Favre

I also have to wonder how many Vikings-fan-Favre-haters will grouse about all the attention he gets from the media once he's wearing a purple uni. winkwink

I know I will be buying a Favre jersey if the vikes get him. I bought a jets one last year. I have always been a fan and was happy when he left GB.

Plans for the year.

Farve to start, he will mentor Sage and Booty who will fight it out for if and when Farve decides to "for sure" hang it up.

T Jack will be offered to be a offensive receiver/slot back/h back or to be released.

John Madden will come out of retirement just to do the commentary on vikes games.

John Madden will come out of retirement just to do the commentary on vikes games.

There is a report out that Madden texted "NO" to Al Michaels when asked if he would return to the booth.

Yes Luke, the force is strong with this one grin .

I will cheer for the Viking's, and if Favre happens to be the QB, he may get a cheer or two from me, but I still will never be a Favre fan. You will never see me in a #4 Viking's jersey unless it has Booty on the back.

"As the World turns"

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, free agent Brett Favre is actively recruiting unemployed quarterback coaches to help him work out in Mississippi as he prepares to play football in 2009.

Mort also dismisses a prior report that Favre had already hired a personal trainer. Favre seems intent on continuing his career and could be a Viking by the end of the week if his meeting with coach Brad Childress goes well.

I would be absolutely shocked if he actually ended up here. You would see all of our games sell out real quick. And for all those Packers fans who come over here when Green Bay comes to town, who would they cheer for??? Would love to see him throw for 300 yards and 4 touches against his old club. grin

My Packers, of course. If Favre wears purple, he's the enemy. gringrin

It's getting pretty close to a lock now. I believe Favre is going to be our starting QB in 2009. It's got me pretty excited to see how well this works out.

I'm with wandering, yea if he gets here I'll support him. But I'll also boo him if he turns to carp.

Just what the Vikes need when they want to milk the clock, 3 yards and a cloud of dust, impose their will, win the battle of the trenches, and play good defense...A guy to take risks and put the ball up for grabs (The question is, am I talking about Rosenfels, TJack, or Favre?). Way to find a guy that fits the style of play you've built.

BTW, bring him in, make no guarantees on whether or not he will be the starter, make him earn starting job. Let him suit up for a couple years, then make him QB coach

Da Chise...that's not the style they've built around---that's the end result when you have no other options.

I hope that last post was a joke Zamboni...or do you really believe that a 39 year old future HOF'er is going to come in and have a three way competion for the starting job...?????? C'mon.

With what I have witnessed this would be nothing new. One person or the whole team, support only comes with wins. If the team is struggling they lose support. Viking fan equals fair weather fan.

If you have questions about this fact check on TV blackouts. Ask a Viking fan to explain this.. he will be able to.... a Packer fan will look at you and say what the F are you talking about what is a black out?

Alot of IF's, AND or BUT's here. First one being...is his arm healed? Second one...does he still have it in his HEART to play, or is it just for veangance against Thompson? One can win with heart, not with anger. If he comes back, I will cheer him individually but as a Packer fan... 2 games a year, he will be the enemy. The rest of your season still has to be played...not mailed in.

How is it fair weather to boo when you someone isn't performing? Like I said, I don't want him here. If he ends up here, I'll chear on the team. But I'll boo the 32 picks he throws in a game.

As far as blackouts, check the economy. Lots of folks can't afford a 2-400 dollar day to go to a game and how do you justify it when the product on the field is sub-par. So be cause you don't go to a game and chear them on from home, that makes you fair-weather? Whatever. I actually got season tickets this year so I'll be at half the games for sure.

Good post!!!

Economy doesnt have anything to do with the blackouts either!! If you a true fan you will do anything to see your team!

Citing sources close to free agent Brett Favre, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Favre signing with Minnesota is far from a done deal due to a "significant tear" in his right biceps tendon.

The Journal Sentinel calls the health of Favre's throwing arm "likely...the determining factor." Favre's injury has reportedly improved little since last year. His options are playing hurt -- which Favre did ineffectively in 2008 -- or having arthroscopic surgery that would sideline him until training camp. The Vikings play just one cold-weather game in 2009, which helps, but Favre might balk if they tell him to fix the injury. He's never been a fan of surgery. May. 5 - 11:43 pm et

All this talk about fair weather fans is bologna!!! If we diss our team it doesn't mean we aren't fans. I'm sure it's nothing but sweet talk in packerville all of the time, no ripping or no talking smack about your beloved team, especially last year when you guys pretty much sucked. I live 250 miles north of the Dome, there is no way I make it down there that often, I sit at home with my brothers, uncles, and dad, WE DON'T miss a game on TV and at times it gets pretty intense in the living room. Calling us fair weather fans because we are critical of our team is just nonsense.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
