    Brett Favre tells Minnesota Vikings he will not play in 2010
    Brett Favre told Minnesota Vikings officials on Monday night that he will not play in the 2010 season, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and Fox Sports reported.


    Brett Favre told Minnesota Vikings officials on Monday night that he will not play in the 2010 season, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and Fox Sports reported.
    Favre, 40, who has consistently said throughout the offseason that he was unsure if he'd play this season, is expected to make a public statement later today, the paper said.
    Brett Favre worked out with high school players in Mississippi several times this summer.

    The Vikings have not commented on Favre's status on Tuesday. Fox Sports reported that the Vikings hope Favre will change his mind. ESPN reported that Favre has been sending text messages to teammates in the past day.Favre's agent, Bus Cook, did not respond to a message seeking comment from USA TODAY.
    FAVRE WATCH: What Favre has said about a potential return since January
    Favre had surgery on his left ankle in May, and he told USA TODAY last month that he just couldn't decide if his body would hold up to the stress of a 20th NFL season.
    But Favre has been through this before. In 2008, he retired from the Green Bay Packers in March only to return in July and be traded to the New York Jets.
    He then retired in early 2009, only to make a comeback for last season. He initially told the Vikings in late July 2009 that he would remain retired, but changed his mind by mid-August.
    Vikings coach Brad Childress has said he's content to wait as long as possible for Favre, and believes he only needs 2-3 weeks of preparation for the season.

                  New Orleans wrecked him with cheap shots
                  and the refs gave them the game.

                    What an arrogant prick

                    I love how everything revolves around him.

                    I guess Minnesota should have looked for a QB in the draft or offseason. What a prick to put his teams season in his pocket and than just toss it away as if he is the only player who wants to win a superbowl.

                      This is pretty big news. We might expect him to be there in mid season possibly. I don't know what to think here. I think he should have retired earlier and gave them plenty of notice here if he does not play the season.

                        That's the Saints. Cheap shots to the QB. Same thing happened to Warner. Not many talk about it, because of their high powered offense, but this team is dirty. Just a matter of time before opponents get in a few brain shaking cheap shots against Brees.

                          The Saints don't play dirty. It's call being aggressive!


                          And our o line is to good for Brees to even get touched. Brees had the fewest sacks last year and it will stay like that because teams are scared to blitz him.

                                  This doesn't mean diddly squat. Favre aint retired until the Vikings are done for the season. If he hasn't played a down then he is retired, until then...

                                      Brad Childress will have to sell his first born or next born child in order to get Favre on the field, i don't see him coming back - and the Vikings are in real trouble but i think Sage Rosenfels is better than Jackson. We will see what the next steps are.

                                        Jackson will be the starter. Rosenfels has been horrible in training camp.

                                            If Favre does not come back(highly unlikely that he doesn't) Jackson will definately be the starter.

                                              What he will do is let them start without him and when they start the season 4-4 or 3-5 he will come to play the last 8 games and be deemed as a hero for taking them to the playoffs and collecting a year's salary for playing half the games.

                                                Your team, your rose colored glasses.

                                                Speaking for myself, I thought the defense was dirty. Late hits to the QB. But I looked past it because I liked watching the offense. For the new season, if somebody takes Brees head off with a late hit I'm fine with it.
