The Facts:
Following up on
the ongoing story. ... Latest buzz is that new free-agent Favre, 39, who could end up with the Vikings, has hired a personal trainer at home in Mississippi.
Reported by the St. Paul Pioneer-Press
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In a column that appears to be based more on speculation than fact, Pioneer Press staffer Charley Waters adds: "Favre's sudden arrival on the market makes you wonder if that's the reason the Vikings haven't spent much on free agency this year. Maybe they knew something. ..." Waters went on to suggest, however, that requesting his release from the Jets could be Favre's way of pushing the Packers back into
a $20 million marketing deal that fell through when he unretired last year. As Waters framed it: "Give me the $20 million and I'll stay retired. If not, I'll sign with the Vikings and make life miserable for the Packers. ..." Yet another interesting twist to this tale. And of course, there will be more. So stay tuned for the next installment of "As The Favre Turns."
