Farve is at it again
He is back.
Favre tells teammates he's back; flying back to Minn. - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN
The on-again, off-again drama that is Brett Favre now appears to be on again. A trio of Vikings teammates including Pro Bowl guard Steve Hutchinson, defensive end Jared Allen and kicker Ryan Longwell flew to Hattiesburg, Miss., to push Favre to give them one more season.
Is Brett Favre back?
Two weeks after Brett Favre apparently told his Vikings teammates he will not return for the 2010 season, he told them a different story. Check out our full coverage.
* Favre back in Minny with teammates
* Hench: Favre more cruel than LeBron
* Video: Favre's comings and goings
* Kriegel: Favre is marring his legacy
* WhatIfSports.com: Vikes with and without Favre
* Video: Childress, Rosenfels react
* Czar: Packers skeptical about news
* Teammate: Favre talked retirement
* Video: Favre news fantasy impact
Favre informed the trio Tuesday that he is, in fact, back in and will rejoin the Vikings, FOXSports.com has learned.
The plane carrying Favre and the players landed at an airport outside Minneapolis on Tuesday afternoon. However, while signs point to Favre coming back, neither he nor his agent have informed the team that he’s returning. And with Favre, another change of heart is certainly not out of the question.
Favre's official Web site e-mailed members of the media with the message: "Stay tuned for breaking news from the Minnesota Vikings today on Brett Favre's possible return."
This latest decision is a complete switch from two weeks ago, when Favre informed teammates that he was retiring -- citing wear and tear on his body -- in text messages seen by FOXSports.com. The team however, immediately responded by offering Favre more money, and teammates reached out imploring the quarterback to reconsider or to take more time.
Although Favre has frequently gone back and forth, it was widely assumed, in the end, that he would rejoin the Vikings. That belief was reinforced on Aug. 12 when the 11-time Pro Bowler and three-time All Pro traveled from Hattiesburg to Pensacola, Fla. to have his surgically repaired left ankle examined by Dr. James Andrews.
Tuesday’s morning meeting with Hutchinson, Allen and Longwell appears to have served its purpose. Favre, who led the Vikings to a 12-4 regular-season finish and the NFC title game last season, now appears fully prepared to play a 20th NFL season.

Should be a great year in the NFC North.. Personally I think Favre is great for the game... Packer fans just have the good ole "ex girlfriend syndrome"... Ask any true packer fan and they will tell you they still love Favre and wish him nothing but luck (except when they play the packers).

Glad he's back. Packers pushed him out and the dude loves the game. That or he's going it to get out of the house and away from the wife for a while...
