Favre: I wouldn't put anything past me

Brett Favre had gotten rid of the walking boot on his left foot Thursday as he made his way through the Vikings locker room and continued to seem optimistic that he might be able to do some work in prepartion for playing Sunday at New England.






















"I wouldn't put anything past me to be honest with you," said Favre, who suffered a stress fracture in his left ankle and a fractured left heel on Sunday at Green Bay.





















The 20-year veteran seemed in good spirits as he walked gingerly and sorted through his locker looking for a shoe. Favre was looking for a size-15 shoe for his left foot, something he would wear against the Patriots. That is exactly what Favre did in 2000 when he suffered a severly sprained left foot but played the next week and led the Packers to a 26-24 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Favre wears a size-14 shoe ordinarily.





















As far as talking to coach Brad Childress in the past day to make a determination about playing, Favre said: "We haven't talked really. I've been getting treatment. I don't think that is an unusual thing with me [to not have discussed it yet.]"

Vikings Deal Rosenfels And Reynaud To Giants

Sage Rosenfels

Madieu Williams

NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Giants have acquired QB Sage Rosenfels and RB Darius Reynaud from the Minnesota Vikings for undisclosed draft picks.

A person within the league who is familiar with the trade confirmed the Giants have dealt for Rosenfels to back up Eli Manning. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not officially been announced.

The Giants lost backup Jim Sorgi with a shoulder injury and he was placed on injured reserve, leaving untested Rhett Bomar as the only other quarterback.

Rosenfels was third string behind Brett Favre and Tarvaris Jackson in Minnesota. He is entering his 10th NFL season as a backup quarterback.

The Vikings acquired Rosenfels from Houston in a trade before last season and signed him to a two-year deal worth $9 million to compete with Tarvaris Jackson for the starting job.

At the time, Rosenfels was thrilled to be coming to a team giving him a legitimate shot at winning the job for the first time. After an offseason of working out and learning the system, however, Rosenfels' big shot was dashed when Favre waltzed in to take over.

Rosenfels spent all of last season as the No. 3 quarterback behind Favre and Jackson.

``If it's true sad to c you go sage good QB great teammate,'' Vikings receiver Greg Lewis tweeted on Friday night. ``Good luck in new York.''

There was a brief glimmer of hope for Rosenfels this summer when Favre was considering retirement. Once again, that ended after the first preseason game, when the Vikings flew three high-profile teammates to Mississippi to persuade Favre to return for one more year.

Time was running out for the 32-year-old Rosenfels, who clearly grew more frustrated with his position on the team.

He had an impressive preseason opener at St. Louis, completing 23 of 34 passes for 310 yards and three touchdowns. But he was just 8 for 17 for 92 yards with one TD in the next three games combined, and coach Brad Childress said after the preseason finale that Jackson would be Favre's backup again this season.

The move means that the Vikings likely will keep rookie Joe Webb as the third quarterback.

Sorgi signed with New York as a free agent after six seasons as Peyton Manning's backup in Indianapolis.

Brand New Receiving Core For Vikings?

  The Sidney-Rice-less Vikings obviously have no problem adding receivers after snagging Javon Walker and Greg Camarillo last week. Camarillo showed his football acumen Saturday against Seattle with four catches and 47 yards despite just two days of practice for the former Miami Dolphin.
Walker made a sensational 25-yard touchdown catch on a lob between two Seahawks defenders, but he also missed on a few balls thrown his way.
Should the Vikings add one more player off waivers or through a trade? Depends on how happy they are with Walker.
Two popular options being bantered about...
Antonio Bryant -- Bengals paying him $7.85 million just to release him, so he can't be too ready to play. SI's Peter King points out that Bryant has Chondral Defect of the knee, a long-term problem that could scare teams from picking him up off waivers.
Laveranues Coles -- The 32-year-old Coles is reportedly eyeing retirement, but if he's got something left in the tank, maybe the Vikings can convince him.
Not sure either of those players add much value at this stage in their careers, but you've got to think the Vikings will explore all options.

    Now back to Percy Harvin Minnesota Vikings fans / Percy Harvin's migraine headaches have been a riddle that no one has been able to solve.
After another battery of tests last week, and a promising 2010 preseason debut, Harvin hopes he is getting closer to figuring out a debilitating medical condition that has plagued him for most of his life.
The Minnesota Vikings receiver had two catches for 30 yards and took two big shots to the head Saturday night in a preseason victory over Seattle, the first time he's played this year after being stricken by migraines for most of training camp.
``I felt great,'' Harvin said after the game. ``Just glad to get back out there with my teammates and work some of the rust off. I've got a lot of work to do, conditioning-wise, but it felt good to get out there.''
Harvin has barely practiced this month while dealing with the death of his grandmother and a string of headaches that have been maddeningly random and devastatingly severe. No one knows exactly when they're going to occur or what triggers them. Even more frustrating, doctors and trainers have been unable to come up with a treatment to neutralize them.
The Vikings have gone to great lengths to try to identify the causes and understand the problem.
``It's kind of a tenuous thing,'' coach Brad Childress told The Associated Press last month. ``What can exacerbate migraines? Stress? Check. Fatigue? Check. Head or neck trauma? Hmmm.''
Despite playing a sport that doesn't exactly help his condition, Harvin said he has no plans on making a career change.
``It's been rough, but it's life,'' Harvin said. ``I don't want the easy way out sometimes. It's life, I'm dealing with it. I finally got back and it's good to be back out here with my teammates.''
He missed one game last year because of the headaches and missed several practices in the playoffs. But teammates and coaches got their first real glimpse of how serious they can be on Aug. 19, when Harvin vomited and collapsed on the practice field.
He was taken by ambulance to a local hospital and spent the night. More tests ensued and Harvin surprisingly suited up for the game Saturday night despite not practicing all week.
``I did a test (Friday) night and they found some things that we think was the main cause of it,'' Harvin said. ``We're feeling really confident. I know we said that a couple times, but I think this time we found what the main cause was. I'm not saying I'll never get a headache again, but hopefully we can slow it down a little bit.''
The Vikings know they have to be cautious in their optimism, but they were treating that development as good news for the reigning offensive rookie of the year.
With Sidney Rice out for possibly the entire first half of the season with a hip injury, Harvin's importance to the offense has grown exponentially. He is Brett Favre's favorite target and a valued weapon for offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, who can line him up at receiver or running back.
``It was a good start,'' Favre said of Harvin's first game. ``Percy's a football player. I'm not surprised at anything he does.''
Harvin absorbed two big hits in the game, one from Lofa Tatupu that knocked his helmet off in the first half and another from safety Earl Thomas on a slant over the middle.
``He didn't seem any worse for the wear,'' Childress said. ``He took a couple of pretty good licks.''
Harvin knows that's going to come with the territory and prepared himself for it.
``Everybody looks for that first contact to get hit, to feel part of the game,'' he said. ``I was looking forward to getting hit.''

Vikings Superbowl!!

Brett Is Back In Town

     We all remember were we were when Brett Favre arrived in Ziggy Wolf's private plane. It's a moment in sports where you can truly remember where you were because the world stood still that afternoon of which Brett Favre returned,  only this time for his final season. It will transcend memory just like when 9/11 happened, when the 1980 U.S. Team pulled off the miracle on ice against the "unbeatable" soviets, when In a scene straight out of Hollywood,  when an injured Kirk Gibson hits a pinch-hit game-winning home run for the Dodgers in the World Series,  when Mark McGwire breaks the home run record, survives a late surge from Sammy Sosa, and goes on to hit 70, when  Joe Namath delivers on his guarantee of a victory in Super Bowl III, as the Jets upset the heavily favored Colts, or when Hank Aaron breaks Babe Ruth's career home run record. I was at work, like most of you, but the rest of the day faded away because all I could think about is that man's devotion to his team and football. Have we ever witnessed a more amicable, passionate, loving, and driven player in all of sports history. It can be argued, but I strongly believe that Brett Favre will go down as the new symbol and role model of how football should be played for this era. People looking back can reflect on his pure joy and love for the game and his teammates and his never give up attitude. Adding that for a quarterback who's done and seen so much he still remains the same throughout his whole career; humble, well-spoken, enticing, true, and so confident within himself. Brett Favre will be remembered as the role model in all of sports because of his ability of not letting fame change you and consistently playing at a high level. He never let the game change him, he changed the game by attracting more viewers, getting rid of some of the over alpha-male image,and bringing viewers some of the best highlights and moments in sports history.You know, he's kind-of like a waffle: he never changes like a waffle has never changed the way it has been served for its existence, it's the highlight of your day like Brett Favre is for a lot of football [especially Vikings] fans, and its consistent and nice to have meaning that waffles always taste sweet and buttery like Brett Favre's consistency of high-level play. The point is, we are truly blessed to have our icon of football play another year, even if  just for  one more.


Without Brett Favre we were looking at two quarterbacks with a combined 16-15 record and no playoff wins. With on offense to Jackson or Rosenfels, the Vikings chances of winning the Superbowl were 1-20 without Favre and with him 1-10.Our chance to win the NFC championship title is 1-6. Tell me that isn't music to your ears Vikings fans. Statistically and emotionally we are one of the strongest teams going into the 2010-2011 NFL season. The only hinder is our schedule; the third toughest schedule in the league this year. Take a look:

Minnesota Vikings Schedule

9/09 Minnesota Vikings @ New Orleans Saints -Biggest game of the year, we should show them how lucky they were during that NFC Championship Game Last Year!
9/19 Miami Dolphins @ Minnesota Vikings- Automatic Win, no threats on Offense!
9/26 Detroit Lions @ Minnesota Vikings- Automatic Win, Enough Said

12.26 Minnesota Vikings @ Philadelphia Eagles- Brett Favre Is Too Good To Be Stopped And Adrian Peterson Has A Good Day!
1/2/2011 Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions- When's the last time the Lions beat us, 2007?


Just on a side note, the only reason why Brett made that ballsy pass verse the Saints in the NFC championship game was because of his teammates, specifically Ryan Longwell. We all know that Ryan has been Brett's friend and good teammate at times in the NFL and he didn't want to put the pressure on him or leave him with a really hard field goal opportunity, so he threw it. It got intercepted, but the reason behind his reckless decision was invoked by emotion and not rationality. Brett let the emotions of the game swallow him up and chose to be the leader and put the game on his shoulders like he did for a lot of the comeback wins we had[ the pass to Greg Lewis]. So, put that ongoing discussion of the faultless interception behind you because guaranteed Favre threw so that his teammate could have a more conceivable try at the game-winning field goal, not because he made a true mistake, Veterans of his caliber don't make true mistakes like that for no reason.


    So, Vikings Fans were on our way to the Superbooooowlllll!! Emulation: Brett Favre has another amazing season and Adrian Peterson doesn't fumble and we roll into the playoffs this time with an even temperament and blow on to the Superbowl  vs Colts. Vikings pull it off and claim their first Franchise title  and destiny falls where it may. Brett Favre the best QB in the league last year, except for damn Drew Brees, is back and my year just got a whole lot better!Once again Brett stole the limelight from Hayneswrth, Mcnabb, Rodgers, Brees, Owens, and Ochocinco. This year will be remembered as Brett Favre's last year and the year that was magical, not for Favre like 2009, but  for the Vikings and all of Minnesota!
