So what is this Favre Presser about? (1 Viewer)

[Sabertooth]

I just flipped on Sportscenter and noticed in huge letters that Favre has a presser. What could be so important that the worst team in a division needs to have a Wednesday presser? Hank Baskett? Really?

He's retiring, but will return in a few weeks.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

He's going public to deny the rampant rumors that he's been texting pictures of his #### to Baskett's wife.

 

[sho nuff]

Wouldn't it just be his time during the week that he is available to the press?

Think its pretty standard for several players on each team (especially QBs)

Umm most of the key players have a Wednesday presser every week. At least Brad and Brett do. Why the national media is watching I have no idea. If you want you can head over to Vikings.com to watch a live stream. I think the real question is why do you have such an obsession with a player and a team that you obviously hate? Isn't it Packers-Bears week and you still can't get the taste of Brett out of your mouth?

They never showed it. After taking up almost a quarter of screen real estate advertising it was COMING UP for 2 hours prior.

Maybe they were expecting news, but it didn't happen

 

[JbizzleMan]

He was going to announce his retirement, but then changed his mind on his way to the podium.

 

[JHuber77]

Maybe he wants to be the one to announce that the Vikings may have acquired Vincent Jackson???

 

[identikit]

per PFT:

Vikes moved Favre's press conference to Thursday, which makes sense since he likely would have been pressed about Vincent Jackson.

This was more my question.

It covered 1/4 of the screen on sportscenter for like an hour, chum. I thought maybe something was up.

NFL live is on in a few seconds and I'm sure it'll be talked about there. I'd have to agree with PFT's take that everyone wanted to know the final say on VJax and the shaky WR situation made even worse with the uncertainty surrounding Percy Harvin.

My question still remains, why the unhealthy obsession with a team and a QB that you obviously hate? I know that I'd be ####s deep in Packers-Bears week.

It was taking over my TV screen as well. I could care less about the team. I thought there would be some important news besides Favre talking about the Lions on national television.

I don't hate Favre. To the contrary, he's my second favorite player of all time right behind Reggie White. The obsession is twofold. The first reason is simply unbridled schadenfreude. The second is that I own Percy Harvin and Vincent Jackson in a dynasty league, along with All Day and Shiancoe in another league so I was wondering what was up. Oh, and I do hate the Vikings, oh I do.
