  • Favre Talk: Just Ignore It

    I\’ve done my best over the past few weeks to ignore all the \”Favre un-retiring and going to the Vikings\” speculation. It is getting more difficult to do as the media is in full frenzy mode with the report that Coach Brad Childress was on his way to Memphis (where I would think he would…
