Favre's Diva Act Isn't Welcome In MinnesotaBy Bill MichaelsJune 18th, 2009 – 2:56 PM by Judd Zulgad from the Minneapolis Star Tribune Q. How would you feel about having Brett Favre as your quarterback?
A. “It would be a great thing to have because he’s a Hall of Fame quarterback. I mean who has been the best quarterback of the past 10 years besides Brett Favre? He’s definitely a Hall of Fame quarterback, put up the numbers and he’ll make things happen for his team. So definitely a great addition to our team.” Q. I’m curious to whether you’re being politically correct right here because there are a number of stories on the Internet that have you saying that most of the guys on the team do not want him as the team’s QB. A. “I never said we didn’t want him. We just don’t want him to bring his prima donna attitude to our team. Because I feel that will break a team apart.” Q. What do you mean by prima donna attitude? A. “Wanting your own locker room and not signing autographs for your teammates and things like that. That’s kind of prima donna-ish to me.” Q. So if he does come in with not signing autographs and needs his own locker room how does that play out with you guys? A. “I don’t think it will divide the team but it will divide us from him. Having his back and things like that. Like I said, you’ve got to trust each other in this game we call football because it’s not an individual sport. So him not having our trust [means] it will definitely be hard for us to trust him.” Q. How is this playing out with Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels? A. “They are not really paying attention. I think they are just pretty much battling between each other. Between them who is going to be the starting quarterback this year. Not worrying about the competition that’s not there. That being Brett Favre.”
Q. If the Favre thing doesn’t workout how much confidence does the entire team have in either one of those guys? A. “I mean Tarvaris took us to the playoffs last year. Why not have confidence in him because he’s proven himself to be able to be that quarterback to take us to the playoffs.” Q. You have been outspoken in your support of Jackson. A. “Absolutely. Because he’s a quarterback that can make the plays and make the throws. It has been proven. We won with him last year and we can win with him this year.”
Q. If Brad Childress came to you today and said you get to make the decision who do you want as your QB? A. “Tarvaris. Hands down. Like I said, he can make the throws, he’s able to escape the pocket if he has to and make plays with his feet.”

Let him play. In all he is hurting himself. He did well with the Pack, chocked in NY and what do you think will happen in MN... a miracle? I'm glad I was able to see his first game and enjoyed all he gave the Pack.

Thugs in NY? How about people who actually know Brett? Who worked with him day in and day out. I am more inclined to believe them rather than a star stuck brain dead fan. Even Ron Wolf thinks what Brett is doing is a mistake. Think he is a thug too?

Brett Favre has won 3 playoff games this decade!Why the Vikings think he is the answer is beyond me!This is not Brett from the 90s anymore!If there is a division in the locker room now can you imagine what happens when Brett can not fullfill all expectations!This might be fun to watch

Jeff you again have proven what an idiot you are!! Favre is a great teammate, I never heard DD or any other Packer say anything bad about him who cares what all the thugs in New York thought. Bottom line is that Favre is a legend and great player and you need to get over it.

Tavaris is being really tactful. Read between the lines and add to what Jets players said and you really get an indication of what Brett Favre really is. Low class diva.

When this saga is finally over, that's when we will really hear all of Favre's dirty laundry aired. This is one can of worms that Favre will regret ever opening. He should have been a man and kept his word the first time and stayed retired. If the locker room walls in Green Bay could only talk.

Remember the words of the late great Vince Lombardi: "Money isn't everything, it's the only thing."

I've been a loyal Packer fan for over forty years. Saw the good and the bad. I don't really care if Brett plays for Minnesota. He gave us 16 good years and the team has since moved on. Let him play if he wants to
