The deadline thing sounds like it may be bogus.

Chicago Tribune - Vikings defensive end Jared Allen wants the team to move forward, whether or not Brett Favre comes out of retirement.

"If we get Brett, then that's a bonus," Allen told the Chicago Tribune. "But let's either get it done and get moving on with it or let it go.

"It's not so much that it's a distraction because we're professionals and don't really buy into that. But it's annoying."

Allen's comments echo those of teammate Bernard Berrian.

Packer fan here, Just want you guys who want Brett be careful what you wish for. He is a total douche and is gonna bring your team down if he signs. He's already dividing your locker room and he hasn't even put on one of your purple unies yet. Good luck

Star Tribune - The Star Tribune is reporting that Brett Favre has decided to remain retired.

Judd Zulgad of the Tribune had a conversation with Brad Childress on Tuesday, during which the Minnesota coach admitted that Favre won't be joining the team this season.

"I just think it was a rare opportunity to explore a Hall of Fame quarterback who had background in the NFC and in this division," Childress said. "He knows our system inside out ... This doesn't change anything about how I feel about our football team."

YES, it's over!
