Thank God.

I'll believe it on opening day.

For now.

[EZ Living]

I'll believe it when I see it.

^^^^ My sentiments also.

I agree, I won't believe it until I see Tavaris Jackson take a snap. If he does retire, does it mean he cost Vikings chance at McNabb or any other QB's that signed elsewhere?

I think it's legit this time... It's the exact opposite of the last two offseasons: Announced his retirement early, we all thought he was gone, and he comes back.

 

This time we all thought he was coming back for sure until we're a month away from the season starting and then he announces his retirement.

Even then I am not ruling out Favre coming out of retirement a few games in to the season to take over for the Vikes if Jackson is not getting it done.

It probably does, but why does he really care? He was only using the Vikings for personal gain, by trying to stab Green Bay.

So that means he's just questionable for opening week and not probable?

Now the Vikings will pay for their decision to not plan for the immediate future. They deserve whatever losses they accumulate.

I don't believe it either. Wasn't it a month ago when he was saying he didn't want to go to training camp and then Childress said he needed 2-3 weeks of training camp. I think he is giving his ankle a little more time to heal. He had the surgery he said he needed to be able to play. I have a hard time believing he got so close to the Super Bowl and is going to walk away now. I guess we'll see.

And Coach Brad will make a little plane ride to Kile (SP) Mississippi and have a chat with Brett and Diana...
