The Ever Important Brett Favre Update

According to Pro Football Talk via Jay Glazer, the Minnesota Vikings might not be totally interested in bringing Brett Favre in with the team.

The Vikings are "split" on whether to pursue Favre and they haven't even talked about bringing Favre on board. Via PFT:

In Glazer’s podcast, per Chip Scoggins of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the Fox Sports insider reports that the Favre situation definitely remains up in the air.

“This is just Favre and Brad Childress,” Glazer said. “That’s all it is right now. It’s Favre meeting with Brad Childress. The organization has not yet met to discuss the possibility of signing Brett Favre. The organization is pretty much split.

“Right now, a lot of people in the organization who feel, ‘Hey, we’re below the radar right now. Everybody is focusing on the Chicago Bears because they have Jay Cutler. Nobody is really looking at us right now. All we have is Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson.’ [Favre] would put [the Vikings] obviously well on the map and well over the radar, if you will.”

Favre reportedly remains extremely bitter about his messy divorce from the Green Bay Packers and holds a grudge against General Manager Ted Thompson, according to a recent report from Gary Myers of the New York Daily News.
That's a pretty crappy reason to play for the Vikings. All you want to do is exact revenge against your former team.

So why would the Vikings want Favre if he is only thinking about himself? And what do Green Bay fans think of this, after many years cheering for the guy?

This saga will continue for the rest of the week. I expect ESPN to once again cover this event like a Presidential election, but I expect Jay Glazer to break the story. It happened last year, remember?
