As the Favre watch continues to dominate the NFL news and rumors, Pat Kirwan of NFL.com offers up an informed estimate of the chances that the former Packers quarterback will return in 2008.
“I have talked with a few people close enough to Favre that I now feel comfortable that an 80 percent chance may be a conservative estimate,” Kirwan writes. “He’s throwing footballs, working out and it’s more than an itch to play.”
Really, most league insiders are now presuming that Favre will play in 2008. The only question is where. And if it’s not in Green Bay, Kirwan sums up the situation perfectly: “If Favre throws for 4,000 yards and takes a team deep into the playoffs while the Packers struggle, it could destroy careers for those who made the decision to cut him loose.”

really an 80% chance.. i was thinking more of the 76-77 % range
but i guess kirwan is the professional. There is a 100% chance
i could care less. Its the NFC North. My sister-in-law could QB in that division

@ JimmySmith
There it is again, your extremely original derogatory nickmame for the Vikings - the “BIQUEENS”. Always in capital letters, too. How fun you must be to be around after the 12 pack of Miller High Life; telling your buddies in that cranberry bog about your scathing nickname for the Vikes.
Maybe you haven’t seen my responses in the past to your brilliance, but listen, dude - Biqueens DOES NOT denote the homosexual insult you are going after. Stick with the old standard, Viqueens.
Moron.

Favre won’t throw for 400o yards if Thompson trades him to the right team. For instance, a team with an entrenched starter. Favre isnt able to continue the streak. He stays retired. The End.

apatients4skinsfan, I can think of a few other things your precious sis-in-law can do for the NFC North and all their fans!!! Probably already has. How did the skins do in the playoffs last year? Did’nt they win their division?? You should never get in a fight when you do not have any ammo to back up your thoughtless moronic statements.
P.S. Loved that game against the Pats last year. You guys were funny!!

ZGYI or whatever,
Hey thanks for the help but I was not after a homosexual insult that you infer so you and your boyfriend Bruce can relax about that. I really meant BIQUEENS, as in going both ways, so much easier to get pounded if you don’t have any discretion as to who is doing the pounding.
I love the way those pretty boys in Purple grab their collective ankles every time the Packers roll into town. They are such good hosts, letting Favre throw his record breaking 421st touchdown in front of that 30th ranked pass defense, makes me think the BIQUEENS are really going to the Superbowl as SI has predicted.
Look, if you are going to get insulted everytime someone takes a shot at your team, I would advise turning your attention to women’s golf or pro bowling. But if you are going to favor the BIQUEENS, get used to the abuse. My personal favorite is what’s the difference between Linda Lovelace and the BIQUEENs, Linda doesn’t choke on the big one. If you don’t get it, ask your boyfriend, Bruce.
