Word on the street earlier today was that Brett Favre and the Vikings had, GASP, already signed a contract. It was shocking, spicy, etc., and properly panned by Ryan Wilson: it doesn't really matter whether there's a deal in place or not, because at no point in the next six months will we stop talking about Favre.Seriously, he can even say "I'm retiring 4eva" and it won't matter, because he's said that before. But, it's at least worth mentioning that Mike Florio's scoop was quickly denied this evening by everyone's favorite sports agent, Bus Cook.
Cook told the St. Paul Pioneer-Press via email, "No contract."
Or in this case, confirmation. But still: Cook, whether he's been right/wrong/whatever -- and regardless of his intentions and motivations, which are clearly client-based -- still has to be considered the second best source (behind the dead horse's mouth) on anything Favre related. So, unless he confirms the deal, it's dead as far as I'm concerned.

I wanted to send you all a link to a new website that I launched today:
www.forgetbrett.com
I love Brett as much as anyone, but enough is enough! Everywhere I go - the health club, a bar, a restaurant, a ball game – people are talking about Brett joining the Vikings and how angry that they would be if that came to pass. I decided to provide these people with an outlet to vent their collective frustrations...thus www.forgetbrett.com.
At www.forgetbrett.com, you can purchase several types of t-shirts, mouse pads, banners and car magnets that will help you voice just how you feel about this ongoing drama. Please visit my site and also please pass the word along to your friends. I would love to see an outpouring of support for our 2009 Green Bay Packers on October 5th and November 1st when we play the Vikings.
Thank you for your support. Please let me know what you think!
