One of the factors in LaDainian Tomlinson’s decision to sign with the New York Jets instead of the Minnesota Vikings was the uncertainty regarding the playing status of Vikings quarterback Brett Favre.
But according to Bob Glauber of Newsday, Favre himself attempted to assuage any doubts Tomlinson had.
Glauber reports, citing a source familiar with the Vikings’ situation, that Favre was heavily involved in the recruitment process and spoke to Tomlinson by phone.
I’m not among the 35 online subscribers to Newsday, so I can’t tell you what else Glauber’s story says, but Glauber notes that if Favre is actively trying to recruit players for the Vikings’ 2010 roster, that’s a pretty big clue that Favre himself plans to be on the Vikings’ 2010 roster.
Of course, even if that’s what Favre plans right now, the chances are pretty good that he’ll change his mind in the next few months. Probably several times.
Swing and a miss.
bottom line, why would LT wanna sit behind Peterson waiting for an injury.
I’m glad he’s coming back, cause I want to see J Pepp terrorize him for two games next season!
lt left minny because Favre is NOT playing this year
Like the rest of America, LT doesn’t believe anything Favre says until he yells the word “hike”
“Of course, even if that’s what Favre plans right now, the chances are pretty good that he’ll change his mind in the next few months. Probably several times.”
CMON MAN!!!!
No surprise there. Tomlinson wouldn’t have considered the Vikes at all without assurances that Favre would be back.
The bottom line is that Tomlinson went with the money. Endorsement deals in New York. I think the Jets had a Cinderella season though. First year cioach and QB with the JETS of all teams. Thyat isn’t going to happen twice. He’ll learn like Houshmanzedah. Money and Championships don’t always go hand in hand. The Jets will miss Thomas Jones and I think Sanchez will come bvack down to Earth. Ryan will probably explode causing choas in the locker room as well.
He’s back. There’s no doubt.
this story is asking for a lot of comments
Then he signs with the Jets. That’s LT giving Brent the big F*$k you.
My opinion on why i’m not surprised LT didn’t go to Minn. is, one, the Jets have a offensive corr. that just happens to be his true coaches son in Brian Schott. and , two, I think he wants to give it to ol’ Hoodie over there there in New England. I’m far from a Jets fan, but I’ll be rooting for LT.
NICE! Shows that Favre actually cares about his team and is focused on recruiting the right people to help win a Super Bowl. Favre will be back!
If Favre was actually involved in trying to recruit LT for the Vikings, I can’t imagine why LT would pick the Jets. I mean, I know the Vikings are cursed and all, but the Jets are cursed too! Favre, Peterson, Shiancoe, and Rice make a near-unbeatable team.
Isn’t Bob Glauber the same guy that said the Bengals would not even interested in T.O.?
How is this guy a legit reporter?
Every time I see him on Cold Pizza/First Take/First and Ten/First and Pizza/Cold Hearted Skip Bayless puking Pizza, he is always wrong.
Maybe Favre telling LT he was coming back is what prompted LT to go to the Jets. Unlike Jared Allen (and Pervy Harvin), not everyone likes butt slaps from other men.
Favre will play in 2010. And he won’t make his “decision” until after training camp is over. Conveniently.
Big deal. If La Toya Jackson can be a police officer Brett Favre can pull the trigger on some Viking personnel moves.
I wouldn’t believe a word of what LT says…he’s the consumate game player. He had no intention of signing in Minn (read ZIP)….he was simply using tMinn as leverage to get his deal. LT believes his golden ticket is tied to the big apple and madison avenue (endorsement deals)
Favre could always use a good checkdown receiver to overlook at a crucial time.
Just another reason for me to believe that #4 will be back, and that is all we need (oh, and keeping injuries to a minmum) to get to the promised land.
Anybody who doesn’t have this team as a favorite for the SB with Favre back doesn’t have a clue.
Peter King and Tony Kornheiser certainly won’t be able to understand how someone can resist the charms of Favre.
Did you know that you could rearrange the letters in “assuage” to get “sausage”? How neat!
“Heavily involved”?
I really doubt it.
and he still won’t get the Queens to a super bowl.
“That’s a pretty big clue that Favre himself plans to be on the Viking’s 2010 roster”
That logic seems a little off to me. If Favre was involved in recruiting LT and LT still said one of the reasons he chose the Jets was because the uncertainty of Favre returning, then it’s obvious Favre couldn’t convince him. That doesn’t sound like a real positive sign to me.
I wonder if Brett has had the thought run through his head that maybe he actually hurt the Vikings, even himself, here by not being 100% in or out…..nnnaaaahhhh.
Cue the Favre haters for wanting to recruit Hall of Fame talent to his team, because, you know, Favre should be happy with the players he has.
Of course Tom Brady recruits Randy Moss and he’s considered a hero and a great guy, but when Favre did it, the Favre-haters (including Florio( gave him $hit for trying to be GM.
Go figure.
The only thing Brett Favre should be involved in is going thru the offseason with his teammates to avoid another colossol choke job.
Oh yeah, heavily involved….
ChiliDog: Hey Butt, say a few words to LT for us.
Butt Farte: Sure little buddy.
LT: Butt? Butt Farte?
BF: Yeah, LT. It’s me, how you doin’, what Steak house did those beap chastards take you to?
LT: Bonanza, but they let me get an extra baked potatoe.
BF: Good for you, get what ya’ can.
LT: So, tell me, how was it with this team last year?
BT: It was great. Great organization, friendly people. Let me skip all of Training Camp and we got a long great. Wonderful guys in the locker room. I stand behind them, one and all.
LT: So, you comin’ back next year?
BT: Huh? Me? Geez, I don’t know what I want to do yet, haven’t even thought about it yet.
chirp, chirp.
LT: Ok, Butt thanks.
BT: Anytime LT. Remember, get what you can and run!
LT: Will do, later Butt.
Proof positive that the Jets offered more playing time than playing behind Adrian Peterson of the Queens did, and, MORE LIKELY, more money.
Nothing more.
I guess Las Vegas Casinos don’t have a clue!
Favre is a BROWN next season. Lock it up!
& Tomlinson figured out that Farves a bullshiting Douche Bag. Went to the Jets.
he is back and this time the PACKERS will put him on the ass seat of his pants in the dome and lambeau.
I can hardly wait for someone from the packers to clean his clock
He picked the Jets because he has always dreamed of catching a pass from the great Brett Favre.
And we all know the best way to catch a Favre pass is to wear another team’s jersey.
I heard that Farve has been calling Barry Sanders also.
So you’re saying Favre made a pitch and LT was picked off by the Jets?
As long as it ends in Jets misery Im happy.
Nice! This means if Favre doesnt play this year hell be working in personell! Seriously this is pretty good news for Vikings fans.
Favre tried to recruit someone? What a prima donna.
Everything was going fine until Chilly slipped on the cheerleader outfit.
If I was LT, and Favre was trying to recruit me, it would have a negative effect and push me AWAY from signing with the Vikes. Seems like LT had the same idea.
Couldn’t wait to drop Favre’s name, couldya?
“if Favre is actively trying to recruit players for the Vikings’ 2010 roster, that’s a pretty big clue that Favre himself plans to be on the Vikings’ 2010 roster.”
Insightful speculation, thanks for nothing Glauber….NOTHING

No, turd.
That is LT knowing he has a better chance for playing time in NY.
It’s aldo LT getting more $ offered by the Jets.
Pretty simple if you ask me. Kinda like yourself.
Brett working his way out of NY and signing with the Vikings…….
That’s giving GB and it’s fans a “big F*$k you!!
Tell me how that one felt….with no vaseline?
people need to stop talking about a guy who averaged 3.3 ypc last season like he is a game changer. Favres offseason antics just continue to hurt teams he is on.
It’s all about the yardage LT thinks he can get in New York. He saw the small amount of action Chester Taylor got last year and even Adrian had less action because of Favre. LT just wants to keep moving up in the record books in an offense that is built around the run….the Vikings are no longer built around the run.
That said…I still think he made the wrong choice. The Jets already have 2 backs that average over 4 yards per carry. He’ll be sharing time with 2 other backs. And after he has a crappy season filled with “injuries” they’ll cut him just like they cut Thomas Jones. LT doesn’t run hard anymore. He’s soft and falls down as soon as someone touches him. He has blamed it on injuries the last couple years, but I don’t know if I buy it.
LT is an idiot. I can’t wait to see Mark Sanchez lead the league in interceptions, and LT pissed on the sideline
Talk is cheap, they play each other next season-we’ll see who laughs last and hardest!
@ rbais2
First and Pizza!!!!! That is hil-arious
It didn’t matter who tried to recruit LT. He has a better chance of beating out Shonn Greene for the starting job than he does beating out AP in Minnesota. That’s what motivated him to sign with NY.
Of course Brett’s coming back, probably around the end of August. This guy can’t stand not being in the limelight. I’m sure Chilly was in Mississippi to submit any potential personnel moves for Brett’s approval.
…Brett Pharv was also involved in getting Randy Moss to Green Bay.
Awwwwww…
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Every story about farve continues to add on to the fact the he is the biggest horse’s ass in the NFL.
We BEG of you, soap opera boy, GO AWAY!
Sounds to me like the Vikings used LT to see if he could get a commitment out of Favre a little early.
I heard that LT called Brett on the flight back to San Diego from NY, and off the record, Farve told him “I don’t know yet”.
Easy decision for LT. Take the NY endorsements and go for it.
What a slap in the face but something tells me that Chilly’s dating history has made him used to it by now. While no one is 100% sure why LT signed with the Jets, I have to believe he doesn’t have much confidence in the entire Viking organization and finds Favre as believable as the tears at his first retirement press conference or Favre’s 2nd retirement comments about having nothing left or his comments all during training camp until the moment his chauffeur pulled up to the airport.
Like the boy who cried Wolf, Favre can no longer be taken at face value. Unless he promises to throw INT’s in key playoff games, then you can take that to the bank because his track record really backs that one up.
picksixbolts says that LadyT wants to give it to the old hoodie in NE.
How is he going to do that sitting on the bench sulking behind his shield? Maybe after the game when Rex kisses BB rings.
Favre recruiting skills…FAIL
Favre to Tomlinson: Please sign with the vikings, I cant stand the thought of AP fumbling away my dream again
chickenragnar -
Brett Favre sticking Tracy Porter in the chest was a big LOL for Packer nation.
Why are Vikings fans even remotely disappointed in this?????? I caould have cared less if he did, or didn’t sign. We are talking about a HOF running back on his last hurrah. It will be sad to see Tomlinson ( I don’t refer to him as L.T. We already had one of those, and he is in the HAll already) as a former shell of himself.
It wasn’t money (ironically enough) that brought LaDainian to NY. Nor was it the desire to win a title. He choose the Jet’s because they promised him more playing time. I wouldn’t have minded him as a 3rd down guy, getting around 5-7 touches per game. He will see twice that in NY, and by November the old body will be aching.
I am sure the Vikings will end up just fine…..
Brett was involved cause LT probably said “is it Tavaris or is Brett coming back?”…..Chilly had to call Brett and he said “Maybe”….lol
LT to the J-E-T-S…….looking forward to some “All Day” fumbles this year and some wild ass Brett Favre Int’s
Signed all of the NFC!!!!!
mmm…. attempted sausage….
Sure that belong in a Ben Rothlisberger article? Rothlissausage? anyone? anyone?
Maybe LT went elsewhere BECAUSE Favre is still sitting on the fence. This is another good example of the BS you have to put up with when Brett calls all the shots. Remember when I chided the Vikings for going “all-in” with this guy? Do you have a clue yet what I was talking about? Well…..get one.

HAHAHAHAAH Puker Clowns. They couldn’t even touch Favre last year when he made the pukers his bitches. Get ready for round two, losers…
I’m EXTREMELY skeptical of this one. I would need to get this confirmed from LT or Brett, because I don’t buy it.
If Brett recruited LT so numerously and strongly as this report suggests, than I don’t think LT would’ve signed with NY, or LT would’ve given some sort of clue/indication about his conversation with Brett if it took place when explaining why he chose NY.
Brett has been tight lipped about next year, and I don’t think he would let his reveal come from a “Newsday” source.
Where Favre and Tomlinson will be playing is a huge story – if it’s 2005.
How could LT turn down Brett Favre and a guaranteed Super Bowl title? I simply do not understand! Doesn’t he know that Brett Favre has single handedly won the Super Bowl each and every year since he entered the league with the Falcons in 1991? Most people who watch the NFL can’t even remember a Super Bowl in which Brett Favre did not participate and win, and almost all of them won with Favre throwing a last minute, pinpoint, brilliant pass under great pressure and duress.
It’s not like the Vikings are QB’d by a big game choke artist or something, you know, the kind of guy who either throws multiple picks returned for touchdowns in big games or throws the most boneheaded interceptions when it really matters. Jeeesh…..
How stupid can somebody get?!
“LT, This Brett, go to Minnesota. You’ll love it there.”
“what about you Brett, will I get to ball with ya?”
“Uh Yeah, I mean No, well Maybe….I’ll get back to ya on that. Hey, did Chilly pick ya up at the airport?”
“Yeah, What’s up with the 87′ Broncho? Didn’t he just get a new deal?”
“I got him that deal. Hey, you Need a Sear’s TV? Oh right Visio.”
What’s up with AP and the Fumbles, Brett?”
“Culpepper gave him a hand transplant before he left.”
“Oh, that explains it. Hey, how did you like New York?”

Super
So if you blame Favre’s missing training camp for his choke, what is Rodgers’ excuse? He basically had 3 years of training camp, was there for all of the 2009 camp, and still choked when it mattered most.
Using your logic, a playoff collapse is inevitable for Rodgers, seeing as how he has and will continue to show up for camp, and has choked in 100% of his playoff appearances.
Sanchez could have that “sophomore slump”. Kinda like Matt Ryan and Flacco, had last year.
“….[LT] has a better chance of beating out Shonn Greene for the starting job than he does beating out AP in Minnesota. That’s what motivated him to sign with NY. ”
smoking crack. Green will be in his second year, and judging from last season’s performance in the playoffs no less? no way anybody beats this guy.
Back on the Bandwagon, Vikings fans!!!
You’re gonna win the Super Bowl now, right?

Of course he was involved, farve runs the vikings.

Yeah, you got us on that one. But I also said that the only thing the Vikings will have to cheer about (at the end) were those same two wins over the Packers, which earned them a big ol’ “good for you!” I think that falls a bit short of the expectations you were predicting for the Vikings, doesn’t it? I feel pretty good about the Packers 2009 season. You must feel (familiarily) like crap.
Class would be an organization who took a stand on a prima dona QB who wanted to run the team, and when he was told no, pouted in the media and threw everyone on said team under the bus. Class is an orgainzation that has kept the numerous skeletons of said prima dona behind those closet doors even when faced with multiple “interviews” given by prima dona player in every news media outlet in the country. Class is also an orgainzation who went with the younger talent in the face of the myopic griping of a small subset of an overrated fanbase.
Classless is an orgainzation who perpetrates whizzinators, love boats, running down meter maids, allows players to squirt refs with water, and picks up overrated hicks from Mississippi from the airport in order to parade said hick around town. Classless is also a poster on a website that posts things like “I thought I hated Favre” and “Packer fans have no class whatsoever.”
Is that clear enough for you?
Why do you ponder passing?

LBPACKFAN
Clinging to something that happened 14 years ago because they have no other ammo to argue with= Packers.
LT’s decision makes sense I guess. The Jets were able to make the NFC Championship game and should be as good if not better next season especially if we assume Sanchez is much improved which would be typical for a 2nd year QB. New York offers more side money options and for all we know the Jets were offering more money in the first place.
And perhaps most importantly is playing time. LT would have an important role focused on 3rd down and short yardage. So his touches would come in high quality situations. However, look it up and you see Chester Taylor had only 8 total touches per game last season. All Day didn’t get his nickname by not being a guy capable of being a workhorse. LT will probably get anywhere from 2 to 3 more touches per game in New York and that is huge for a guy without a ton of time left and who does seem to care about legacy and records and all time lists.
Regardless of what any twits say on these sites AD is an incredibly good back and probably the best in the NFL right now. He lost 2 or 3 more fumbles last season than the average player would with that many touches. But his fumbling rate is pretty similar to Payton, Dickerson, and Jim Brown and most people to this day consider those guys to be the best during their hay day as they should consider Peterson.
LT in Minny means very little action for him unless AD gets hurt.
I for one would have a lot more respect for the guy, HOF stats not withstanding, if he’d just stop jerking everyone around. What do you not know now that you will come training camp? Ahh, training camp; that’s it. I don’t want to go through that at my age and be with my teammates. That is what sickens me about this guy…..
I’m glad he’s coming back, cause I want to see J Pepp terrorize him for two games next season!
I want to see J. Cut terrorize the Bears coaches by tossing the ball haphazardly into the Vikings secondary for two games next season! YAY!
Is anyone really shocked that LT didn’t go to Minny?
Is anyone really thinking Favre wont go back to Minny?
Minny wanted LT for a great back up option but nothing past that. AP needs to become dominant again, end of story
And your point is….Majik? Oh right, you have none…just another baseless babble of “facts” spewn by someone who is scorned by the fact that the great Favre is near the end….and continues to dissapoint year in and year out. You Favre fans are like addicts….take away the crack, and you go nuts. In this case….take away the Favre, and you go nuts.
But I know, I know, you just love to watch him play, he plays with his heart on his sleeve, and like a kid, he would play for free (or $13 million guranteed), he loves the game, he is all about team..and on and on and on.
At least Packer fans have something to cling too…what do you and your Vikings cohorts have to cling to? Hmmm, lets see, the 2011 NFL season being played in LA, check. Whizzonators..check. Love boats…check. A team run by a player…check. No future at the QB position…check. Another collosal meltdown in the playoffs….check

You assume everybody in the NFL “Kornheisers” Farve. Not true. Players that have spent a long time with him don’t all feel that way. As one of his wideouts was heard to say at BF Steakhouse after a few rounds, “Great quarterback, but otherwise he’s an asshole.”
Anyone who doubts Favre is returning should just turn off the TV and internet, put down the paper or magazines and hide till the preseason games.
The media can play stupid and fill the rest of the idiots the “will he or wont he” schtick for the rest.
The guy is coming back, and I’ll bet my house on it if anyone has the sack to take me up on it.

There’s a bit of difference between a guy making minimum wage down at the 7-11 and a guy making 5 million a year. I’d say the guy who makes millions gets a few more votes than the trophy wife.
Are they sure Favre wasn’t trying to persuade LT into retiring?
Favre told the truth about the viklings and Tomlinson immediately went to New York.
Brett off course had a lot better things to say about the Jets.
At least the Jets have won a Super Bowl and a Vince Lombardi trophy.
The vikings are one of 2 NFC teams that have never won a George Halas Trophy.
Tomlinson went where his chance to win was greater.

Well, at least he doesn’t have to worry about that anymore.
Good luck next year. I think (hope) it’s gonna be a little more interesting.
The whole fake telephone conversation bit you idiots do was funny the first 5 or 6 times I saw it, but after the next 9 million times it got really old. It’s embarrassing now. Let it die.
God I sure hope this doesn’t work out like the Houshmandzadeh and Justin Smith situations did. The Vikes had to end up settling for Jared Allen and Percy Harvin when they lost out on those two. That would be horrible. Oh, wait. Nevermind
LT did the Vikings a favor. Classic example of why a player should never influence personnel decisions. Favre probably thinks LT is still in his prime.
Play with Favre the drama queen?……….just one more reason to sign with the Jets!!

Yea the Packers and their fans are the epitome of class… just look how classy they were once Favre left… holding a redneck funeral for a dummy dressed up as Favre… real classy there!
————————–
I suppose they could’ve just bent over, greased their O-rings with vaseline and told Favre to show up in September whenever he feels like it… As the Vikings have.
lol at Packer fans in here saying “I told you so”. Like this report that Brett talked to LT about playing here totally erases all of the awesomeness that was last season, and could be this season as well. The only people that get into the whole “Brett is running your show” crap is haters outside of our own fanbase so wtf do we really care about that logic?
What the article doesn’t mention, is that Pat Williams was there courting him in person. All Day called him as well and talked about it. Brett called him too. It is HIGHLY COMMON for marquee players on a team to be asked to help convince free agents to come here. Just because Brett is involved doesn’t mean that everything is different than normal operating procedure. In fact, the only “story” here is further evidence that Brett is less on the fence about playing than the last few years.
God you guys are idiots. Favre is a fruit cake don’t get me wrong. But he’s a helluva player, helps us win, gets the team a lot of money and attention, and also gives us something to poke fun at poor slacker fans for the rest of our lives. It is nothing but a good thing and your management made this possible and now you have to live with us ribbing you forever. You chumps ain’t getting off the hook this easily, no matter how delusional.
LT is a backup running back that went elsewhere. Don’t let the names involved make you think this was some massive deal. I do think he would have helped the team win and fit in nicely but 8 touches a game wasn’t enough and I don’t blame him. We’ll be fine splitting those touches between Harvin, Young, and likely a drafted RB or Fargas/Westbrooke/???.

__________________________________
You have it turned around. Packer management did indeed make it possible…thank God. But ribbing us…I don’t think so. You see, we have the benefit of knowing the real Favre and you have (unfortunately) only seen him in action for one year. He can never repeat the (unusually motivated) year he had last year. Ten years from now they’ll still be showing his reflective Packer highlites on TV, alongside his Viking failures (by sticking around too long.) If he comes back he will be playing on pure ego, not adrenaline. He shot his wad last year. You know it. We know it. He knows it.
hey packer fans, how about that spencer havner?

You cannot possibly know anything of the sort.
Pure conjecture on your part.
Same things you said last year about him, wasn’t it?
Face it, this is what you hope happens, there is no basis in fact for what you posted.
Go ahead and blame the whole NFCCG loss on Favre, you guys have been doing it for a few years now. But, just remember, Princess then must have lost the WC game, right?
Pick one, either it’s a team game, and you win and lose as a team, or, it’s ALL on the QB, and GayRod is just as much at fault for losing as Favre.
Which is it?
Ambrose
you don’t want favre to come back and beat your asses twice a year again.
Micheal David Smth….why do you bother throwing in a cheap shot at the very source you’re citing? It’s obvious you read the article you claim not to have read. (If you didn’t, your credibility just went out the window condsidering you’re CITING it) Either way, congratulations you just lost yourself a reader.
P.S. If L.T. had to stay in the AFC, Jets is definitely the best case scenario.

It’s a team game. But players should be held accountable for their actions and decisions.
Favre is to blame for three turnovers in the NFC championship, including a horrible pass most high schoolers know better than to throw.
Rodgers is at fault for not seeing a blitzing DB and not getting the ball out quick enough in the situation. I don’t fault him for fumbling. It happens frequently when QBs get sacked. But he should’ve seen the blitzer and gotten rid of the ball. And he shouldn’t have overthrown Jennings on the previous play.

Of course it is speculative and assumptive. That is what all of us do on this site. Right now I would say you’re up on the two wins and we’re up on the predictable nature of Favre blowing it for you. Heading into 2010…Vikings-1, Packers-1.

Honey!!! you out of ALL people should know the answer to this one.
You are hurting my feelings!
ROTFLMAO, chicken–you’re killin me.
Backing up the best RB in football can’t be a lucrative job offer for a future Hall of Famer. With that being said LT is washed up anyways. He will do okay for the Jets behind that O-line with Shonne being so young he can also expect a decent workload.
Thanks rulz!
Super doesn’t shit right for a week after I’m done with him…..
