Brett Favre won’t be there Friday when the Vikings open training camp. But as long as Favre shows up two or three weeks before the Vikings’ September 9 regular-season opener, coach Brad Childress thinks that will be just fine.
“Couple three weeks is probably what he needs,” Childress said, per Chip Scoggins of the Star Tribune.
Childress’s time frame would suggest that Favre should probably show up in time to play in the Vikings’ third preseason game, on August 28. Minnesota’s final preseason game is on September 2.
“The fact that you play [the season opener] three days earlier kind of cuts the window,” Childress said. “Usually we go from the fourth preseason game to [having] 10 days out where you get a couple extra works days or rest days or whatever.”
Childress says he still doesn’t know what Favre will do, and that Tarvaris Jackson is scheduled to take most of the snaps with the first-string offense for the time being.
Brett Favre thinks he needs 2-3 hours of camp. So I guess we know where this is headed.
I hate Wisconsin.
Is a “couple of three weeks” kinda like a “pair” of pants?
Chilly’s edumacation is showing up in this thread.
Yeah, right. Childress is only saying this in case Favre struggles out of the gate.
In fact, here is his speech after a miserable Week 5 loss to the winless Jets – “I thought he needed a little more pratice, but I’m not worried, the old gunslinger will prevail…oh, I also plan to tonguejack his ass later this week.”
Favre is a queen

Just wait, you haven’t started to hate yet.
So, there you have it. The coach doesn’t care, the players don’t mind, it’s pretty much been relegated to a non-issue.
Simply let this process run its course and we’ll find out within another month what the decision is going to be. Ain’t no way I’m banking on a guaranteed return from a 41 year old QB – that accepts nothing less than 100 percent from himself physically and mentally – that’s got a shoddy ankle.
If Favre returns, great. If he doesn’t, well, 2010 is going to become a yawner. Couple that with a potential lockout, and that will be enough for the NFL to lose a significant audience – at a time it feels it is the best thing since sliced bread. I love how businesses rise and fall.
“Couple three weeks is probably what he needs..”
BLASPHEMER!!!!!!!!
DO NOT QUESTION THE FAVRE/MESSIAH!
Maybe his receivers need Favre more than he needs them. So much for showing leadership.

He knew there was going to be a slew of criticism of Lord Favre from Packers fans, so he was just bracing for impact. He knows that Lord Favre deserves a lot of criticism and he’s ok with that.
Lord Favre will grace the rest of his peasant teammates with his presence when he deems them worthy to hold his choker cloak.
There will be a royal welcoming and “Brad” will hold the cloak as he feeds him grapes and wine.
ALL HAIL LORD FAVRE!!!

I hate corn on the cob………

What in the world for? i always tell it i’ll see it tomorrow when i eat it.
Everybody knows Favre only needs 3 days … Chilli continues having counting problems … still hasn’t mastered that 11 and 12 thing – so this “couple of three” ramble is understandable.
Note to IHate … just stay on your own side of the Mississippi, homeboy.
Go Saints! (Week 1 at least) .. Go Pack !! Go to Cincinnati T.O. – you and Chad in those uniforms … WoW!!!!
He only thinks that because Favrah hasn’t finished training him yet. Poor Chilly, should have just stayed in Philly in the shade provided by Big Red.
Ted was so “in love” with Rodgers that he had to push Favre out the door to HAND him the starting QB job…
and I heard the quote was….
“Rodgers…i need to come on your back….”
And TEd is doing the same thing to all you Packer fans…He’s f*cking you good, and you pull your pants down and ask, “Thank you Sir, can I have another”….
Favre from Over
Brett will show some leadership and surprise the Vikes and travel with the team for the National Telecast against the 49ers
Louisianna laughs at Wisconsin’s bumpkins…..
Fat Favre will get hurt in the 3rd preseason game.
It’s funny how all Vikings honks think any criticism of Favre come ONLY from Packers fans.
Memo to loser nation……everyone across this great country is sick of Favre, and even more tired of the excuse laden tirades of Vikngs fans. get over yourself Viking fans……..
The double standard in Minny has already created a schism…..get ready for an implosion Vikings fans…..of course your used to that by now.
Why do you ponder passing?
I reckon he will continue to wear me as he rides around on his tractor.
Let’s get back to why the Lombardi Trophy should be renamed the the Bill Belichick Trophy..
Aaron Rodgers will tear him his ACL this season and will be done…..
Childo is pretty ballsy putting staking his season on a 41 year old QB with a bum ankle who thinks that training camp is for rookies. If Princess Favre does decide to hang it up for good, the Queens will be in a dogfight with the Lions for last place in the division, and likely being awarded an all-expenses paid trip to sunny L.A.
I don’t care how old a player is or how much one has done. You are under contract. You go to camp.

Is that right!? Really? The Vikings went into the playoffs 2 years ago with Tarvaris Jackson at the helm. Please!
The receivers (Rice, Percy, BB and Shank) should take a quick trip down to Miss together this week just to catch a few balls from Brett. Don’t ask nothin about comin back, just catch some balls like the high school kids do. That would blow Bretts’ mind, he’d come back, if there was any doubt and would be TURNED ON. It would take team chemisty through the roof. Jerry Kramer always said that the players on Lombardis’ great teams loved each other and that made all the difference
sweet! keep him on EXACTLY the same schedule he was on last season when he finished with the 2nd highest qb rating in the league, finished 3rd in mvp voting…
and ripped out the hearts and all hope for the future from every last one of the thousands of chubby packer fans in wisconsin, and both of the thin packer fans in wisconsin.
it’s mean and almost sadistic of pft to keep posting stories about favre’s return, knowing that each story is just pouring salt onto the open wound of packer fans who have been in agony since the day favre came out of retirement and coincidentally the packers started fighting for second place in the division.
but on the other hand, packer fans are kinda masochistic since they all claim to love the pain that ted thompson inflicts on them year after year (2 winning seasons, 1 playoff win, and 1 pro bowl free agent signing after 5 years of ted.)

Thankyou!!! So….are you old,fat,stupid,ugly or gay?Pack fans always have a few of those traits from years of inbreeding…..
….and Brett Favre couldn’t care less what ‘Chilly’ thinks. In this way, Brett Favre is like almost everyone else on the planet……

Uh huh…..that’s why it’s the subject that gets more responses than any other…because it is a non-issue. More self-delusion doesn’t fix your problem.

Should his name be misspelled on the plaque too? Is that part of your grand attention-grabbing plan? I’m sure the NFL is tripping over itself on this idea, it’s so good. You should focus on the things you know best…homosexuality and fishing…and not necessarily exclusive of each other.
Wrong. Ted Thompson has clearly taught us that if Favre comes to the team late it will tear the team apart and he will suck.
Stupid Vikings.
@ Ambrosy Palm-what bad spelling idiot? You are right,stick to the things i know best….fishing and your old ladies fetishes….
