Door Is Closed on Favre

Gregg Rosenthal (Pro Football Talk) reports (via Judd Zulgad’s Twitter) that Minnesota Vikings’ coach Brad Childress would not resume talks with free-agent quarterback Brett Favre.  “There is not a chance from my standpoint,” Childress told Judd Zulgad, who first had the news of Favre staying retired Tuesday.

So it’s Tarvaris Jackson vs. Sage Rosenfels (vs. John David Booty?) for the starting quarterback job.

Childress said he “owed it” to the organization to pursue Favre, but is “content” with his current quarterback situation.  So even though Favre will reportedly “still work out and throw the ball”, he won’t be playing for the Vikings this year.

If anything, Favre’s making himself available in case Aaron Rodgers gets injured?  This is pure speculation, but it makes sense.  The Packers have zero depth in their quarterback position, as far as NFL playing time.

So I guess our song makes zero sense, with it’s reference to Favre.  Hopefully receiver Percy Harvin still becomes the rookie of the year.

By the way, Rosenfels is happy the Favre-talk is over. Duh.
