The Vikings aren’t showing any public impatience with the NFL’s all-time leading passer, even though Favre’s annual waffling over his retirement continues to cloud preparations for the season. Training camp starts in seven weeks.
“You have it lingering over your head, all day every day,” tight end Visanthe Shiancoe(notes) said. “Every time you turn on the TV, you see Favre, or you see something about Favre, or you see something about his shoulder, or you see him working out at the high school.
“You want to know what’s going on, but at the same time that’s something that we can’t control so we leave it alone,” Shiancoe said.
Even the uncertainty at quarterback—will it be Tarvaris Jackson(notes), Sage Rosenfels(notes) or Favre?—isn’t enough to get coach Brad Childress to declare an end to the will-he-or-won’t-he dance that’s gone on for weeks.
