EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings have signed three-time NFL MVP Brett Favre, the team announced on its website Tuesday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"We believe adding a player such as Brett Favre to our mix will be a strong positive for this football team," Vikings coach Brad Childress said. "As we have conveyed before, his unique knowledge of our system, the NFC North and his innate skills make this a rare opportunity. We felt there was a brief window to reconsider the possibility and we owed it to the organization to evaluate our options. After thorough discussion, the same variables that made this a unique and positive situation previously, still exist. Now, our attention turns to getting to work as a team, our next practice and preparing for the season."

Entering his 19th year in the NFL, Favre has started 269 consecutive games (291 including playoffs) for the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets, the longest stretch ever by an NFL quarterback and the second-longest streak in NFL history, behind only former Minnesota Viking Jim Marshall (270). The 10-time Pro Bowler holds every significant NFL career passing record and is the league's all-time leader in touchdown passes (464), completions (5,720), attempts (9,280), yards (65,127) and victories as a starting QB (169).

"I am excited about the opportunity to join this football team," Favre said. "From ownership, to coaching to the players, it is evident that everyone in the Vikings organization is committed to bringing the fans of Minnesota a Championship. I am eager to join my new teammates and get to work towards that goal."

In 2008, Favre earned his 10th career Pro Bowl berth as he completed 343-of-522 passes (65.7%) for 3,472 yards and 22 touchdowns with the Jets. He was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week twice in the month of September and set a career-high with six TD passes in a win against the eventual NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals.

Prior to his one-year stint with the Jets, Favre played 16 seasons in Green Bay, leading the Packers to seven division championships, four NFC Championship games, two Super Bowl appearances and one Super Bowl victory. During that time he was named the NFL's MVP for three consecutive seasons from 1995-97.

I don't know what's worse: Favre's 12th comeback or this thread title.

I can't wait until the BREAKING NEWS as all of Wisconsin turns out in Green Bay and there's a massive Jonestown style mass grave in Lambeau Field over this news. It'll go down in history as Favrestown.

It's like we've got our own Ralph Wiggum.

Hey now- let's not impugn the intelligence of Ralph Wiggum that way.

As for Favre... this really says it all.

This thread disappoints, in that there is no reference to Dutch people. Dutch people will understand what I mean.

Michael Jordan was one of the best wingmen in basketball at 40-years-old. And unlike Favre, when he retired, he actually stayed retired for more than an off-season.

He most certainly was not.

It's amazing how he went from a respected retired player, that we pitied because he didn't get that Superbowl ring, to a fucking laughing joke of a cockbag.

He's going to retire again and then un-retire as a College Football player.

They call that the Greg Paulus route.

Or Chris Weinke, whichever you prefer.

Tarvaris Jackson should be honored by his new role on the team: getting to push around Brett Favre's wheelchair and changing his old man diapers.

Is he even wearing that uniform? The arms look all fucked up.

It's a photoshop. You can still see the subtle yellow glow on his wristbands from his Packers pants.
