    Below is from NJ.com...WHAT? Can this be true, Vikes owner at the same airport that Favre is scheduled to land at?

    Waiting on Favre in Morristown
    by Star-Ledger Staff Thursday August 07, 2008, 1:19 PM
    Star-Ledger reporter Brendan Prunty is in Morristown, and he isn't alone.

    A plane carrying Brett Favre is supposed to land in New Jersey sometime soon, and he will be greeted by members of the media -- as if Favre's every move (good, bad or indifferent) hasn't been completely documented for the past month -- and a small contingent of fans.

    To this point, one Favre jersey has been spotted.

    And for some probably completely unrelated reason, another plane is on the tarmac: one with a Minnesota Vikings' logo. Vikings' owner Zigy Wilf lives in New Jersey, but the positioning of his plane is strange considering Minnesota was Favre's preferred destination when this whole mess started. Almost definitely means near to nothing.

    More to come.

    First off, If the Jets trade Brett to Minny they have to give up 3 1st rd picks.

    The plane could be there for Chad

    WTF? I'm sure it's nothing, but this is just strange timing.

    Wow.. Well they have that stipulation in the trade agreement where the Jets would have to give 3 First round pics to Green Bay if they traded him to Minnesota. So It must be nothing? Unless another team was involved lol.

    It would be hillarious if they traded him to another team and that team traded him to the Vikqueens lol

    Wow imagine Brett gets off the plane as the Vikes plane rolls closeby, then out of a building on the tarmac walks Pennington, and the 2 have to walk past eachother.

    Won't happen, but it would be interesting.

    Do you really think Chad went back to NJ? I doubt they are there to get Chad but I would flip if that's what it was. I'm sure we won't let go of Favre. That's just child talk.

    The Jets sent a private Jet to Cleveland for him.

    I didn't know we sent a trade to get a player we aren't keeping. That seems weird to me.

    He was in Cleveland. Out of respect, they sent a private Jet to bring him home.

    No way anyone trades even 1 first rounder for Favre. Unless the Jets win the Superbowl. That however is a good way to part with a firsty.

    Keep in mind, the First rounder is traded if the Jets 'reach' the SB. Not win it. However, reaching would still be an achievement and I wouldnt mind giving the first and then taking a shot at the SB against the Cowboys while Romo fumbles at the 4 yard line.

    You guys are crazy if you really believe anything like Favre getting traded to the vikes is going to happen. Aside from the 3 first rounder issue ...

    Do you think the FO would have made the announcement they did?

    Do you think they would have cut Chad?
