Vikings Decline Comments On Favre-Tampering Charges

MINNEAPOLIS - The Minnesota Vikings took a different stance on Thursday in what has become the story of the summer in the NFL: They decided NOT to talk about Brett Favre.
The Vikings said Thursday they would not comment on allegations by the Green Bay Packers that they made inappropriate contact with Favre before or during the three-time MVP's effort to un-retire.
''The Vikings are not commenting on the issue. These types of matters are handled by the league,'' said a statement read by a team spokesman.
The Favre saga has overridden everything else going on in the NFL, turning the NFL off-season into a one-story league. Another chapter was added Wednesday night when a person familiar with the Packers' complaint told The Associated Press that Green Bay has filed tampering charges against the Vikings.

Brett Favre as a Minnesota Viking? It’s really too bad, folks, but this story and this issue is getting completely out of hand. Please pass the remote, will you?
