So the whole Brett Favre issue has dominated the sports headlines for the last three weeks, and for the most part Walker-Sports has tried to avoid the entire situation, partially because it was a difficult issue for us to talk on and partially because we were just sick of the story.

Tarvaris Jackson finally had to say something about all the rumors that Brett Favre was coming to take away his job. He's apparently become a fatalist about that sort of thing:
Every time a quarterback comes up, they throw Minnesota in there.
You know me. If it happens, it happens. I can't control it, but I don't worry about it. All I can do is handle my business.
