Vikings decline to talk about Favre
MINNEAPOLIS AP The Minnesota Vikings declined Thursday to talk about allegations by the Green Bay Packers that they made inappropriate contact with quarterback Brett Favre. Vikings spokesman Bob Hagan issued a two sentence statement on Thursday. It said the Vikings are not commenting on the issue. These types of matters are handled by the league. A person familiar with the Packers complaint told The Associated Press Wednesday night that Green Bay has filed tampering charges against the Vikings. The person who spoke anonymously said Packers officials believe Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell had discussions with Favre that would violate league rules. Presumably such discussions would include the possibility of Favre leaving the Packers for their NFC North rivals in Minnesota. They feel like Favre had something and that's why he was so anxious to get his release all of a sudden.
