Minnesota Vikings guard Steve Hutchinson, defensive end Jared Allen and place-kicker Ryan Longwell are in Hattiesburg, Miss., on Tuesday to get an answer from Brett Favre on his playing status for the 2010 season, a source told ESPN.
Seifert: Panic Button
With the news that three prominent Vikings are in Hattiesburg to talk with Brett Favre, it's safe to say Minnesota is in panic mode, Kevin Seifert writes. Blog
The players -- three of Favre's closest confidants on the team last season -- were not at practice or morning meetings Tuesday, ESPN has confirmed. The envoy was first reported by the Star Tribune.
It was one year ago Wednesday, Aug. 18, that Favre reported to the Vikings last season.
Favre told ESPN's Ed Werder earlier this month that he will play this season if healthy. The quarterback, who had ankle surgery in May, met with Dr. James Andrews last week to try to determine why the ankle is still bothering him.
Favre has waffled on retiring every summer since 2002. It led to an ugly parting with the Packers that got him traded from Green Bay to the Jets in 2008. After a so-so season in New York, he announced his retirement in early 2009 for the second time, then reconsidered and signed with the Vikings.

Quicly becoming one of the most annoying situations ever. He may be the greatest, but all these press conferences, secret flights, players begging you back, millions thrown at ya.....i mean, come on.........i'm liking this guy les and less each day.
His EGO is keeping him in the game
His EGO is keeping him in the game
The NFL and Goodell knew what was going on months ago...Look at who is playing in the opener.....coincidentally look who is scheduled to play this weeks NBC Sunday night exhibition football game. Even if he doesn't take a snap it makes more of an audience with the sideline interviews and reports.
