What if Brett Favre comes to Vikings training camp in Mankato?
“It’s just kind of my general opinion that if Brett Favre comes to town that there’s not enough restaurants, bars and hotel rooms just to take care of the media that’s coming to town,” said Jon Mueller, owner of Johnny B’s restaurant, which is just across the street from camp.
And while the 16-year Packers quarterback hasn’t signed with the Vikings, Mueller is confident he’ll show up in Mankato when training camp starts July 31.
“We’re moving ahead as if he were already signed,” he said.
On June 15, Favre told an HBO talk show host that he’s considering playing with the Vikings. At the time, he said he’d had surgery on his throwing arm about 2-1⁄2 weeks prior, and that it takes four or five weeks to determine if the surgery is successful.
He has not spoken publicly since then, but that hasn’t stopped the speculation, especially in Mankato.
The Vikings and the constellation of groups that work with them to help run training camp at Minnesota State University aren’t comfortable talking about “what-if” scenarios involving Brett Favre.
