| p>GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -Brett Favre remains supremely confident in his right arm. He isn't beaten up too badly for a 15-year veteran, and he says he still loves football. So why, then, is there a chance that the Green Bay Packers' game against the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night might be Favre's finale at Lambeau Field? ``People say, 'It still looks like you're having fun,''' Favre said. ``The games themselves are fun and winning is fun.'' But the meetings and practices aren't as fun, especially when t |

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -When he drafted Tarvaris Jackson out of Alabama State in April, Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress called him ``a piece of clay'' that needed to be molded into a starting quarterback. Eight months later - and a lot sooner than expected considering the playoffs are still a possibility for the Vikings (6-8) - Childress is throwing Jackson into the kiln at Lambeau Field. It's Tarvaris Time in Minnesota. Childress announced Tuesday that Jackson will start the final two games of |

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -There's a part of Tarvaris Jackson that was thrilled to see the first extensive action of his career for the Minnesota Vikings, a part that can't wait to get out there and do it again. The rookie quarterback sprinted onto the field when he got the call late in the third quarter of a 26-13 loss to the Jets on Sunday and delighted in throwing his first career touchdown pass later in the game. ``I haven't played in a meaningful game, really, since college,'' Jackson said with a smil |
