MINNEAPOLIS - The Vikings took a different stance yesterday in what has become the story of the summer in the NFL: They decided not to talk about Brett Favre.
The Vikings said they would not comment on allegations by the Packers that they made inappropriate contact with Favre before or during his effort to un-retire.
"The Vikings are not commenting on the issue. These types of matters are handled by the league," said a statement read by a team spokesman.
Another chapter was added to the Favre saga Wednesday night when a person familiar with the Packers' complaint told the Associated Press that Green Bay had filed tampering charges against the Vikings. The person, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject, said Packers officials believe Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell had discussions with Favre that would violate league rules.
