EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- The latest word from Brett Favre was about lawn care.
So much for deciding about next season.
The Minnesota Vikings are still waiting for an announcement from the quarterback about whether he will be back, although coach Brad Childress has been in regular communication with him.
Childress said he spoke with Favre on Monday, when the 40-year-old grandfather told him he was "spraying weeds" at his home in Mississippi.
"I didn't ask if was DDT, RID or whatever they spray weeds with down there," Childress quipped. "He seems to be doing well."
Childress added that he followed up their conversation by sending Favre a cell phone picture of the practice fields outside Vikings headquarters to show off the recent sunny weather in Minnesota.
"It's so green and warm here that you almost think you're next to the equator," Childress said.
Then on Tuesday, Childress said he sent a text message to Favre after learning the Vikings are scheduled to open the season Sept. 9 in New Orleans in an NFC Championship Game rematch with the Saints.
Might that be extra motivation for Favre to return and avenge that defeat?
"There's no sense in killing an ant with a sledgehammer. I think he'll be able to connect the dots," Childress said.
