Bus Cook Denies Favre-Vikes Contract

Word on the street earlier today was that Brett Favre and the Vikings had, GASP, already signed a contract. It was shocking, spicy, etc., and properly panned by Ryan Wilson: it doesn't really matter whether there's a deal in place or not, because at no point in the next six months will we stop talking about Favre.

Seriously, he can even say "I'm retiring 4eva" and it won't matter, because he's said that before. But, it's at least worth mentioning that Mike Florio's scoop was quickly denied this evening by everyone's favorite sports agent, Bus Cook.

Cook told the St. Paul Pioneer-Press via email, "No contract."

Of course, that begs millions of questions, with the first being: "Is that all he wrote in the email?" Because even if he was using a Blackberry or iPhone, surely the response email would have been a little bit longer than that. All snark aside, though, I don't necessarily blame Florio for posting the rumor he heard: everyone does, in fact, know that a Fifth Amendment-styled response usually indicates guilt.

Or in this case, confirmation. But still: Cook, whether he's been right/wrong/whatever -- and regardless of his intentions and motivations, which are clearly client-based -- still has to be considered the second best source (behind the dead horse's mouth) on anything Favre related. So, unless he confirms the deal, it's dead as far as I'm concerned.
