Favre talking to Vikings...here we go again
« on: May 05, 2009, 05:04:10 PM »
I have been as big a Brett fan as there has been, but this is just getting sad. As a Packer fan, I say please let it happen...Packers would be 2-0 before the season even starts. Absolutely nothing to be concerned about here. The only one hurt by this would be Favre and his already tarnished legacy (Unless of course you count the Vikings.). A year or two ago, I would have cared about his legacy, but no more. If the guy wants to go down in flames, and turn himself into a joke, so be it.

so you are saying that they would be worse off with farve than they are with traveris jackson?  Farve is still good in warm weather.  His ability to deal with cold has fallen off over the years, no reason to think that he can't play in a dome.

I want him to come back because since he's ruined his legacy i haven't recieved any factually incorrect emails about his greatness from packer fans.  Suck it packer fans, your hero is a back stabbing jerk!

Doesn't Favre really struggle in the Metrodome? I'm sure it will be different with it being your home stadium, but he does struggle in most domes.

Laughing my ass off at this entire thing, I have to tell you.  I had to go through this with Aikman.  I was not happy about him talking to other teams but then when he decided to hang it up and go out reasonably together, it helped.  Of course we've sucked butt since then and Romo is just Favre jr as far as I'm concerned (makes great plays and really bonehead ones).

For the record, I like Brett a lot but knowing the Green Bay fans fragile psyche at play, I have to laugh my butt off at this.

This is starting to become the football version of Michael Jordan/Scottie Pippen/Phil Jackson vs. Jerry Krause of the Bulls dynasty.  

I think this is a done deal.  Favre so badly wants to stick it to Ted Thompson.  What better way to do that than go play for a division rival?

It's pretty funny... the Packers are disgusting, but this would be good for laughs, to upset Packers 'people' and who knows - maybe it's enough to push us into the Super Bowl - we are not far.  Sage can get us there if Fav-ray can't.

This Packer fan believes that Sage Rosenfels is a better option for the Vikings at QB than Brett Favre is.  I'm serious about this.  Favre has fallen apart the last couple of years toward the end, and not just because of cold weather.  It's because he's old.  He had just as much trouble at the end of last year when the Jets were playing on the road in warm weather.  He's done.

He'll try to do too much.  The coaches will have him thowing the ball all over the place, when their best option is to hand the ball to Peterson 30+ times a day.  I mean, they lost games last year because they had Jackson throw the ball too much.  What do you think that coaching staff will do with Favre?

Please please please please.

This is like Indiana playing Wisconsin. You're just delighted that at least one of them is going to (at least pathologically) lose out.

  Not a chance.  I would wear a #4 jersey that said, "Farve" though.

why would wear a misspelled "Farve" jersey instead of correctly spelled "Favre"?
But I like to throw handfuls...

Yes. No doubt in my mind. Favre obviously has experience and all that stuff on his side, but he is old, injured, self centered, and motivated by spite. He will be a determent to that team, not an asset. If you are looking strictly at ability, yes, you take Favre over Jackson, when you factor in age, health, motives -- everything, this thing would be a nightmare for teh Vikings and an absolute dream for the Packers and Bears.

In the end, I suspect the Vikings will be smart enough to see him for what he has become, and not to go down this road, so its probably all moot.

I am a Packer fan and I would wear a purple #4 jersey that says "Judas" on the back.

I would like to use a creative metaphor to describe the situation from a Packer perspective...

So two people are married for a long time, and like any solid marriage, lots of ups, and a few downs.  Well finally after threatening a divorce like 4 times (that both parties know is coming), the husband (Packers and Ted Thompson), send the bitch (Favre) packing.

The husband gets a new girlfriend with a lot of potential, and really doesn't pay attention all that much that his wife has moved on too, but keeping a watchful and interested eye.  As time goes on, the husband has completely forgotten about his wife, because of his new new dime piece (Aaron Rodgers). 

Now the ex-wife, like the tramp she is, is interested in the a-hole (Vikes) down the street.  This douche is like an annoying knat in your life, and has a bunch of retarded kids (Harvin, Mckinnie, Sharper...), but realy he sucks at life and always chokes at whatever he does.

As the husband, everyone (ESPN and dumb Bear fans), thinks you are all pissed that your ex-wife is getting with this neighbor.  Really, nothing could be further from the truth, and when this fling is over with you will always have great memories of your ex, and wish her the best.
