AND TAKE BRETT FAVRE WITH YOU!!!

Classic! Signing Favre is the nail in the coffin for the Vikes. They will not win the division w/ unless he can stop being Favrerere and rely on Peterson. He’ll up his INT record some more, get voted by popularity to the pro bowl and then retire again leaving the Vikes out in the cold too. What a joke. He’ll get hammered into retirng and then we won’t have to hear about it anymore.

1. No not really and Lovie’s had Brett’s number since he came on board. I think it makes the Vikes better, but not THAT much better. He’s too prone to mistakes.
2. Not really and rumors have been flying for weeks over the prima donna. People like stirring the pot and you know Brett’s loving every media grabbing minute of it.
3. Probably, with Stafford being the big question mark but the NFC east is pretty strong as well depending on the good Romo/bad Romo.

On a side note I love the drama this will bring to the queens and the pack. I hope the media storm creates a poor atmosphere that carries through training camp and well into the season.

he’d just sign already and get this nonsense over with. He makes the Vikes “slightly” better than TJack or Rosencoptor, but he’ll mess it up by the end of the year. His body can’t take the 16 game grind anymore. I said this before, and I’ll say it again; I hope his career ends on the Metrodome (aka rollerdome) turf by a blitzing Urlacher/Briggs.

What IS the cardiac threat to young athletes? And can you expand on the message of Sean Taylor? I’m sure glad Brett finally feels at home cause that’s an even bigger insult to Green Bay than it was to Bears fans to call Soldier Field “Lambeau South”. God I truly hate Brett Favre….

First, we have Cutler fake an injury during practice. We tell Favre we want to sign him, which gives him the revenge he wants by getting to play GB twice, and he doesn’t have to play in a dome where he almost always sucks. Even worse than usual. We then tell him that he is so good, we don’t expect him to show up to camp. Or to practice. He will not be the least bit suspicious, because he’s a pompous ass and really thinks he is that good. Then as the season begins, we tell him that Jay miraculously recovered, that he’s worse than Hanie, and we make him our third string QB. We also explain to him how ridiculous his name is and make him wear a jersey with “FARVE” on the back. When he starts shooting his mouth off, we send him out with Olin until he “falls down the stairs,” ala Fred Miller. Then we put him on IR, bring back Basanez (I guess), and #4 fades into oblivion.

The only concerns or thoughts that the Bears should have w/regards to Favre is in the two weeks leading up to the games where we would play against him. What he does as a Viking the rest of the season is out of the Bears’ hands and really shouldn’t matter. If the Bears take care of their own business with the team they have now, then we’ll be in the playoffs regardless of how well Brett performs.

Favre has performed significantly worse in the last quarter of the season for the past five years. Minnesota may play in a dome, but the Bears play the Vikings twice in the last five weeks, including along the lake at Soldier Field on December 28. I’ll take the 26 year-old Jay Cutler, fresh from the mile-high Rocky Mountain winters, over Favre in that game. Heck, we saw Kyle Orton out-play Favre and Drew Brees in late December Chicago weather recently.

Brett Favre is our best bet to keep the ball out of Adrian Peterson’s hands, and the circus he’ll bring to the Vikings will set them back several years. How can they possibly exhibit believable confidence in Tarvaris Jackson going forward, when they’re so willing to wait for Favre’s last year or two? And beyond that, who do they have behind center?

For a franchise with a history of Tarkenton, Kramer, Cunningham, and Culpepper at the position, they’ve deteriorated into old Chicago-style situation at quarterback.

Your disrespect for the AFC South axis of Manning / Grossman / Two guys from the local YMCA is duly noted :)

I don’t know. I like Stafford, but I think Favre is done (or on steroids, but FOOTBALL PLAYERS DON’T TAKE STEROIDS DON’T YOU WATCH ESPN?!), but what are the other divisions offering?

Warner / Hasselbeck / Rams QB / Shaun Hill (TERP!) is up there, obviously :)

Favre will help them win a few tight games but he will also play poorly in some they were supposed to win. I can see a little power struggle brewing between him and AP for star power. Favre’s agenda is to punish the packers and not necessarily win the super bowl (although doing that would be a pretty good job). The good news is this will be a major disruption to the future of the QB position in Minnesota which they may not recover from. Any chance of them having Jackson develop will now be done and he will probably be gone. If Favre has a poor year they are even worse of at the position because Jackson did show some promise at times and this will be the end of him. Back at square one next year with everyone getting a little older.

So, everyone seems to think that Brett Favre wants to punish the Packers. Did I miss something? Has he said he doesn’t like them? I guess I didn’t even realize that he left on bad terms – but obviously that’s not saying much because I don’t always stay up to date on other teams, I’m still focusing on Chicago. But … yeah. What’s up with him hating the Packers now? Because they wouldn’t take him back after un-retiring? Or is it speculation?
