Trying to do this on my phone, so I apologize in advance for any sloppiness.*

First off, no offense taken. Not having a clue is often how Grace describes me. I didn't take it as a personal shot but rather thought I may have touched a nerve based on the response. If Volusianator and Favre are buds, I can understand his jumping to #4s defense. *I am just as prone to sometimes blindly defending my friends even when the situation may not be fully warranted.*

I do not know Brett Favre. I am not in a position to have first-hand knowledge of his motivations and interactions with any of his four NFL teams. *In that sense, I suppose I don't have a clue.*

I do know what my eyeballs tell me though. *And my eyeballs tell me Favre is a me-first player who's agenda begins and ends with Brett Favre. *Does he have a passion for the game? *Probably, but it's not mutually exclusive of his narcissitic personality. Favre's all about winning? *Maybe. *So long as he's the reason for the winning. My eyeballs tell me he wants to be throwing the football and scoring on spectular, improvised plays. *He does not, for example, want to hand the ball off to AP 25 times a game - even if that gives the TEAM the best shot at winning. *There are guys who crave the ball in their hand with the game on the line. I believe Favre is one of those guys. But I also believe he consistently puts his team in the position where he needs to "lead" them back because he doesn't play smart: *he plays for the greater glory of Brett Favre.

I used to respect the guy. I used to buy the whole aw-shucks, gunslinger personnae. But after riding a river of crocodile tears out of Green Bay followed by the pathetic is he or isn't he retirement charades the last few years, I've changed my opinion of the guy. I stand by my assertion that he is a dream killer, and any title chances the Vikes have rest more in the legs of AP than the arm of #4. *Were it not for a guy named Desmond Howard, we'd talk about Favre being the greatest QB never to have won anything.*

I don't know what the hell caused all the asterisks in my post above. :(

I want to have Brett Farve's baby. Even if it's a little awkward.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

I don't know either, but I was looking for the footnotes

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

I was looking for the footnotes as well! :r

We all have the right to our opinions, and at the end of the day, all that matters is that we enjoyed our cigars.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Hey there Sugartits, last I checked we are 4-1 and the Pack is 3-2. :D

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Hehe. Sugartits. :r

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

If "we" is the Bears, then yeah, the statement I was quoting was that with the Vikings playing so poorly, there's only two teams in the division to offer competition to the Bears. I was saying the Packers and who else, God knows the Lions are no threat. Then again, with all the injuries to the Packers, we're probably not much either.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Out of sheer pity I cheered when the Lions won this week. Of course I'd already smoked three cigars and had about four whiskeys by then so I may have actually been rooting for the drywall for all I know.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

OK, that seriously made me laugh out loud.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Whoa there. Now you have my attention as well.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Helloooooooooooo, Susan :banger

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Well after last night and watching him hobble off the field I'd say we are a bit closer to the end-o-Favre Fest.

Did anybody catch the fake SNL commercial this weekend with Brett Favre for Wrangler No Fly Jeans? It was hilarious.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

OpenFlyJeans ;)

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

and I will post and give Tom and the other Mods fits.

It's the Circle of LIfe, :noon

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Well, conveniently enough for you it seems he's sending pictures of his equipment to people, so now seems the time to apply for consideration.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Vikings coach Brad Childress says that Favre has a fracture in his left ankle that may keep him out of next game. So who knows.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Makes sense why he fell over in the pocket. Wonder if it went out then or when they sacked him in the previous play. All I know is that he went down faster than my libido when I think of a man wearing nothing but Crocs while sending dick pics.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Just for my own information, what is the approriate attire when sending a woman pics of my junk? You know in case I ever do such a thing.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

OK, that was freakin' hilarious!

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

I don't think it matters at this point. We're officially a long shot to even make the playoffs. Between Favre's flashback when he started throwing to green jerseys, Childress blowing the chance to challenge the Pack's first TD, and the BS call reversing Shiancoe's TD, last night pretty much killed us. :rolleyes:

I think the injury happened on the play he threw the pick to Hawk.

As for the season...it might be done, but after the game next weekend, the schedule gets much more favorable. I think they should have fired Chilly a couple years back. He's NOT a good head coach. Why the hell do you take a knee at the end of the first half with 2 timeouts left? Why don't you have someone in the booth watching the replays and tell you to throw the flag on Quarless "td".

I'm a terminal Vikings fan, and will continue to have my heart broken by them every year. I was disappointed by Chillys first season that we gave up our season tickets. The product he put on the field was not worth it. Fire him and bring in a PROVEN winner.

Except, along with needing a coach, we're right back where we were two years ago before this whole Favre mess. And now we also need an O-line, a couple of outside LBs and a few DBs while we're at it.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Real. Comfortable. Jeans.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

O-line = yes

OLBs...Greenway is an OLB, and it seems like Lieber has disappeared the last couple games, but has been a SOLID player.

DBs = If they could keep them all healthy, they'd be fine, I think.

As I've said all along, the only way the Favavervarvearvervarevravervve experiment is worth it is if they bring the hardware home...doesn't look like it was worth it at all.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Favre was quoted to say he is commited to the team so I think theres that question.

As for if it was worth it? I think so, T-jack won't be any good (IMO) and at least it gave us some good entertainment..

Besides, they should have beat the packers, the refs blew that one.. The NFL has even appologized.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

I really don't think our O-line is that far off. We need Loadholt to pick up his game. He's not bad, but needs to get better. Sullivan back at center will help, and the left side of the line is fine, I think.

OLB's I agree, they are not the problem.
DB's again I agree, health is the issue. Cook looked terrible against the packers. His replacement, Walker, looked serviceable.

Coaching= the problem with this team right now. Out coached terribly on Sunday night.

Refs? What are you going to do. They blew it on the Shiancoe td/incompletion.

Bottom line is we have been in every game, we haven't played our best, and with the division being like it is, we could still make a run. Losing Favre, could hurt, especially since we traded away our best backup QB.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

A banana, a snorkel, and a baked potato.

Which, true and strange story, is also the same answer I once gave Jim McMahon when asked what I was wearing.:sh

Speaking of broken up QB's that Giants Defense has been eating em up lately like a Fat Kid at a pizza buffet. Tony Romo went down screaming for a new clavicle last night too. They took out my QB and my backup QB (Bears) a few weeks back too. GIANTS HUNGRRRRRYYYYYY.... :su

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Do they allow walkers in the NFL?

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

You can't throw out a story teaser like that then go back to talking football.

We can't stop a simple pass rush, let alone a blitz. Every time Favre drops back to pass he gets mugged. It's been that way since the end of last season.
Admittedly, Walker looked better than he did against the Cowboys. But mainly it seems to be Winfield and Williams making plays. We never should have let Sharper go.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Lol. Jim McMahon and I have a close mutual friend that used to live here in Ft. Worth. Two years ago on Valentines Day he was in town for the Davey O'Brien awards and I was late getting to the restaurant to meet the group. They decided it would be fun, after many cocktails, to prank call me and have Jim ask me "So what ya wearing?" For some inexplicable reason my first answer was "a banana, a snorkel, and a baked potato." I managed to make him totally speechless for about five seconds, which for him may be a record. :)

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

That IS a great story.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

I'm afraid to ask where I'm supposed to put the banana........:noon:noon:noon

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

LMAO! :r :r

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Those odds have to be even money at best now.

I would think Frazier would ask him to go so he can a serious look at Jackson at QB.

With all the lockout talk with teams unlikely to drop big money on a new head coach, it seems likely that Frazier will have a good shot of getting the job for next year too as it just makes good business sense to cut ties with Farve now.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Frazier was going to be hired as a head coach next year, somewhere. I'm glad that we have a good chance at keeping him here. :)

As for Favrevarvervarevraveare...well, he'll keep starting, but I don't know that he'll play the entire game, every game. He may be given token starts with Jackson seeing significant time. Honestly, that depends on how they come out the next game or 2, and the results of those games.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Farve will keep playing as long as teams will pay for him. Do you blame him? Heck, he could be a back up QB and play 5-7 more years no problem.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

I will see your "who cares", and raise you an "I don't give a ****". ;) :r

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

:r

I think he should keep playing. The more he plays the more wins the other teams will get.

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Wish he hadn't played against the Packers Sunday. :r

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Well, the Packers blew out the Cowboys. Bye bye Wade.

Then the Vikings. See you, Brad.

Next up, Lovie????

:)

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Nah, Lovie has won just enough games this year not to get the boot:r

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

We shall see...I don't have enough confidence in the Bears to trash talk, Tim...but I ain't counting them out, either. ;)

Re: So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?
 

Marvin Lewis needs to go (but I have been saying that for at least 3 years now).
