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

[Bunker]

Minny is now 1-3, Farve looks like his December worst already, and now there are pictures of him holding his hog circulating the net with a potential suspension looming.

Randy Moss or not, I don't see him finishing this year.

[massphatness]

I see rainbows to Moss as why he DOES finish the year. The self-absorbed, narcissist cares only about the TDs he throws and seemingly not at all about the picks. The national media reverentially refers to him as a "gunslinger" -- a more apt moniker would be "dream killer".

When my wife found the pictures online, "I didn't know Farve was Irish"

Between the dope smoker and the octogenarian I don't really care if they become the LA Drag Queens.
The Vikings are perennial annoyances to any fans that have hope they will ever hold the Lombardi, and they never will.

[shilala]

If Farve sits down, what's the Vikes option? Byron Leftwich?
The Vikings organization is committed to spending big money to win, or at least to put asses in seats.
Do I think Farve/Moss is the answer? I don't think anyone does. Brett went 60 yards downfield to Moss last night, and that's likely the longest ball he's gonna throw for the rest of his life.
You can't "buy" a football team, you gotta build one. If the Vikes spent all that money on building a club, chasing some young studs and making some smart moves, they'd be truly dangerous.
Farve wants to play ball, and someone wants to pay him 26 million to do it this year. I don't see him sitting down unless he gets busted in half.

I didn't see much of last nights game, but the parts i did see it doesn't look like Farve can throw the deep ball to Moss to make him affective. 5 shots into his ankle already? I think that he's done!!! Now I don't know what the "shots" are that he's getting but being in the medical field, that can't be good!!!!!

Most likely cortisone, I have had several in my elbows and shoulders over the last few years. They are just a band-aid that wears off in a couple of months.

If he's upright...he'll finish the year. He's had injuries every season in the league, it seems. There was the one year he played with a broken thumb on his throwing hand. His year with the Jets playing about half a year with a torn tendon in his throwing arm.

Honestly, the biggest obstacle for this team is the head coach. I've been saying this for Chili's entire tenure here. I don't see him as having what it takes to be able to bring a team to the promised land. Look at how they started the game last night. That HAS to be the most unprepared I have ever seen a team coming out of a bye week to a big game (or any game, honestly). THAT, my friends, is on the coaching staff. They seemed completely unprepared to come out and play. That had nothing to do with Donglegate or the addition of Moss to the Vikes. I'm of the opinion that they did well last year despite Childress, not because of him. He's generally a horrible coach at making adjustments, and gets outcoached on a regular basis, IMO.

As for Faereeevervarvervarveravrevravervarve and his ankle, it's not 100%. How could it be at his age, with the beating he's taken over the years. The injections are not a painkiller, but a series of lubricant injections to help keep what little range of motion he has left. What exactly were those injections? I'm not sure, but it was supposed to help keep movement possible there.

If it is the lubrication shots, its a product like SynVisc or Supparts. I've tried both, neither worked for me. They are a made of chicken goo. People can have severe reactions to them, particularly if they are allergic to poultry.

Favre's too proud to retire, but I'd wager he doesn't finish the year.
Injury or suspension ends his career before the season is half over.

Love the player, hate the person he's become.

Become? I'd argue that he's the same person he's always been.

I agree completely.
It's easy to get the media mixed up with the ballplayer. While he might come out and suck some days, you're gonna get 1000% out of him every single game.
I said it before and I'll say it again...
Brett Farve will be able to outgame most of the quarterbacks in this league 20 years from now, in his hoveround.

You obviously have no clue what you're talking about. Your statement is such an easy one to let ramble, but couldn't be further from the truth.

LOL, this I can't necessarily agree with either though!

Let's keep the discussion about the topic. Leave the personal jabs out of it.

I was disappointed with last night's game. They should not take this long to find a groove. Our defense is STELLAR. Holding the Jets to ZERO TD's with how long they held the football? But the Jets did tame Jared Allen.

Running game is decent.

Percy Harvin + Moss + Rice would be a real contender.

Are all the pieces there? Yep. Just need to put them together. My .02.

I have NO idea why they didn't put Moss in motion ONCE.

Let me clarify.

Used to be a loveable hick.

Now he's just a self-absorbed d*ck.

Maybe he always was and my eyes were glossed over all his years in GB.

[BeerAdvocate]

I dont see him lasting all season, did you see him holding his elbow.
That tendennidis is going to flare up the more and more games he plays.
The Vikings sold their soul for Brett Favre to come back, and its going to be all for nothing!

[Da Klugs]

Ya gotta admit.... he makes it fun to watch. Its like a train speeding towards trouble. Sometimes it makes it through to the cheering adulation, sometimes its crash and burn. (Interceptions) In either case it keeps you watching.

Brutal schedule for the Packers coming up. Should be interesting. Maybe if they had a world class running back to hand off to occasionally.....

ROFLMAO, where's the personal jab? My comment was 100% on topic.
