Back in the saddle again
Ok Ok I’ve been gone a while. And I was rightly outed by Mr.Wilson on the radio. So for a return post, I stride in...riding my white horse...just like:
Brett Favre.
My favorite football team now has one of my most hated enemies as their QB. I can’t tell you how ill this makes me. I have spent a lifetime of watching Brett Favre beat the Minnesota Vikings and I’ve spent what seems like a lifetime of watching Brett Favre flip flop and hem and haw over his decisions to play football. He’s done it numerous times and this latest episode he stayed retired and now he is back in the NFL with the Vikings.
I don’t like this decision by the Vikings. I said it back then, but Mike Vick was a better option for the Vikings than Brett Favre is. But I’m sure the Vikings never considered that option because they were blinded by the “god-like” aura than Favre emits.
Now I’m conflicted...I have a man I absolutely HATE...leading a team that I absolutely love.

As another long-time Vikings fan, I no longer hate Favre. I have however gotten pretty sick of his post-post-post retirement waffling.
The expectation now is that we should go to the Superbowl. I am wondering how things will go down if we come out losing a few in the first half of the season. Not very well I would think.
This is a big gamble and will cause a lot of excitement. If it doesn’t pay off, there will be an awful lot of bitter Vikings fans around. If it does, and the Vikes go to the superbowl and WIN, it will be the sports story of the year.

I am very much on your side. I am so tired of Brett Favre the past three seasons that I will now boycott any Vikings games that come on the television. At least we won’t have John Madden this year to fawn all over him.

I wouldn’t go as far as to boycott their games on TV. I’m sure now that Favre is on the team most of their games will be covered here in Nebraska.

I never really liked Michael Vick all that much as a quarterback. Besides, they already have a QB who doesn’t work all that hard and doesn’t throw the ball very well.
They run the west coast, so if they do what Green Bay did a couple years ago with short passes they’ll be fine.

All the Favre haters and Vikes fans will be awfully quiet about this if he takes them deep into the playoffs - that team is stacked and he’s got a ton of young talent and weapons around him. A QB is what they need.
If you’re an NFL GM, and one of the top QB’s ever to play wants to sign on with you, are you really going to tell him no?
I’m no fan, and I’ve hated the waffling, but as a kid that grew up in a Vikings coat with Vikings hat and Vikings mittens and gloves and scarves, I am dying to see this play out.

You are absolutely right. If the Vikes come out swinging this season the majority of fans will be going nuts. Right now the biggest haters are the truly hardcore Vikings and Packer fans, and Sage Rosenfels. No doubt the Vikes should take their conference. But with this acquisition its all or nothing, and they need to get to, and win, the Superbowl.
Gene says RE: All the Favre haters and August 18, 2009 at 4:28pm
Wise words. Right now, they’re right up there with the Giants, Eagles, and Panthers for the best in the NFC. I’m not sure if they’re the best in the NFC, but they’re right up there.

I hope Favre steps it up this season and does well for his team.

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. It’s the old what goes around comes around routine. Did you acquired lots of links and I see lots of trackbacks?
