I can't see the picture at work, but since you're from the land of 10,000 lakes, I'll assume it has something to do with Favre.
Have fun with the ol' gunslinger. Those 22 picks were awesome for the Jets last year. There was no better feeling than watching us move the ball downfield only for Favre to throw it right into the waiting arms of an opposing cornerback, who would show his gratitude by taking it the other way for 6. F*ck Brett Favre.
6/18: Phish in Hartford 6/25: Phish in Camden 7/2-7/4: Nateva 7/17: God Street Wine at Irving Plaza 7/23-7/25: String Cheese at Red Rocks!! 8/17-8/18: Phish at Jones Beach 9/3: Rush at PNC
This Bonnaroo lineup is in dire need of some Rush.

If I was a reporter, I would just stop asking Brett Farve questions. He clearly never has any idea what he's going to do, it's just a waste of time to ask him if he's gonna play or not
He's gonna have 3 or 4 unbelievable games this year probably, and 25 picks throughout rest of the season
3 great wins = NFC divisional game win, NFC championship win, Superbowl win!! he may throw a ton of INTs, but with our running game he shouldn't have to throw so much. Plus with our defense, running game, and (probably) recieving core being so solid, all we needed was a decent QB, and Farve's immensely better than what we were expecting to have.
God bless it all! I'm a Vikings fan, and I'm pissed about Favre. I hope I'm wrong, but I think it will be about the two GB games for him, and the rest of the season wont matter. I wish they'd just let Sage and Tavaris work it out.
(although, I just might enjoy rubbing it into all my cheese-head relatives) ;D

Sage Rosenfels looked decent in the Vikings' first preseason game. Favre's arm is hanging on by some duct tape and a couple of pieces of chewing gum. If I'm a defensive back in the NFC north, this news just made me very happy.

As President of the Nashville Norsemen, I was against getting Favre last year as I just couldn't see rooting for a QB that I'd hated for decades. But Childress (our coach) has changed my mind.
Childress' playcalling is way too conservative. He runs way too much against 7-8 man fronts (see the Wash game in '07 that kept us from the play-offs where he threw ONCE on 1st down in the 1st half and we were down by 20) He also left TJ hanging against the Eagles in the '08 play-off when he had no roll-outs or quick slants against the pressure blitzes.
Now TJ and Sage would be looking over their shoulders and too scare to audible and change the play. Favre will not hesitate to audible and change a stupid play. Childress will not pull Favre. And Favre knows this offense as well or better than Chilly.
So I'm reluctantly glad to have Favre.
Skol Vikings!

^^^My fellow Vikings fans have been working on me, and I've changed my mind.
I'm happy about it. I just hope they can protect him. If he stays healthy, this could really be the year. If not, then we get a season like the '08 Jets.

I am a HUGE sports nerd, football included. My pro team is the Colts and my NCAA team is the laughable Indiana Hoosiers. You've got to love an underdog. I'll be at every home game this year, rooting for the Cream and Crimson!
I may be the biggest Favre fan of all time and have had old Packer posters on my wall since i was 5 years old, so i really dont care how many times he comes back. I just want to see him get that second Super Bowl.
The big difference between The Jets and Vikings is he was learning The Jet offense from scratch and had difficulties with it the whole year. The Vikings offense if very similar to the Packer offense he ran for 15 years. He could coach that offense. I think The Vikes now have the second best offesne in the NFC behind the Falcons of course

Knowing the offense will help, so there's a chance it could work, but I'd still have my reservations if I was a Vikings fan. Sure it seems like all you need is a competent QB in there, and Favre could step in and just manage the game.....but that's not Favre. Inevitably he's going to try to squeeze a ball into an area he has no business throwing into, or scrambling out of the pocket and flinging a ball in the general direction of multiple receivers and DB's. Trust me, being a Dolphins fan I had a ball watching him self destruct with the Jets, just like he did in his last game as a Packer.
And if I sound bitter, there's no real reason other than just being sick of his whole saga. Plus I think it's BS that GB agreed to trade him with the stipulation that he couldn't be traded back to the Vikings, then Favre gets out of that by "retiring" again so the Jets release him. Nothing obvious about that.
He said those that are complaining about him shouldn't watch.....sounds like great advice. I have no need to watch a once great QB hang on past any semblance of his prime anyway. Although Adrian Peterson is one of the most fun players in the game to watch. Damn.

IU's first Thursday night game in 125 years is tonight! I will be sitting in club seats, watching our Indiana Hoosiers (hopefully) win the home opener against Eastern Kentucky. Please, sweet baby Jesus, let us win.

Oh Hipster Doofus, thank you for "watching" the MNF game with me last night on Facebook. I was getting pretty nervous near the end of the 4th quarter when we were down by three. Peyton is such a stud...with a giant brain perfectly tuned to pick apart the opponent's plays. Unfortunately, I can't make the trip to Ann Arbor. I'm leading a work retreat Saturday morning. I would love to see the madness though. Ohio State is coming to B-town on Oct. 3...God help us all.

It was a pretty excruciating game to watch on my end, but yeah, thanks for the company! Yeah yeah yeah, Peyton is good. Hopefully Tate and Denard can exact some revenge for me on Saturday! Enjoy the OSU game....we'll be on the same side for that one.
If there are any Louisville Cardinals fans out there maybe you can help me out. I'm watching this Louisville-Pitt game and Louisville's say "The Ville" across the front. I'm not even going to wager in on how lame I think this is. As if your city is the only one that ends in -ville. I live in Knoxville and we damn sure don't call it "The Ville." Sorry for the rant, but WTF?

I have some friends that attend Millersville University in PA and they refer to the school as 'The Ville' as well. I'm with you, 'The Ville' sounds like a weird way to reference the team/school.
I'll be at every home game this year, rooting for the Cream and Crimson!
