Brett Favre As The Obvious Bearer Of Good Taste

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:50:25 -0500

If just for a minute, you would be willing to put aside your contempt for trimmed jorts, maddening indecisiveness and oh-gee-golly vernacular, you would surely find that Brett Favre is simply misunderstood. And this newfound reverence toward Favre has absolutely nothing to do with his recent comments calling Jay Cutler “damn good”. Okay, so it [...]

Favre: Nothing wrong with Cutler

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:19:02 -0500

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Brett Favre doesn't see anything wrong with Jay Cutler. In fact, the future Hall of Fame quarterback gave Cutler the ultimate compliment during a Wednesday conference call with Chicago media. "I think he's better (than I was at a young age)," Favre said. "I think he's damn good. He'll be fine, and I know he knows that, and I'm sure to a certain extent that's what Donovan [McNabb] may have been talking to him about at the end of that...

When talks between Brett Favre and the Vikings heated up late last summer, Tavaris Jackson wasn’t pleased.

[Editor’s Note: The title might sound like this article is about the condition of Brett Favre’s skin. Its not.] Brad Childress is not known for his creative play calling. However, if one looks close, the Vikings have used quite a bit of creative plays this season on offense. It just so happens they’ve used them sparingly… [...]

Favre extends passer rating lead on competition

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:59:50 -0500

Vikings quarterback Brett Favre entered Sunday with an NFL-high passer rating of 107.5. By completing a personal record 88 percent of his passes (22 of 25) for 213 yards and four touchdowns, Favre actually improved his passer rating to 112.1. For the season, he is 216 of 310 (69.7 percent) for 2,482 yards with 21 touchdowns and three interceptions. Is it enough to win an unprecedented fourth MVP award?

Can the Vikes Go All The Way?

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:26:17 -0500

When it was announced that Brett Favre would be the Vikings new starting quarterback this season, folks immediately began talking Super Bowl. As a die-hard Vikings fan, I would like nothing more. In fact, I live for the day that I can cheer the Vikings onto a win in the big game, but does the team have what it takes to go all the way this season? In my heart, I want to shout, "Of course they do!" but realistically, I don't think it's going to happen. Why? Because we lack ...

Brett Favre might be good

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:46:00 -0500

Now that's the convincing win over a subpar team that everyone was looking for...Even the most die-hard Brett Favre-backers couldn't have predicted this kind of season. 21 touchdowns versus 3 interceptions and a 112.1 passer rating makes folks like me look pretty silly for dissing him early in the season. And after seeing Tarvaris Jackson play for a quarter-plus and look like the Division 1-AA quarterback that he is, it's pretty clear that Favre's not only an MVP candidate for...

Brett Favre Now Officially Giving Comfort to the Enemy

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 11:31:41 -0500

Americans have been tortured by the unremitting mentions of Brett Favre for at least the last several years. However, it's typically been a self-imposed thing. Not anymore. But then, that's the price of a free and open society. Our enemies see the harm we inflict upon ourselves and start using it for their own ends. According to a military official, detainees at a Wisconsin National Guard camp in Iraq are using Brett Favre as a manner of getting at the guard troops there. "They k...
