Minnesota's Long Purple Hostage Crisis is Over

[Oddball]

As reported by KTLK-FM, in MSP, Brett Favre will remain retired.

 

[Modbert]

Well, as the title says, that's how it goes. ESPN is reporting this as Brett has told the Vikings this.

Will he stay retired next year? Never know. However, for all purposes right now, he's retired.

I'll believe it when football season is in full swing.

Too bad he didn't go out with the Packers, the way he should have.


{In my opinion, and I like Brett Favre}

The happiest guy in football has to be Sage Rosenfels.

He's gonna kick the snot out of Tavaris Jackson for the starting job.

Jackson couldn't start a lawn mower.

This is bittersweet for me. As a Packer Backer, I never wanted to see Favre in purple. However, the guy is a joy to watch play. I wanted to see him sling the ball for another season, just not in purple.

Anyway, it has been a helluva career.

Yeah, I'm sure the story won't go away that easy.

Picture is worth a thousand words. One throws like a fag, the other looks confused.

Is that Brad Johnson?

Is that Brad Johnson?

No, it is Sage Rosenfels. With a name like Sage, it shouldn't be a surprise that he throws like a fag.

We'll see.

Remember what happened to Doug Williams' numbers, when he moved to Washington and finally got some blocking up front??

Numbers don't win playoff games.

 

[Oddball]

They won a Super Bowl for Williams.

Barring injury to key players or piss poor coaching (which is a distinct possibility with Brad Childress), and Rosenfels puts in even a slightly above average performance (which is way beyond the grasp of Jackson), the Vikes have all the pieces to go the distance.

If they don't make it to the conference championship game, I bet Childress is gone.

I wouldn't say that he's the happiest guy in football. The happiest guy would be one that was on a team likely to make the playoffs.

But, he is probably the happiest guy named "Sage".

Crimson, weren't you the one saying a few weeks ago the Vikings would most likey win the Super Bowl this year if they signed Favre?

Actually, I think that was John Madden that said that.

Yes. Favre was the missing link. They now have a bunch of tools that neither QB knows how to use. Safeties are not gonna be afraid of Rosenfels or Jackson and therefore Peterson won't have any daylight to run to.

They might make the playoffs now, but they won't go deep. IMHO, I see the Bears taking the division.

The Bears have no offensive line.

Chicago is in for a whole heapin' helpin' of Jay Cutler cryass this season.
