Nice to see Farve beat the Vikings again.

I gave you your first "Plus 1" hates!LOL!

Favre's tears were delicious.

"musccy"my hatred towards a rival trumps all emotion.

Schaudenfreude (sp) also ruled my day here.
After seeing Brett's picks play some role (in some cases a large one) in playoff losses to the 'boys, rams, eagles, and giants, I'm not the least bit sorry to see him biff it again with our arch rival.

Huge smile on my face right now!

Watch it, some call that classless

"HatestheF.I.B.s"Nice to see Farve beat the Vikings again.

Good one and a + 1.

Let me start off by saying I don't blame Favre for this defeat, any more than I blame Rodgers for the Packers' defeat.
Favre was the only Viking to show up to play yesterday.
Watching the old man on the sideline in tears as his dreams went up in smoke was gut-wrenching.
On the other hand, he is now the first person ever to finish his career with (presumably) three consecutive teams with an interception.
They would have won that game had he simply run out of
bounds -- he had an easy 10 yards ahead of him -- instead of throwing across his body.

That game pissed me off.
It was more about who wanted to lose less than who wanted to win.
If I had bought a ticket to that game, regardless of who I rooted for, I would have been livid.
It was obvious that no matter who won, Peyton Manning, M.D., will methodically and surgically dissect them in the forthcoming Super Bowl.
It's probably going to be a rout from the second quarter on.

Something that occurred to me this morning is I wonder if Favre's performance this year will spark a debate about the necessity of training camp, at least for veterans.
If he can sign on in August, have a great season, and lead a team to the NFC Championship, what could other players do without the grind of offseason training?
It wouldn't surprise me to see vested veterans attempt to negotiate clauses in their contracts that reduce their offseason obligations.
Something to watch for.

Poetic justice at it's finest. Blame the refs even though the Saints were flagged more. Blame the 4 lost fumbles. Blame Balldress for allowing 12 men in the huddle.

At the end of the game, ball is in his hands, he makes yet another boneheaded throw that costs his team a trip to the Super Bowl.

He might not be completely to blame considering the rest of his offensive weapons had a severe case of fumblia, but he deserves at least part of it for making yet another stupid throw just like in '03 and '07 with Green Bay.

I don't think that will become an issue for any other position other than QB because although the veteran players wont need the game planning portion of the offseason training they will need the conditioning of it, maybe even more so than the younger players.

For example Brett may not need the offseason conditioning because (although it inevitably happens) hes not meant to get hit but for say another vet like woodson or driver their position needs the conditioning aspect because they need to be able to take the physical punishment of an NFL season and the sooner they start preparing for it the better off they will be.

"Cheesey"I'd LOVE to see Ted Thompson right now. I bet he's smiling!
Ted Thompson texting Favre "Hey Brett! NICE PASS!!!Ted Thompson"

Ted Thompson never smiles. He probably took a shot of whiskey and went back to scouting guys he can take in the 6th and 7th rounds.

I agree, except I'd replace the whiskey with ginger ale or something. I doubt that Ted drinks anything with alcohol in it, except maybe an occasional beer.
