Dan Dierdorf produced this gem...
Dan Dierdorf really needs to be reined in. The way he heaps praise around you would think you were watching an all-century team with everyone in their prime. Its not just Manning either it everyone. "Domonique Foxworth man what a player, Ravens fans you've got something special here...", "Pierre Garcon, this kid has it all size, speed, hands, Colts fans you've got something special here...." etc... etc..
And that Colts\Ravens game was just sad.
Would love to see the Jets beat the Colts though as some kind of cosmic payback, as the only reason the Jets are in the playoffs is because the Colts laid down for them.
Also perhaps that game took a little shine off the Phillip Rivers star...he came up small in a very big game.
So...yeah, it was kind of a dick move for the Vikes to go for it on 4th & 3, with less than 2 minutes left, with a comfy 27 point lead. Ok...a total "Fuck You Cowboys" move. But...I can live with that, cuz you're pissed that a lot of people were picking the Cowboys, whatever.
The part that bugged me, for whatever reason, was that Favre was going crazy, like he'd just thrown that touchdown to take the lead or something.
I'm hoping the Saints put up 50 points against them.
As for the AFC game...I'm not really sure who I'm rooting for there...kinda leaning towards the Jets, so that they can stick it to both the Bengals and Colts, who, had either of those 2 teams TRIED to beat the Jets in the last 2 weeks of the season, wouldn't have even had to play them. Irony.

Hmmm. I remember week 17. Cowboys were up 24-0 and had a fourth down with under 3 minutes to go. They went for it and attempted a pass. The Eagles stopped them, but you get the point. You didn't hear the Eagles or their fans whining about it.
Brooking needs to STFU. There is no running up the score in the NFL.
There is a long dark road ahead of me.
You didn't hear the Eagles or their fans whining about it.
Well that's because everyone knows what classy gentlemen Eagles fans are.

"And if Favre hoists the Lombardi trophy, Packers fans are going to react like someone just bought them a treadmill: abject fear, horror and confusion."
I thought this needed to be repeated somewhere. This seemed like the place.

If we don’t try we’ll never know. At least I can find out how good I can be. I can have an answer at the end of the days, and have a hell of a good time with the process. -Desi Davila

It would be interesting to see if the hypocrisy of the Viking nation could reach a higher level.
Average Viking Fan on August 18th:
What the hell are the Vikes doing?! Favre is completely washed up! What about Travaris Jackson? So what if he was a below average college quarterback. He gonna be a great NFL QB! What about Sage? Did you see him rescue defeat from the jaws of victory against the Colts last year?! Who else could blow a 10 point lead and turn over the ball 3 times in 4 minutes? Who else I ask you?!!!
Average Viking Fan on September 27th:
I bet you were nervous when the Vikes were down late to San Fran... not me! Oh ye of little faith (shaking head) I knew Favre was gonna bring us back! I knew it!
Average Viking Fan on February 6th???:
I told you Favre was the guy to turn this team around!!!!! The minute they signed him... what did I say?... I said, WHAT DID I SAY?! I said SUPERBOWL MOTHER FUCKER. And I bet you doubted that signing.... Fucking doubters...
Can they make the full transition? Let's hope not.
I'm in the business of misery...
my only advice to Packer fans is to think of Favre as an old girlfriend you dumped for a younger better version. Do not worry about him celebrating with his new team. If your old girl gets in good shape and suddenly looks good again you must not get worried who she is screwing now. Even if the old broad is outwardly enjoying it. And even if she's gettin' it from a guy you really hate. A guy who looks Viking-ish maybe.
Somehow the fans in Cincy survived when Pete Rose won a title with the Phillies. My brain can't think of any more analogies. But I have been fascinated listening to the level of discord in Wisconsin as people grapple with Brent Favre.
The last two posts are funny as hell. Oh alright Nader, your's was ok too .
And he almost said Trent Favre
Hail to The Victors!
Speak for yourself, cheddarhead.
Nah, Favre is like the guy who ran for the school across town and used to blow your doors off for the first two years of your career on nothing but pure talent. But, as you worked hard and got better you would beat him on good days, though sometimes, even the morning after a good bender, he'd blow your doors off out of nowhere. Then, inexplicably, he left that school and ran for your school as a senior. All of a sudden he's running every day and is your number one guy. It'd be great if you won the title with him, but he's still the idiot who threw most of his career away running with the enemy.
meh
wth!
Trying to see if you're paying attention.

However, the Redskins off-season moves for 2010 are looking good.
Championship!

A lot of the fans here have really been annoying me the last month though. Look what happened to Texas (college), they had their starting QB injured and they lost. Yet we have secured home field advantage through the playoff and rest some starters for 2 meaningless games and the fans throw a hissy fit. Those same fans would have thrown a hissy fit if Manning had been injured going for a perfect season after the playoff berth was secured.
Football is a rough, rough game. The Colts are now the healthiest they've been all season...when it really counts. Nobody cares who had a perfect season by the next year, they remember who won the Super Bowl. Hell, I don't even watch the games until they get to the playoffs.
