Ever since Bret Farve has gotten off the pain pills and booze he has become a pretty crappy quarterback. Its ridiculous that he’s such a media darling (not to mention a shameless media whore) that they had to come up with a term that describes his poor play yet at the same time sounds cool… “Gun Slinger.” (For Christ sake they had top ten “gunslingers” on the NFL network last week, yet somehow they didn’t ever mention what a gunslinger was) And at the same time no one can define this term. Well from what I understand this is what it means…
Gun Slinger: A quarterback who has a rocket arm, however he lacks proper decision making and situational game awareness to be considered a good quarterback. Down, distance, and score do not matter to this quarterback. His selfish play results in him throwing the ball to anyone on the field just to show of the strength of his throwing arm. This egotistical QB should be great at decision making after spending countless number of years in the league, study, and playing, However with each passing year he becomes more and more full of him self and his team suffers. His unnecessary risk taking and poor decisions will ultimately hurt his team more them help.
I know one thing for sure. You know who are not gun slingers? Manning and Brady because with each passing year their overall decision making got better not worse. They worked harder at the game in order to make fewer mistakes so they could be a better player for their team. They are the opposite of this self-centered pick machine who has ruined his teams post season chances for the last ten years. He has also hijacked every show that involves covering football news in the off-season for the last 5 years. I’m sure this pleases him and his massive ego. New Flash… 90% of people hate you Bret Farve and 98% of people are sick of hearing about you. Please go away already.
And another thing Farve’s play was so bad last year he cost his team a chance at the playoffs and got his coach fired for trading Pennington (a player who had a season ten times better then his.) Hell Chad took a 1-15 team to the playoffs while the Jets spent about 40 million in free agents and lost to the Seahawks. A bicep tended isn’t an excuse for decision making that bad.
Also you know how Brady got better? His rookie year he stayed after practice and worked with the backup receivers. He also worked out at the team facility in the off-season. You know what he didn’t do? He didn’t go to a high school where everyone was star struck and all over his nuts and threw passes to 14 year olds in order to get on the news.
I’m still absolutely disgusted that Brett Farve made the pro bowl last year. Remind you he was chosen as the 2nd best QB in the AFC. Look at his stats. This is where he ranked in the NFL compared to the other 32 QBs. He was 1st in interceptions (meaning most INTs in NFL), 20th Average yards per comp.(meaning his comp% is up because he throws short passes), 15th in QB Rating(86 dead average in the NFL), 16th in Yards/per game (again dead average), 11th Total number of sacks(meaning 11th most sacks in the NFL), 15th in number on completions over 20 yards(dead average). I need to ask someone these. Are these pro bowl numbers? Has the world gone coo-coo-bananas?
Also he fumble the ball 10 times and keep in mind he had #5th best rusher in the NFL and a pro-bowl Offensive line so it’s not like he had to win games by himself. And people think having the Vikings running game will keep this guy in check. Shame on you Bret Farve stay retired. Florio, please post this message this stuff has to be said before I blow my brains out over this guy.

“they think we drunk but we ain’t drink nothing.”
He actually wrote this? It’s a grammatical nightmare. Maybe this guy is mildly retarded or has only a 3rd grade education. This kind of makes sense; it would explain a lot of his behavior.

“who has no real leverage because no one else is sniffing around him”
What does really say about the lone team that is showing substantial interest? Nitwits, dumb asses, stupid is as stupid does all pop to mind.
When Favre shits the bed and the season goes down in flames, trust me, we wouldn’t be saying, “We told you so” We will be in mourning over the firing of our favorite coach. With Klink gone, there is at least a chance the Vikings will hire a real NFL coach and with the talent they have, then they will be dangerous.

I don’t think this is all part of a strategic plan or alibi. Chilly doesn’t like distractions taking away from the focus on the team and what they are trying to get accomplished. Favre knows this which is why he’s staying away until absolutely necessary, because once he’s signed and in camp, it’s the beginning of a season long media circus surrounding what on paper is the best Viking team ever assembled.
Look at the roster with Favre on there.
QB, RB, Offensive Line, Defensive Line, Linebacker, Secondary, Kicker, Punter, etc. They have it all. They spent the whole offseason addressing their Special Teams coverage units and over-all depth.
With Favre in there, they’re set.

Interesting point….. Have you ever noticed a dog will turn around THREE TIMES before it lays down and goes to sleep.
It is confirmed… Brett will retire and un retire one more time.

The Vikings don’t need a gunslinger all they need is a good game manager. The run game is incredible, the D is one of the best in the league, and they managed to win the division with Frerotte/Jackson. This deal seems like a desperate move when it isn’t required.
Good luck Vikings fans it’s going to be an interesting year for you.

The funniest thing is that all of the people bitching about covering Favre in the off season will be enjoying all of the coverage during the season itself.

How do Childress and the Vikings look in the eyes of the NFl , when Favre states he only wants to stick it to Ted Thompson. Now they are giving him the avenue and showing how desperate Childressis clinging to his job.

Favre could demand to own the Vikings after this year if he wins a Super Bowl. I bet that’s his contract.
It seems like it with how they are acting…
Unlike some posters, you may be closer to the truth than others. If he takes them to the promise land (1-4) then why wouldn’t they include that in a deal to either improve/build a new stadium or sell to another ownership to move to, hell I don’t know, LA? Favre ends up in upper management that would irate TT in GB and all the other non-Favre, yet Green Bay fans? Sucks to be a Fumudacheese head.

Well I will personally be camping out to get the mans Autograph at camp… For those of you who are not Vikings fans, I dont think you truly understand how excited Many Vikings fans are. Does it get old…………Nope. No matter how matter how many times I say Jeezus, not another Favre story. I still find that it is the first story I read. If Favre comes to Minnesota and Fails.. Packers fans will say See told ya so.. If Favre comes to Minnesota and Wins, Packer fans will say…It took a Packer to do it. It is easy for joe schmo to say he should stay retired… But that same Joe Schmo would probably go back to a job he retired from if he enjoyed doing it, then throw in another 10-12 million other reasons.

Favre should just go play for the CFL or the Arena League. That way he can chuck the ball as much as he wants. Also, if he does play for the CFL, maybe ESPN will purchase the rights to broadcast his team’s games.

well, I don’t know about you, but I was born with my middle finger pointing up. But, as Gladiator has taught me, an emperor points his THUMB up or down. And even though I cheated through science class my whole life, I seem to recall that the thumb is not a finger.
can you tell I’m almost as bored as the Flor Man with the offseason?
As to your post, Mikey, NO SHIT… Are we still trying to confirm Favre will play for the Vikings or no one? I think that one’s in the “no shit” pile.
Listen man, we’re all getting a little delirious with the slow offseason. I suggest you do like Brock Lesnar and lay on top of your wife and forget about it, or whatever he said. I just drove by your house and everything’s fine. I turned on the lights, picked up the newspaper, and brought the mail in. You don’t gotta worry about a damn thing.
