@Dewey-
Nothin’ like a little Norris division news to bring the wannabe troll out of hiding, thing is, it took just a bit too long for a genius like you.
Your grubby little mitts musta been burnin’ up the keys, while you feverishly composed your diarrhea laced diatribe. Either that or you extended your weekend just a bit with your BFF in his mommy’s basement & still had a mouthful of goose down, while he was drivin’ his John Deere thru your balloon knot…eat that pillow TWINK, it’s plowin’ time again!
My money’s on the latter!!!

Well said Dewey. This is truly wonderful news, better than anything GB or Chicago could have hoped for.
Collins and Woodson just got guaranteed another Pro Bowl trip, all they need to do is stay healthy, Urlacher should get some of the best numbers of his career.. Hell, even the sorry-ass Lions should reap the benefits of this ill-advised signing.
The unfortunate downside is that Coach Dome-in-the-Dome will probably be out of a job, and without him or Favre around, the Vikings may actually make a decent run in 2010.
For now though, the legendary Pack-Bears rivalry is heating up, and I’m even more excited to see which one can take the division!!

My new favorite team….to despise. First you have the professorial nerd who acts like he has 3 Lombardi trophies to his resume, the one and only Mr. Noodle, Brad Childress. Then you have Jared Allen, the roid abusing, Matt Schaub-knee diving A-hole. And now, the cherry on top of the sundae on Sundays. The pick-flingin’ graybeard himself. The ultimate Narcissist. The guy who wants to blow off 90 degree heat in training camp to show up when he wants. The one and only self indulgent jackass. Brett Favre.
Man, is it going to be fun watching these guys crash and burn in December.

You can still buy tickets through ticket master… No need to turn to the scalpers yet… Oh and preseason tickets for federal employees are available for $25… Or anyone can get a special package from the Vikes for $49 that includes free parking and a $20 voucher for gut bombs and beer….

@TeflonDon’t:
So you respond to my preachy, wordy, self-righteous rant with one your own?
You sure showed me.
Really gave me what-for. Fixed my wagon.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ…
By the way–is your “Shift” key broken?
Or do you just not know how to use it?
Let me help you, Teffy–apply downward pressure while simultaneously striking the letter you want.
P.S. These instructions also work when applied to your mother. Thanks.

Whoa! Tuesday shocker!
Give me a break, we ALLLL knew this was coming the last, last, last – no wait, the last before that – time he announced he was finished.
Anyone with a brain knew he didnt wanna go thru camp again and this was predicted.
BTW, kudos on teh “Lard Favre” remark whoever made it….more fitting than Lord Favre.

As to the remarks about “crying” and “whining,” lots of great ones have wept or choked back tears upon announcing retirement. Roger Staubach comes to mind. I don’t think anyone ever questioned Roger’s manhood.

The Queens now have an interception King! A match made in heaven!
The only bad thing about all this is that we’ll now have to pay bonuses to our backfield due to all the interceptions they’ll pick off. Good thing we’ve got cap room!
Go Pack Go!!!

@Dewey Axewound:
that is the most overly-dramatic, cliche- and figurative language-laden post i can recall seeing. congrats on getting the attention you desire.
how about this, though: let’s call this what it is. favre went back and forth on the retirement issue, decided on coming back, and is now a viking. that’s what happened.
but instead, you decide on the following: telling vikings fans how the feel. telling vikings fans what their expectations of the season should be. telling them why they are morons for supposedly having the expectations you’ve laid out for them. playing doomsayer to all who don’t passionately denounce the acquisition of an accomplished quarterback the team needs. and you do it in the most rambling, vindictive manner possible. sure, we’ll listen to you.
fancy language, though. lots of big words, too. very self-righteous. two narcissists born every minute.
if you’re a bears fan, enjoy your third place-finish; i feel like you probably know a lot of synonyms for “disappointment,” so you may as well start practicing.

I now have three wishes for the 2009 NFL season.
Detroit Lions 2-14 with both wins coming against the Vikings.
Lard Farve leads the league in INTs.
Vikings miss the playoffs and it’s directly attributed to an INT by His Lordness.
Also, the Packers should assign Jersey #4 to a rookie place kicker.

Wow- I can’t believe it took you two hours or so after the inital rumors of Favre returing and you calling him “Lord”. I have to begin to question your professionalism in this lengthy delay.

By: Great Smoky

FAVRE! MOAR!!
But seriously…
A few thoughts to toss out. One is that the interception argument against Favre’s greatness seems specious. Quarterbacks with long careers and lots of attempts populate the list of those with most career INT’s. Are Dan Marino, Fran Tarkenton, Johnny Unitas, Y. A. Tittle or George Blanda “overrated” or “journeymen” because they threw a lot of picks?
Secondly, beating the Vikings over the head seems a little silly. They brought Tarkenton back years after he worked his own way out of Minnesota, and he took them to three Super Bowls. The took a chance on Jim McMahon in the early 1990′s and he had one of his better years as a pro. They had some success with Warren Moon. They talked Randall Cunningham out of retirement and gained a conference championship berth, going 15-1 with a record-setting offense, when Cunningham posted the highest passer rating in the NFL. They also made a serious run at Dan Marino, who considered it but turned them down. What might have been?
As for legacy, did Joe Namath’s stint with the Rams, or Johnny U’s time with the Chargers, or Montana’s tenure with the Chiefs affect their legacies? Did Tony Dorsett ruin his legacy by playing for the Broncos? Franco Harris with the Seahwaks? Emmitt Smith with the Cards? Doug Atkins with the Saints? Larry Csonka with the Giants? Etc., etc.

Guys…methinks I wasn’t clear on what I meant since a couple of you took me to task. I did not mean that JUST BECAUSE one puts in the work, they should start. But the fact remains that there’s no way a 40 YO QB who has been on the decline late in the season play quality wise for about 8 years and who hasn’t taken a snap with anyone on that team is better than those two QBs right now as far as running the offense. No way. He doesn’t know the players.
