A nail clipper should fix that up. I’ve had a few of those. Once it’s unfolded and clipped, it’s a done issue.

Quick! Somebody report it! Brett Favre has heartburn but he’s on Prilosec OTC. He’s listed as probable for the game vs the 49ers

Florio, why don’t you go spoon with fellow hater Rodney Harrison. It’s too bad that both of you have to try to make names for yourself by trashing Favre. I don’t know you from dirt, so your comments mean nothing to me. Harrison on the other hand trashes Favre for the way he left G.B. and N.Y. If I remember correctly Harrison’s departure from San Diego was far from amiable. Amazing how this juiced up (suspended by league) head hunter/cheap shot artist now has some sort of perceived legitimacy to make comments regarding a first ballot hall of famer that has the ability to control his own destiny and go out on his own terms. Jealousy from a guy that couldn’t do it on his own and had to cheat with roids to be any type of force on the field. Neither one of you could carry Brett Favre’s jock strap. Guess you and Harrison can visit the hall of fame if you buy tickets.

You act as if he is going around or has a history of going around making excuses. He doesn’t. If Reggie Bush, Tom Brady or any other player are reported as having a minor injury you don’t rip into them as if they are planting an excuse for later. You are an a$$hole Florio plain and simple. Get over yourself.

Er, what? Pedestrian numbers? The Vikings won both games by 14 and were up even more before late scores after the games were out of reach. They are averaging 30.5 points per game which is good even against crappy teams on the road.
They are a defensive, run out the clock type of team. If required to throw deeper passes they probably can and will. But for now there is no point.
And bent fingernail is a non story. This guy just set the career consecutive starts record and you are worried about him getting hurt and a fingernail. I know it is “satire” or “comedy” apparently but why even bother equating a bent fingernail to a torn biceps tendon in terms of excuse level.
He was shaking his hand and in pain after the last pass before they took him out because they were dominating so much. Turned out it was nothing worth mentioning. Florio, it turns out it was nothing worth mentioning.

Weird, because from every source that doesn’t slam Favre on every pass, it was reported that this was an injury to his non-throwing hand, and does not matter. But of course, this is about what I expect out of this site now, so I shouldn’t be surprised.
Even though you are basically reporting what other bloggers and news sources post, I still have to GO to those news sources for the full story… pretty annoying.

“Despite generating fairly pedestrian statistics”
Lets see.
37 completions versus 48 pass attempts (77% completion %).
3 TD’s versus ZERO INT’s.
110.2 passer rating (# 2 in the entire NFL behind Drew Brees).
Yeah. Right. What does it take to impress you?

Lord knows I have no fan of Favre or Chilly but the sheer amount of Bs that you throw at Brent is even over the top for a guy like me.
Let’s wait till later in season when the Biqueens are facing a little adversity and a team with more talent than the Lions before we start to pick on Brent again.

seeing as how brett seems to know more about what defense the opposition is going to run before the snap than the rest of our guys do after, i’m thrilled to have his poise and leadership in the huddle. all of these idiot reporters can take a hike with their “schisms,” because despite A slow start(adrian’s fumble wasn’t brett’s fault despite the fact that many of you would like it to be), the entire team seems to be locked on a common goal, and appear to be finding a groove.
what if his body craters 3/4 of the way through? i’m certain tjack and sage are learning every bit as much, if not more, learning from favre as opposed to tjack jump passing or deer in the headlighting his was through tough situations.
not to mention that chilly would definitely bench brett if it ensured him a better chance of keeping his job.

I seriously considered retirement. I wasn’t sure I had anything left to give. Tears were running down my cheek.
Bus came by with a nail clipper and snipped it for me. Dr. Andrews just gave me a clean bill of health. So, I figure I’ll just keep loving the game, gun-slinging, and earning $12M while telling you to buy Wrangler jeans. Well, until next week when I contemplate retiring again.

Florio, give it a break. It is not Favre reporting on this stuff it is you. By the way did any QB have as high arating as Favre yesterday. Find another ax to grind. Maybe you are the has been. He is still starting for a potential Super Bowl team. What are you doing?

@Tomb
Funny, but do us all a favor and keep your
Favre-orite fantasies to yourself.
Florio,
You nevermind the nay-sayers, and keep up the Favre-bashing, however “petty” or redundant his apologists and taint-worshippers claim it to be…
Truth is, most of the free world ENJOYS seeing that wishy-washy primadonna attention-wh0re sell-out get knocked down a couple pegs.

“I’m sure if he wanted to he still could be having 400 yard games, but then the complaint would be that he had 2 int. ”
Your formula is a bit off. In order to get a 400 yard game Brett would now throw 8 interceptions. Possibly 9 with his injured fingernail and all.

So people are ripping Favre for being a vagina, yet he himself said that it is a Non-issue and not a big deal. BTW, he just set the record for most consecutive starts you imbosols.
Am I missing something here are are you all just that completely retarded?
I suppose Florio’s man boner to write anything negative Favre doesn’t help. Speak on florio drones! Maybe you can all live together and your colony would resemble the movie “idiocracy”

This horse was beaten to death a long time ago. It wasn’t funny in the first place. Now it just borders on absurdity. Hey Florio, you are NOT funny. Your pathetic attempts at humor are just that. Stick to engaging in rediculous speculation and random, unsupported, unsubstantiated, uncorroborated conjecture. I love how virtually non of your presumptuous nonsense ever comes true. Whether its Thigpen being run out of KC or Kolb being a roster cut in Philly, your hypothesis/pipe-dream tree never bear’s fruit.

If by fairly pedestrian you mean posted the highest completion percentage of his career, ripped off a fat QB rating (Which comes under fire on this site numerous times) and now sits atop of the list for highest completion percentage in the NFL with 77%…just sayin…

Though Favre is expected to miss no time, he now has another potential excuse in the event of a second straight late-season collapse.

Did anyone, including Florio, read this article or pay attention to the career of Favre at all? Has he ever missed a game due to an injury? Has he been the perfect QB at all time? For all three of those questions, the answer must be no.
First off, it was Childress who said this probably after getting a report from the medical staff, just like any other player. I am sure if someone has a bruise that is also reported. The only reason Favre was mentioned is because he’s an important player on the team.
Second, if you have watched Vikings football since 2004, you will notice that they have not had a good QB since Culpepper went down. Favre can see the field very good and he has made good decisions. Do I expect the INTs, Bad Passes, Etc…Of course. That’s what you get with Favre. But the Vikings will not make or not make the playoffs due to Favre. It will be due to a team effort. If the Vikings can make it with Gus/T-Jax, then they should be able to make it with a QB who defenses have to worry about.
Last, Florio, Are you just hoping that Favre will go down so you can say you were right? Even if you are, no one will care.

lbpackfan…yeah an easy start for the Vikes..I guess they were lucky they didn’t get the powerhouse Bengals? Jeez, then Favre could have really been banged around like Rodgers did. I think the chances of Rodgers going down soon is probably more likely than Favre’s. Rodgers has had knee, shoulder and foot injuries in the past and the way he’s being chased down I’d worry if I was a Packer Backer. Very worried.

Hey Florio…..what sport did YOU play? You have a lot of nads bashing the new Ironman of professional football. Favre will play at least another year after this one….and he may even lead the Vikes to the Super Bowl. Shades of George Blanda….only thing Favre doesn’t do is kick field goals.
I think Florio should challenge Favre to fight since he feels that Favre possesses anatomical features of the female of the species.

By: Hauschild

Hauschild — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:27:27 +0000

Let’s all keep in mind the Vikings have HORRIBLE receivers and AWFUL pass protection. Therefore, to expect Favre to play QB AND play WR AND play O-line is futile and foolish.
The Vikes will go however their O-line and WR’s can improve. Favre can work with a bit of sligh ‘o hand, but he, like any mere mortal, cannot pull rabbits out of hats.

I just realized what Florio’s problem is with Favre. Favre has had one job for almost 20 years now. Florio couldn’t cut it as an atty, he is quickly proving he can’t handle being a sports reporter/blogger so he rips anyone that has a job longer than he has.
Anyone got a better reason?
