Are we now annointing the Vikings as the new Syperbowl Champions?
The 96 Packers WON the superbowl that year. What have the Vikings won?

Is this article trying to validate Vikings as the next Superbowl champs? Or not...

I think comparing the two teams are unjustified and insulting.

I could not agree more. This is a joke of a discussion until at least the Vikings win the Super Bowl this year. No team that has played 7 games (even if they are unbeaten) is better than a Super Bowl champ.

Nobody has ever heard of Leroy Butler? LMAO! I grew up without a TV and had to listen to the radio behind my parents' backs, and even I know who Leroy Butler is.

You're either really young, really callow, or trying to yank our chains.

I believe he was pointing out a spelling error (and making a failed attempt at humor). If not, any shred of respect I might have had for him as a fan is gone. Love Favre all you want, but if you don't know possibly the best safety ever to don the green and gold you're worth about the same to me as an idiot.

Also, for the record: with all the wonderful and amazing things Favre did for the Pack over the years, Reggie White is the guy who really turned things around.

Yeah I'm relatively sure Grave was just taking the piss, hence my comment.

At first I thought he was joking on the typo, but some comments he made later made me think otherwise. If I misinterpreted his comment, I apologize.

Why compare the two? The Packers 1995 team lost in the NFC championship game, the 1996 team won a super bowl and the 1997 got to the super bowl only to lose to Elway's Broncos. Not only have the Vikings not gone to the super bowl yet but they lost in the wild card round last year to the Eagles.

Brett Favre is still a decent QB but he's not what he was 12 years ago. How come so many people have already forgot last year when everyone had the Jets in the playoffs until Favre decided to crumble to throw more picks than interceptions the last 4 games, en route to a 1-3 record.

Plus how many of you are forgetting the existence of the Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, Eagles, Cowboys and Giants? Not to mention the Colts, Patriots, Bengals and Broncos. It's a long way to the super bowl folks and we are only 7 games into this season. Even in the Vikings team makes it to the playoffs they still have a long way to go to match 1996 Packers team's accomplishment.

I'm not saying the Vikings won't do it, I'm just saying comparisons like these should die because they don't do anyone any good, they just stir up stupid emotions and bantering.

What does Lori Nickel and Favre say about the comparison now. The Vikings LIMPED into the number 2 seed and needed a loss from another team for it to happen. The Vikes running back hasnt done anything in the past few weeks (minus the Giants game which was a joke) and their quarterback (some guy named Favre) has played mediocre over that past several weeks as well. This just shows that these comparisons are pointless until AFTER the season is over, not three weeks into it.
