This has been bothering me for a while· Page 6

Vikings fans have been giving Packer fans a hard time about the last 12 years. Saying Favre is a choker and after '05 a waffling choker and an INT machine. Now, they can't mention his name without some wet naps to clean their keyboards off and we are suppose to respect them when Favre saves his best choke and his most distractive waffle for the Vikings. Ha, pull the other one.

I consider losing to them twice last year a fair bargain. It helped build the absolute rabid feverish certainty that they were finally going to get that one thing they envied the most about Green Bay, the Lombardi trophy. We got to watch as the frantic fervor built to its most excruciating pitch, the glory of the Super Bowl was so thick you could taste it in the the air. Lucky us, we got to watch that fevered gleam of fanatical certainty die in their eyes and see it turn into the the leaden, gut wrenching realization, Favre did it again. "...THIS IS NOT DETROIT MAN, THIS IS THE SUPER BOWL!!!"

What did you expect, it's Favre. That's what he does. It is like being surprised that a scorpion stings. It is his nature. And it is the nature of people like me to rub it into the poor suckers that gloat over the Viking beating us twice. Bet that hurts a lot more than 2 mid season losses that didn't even keep us out of the playoffs.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Don't shit talk unless you win the superbowl?

Are you new to football?

You really need to work on your reading comprehension. Examples:

Gameday Chat:

PH member: "That was a bad pass by Rodgers."
Dale: "So we should cut Rodgers after one pass? Really?"
PH member: "That was a tough loss. Horrible effort today."
Dale: "So we lose one game and the season is over? Wow."

I love me.

But I was attacking your logic and you know it. We can't trash talk a team that swept us? That just means they deserve it more than ever. Trash talk the lions or trash talk a team that gives it to us?

Or kiss their ass?

I go with trash talk. Stop saying you want Ted Thompson fired, Ironman, you look like a fool!

Trash talk is fun. Doesn't have to be correct, but it is sure as hell fun to trash talk. There isn't much else to say.

You want to finish your career here?
Favre: "Definitely. If in two years, say, they want to trade me, I'd probably walk away. Retire."

See, I don't. Losing to them twice prevented us from winning the division, and getting a home playoff game. That matters to me. The fact that the Vikings ended up losing is no consolation for me.

What bothers me, is a good majority of Packers fans don't seem all that upset that we got swept by the Vikings, and had to settle for a Wild Card game.

And to be quite blunt, any Packers fan saying that losing to the Vikings twice, was a "fair bargain" is bullshit. Losing to the Vikings sucks. Period.

If we had split with the Viking's we'd have won the division and had a home field game. All we had to do was win one of them games, just one.

A fair bargain for losing two games to the Vikings would be the Super Bowl victory. Other than that, I have a hard time being okay with losing to the Bears or Vikings twice in the year. '07 still bugs me a little with the Bears.

Dale bitching about the bitching is one of my favorite features of the chat.

It's like bitching squared or something.

I sincerely doubt the majority of Packer fans are ok with losing to the Vikings, or any division rival for that matter. I thought that was just understood. However, it's a new season. Sure, the Vikings are better than us until we beat them. I'm fine with that. That wasn't the original point of this argument. I have faith that our team can at LEAST split with the Vikings this year (if we bring our A game) and I'm not going to let a Vikings fan tell me differently . . . at least until it happens again.

Sure them losing in the NFC Champ. game isn't a consolation. But it's better then them winning the super bowl in my opinion, if for no other reason I'm a Saints fan and I love the city. So if the Packers can't win the super bowl, then I move onto other, less important alternatives.

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
