Let me put it another way. If Green Bay said to Minnesota, OK we'll trade Favre to you but it's going to take and 1st and 2nd pick this year and a 1st next year. Minne says OK. You wouldn't do it?

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

The Vikings would never trade that much for a QB they'd be lucky to get two years out of. That would be incredible stupid of them if they did. Now, signing him as a free agent, sure, but there's no way they would give up that much for a player for 1-2 years, not even the Vikings.

For God's sake, let's not trade one of our players to the Vikings for a draft pick in a year when the Vikings are our main competition in the division--especially a player who had his career year the last time he played with their QB. Can you imagine how it would look if Lee made a game-wining catch against the Packers, maybe even in the playoffs? No way would Ted or any other GM put himself in that position. The fans would have him tarred and feathered, and rightfully so.

That thinking stopped Ted Thompson from trading Favre to the Queens and he ended up there anyhow. I'm not saying a normal trade, but if the Viking s had given the Packers a 1 and a 3 or more for Favre, we would have Matthews and 3 or 4 more highly drafted players. Maybe we'd have our other pass rushing OLB, a DB, and/or OL. For example, if Minn offered a 2 for Lee, you wouldn't take it?

I thought one of the Queens TEs was injured along with Rice. Or not?

If last year proved anything it was that Ted Thompson was absolutely right to try and keep Favre away from the Vikings.

I'm sure Formo could answer any questions about that trade. Actually, he's probably banging his head against the wall as he's reading this post as he's been in therapy for years trying to forget about that trade.

I get your point, but I was speaking my opinion about the Favre situation, not about anything that has happened in the past. Of course I don't know for a fact what anyone in the world will do, even myself, but that doesn't mean that I can't give an opinion on what I think they might do.

Point being, even Ted Thompson was offering to trade Favre to the Vikings for a couple of firsts and a 2nd, I just don't think it would have happened.

Dang, I should have said "speaking as an amateur historian."

Dodd - Vikings have historically done very stupid things. The Hershel Walker trade was probably the epitome as that trade almost single-handedly turned the late 80s Cows from the worst team to the dominant team of the 90s.

So we can expect Vikings to do something stupid again. That's what I'm getting at.

I do agree with Greg though. There are some things you just don't do and Ted Thompson did everything he could to make sure it didn't happen. But if the offer was up, you can expect the Vikings to do something stupid just as you can expect Al Davis to do something senile.

Martha Careful (3h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (3h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Rude!

beast (7h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (11h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (13h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (15h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
