Tarkenton on Favre · PACKERSHOME

For your reading pleasure.

I think its despicable. What he put the Packers through last year was not good, said Tarkenton, who played for the Vikings from 1961-66 and again from 1972-78. Heres an organization that was loyal to him for 17, 18 years, provided stability of organization, provided players. It just wasnt about Brett Favre. In this day and time, we have glorified the Brett Favres of the world so much, they think its about them. He goes to New York and bombs. Hes 39 years old. How would you like Ray Nitschke in his last year [playing for] the Vikings, or I retire, and go play for the Packers? I kind of hope it happens, so he can fail.

I picked that up this morning and rattled it a little.. then decided not to post it here to let the Favre talk die down.. however I did post it for our Purple friends that are rooting for Brett to take the reins... :lol:

Source.. Insiders Blog...

* Will Brett Favre play for the Vikings or not? According to a poll conducted by one national firm, many Minnesotans hope he doesn't. Rasmussen Reports found only 29 percent of Minnesotans want Favre to play for the Vikings, and 44 percent say they would be less likely to support public financing for a stadium if he does.

I also saw this. To be fair, I would say that the opinions I've heard (talking to folks around town or listening to local sports talk radio) are fairly balanced.

The ones who don't want him to come here REALLY don't want him to come here, though. They're a fair bit nastier than anyone on this site about it.

Then again, if he comes here and they win, everyone in this state (well, other than the Vikes fans who post on this site) will love it - I can guarantee you that, regardless of what they're saying now.

The reason I posted this is I was shocked that FRAN FRICKIN TARKENTON was so brutal and held no punches.

I did not look at this as another so so, hmm hmm... comment from another reporter.

This is Fran Tarkenton. Arguably the Face Of The Franchise in Vike Land.

Personally I do not like it. Some things should be left un-said, or at least watered down if you are that much a face of an era in the game.

"I hope he fails" That is just not right.

Is Fran trying to protect himself. After all he is still the last Franchise QB the Vikings have had. LOL

I have no problem with posting it.... I think also Fran went a little overboard... but it is interesting no doubt.

Can you imagine if Favre took them to the Super Bowl and won it.. something Franny boy couldn't get done..

Personally as you said, somethings are better left unsaid...

Fran is "No Saint"

He states it is all about "The Team" Well that has to do with life and business, not just football.

It was about 7 or 8 years ago he was charged for securities fraud and ripping off shareholders of the company he was C.E.O. of.

I will google it.

Edit: Correction... 10 years ago. If I bought stock in that company... I would be pissed in a big way.

Well.....Tarkenton has the right to give his opinion about Brett. After all, they are both the same age, right???
