I lost alot of respect for Favre with his retirement antics, which were used to just get his way.
But i don't hate the guy.
I'll cheer for him when he gets into the hall of fame. But i won't cheer for him while he's a Viking. I hope he chokes away the Vikings first real chance at a SB win in a long time.
But if he does win it all, i will be happy for my Viking fan friends. But not for Favre.

Favre to me is just another player. Had I attended the Vikings game at Lambeau this year, I wouldn't have booed the Vikings any louder just because he was on the team. When the opposing team is announced, I boo them, regardless of who is on their team.

I don't think he is the God some make him out to be; and I don't think he is the anti-christ either.

+1 to you for expressing my thoughts precisely -- and much more concisely than I would have.

NoTeam - Stand by your team unless they're a bunch of criminals.

I won't get into how I feel about Favre but I will tell you something about me. I'm a gambler. Every year, I put a lot of money down on football games. Before this season started, I knew Brett would unretire and come to the Vikings. I watched him on the Jets and saw he was still an ellite QB up until the injury, whereas it was painful to watch. I knew if he had surgery, he'd be close to 100% and a 40-year-old Brett Favre is still Brett Favre.

As a gambler, I don't care if the Packers are 0-16 the year before, I NEVER bet against my boys. So I put money on the Packers (25-1 odds) to win the SB. I also put money on the Vikings (8-1 odds) to win it all. It's because of all the NFL teams, the 2008 Vikings had every piece to win the big one except their QBs were bottom 5. You can win the SB with a top 20 QB, but not with a bottom 5 QB. (I'm also an amateur Historian).

So I put my feelings aside and put money on the team I think will win it all. This is the first year I put money on teams before the season started and I'd like to continue this tradition. But I almost always bet. I made big money on the Giants beating the Pats, lost big money on the Colts beating da Bears, and didn't bet on last year's SB.

Root for your team. They got the best chance at winning the big one since, well, ever. They're not going to win it with Tarvaris Jackson, that's fo shizzle. You can hate what Brett Favre did, that's fine. But how can you not love AP, Percy Harvin, and Jared Allen?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago
beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
