Well, I guess Favre is going to try to eclipse George Blanda's record. |

Re: What do nyou make of the Viqueen controversey?
I don't really have a side on this, I understand why Chilly wanted to bench him, and I see why Favre wanted to stay in. A true leader, like Favre, will take the good with the bad and keep at it like a man. Him not wanting to come out is actually a good sign.
I do agree with Favre being somewhat of a butt hole. The way he treated Green Bay for like four years was just a bit much. Retired, not retired, retired, not retired, I mean, WTF? He even pulled that crap with the Vikings this year and I assume will do it again after the playoffs are over. Truth be told, he is the main reason the Vikings are 11-3. There is no way TJ or Sage would have them in this position right now. He is the final piece of the puzzle that may win Minnesota a Super Bowl. |

I think it really boils down to Farve's bigger than life ego. It has taken on a life of it's own.

Sometimes I think Madden only used the words he really enjoyed saying, like "boom" and "pow" and "gruble guubllele Brett Favre"... Records aside, the guy is here for one reason and one reason only. Another ring.... (and maybe some attention) |

But wouldn't you agree 76, that since they have gotten away from the running game, and gone pass happy, they haven't looked as good as they did? Peterson is the key their success, seriously. Now, I just hope they don't listen to me, because I for one am happy they are losing.

Re: What do nyou make of the Viqueen controversey?
I think it's been blown way out of proportion. Favre is there to win a Championship. Not be a franchise player. Favre is a vet and isn't going to let some head coach he hardly has a relationship with try and bench him

Re: What do nyou make of the Viqueen controversey?
Now that is a novel idea you have come up with Ezekial. What an innovative concept. Fire Childress and make Farve the HC/QB. That is brilliant! I think that might work if you have a QB that feels like he is bigger than the whole team or bigger than the whole of the NFL.

Peterson hasn't won games for them like Favre has. Yes, he has 1,200 yards but so do Jones Drew, Stephen Jackson, Thomas Jones and (arguably the best RB in the league right now) Chris Johnson. Any of those teams making the playoffs??? Now, the real question is if Favre can hold up... It's not looking likely right now. |

Let the Viqueeens continue in controversy. I really don't care. All my energy is for the Saints.

Re: What do nyou make of the Viqueen controversey?
Well they stacked the box on AP last season
too, and he still got his yards, and the vikes made the play offs. That was the point childress was trying to make. He wants the running game to continue, even if Brett sees something he doesn't like at the line. |
