Posted in Brett Favre, Minnesota Vikings | 19 comments
That’s the $16.5 million question, I guess. Brett Favre had the best season of his career at age 40 for the Minnesota Vikings, last season. He threw for 4,202 yards, the third highest total of his career. He threw for 33 touchdowns, which is tied for the fourth highest in his career. Most impressively, he [...]

At the end of every summer, the Green Bay Packers end up cutting a couple veteran players whose release comes as a surprise. Last year, it was receiver Ruvell Martin and safety Anthony Smith. Here’s a list of several players who could potentially be on that list this year. Justin Harrell, defensive tackle — The [...]
Like The Rest Of Us, Favre Has No Respect For Brad Childress

Apparently, the real reason Brett Favre was thinking about not returning to the Minnesota Vikings had nothing to do with his health. Favre, like the rest of us, has no respect for Vikings’ coach Brad Childress. It makes you wonder — what does it say when a guy who no one has any respect for, [...]

Green Bay Packers strong safety Atari Bigby is unlikely to be ready for the regular season opener, according to Rob Demovsky. Bigby underwent ankle surgery on Aug. 6 and hasn’t participated in training camp after staying away from the Packers offseason activities while he waited for a long-term deal that never materialized. The original timetable [...]

Add Hall of Famer Rod Woodson to the growing list of people who have no respect for Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre. Woodson called out Favre and the Vikings on NFL Total Access, on Tuesday. “This five-year saga, I think, is played out,” Woodson said. “I think a lot of veterans in the National Football [...]

Some time ago, the official site of the Green Bay Packers was redesigned. Someone told me it looked slick and I agreed that it did look decent. The only problem is it doesn’t work for shit. It’s like I ordered an escort that looks like Kim Kardashian and they sent over Khloe with a paper [...]
Brett Favre: Not About Money

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre does not play for money, but he will sure as hell take that additional $3.5 million you want to throw at him. No, Brett Favre clearly stated earlier this month that if Brett Favre came back to the Minnesota Vikings, he would not be coming back for the money. The [...]
All It Took For Brett Favre To Return Was A Tug Job From Jared Allen

Brett Favre is a stupid fucking scumbag, but we’re contractually bound to tell you he’s going to play for the Minnesota Vikings this season. Favre boarded a plane earlier today, which is said to be on its way to Minnesota. We hope it crashes. Even though the Vikings were feigning ignorance — which, let’s face [...]

A lot of people like undrafted rookie free agent cornerback Sam Shields. He’s not only received a lot of coverage in the media, but both coaches and players have gone out of their way to praise his playmaking ability and his commitment to learning the game. Shields has blazing speed and as they say, you [...]

We don’t put a lot of stock in preseason football, but it’s clear after the Green Bay Packers 27-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Saturday night the Packers defense needs to address some issues. By the time the starters departed in the second quarter, the Browns had a 21-14 lead. The game seems eerily [...]

Former Green Bay Packers tight end Mark Chmura called current Packers tight end Jermichael Finley a moron during his weekly radio show last week. Chmura was irritated by comments Finley made after the Packers scrimmage, last Saturday. During an interview, Finley yelled “Super Bowl” and “Dallas, Texas,” which is where this year’s Super Bowl will [...]

I don’t usually pay much attention to stuff like this, but I found it interesting that in a simulation of the 2010 season on Madden 11, the Green Bay Packers fared pretty well. In the simulation, the Packers finished with a 12-4 record and won the NFC North. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was named NFL MVP [...]

You knew it was true and now, so does ESPN’s Chris Mortensen. I have to give Kyle credit for pointing this out, but if you watch this video on Mort’s visit to Minnesota Vikings training camp, you’ll notice at the end Mortensen mentions that someone stole all of the autographed decals off the side of [...]

Spencer Havner was a linebacker in college and spent his first couple years in the NFL at the same position before switching to tight end prior to last season. Havner looked like he had found a home at tight end — entering training camp No. 2 on the depth chart — and had carved out [...]

Listen up people, this is the year Green Bay Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk, the fifth player chosen in the 2006 NFL Draft, finally breaks through and turns into the playmaking force he was supposed to be coming out of college. That’s right, this is A.J. Hawk’s year. You knew there would be some of this [...]

The Green Bay Packers have released their first depth chart, which gives us a good idea of who is and who isn’t performing well. It also sheds some light on who is playing where. On the offensive side of the ball there aren’t any big surprises. Most notable is that Donald Lee has regained the [...]
