What Can We Expect From Aaron Rodgers?
Jan 8th
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will make his first playoff start on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. That got me thinking about what we might expect from Rodgers. Sure, it’s reasonable to think Rodgers will go out, be his unflappable self and throw for 250 yards and two touchdowns. However, the real question is [...]
Favre-a Donna Rears His (Big) Ugly Head
Dec 22nd
At least now we know who wears the pants in the Minnesota Vikings organization. And it sure isn’t Brad Childress. In a “heated discussion” rivaling any soap opera or made-for-TV movie, quarterback Brett Favre pulled the diva card Sunday night and refused to come out of Minnesota’s game at the Carolina Panthers after Chilly tried [...]
Welcome to Favre in December, Vikings’ Fans
Dec 7th
Quarterback Brett Favre gave Green Bay Packers’ fans and Minnesota Vikings’ haters around the world an early Christmas present Sunday night, throwing two picks and playing generally like crap in a 30-17 drubbing by the Arizona Cardinals. According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette’s Tom Pelissero, the latest interceptions give Favre 48 picks and 28 TDs [...]
Brett Favre is Fascinating!
Dec 5th
Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Brett Favre is fascinating. One of the 10 most fascinating people of 2009. At least according to Barbara Walters. Favre will appear on Walters’ annual 10 Most Fascinating People show on December 9, which made me wonder… well, first it made me gag, and then it made me wonder… what might she [...]
Bart Starr on Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers
Dec 4th
From one great Green Bay Packers’ quarterback to another. Well, not exactly. Bart Starr was on the Brian Kenny radio program the other day, where he touched on various subjects, including your least favorite ex-Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Brett Favre and our main man, Aaron Rodgers. Interestingly, Starr seemed to infer that Favre’s success this [...]
Troy Aikman Jumps on the Brett Favre Bandwagon
Nov 30th
Since joining Fox Sports as an NFL color commentator in 2001, former Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback Troy Aikman has made little attempt to hide his disdain of the Green Bay Packers and, in particular, the team’s former ageless quarterback, Brett Favre. Maybe it’s because Aikman hated doing so many Packers’ games or because his career was ended [...]
MVP Push Begins For Favre
Nov 24th
During Sunday’s blowout of the Seattle Seahawks fans started the MVP chant for Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Brett Favre. Favre threw four touchdown passes and was 22-of-25 for 213 yards on Sunday. On the season, he’s thrown 21 touchdowns against three interceptions. He also leads the league in quarterback rating at 112.1. Predictably, Favre’s teammates and [...]
Brett Favre: Demoralizing Our Troops
Nov 20th
You know, you’d think this would be one of my assinine, satirical looks at the world of the Green Bay Packers and their sworn enemy, the Minnesota Vikings. Unfortunately, this is a completely true story. Detainees at an Iraqi prison camp staffed by members of the Wisconsin National Guard are using Brett Favre to demoralize [...]
Signs Point to Favre Tormenting Packers Another Year
Nov 17th
A report came out of the Twin Cities today that Brett Favre may be planning on sticking around for another year to torment the Green Bay Packers… I mean, to play quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. Favre is, of course, already signed for $13 million next season, but we all know how the postseason retirement [...]
The Onion Zings Favre Again
Nov 6th
The Onion has summed up what a lot of people have been feeling in their latest Favre blurb.
Favre Didn’t Want to Play for Packers
Nov 2nd
It was a seemingly simple comment made by Troy Aikman during the Green Bay Packers contest with Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but it made me pause nonetheless. Aikman said Brett Favre didn’t want to play for the Packers, anymore. I didn’t really understand it at the time and Thom Brennaman just [...]
Gilbert Brown Would Fart on Brett Favre
Oct 31st
That’s right. The Gravedigger, Gilbert Brown, the 340-pound former Green Bay Packers defensive tackle would fart on Brett Favre. Brown and ESPN First Take host Jay Crawford had this exchange during Friday’s show (ESPN is apparently running a series of former Packers talking about Favre’s return to Lambeau Field – William Hendrson was on the [...]
How to be “Classy” for Brett Favre’s Return
Oct 31st
In anticipation of Brett Favre’s return to Lambeau Field to face the Green Bay Packers for the first time as a member of the Minnesota Vikings, the word “class” has been hanging in the air like an I-was-drinking-Pabst-for-12-hours-straight-yesterday fart. Not only has it lingered, but even when the stench has dissipated, you can’t help but [...]
Henderson Plans to Boo Brett Favre, Too
Oct 30th
Former Green Bay Packers’ fullback William Henderson – or as we always liked to call him, HONDO! – told ESPN’s First Take that he too will boo Minnesota Vikings quarterback when he returns to Lambeau Field on Sunday. Here’s snip of what HONDO! had to say. The full video of the interview follows. “As much [...]
Can’t Get Enough Brett Favre? Just Wait til Sunday
Oct 30th
As much as ESPN’s cheapening of sport continually makes me want vomit, Fox has actually outdone them this time. ESPN: “We got record ratings for a cable program for Brett Favre vs. the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football.” Fox: “Oh yeah, well we’ll see your Favre and raise you a Favre! We’re gonna [...]
Jim Schmitt’s Big Welcome for Brett Favre a Big Letdown
Oct 29th
By now you’ve heard about Green Bay mayor Jim Schmitt’s plans to “welcome back” Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre in a “classy” fashion before the Vikings play the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Schmitt solicited suggestions from the community and the announcement that we was doing so raised plenty of ire among Packers fans. Well, [...]
Longwell Knows the Role of Packers Pariah Well
Oct 28th
If anyone knows what Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre is going through this week as he prepares to return to Lambeau Field for the first time since signing with the purple and gold, it’s teammate Ryan Longwell. Longwell returned to Lambeau as a member of the rival Vikings in 2006 after spending his first nine [...]
Please, Tell Me What To Do When Brett Favre Comes To Town
Oct 27th
Opinions are like assholes — everyone has one. And this week, every asshole with a forum is going to tell you and I how we as Green Bay Packers’ fans should react to the return of Brett Favre. I’ve got news for you. I may be just another asshole with a forum, but I am [...]
We Love You Brett Favre!
Oct 26th
Actually, we only love this Brett Favre, now that he’s a member of the Minnesota Vikings. You know you’ve seen him before – many times. We’re not talking about the game-winning, gun-slinging, playing-for-the-love-of-the-game Brett Favre of Green Bay Packers lore. We’re talking about the interception-throwing, ball-dropping, can’t-quite-pull-it-out-at-the-end Brett Favre of the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings [...]
Favre Bowl II Stupidity Begins to Ramp Up
Oct 21st
I’ve blogged before about the idiotic heights some Green Bay Packers’ fans are reaching in anticipation of Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Brett Favre’s return to Lambeau Field on Nov. 1. In September, Chris Carriveau announced a “purification ceremony” at a “Black Sunday Event” Oct. 31, at which fans can toss their Favre Packers paraphernalia into a [...]
