Brett Favre Thinks He’s Vince Lombardi
Jun 15th
Brett Favre compared himself to Vince Lombardi. That’s the biggest thing I pulled from the former Green Bay Packer’s appearance on Joe Buck Live, Monday night. And this, well, makes me despise that shitbag even more. When asked how he would respond to fans who questioned how he could play for one of the Packers [...]
Brett Favre Fail!
Jun 15th
I thought that since former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre is a guest on the first episode of Joe Buck Live, tonight, I’d post this beauty. And by beauty, I mean complete Fail! We’ll be waiting on the edge of our seats to hear what Favre has to say tonight (actually, we won’t be [...]
Favre The Diva
Jun 13th
No, this is not another Brett Favre rant about how he is screwing Green Bay Packers fans. This is a little bit on the lighter side, though, still about Brett Favre. On our Twitter stream (which you can follow @TotalPackers), we came across @favrethediva the other day. In some cases, accounts are created just to [...]
The Great Brett Favre Standoff: ESPN vs. Fox Sports Deux
Jun 11th
It’s like two great fighters going up against each other, only they’re slinging words at each other rather than punches. And one of them is a bloated, arrogant behemouth that might be past his prime. I am, of course, speaking of the he said, she said commentary going back and forth between ESPN and Fox [...]
Favre, Favre, Favre… and Benedict Arnold
Jun 8th
Yes, it’s the daily update on your former Green Bay Packers’ hero about to become Benedict Arnold, Brett Favre. Before I point out the obvious, and broach a subject that is sure to incite rage in some Packers fans, let’s catch up with the news on the almighty Favre. Yesterday, it was revealed the Favre [...]
Brett Favre Has Surgery on Injured Shoulder
Jun 7th
In the surest sign yet that former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre will play football for the Minnesota Vikings this season, ESPN has reported Favre has undergone shoulder surgery. Favre had arthroscopic surgery to repair a torn biceps tendon, but remains uncommitted about playing because the shoulder isn’t 100 percent, according to the ESPN [...]
Fran Tarkenton Is Pissed: An Ode To The NFL Writers
May 28th
While there isn’t a Minnesota Vikings player that we like, Fran Tarkenton is making a concerted effort to be the first. What the hell are you blathering about? Tarkenton, the greatest quarterback (and possibly player), to ever don the putrid purple of the Minnesota Vikings has been making the radio show rounds the past two [...]
Vikings Fans vs. Cubs Fans
May 22nd
I’m going to go a little off topic today. First, it’s goddam near Memorial Day, and I’m in a summer sort of mood. Second, the Milwaukee Brewers are one of the hottest teams in baseball, and while the Brewers are not the Green Bay Packers, they are the #1 baseball team here at Total Packers. [...]
Brett Favre Update: Day 576
May 11th
As you know, we really love writing about Brett Favre this time of year, instead of the Green Bay Packers, but I would be remiss if I didn’t at least mention what has (or has not, depending on who you’re reading) gone down since Friday. First, you may recall the seemingly conflicting reports from last [...]
ESPN: Favre Could Play For Vikings If Healthy
May 8th
Just when we were going to go and write something non-Brett Favre related, when we thought that Brett Favre was really retired for good, when our hatred for the Minnesota Vikings had been reduced from a boil to an offseason simmer, ESPN came out with the report that Brett Favre could still play for the [...]

An Open Letter To Brett Favre
May 6th
Dear Brett, With each passing day, it appears more and more likely that you will in fact return – again – to play in the NFL. This time around with one of the crappiest franchises in pro sports, the Minnesota Vikings. Are you seriously going through with this? I mean, after last year’s fiasco of [...]
Surprise! Favre To Meet With Childress About Comeback

Never saw this coming. Never in a million years. ESPN’s Ed Werder is reporting that Brett Favre will meet with Minnesota Vikings’ coach Brad Childress to discuss a possible comeback.

Although I personally have no idea what goes through the head of Brett Favre, word out of New York is that Brett Favre wants to stick it to the Green Bay Packers by playing with the Minnesota Vikings. “Favre can’t stand Green Bay,” a source told the New York Daily News’ Gary Myers. “He wants [...]

From the files of The Story, And Person, That Just Wouldn’t Go Away comes the nugget that one Brett Lorenzo Favre has gained his release from the New York Jets, clearing the way for him to sign with any NFL team should he decide to unretire… again. So, let’s say Favre gets the itch to [...]
The View to the West: A Look at the Minnesota Vikings
Mar 24th
Since there has been minimal Green Bay Packers news for us to talk about or rumors to speculate about lately, we thought we’d take a look at our hated rivals to the west, the Minnesota Vikings, aka the Queens, and the idiotic moves they’ve been making this offseason. Last week the Queens lost former Packers [...]
Sage Rosenfels – Get to Know Him
Feb 23rd
Why should you care about the second-string quarterback for the Houston Texans? Because reports suggest that Sage Rosenfels is about to be become a Minnesota Viking, and he’s a big upgrade over the two-headed monster known as Tarvaris Jackson/Gus Frerotte. The deal is rumored to be for a fourth-round draft choice, and would considerably shore [...]
The Vikings to Los Angeles?
Jan 22nd
We’ve talked about the hated Minnesota Vikings stadium and revenue issues before, but once again, the Minneapolis media is mentioning the possibility of the Vikings moving to Los Angeles. Other than the fact that the state of Minnesota hasn’t ponied up for a new stadium for the Vikings, like they did for the Twins, this [...]
Vikings Make Playoffs, No One Cares
Dec 31st
Since someone from the NFC North had to make the playoffs, and the Green Bay Packers managed to suck it up enough to descend into the nether regions of the league, the NFL let the Minnesota Vikings in after they narrowly got by the New York Giants junior varsity on Sunday. Yeah, the VIkings inspiring [...]
Cowboys Ready to Implode, Vikings Ready to Suck
Dec 12th
It’s hard to find silver linings in the 2008 NFL season lately, but the misfortune of the Green Bay Packers’ sworn enemies definitely qualifies. First, to Dallas, where the Cowboys are getting ready to implode because of guess who? The ubiquitous Terrell Owens – who else? It seems that TO isn’t on the same page [...]
