Making Brett Favre Predictions
May 4th
Yes, we still think Brett Favre will play quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings this year despite any sort of surgery he may have to have. With that said, this whole deal of making predictions or sitting around and waiting until Favre makes a decision is often an entertaining business. For example, I had to chuckle [...]
Barnett Wants Another Shot At Favre
May 2nd
Green Bay Packers’ linebacker Nick Barnett put the memo out via Twitter — he wants another shot at Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Brett Favre. Somebody tell Brett to have that surgery so I can make up for last year!!! As we reported on Thursday, Favre will need ankle surgery if he plans to play in 2010. [...]
What A Real Packers Fan Thinks About Brett Favre
May 1st
You probably know how we feel about Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Brett Favre. If you don’t, then you either haven’t been paying attention or you’re a scumbag Vikings’ fan. With that said, this video delighted me. The description reads like this: So while at south by southwest, I was filming for work. This guy saw my [...]
Favre Needs Ankle Surgery To Play
Apr 30th
Much like it did last offseason, the debate around whether or not Brett Favre will play quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings will center on whether or not Favre elects to have surgery. Last year Favre needed to have a torn biceps tendon repaired to play. This year he’ll need surgery on the grotesquely swollen ankle [...]
Favre Still Hurting, But Vikings Think He’ll Play Two More Years
Apr 24th
Will he or won’t he? It has pretty much been a foregone conclusion around these parts that Lord Brett Favre would return for the 2010 season to play quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. But not so fast, apparently. Steve Mariucci, Favre’s quarterbacks coach during his early years with the Green Bay Packers and close friend, [...]
A Word About Athletes and Women
Apr 17th
Remember when your pro sports heroes were good, wholesome, family-oriented men who threw touchdown passes during the season and posed for photos with their wife, kids and dog on the family ranch in the offseason? Well, those days are gone. Now, your heroes are more like, well… me. And I’ve never set a good example [...]
Favre Gives Vikings Wranglers, No Answers
Apr 16th
He hasn’t decided if he’ll return for a second season, but Brett Favre did let his Minnesota Vikings’ teammates know one thing this week — he’s a cheap ass mofo. Players participating in offseason workouts — obviously, this wouldn’t include Favre — returned to team headquarters in Eden Prairie, Minn., to find a pair of [...]
Favre A Grandfather, Brittany Still Hot
Apr 6th
Minnesota Vikings’ and former Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Brett Favre is a grandfather. That’s right. His 21-year-old daughter Brittany recently gave birth to a son. Hey, they live in Mississippi – there’s nothing to do but drink and fuck. Those of you who live in Wisconsin should already know this. And those of you who [...]
McNabb To Vikings Still Possible, But Doesn’t Seem Likely
Mar 27th
We first mentioned the possibility of Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback Donovan McNabb becoming a member of the Minnesota Vikings back in January and now the rumor is flying around again. The Eagles have reportedly been discussing potential McNabb trade scenarios because they have a wealth of signal callers. In addition to McNabb, the Eagles have Kevin [...]
Favre Traded to Packers Because He Was A Drunk
Mar 19th
Then Green Bay Packers general manager Ron Wolf got a steal when he sent the 19th pick to the Atlanta Falcons for quarterback Brett Favre in 1992. Neither the Packers or Falcons knew then what Favre would become, but former Falcons coach Jerry Glanville says he decided to move Favre for one reason – he [...]
A Sure Sign Brett Favre Will Play in 2010
Mar 15th
Not many of us who pay close attention to the comings and goings of Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre have much doubt he’ll play in 2010, but then, you don’t want to jump to conclusions until he says so himself. Today there is word out of New York, where the New York Jets signed running [...]
Tractor Watch 2010 Continues
Mar 5th
In perhaps the most unshocking news of the offseason, Brett Favre told Jay Leno on “The Tonight Show” he still doesn’t know if he’ll play again next season, and made it clear a decision won’t be coming anytime soon. Pressed for his thoughts on playing in 2010, Favre said “Well Jay, it’s only been a [...]
Guy Who Took Out Favre Ad = Idiot
Mar 3rd
Well, it turns out our suspicions have been confirmed. Ben Nelms, the guy from Madison who paid $1719.90 for a full-page color ad in the Hattiesburg American urging Brett Favre to play one more season for the Minnesota Vikings, is probably more ignorant than even the average Vikings fans. Deadspin broke down the Favre ad [...]
Leno, Favre Have A Lot In Common
Feb 25th
Jay Leno returns to “The Tonight Show” after the Winter Olympics, and one of his first guests is a great one: Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre. His appearance is listed for March 4 on the show’s Web site. It will be one of Favre’s first public appearances since — literally — throwing away the Vikings’ [...]
Another Ad For Lord Favre
Feb 25th
Maybe it’s the 49 years of ineptitude. Maybe it’s having never won the Super Bowl. Maybe it’s the inferiority complex instilled by the success of their eastern neighbor, the Green Bay Packers. Actually, who am I kidding? It’s all of these things that make Minnesota Vikings fans who they are. And so, you get shit [...]
Vikings’ Leber: Favre Will Be Back
Feb 23rd
It’s that time of year again. The time of year when the draft is still two months away and free agency hasn’t started yet. So, we might as well talk about Lord Brett Favre and whether he’ll come back to play for the Minnesota Vikings next season. For one, Vikings’ linebacker Ben Leber says he [...]
The Ballad of Brett Favre
Feb 22nd
It’s a tale of treachery and deceit. Just kidding. A couple of yahoos from the Dirty South have composed this number about our favorite quarterback, Lord Brett Favre. I think hokey is the first word that comes to mind, but give it a whirl for yourself. Strange, but in the video and song there’s no [...]
Brett Favre’s Coming Back, No He Isn’t, And Other Favre Notes
Feb 15th
If you take the time to sift through all of the mindless blather that is Peter King’s Monday Morning Quarterback column you may eventually come across something that’s interesting to read. Actually, you’ll probably want to stab yourself in the eyes if you try to do this, so just let trained professionals like us sift [...]
Packers Are 12/1 To Win 2011 Super Bowl
Feb 9th
Since this year’s football season and Super Bowl are over, we may as well turn our attention to next season. On Monday, Vegas got in on the act by releasing their opening lines for teams to win Super Bowl XLV. The Green Bay Packers opened at 12/1, giving them the sixth best chance to win [...]
They’re Not Too Excited About the Super Bowl in Minnesota
Feb 6th
We had to have a chuckle at ESPN’s Sports Nation poll, the other day. Not because it was a predictably stupid question, but because of the results, which showed a distinct disparity between Minnesota and the rest of the nation. The question: How are excited are you for the Super Bowl? The choices: More excited [...]
