It sells like Orange Fanta to Goalline.

With Favre, on the other hand, I do know what he is, and I do know what he will be -- and that's an old quarterback waiting to break down as the season wears on. Favre turns 40 this year, and old quarterbacks get hurt, throw interceptions and, basically, have trouble making it through an entire season. Favre offered a demonstration a year ago when he self-destructed down the stretch with the New York Jets, throwing two touchdown passes and nine interceptions in their final five games -- four of which they lost.
Favre will do for the Vikings what he did for the Jets, and that's sink the ship. There might be flashes of the old Brett early, with Favre winging the ball downfield to Percy Harvin or Bernard Berrian, but watch how his deliveries start to flutter as the season wears on and he absorbs more and more hits.
Of course, Minnesota has Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor, so the Vikings won't have to rely so much on Favre. But he still must throw, and he must throw in big games. And if he does what he wants and not what the Vikings need, Minnesota is cooked.

Actively practicing as we speak.
Talk about moving fast...

It's still hilarious he throws out a "feeling" that's the same thought umpteen other people have had and it generates 7 pages discussion in about 12 hours just on this board. Glazer simply brought it up again at the time so many said Favre would sign. That Favre signs now really isn't a big surprise, but all the people nutslurping Glazer for bringing up the same thing so many others have is really funny. As I said, Hungry5 (among others) was well ahead of him. quote:Originally posted by Herschel:
Hungry5 said he'd sign now two weeks ago.

He signed, so what? Hungry5 said he'd sign now two weeks ago. That makes Glazer late to the party.
Favre sells because so many take it so seriously. Why should he retire and why shouldn't a team want him? Think of all the jerseys and merchandise rolling off the racks now. Look at all the buzz it creates. This is golden for the NFL.

I like when condescension gets pooped on the very next day.
Oh... and Glazer is, once again, money. On the media side of things, ESPN blew up this story yesterday when Schefter arrived and pooped on it, obviously setting the table for making Glazer look stupid. Bummer when that POS network has egg on its face as well.

Heck, for all we know Bert fed this story to Glazer and said "have a little fun with it".

Perfect. Every year it seems that the Queenies find a new way to set themselves up for colossal failure. This is just this year's method - an idiot coach and a washed up fool for a QB. Perfect match.

Does any one else find it odd that Chilly picked Favre up at the airport?
Maybe I'm nitpicking, but it just seems that just about any other team in the league would send some nobody to take care of it.
Doesn't CKA have anything better to do? Was the team practicing during this time period?

Roethlisberger has already won 2 SB's. Brady, Elway, Montana, Aikman, Plunkett, Montana, Bradshaw, Staubach, Griese -- all won 2 or more SB's.
Brad Johnson, Dilfer, Rypien, Hostetler -- won the same number of SB's as Brent Faver. Whoop-de-freakin'-doo.
