OFFICIAL NFL thread

OK....This sounds absolutely nuts, but, I am actually very happy that the Vikes blew today's game. There is nothing I would rather see in the first round of the playoffs than the Vikes at Lambeau . We all know that both teams hate each other :mad: , their fans hate each other :mad: (for NFL purposes, not in real life), as seen in the first two games-the teams are equally matched, and REVENGE is like the sweetest joy next to getting pussy (Makavelli). If the Vikes would have played Seattle or St. Louis in the first round, :rolleyes: not that huge. Fudge Packers vs. the Vikes....Now that's football.

Vikes win = <u>Redemption </u> for the whole season.
Vikes lose = big deal, the season was pretty much full of disappointments.

ps...the Vikes won't lose!

Nate Burleson dropped that open TD pass for a reason, he watned to play Green Bay again.

Adam Goldberg is still my hero

[Pony_Racer]

something bugs me about the brett favre hating you guys do.....for one where do you get off saying he beats his wife?....his wife's got cancer...and ya know he doesnt even have to play but he does for her and his team and thats something no other douche bag QB is doing!!....i mean i'm not like royally pissed off or anything just find it annoying that you guys hate a QB so much better than yours lol....:D

[STiSchucky]

Im sorry, did you just say favres better then culpepper? i wouldnt go that fa

[Pony_Racer]

well of course you wouldnt...i would.....stats wise culpepper had the better year....but overall as a QB it would be kinda ignorant to say favre isnt better.

no comment from me. just laughs

[Pony_Racer]

or that you just hate GB too much to admit it....thats very possible as well lol

[PSiedTSi]

no but honestly brett favre is highly overrated...listen to almost every commentator...dont get me wrong hes a reliable QB but he doesnt come even close to entering into Daunte's game...

[Guest]

Brett Favre is overrated. I do agree with that. I hate Green Bay; #1 there rivals. #2 because I support the Vikes and you still got people from ND/MN liking GB; come on, where the Bear fans at??? Neways..... The only respect I got for them is that the State owns the team but there all Cheese-Heads! Crap; IMO Vikes have more talent than GB.... Guess 1st playoff game we'll find out...

[Pony_Racer]

apart from him being (overated) which isnt his fault in the first place its everyone trying to kiss his ass. Favre may not be that great this year..and culpepper def was the better QB of the two THIS YEAR!!!.....but favres record and stats and broken records far surpass that of what culpepper will ever do imo.

[Guest]

But Culpepper is new to the game.. Favre's been in it for a few years.. And Culpepper is breaking records too.. And I am sure he will keep doing it. Probably in the end have better stats than Favre during his career than Favre.

I've said it before (probably 10 times in this thread alone) that MN has better PLAYERS but GB has a better TEAM.

As for the whole overrated thing, think about it this way. When Michael Jordan was playing with the Wizards his team sucked and he wasn't doing as well as when he played for the Bulls. That doesn't mean that he wasn't the best player to ever step on the court. And now we have LeBron James stepping up and might just be a better player than Jordan even, but that doesn't mean that jordan was overrated now does it?

Jordan = deserving, as he was the best ever.
Favre = built up to be something that he is not and never was.

Oh, and at least Favre hasn't attempted to run over any meter maids unlike a certain highly overrated (but still talented) WR whose name is appropriately the same as the fungus that grows on the side of a tree where the sun doesn't shine.....

[Guest]

I'm not saying Favre is the greatest ever, not even close. But he is hall of fame material. He isn't the most accurate anymore, but he still finds ways to lead his team to victory. Thats the only stat that really matters imo.

[HandoEX]

Favre gets sooo much praise and adoration because of the demeanor he has, not because of what he does on the field. Certain people see him foolishly as this great representative of football, a "Good Ole Boy". Yeah, his father passed away a day before Monday Night Football. Well...athletes perform after losing family members all the time. Why was such a huge deal made when Brett's Dad died?
I guess my biggest problem with Favre is that NFL announcers usually only remember what they want to remember.....the positive things he has done and they exploit them to an almost superhuman level. No announcers or analysts ever mention the fact that he makes many terrible decisions (see last 3 Packer playoff games) or the fact that he was addicted to drugs.

If Brett Favre would have done that all the blame would have been put on the meter maid.....and you know this to be true.
The media exploits certain things.
They protect players they like and expose players they don't like. Things can get blown out of proportions for someone like Moss and hardly mentioned for someone like Favre. Imo, of course :rolleyes: .
