Of course he'll start; gotta keep that record alive.

Yeah, but he'll still play. He's just havin' fun like a kid out there bein' the ol' gunslinger.

It's time to rap
about a controversy
Gonna take a stand,

To hear the latest scores
From a bunch of old broad-casting

So get your scores
From a guy like me
Who knows the meaning of words
Like "groin in-ju-ry."

He's playing like a gunslinger out there, taking shots at kids.

Here we go, here's Favruh's debilitating injury that will cost him his gunslinging ways, and begins the last-half season slide that will result in yet ANOTHER tearful press conference that he may-might-possibly retire/unretire. Maybe.

Yes, the MVP of the current NFL season is a big wuss. Or something.

I'd pick Breesus. Peyton hasn't been lights out especially last week. He looked genuinely bad at times. I haven't seen that from Brees yet.

Anyway, Favre doesn't use his groin to handoff to AP does he? If not then suit him up.

Peyton Manning, after living a full life, died and went to heaven. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Colts flag in the window.

"This house is yours for eternity, Peyton," said God. "This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here."

Peyton felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3-story mansion with a black and gold sidewalk, a 50-foot tall flagpole with an enormous Saints logo flag.

Peyton looked at God and said "God, I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was an all-pro QB, I hold many NFL records, and I even went to the Hall of Fame."

God said "So what's your point Peyton?"

"Well, why does Drew Brees get a better house than me?"

God chuckled, and said "Peyton, that's not Drew's house, it's mine."

I would put 1% of the blame on Brett and the other 99% on the media falling all over themselves to be the first to print the news that he is either retiring or coming back.

I'm sure he doesn't mind because he does all the press conferences, but how many ESPN reports came out in the past 3 years that were only, "I heard from a guy, who knows a guy, that knows a guy, that cut Brett's lawn who said Brett told him that is 100% staying retired". Then after that a nothing report like that it was 10 minutes of Favre highlights, analysts debating where he stands as greatest QB of all time, etc.

Wednesday Nov 7 2007 CNBC is already calling AP purple Jesus (new window)

2wolves: Ya may want to look at the Saints for a much better QB, let alone MVP.

can you intelligently defend the statement, "much better QB"

unclejimbo827: This is why Brett Favre is awesome. Let the hatred flow!

I don't hate Favre at all.

I hate the announcing crews and commentators that make the games close to unwatchable by constantly talking about how amazing he is, or giving credit to him for everything good that happens on the field, or interjecting during non-Vikings games about how Favre-like some play was.

Lt. Cheese Weasel: Not sure about that, been on plenty of sunday fubol threads all referring to Favre as Purple Jesus.

I'm sure about it. AP was purple jesus before favre became a viking. then you get your numbnutses stumbling into a football thread and they assume people are talking about favre and repeat the errior thereby further confusing the issue.

Quasar: I hate the announcing crews and commentators that make the games close to unwatchable by constantly talking about how amazing he is

A. I agree

B. to be fair they lay it on pretty thick about any qb who throws a bunch of td's or wins 3 games in a row but now you're hypersensitive to favre and it bugs you more when it's him. Go watch a steelers, pats, colts, chargers, saints game and listen how many times they slobber on roethlisberger, brady, manning, rivers and brees.

C. I must admit, 16 picks against 3 td's after 8 games at 40 farking years old with a new team is.... amazing. They've been playing football a long time but I don't think anyone has done this before. And if they had I'm pretty sure the announcers wouldn't shut up about it.

D. Don't worry about it - the only thing the media loves more than building them up is tearing them down. Anything short of a SB he'll probably get crucified so you have that to look forward to.

Favre is the 3rd best QB playing every sunday. And he's been the most consistent throughout the whole season. He doesn't have the massive gross passing yardage that Schaub or Peyton has, but Favre is one of the tops in YPCompletion, #1 in TD/Int ratio, #2 in rating, #3 overall in touchdowns, and most importantly, #3 in wins this season, losing only to last year's world champs.

He was brought into a perfect situation for him to excel and he's done just that. With only 2 games in cold weather coming up, (CHI and CAR) there's a very real chance that the Vikings will be representing the NFC in the Super Bowl (Assuming the Vikings have home field until they play the Saints in the NFC Champ game).

I'd keep playing football if I knew I could do my job better than all but 2 or 3 people on the planet. Also, I'd be petrified if I had 30+ years of retirement looking at me in the face.

/FYI I have Rodgers on my Fantasy team.

As a creationist, I believe that the real Purple Jesus, Bret Favre, placed the Purple Jesus moniker on AP in the past to help separate the believers and the non-believers

/One must have faith
//and have fun out there, like a kid
///and sling guns or something.

Looking at the Vikings overall Yardage compared to Points scored is pretty remarkable. Makes you realize just how dominant that D and Percy Harvin are.

Thats called earning it son. Hate on Favre all you want for whatever reasons, even though they may be misguided. But to try and discredit what hes doing this year is a farking joke. The guy is on fire. Hes playing ridiculously well. And I find your believe in anything but that, laughable. So to sum up, stop getting your sports info from the gossip columns and learn the game.

They slobber, but nobody gets credit for other people's rushing touchdowns more than Brett Favre.

Quasar: They slobber, but nobody gets credit for other people's rushing touchdowns more than Brett Favre.

I'll take your word for it. But I'm telling you the next 40 year old to put together a half season like Favre will get the same treatment. Of course it might not happen for the next 50 years, but you'll see.

I see that they're already manufacturing excuses for when he repeats last year's second half of the season.

Quasar: They slobber, but nobody gets credit for other people's rushing touchdowns more than Brett Favre.

After the 1st two games you may have had a point. Like it or not somewhere around week 3 something changed (AP couldn't get the yards he had been getting) and Favre took over. Favre did nothing the first couple weeks of the season. Since then he has been better than anyone could have hoped.

Of course there are 8 games left to go, plus playoffs, etc. Anything less than NFC championship game will be a letdown. Anything more (getting to or winning the Super Bowl) will be an achievement.

You guys are under the impression that I'm criticizing Favre despite the fact that I pretty clearly said it has nothing to do with him directly, but the announcers. Tebow also. He seems like a good kid, he can play well, and I have nothing against him. It's the commentators who talk about him constantly as if his every breath revives his teammates... that gets annoying.

And yes, on several occasions, they gave Favre credit for Adrian Peterson's runs and touchdowns. Peterson punches in a 12 yard run into the end zone, and the first thing an announcer said was pretty much "And that is the skill of Brett Favre right there."

vinnydoz007: Thats called earning it son. Hate on Favre all you want for whatever reasons, even though they may be misguided. But to try and discredit what hes doing this year is a farking joke.

Manning is doing more with less, which is why I think it makes him more valuable than either of the other two.

Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark are less? The Colts may have the worse run game, but as far as recievers are concerened. I dont think anyone would say the Vikings are beating the Colts in that category.

A great running game makes your passing game much better. Ask Dan Marino. Having AP makes Favre's job a lot easier.

No they don't. And I get that you're not hating on Favre here, but I seriously have no idea what you're talking about.

I know that the announcers fellate Favre (and many other QB's) and give them more credit in this "team" sport, but I'm going to have to throw out: CITATION NEEDED. Giving Favre credit for the drive maybe, for the actual runs and TD's. I don't think it's quite that bad.

The AP touchdown happened on at least one occasion, and I remember several more rushing plays where he was given credit. I'm not going to scan through every Sunday NFL thread we've had this season looking for them, though, but a number of people were expressing their irritation when it happened.

You are entitled to your skepticism, in any case.
