So what's the line on Farve retiring for good mid-season?

[massphatness]

I see rainbows to Moss as why he DOES finish the year. The self-absorbed, narcissist cares only about the TDs he throws and seemingly not at all about the picks. The national media reverentially refers to him as a "gunslinger" -- a more apt moniker would be "dream killer".

You obviously have no clue what you're talking about. Your statement is such an easy one to let ramble, but couldn't be further from the truth.

Let's keep the discussion about the topic. Leave the personal jabs out of it.

ROFLMAO, where's the personal jab? My comment was 100% on topic.

Sounds to me like a comment on the poster.

I think the point was that everyone is allowed an opinion without being told "they have no clue what they're talking about."
I know Vin pretty good. I'm absolutely certain he has a real good clue about everything he's talking about.
If I disagreed with him, I'd ask him why he thought that way, because I'd value his input, and appreciate his insight. It's probably a more respectful way to handle a disagreement, whatever it may be.

In my own self-absorbed way I hope Favre makes it all the way through this season. I've said since his bullshit prima donna pre-season behavior that he wasn't going to lead the Vikings anywhere but down this season. As a Bear fan this comes in handy to only have two teams that matter in the NFC North.

However I don't think his body is going to hold up. One more good shot to that ankle like he got from the Bears at the end of last season and it's doneski.

Plus he isn't bright enough to realize that taking pictures of your junk only impresses 13 year old girls and possibly 5% of the female population over the age of 18. Flag on the play.

Hey there Sugartits, last I checked we are 4-1 and the Pack is 3-2.

Trying to do this on my phone, so I apologize in advance for any sloppiness.*

First off, no offense taken. Not having a clue is often how Grace describes me. I didn't take it as a personal shot but rather thought I may have touched a nerve based on the response. If Volusianator and Favre are buds, I can understand his jumping to #4s defense. *I am just as prone to sometimes blindly defending my friends even when the situation may not be fully warranted.*

I do not know Brett Favre. I am not in a position to have first-hand knowledge of his motivations and interactions with any of his four NFL teams. *In that sense, I suppose I don't have a clue.*

I do know what my eyeballs tell me though. *And my eyeballs tell me Favre is a me-first player who's agenda begins and ends with Brett Favre. *Does he have a passion for the game? *Probably, but it's not mutually exclusive of his narcissitic personality. Favre's all about winning? *Maybe. *So long as he's the reason for the winning. My eyeballs tell me he wants to be throwing the football and scoring on spectular, improvised plays. *He does not, for example, want to hand the ball off to AP 25 times a game - even if that gives the TEAM the best shot at winning. *There are guys who crave the ball in their hand with the game on the line. I believe Favre is one of those guys. But I also believe he consistently puts his team in the position where he needs to "lead" them back because he doesn't play smart: *he plays for the greater glory of Brett Favre.

I used to respect the guy. I used to buy the whole aw-shucks, gunslinger personnae. But after riding a river of crocodile tears out of Green Bay followed by the pathetic is he or isn't he retirement charades the last few years, I've changed my opinion of the guy. I stand by my assertion that he is a dream killer, and any title chances the Vikes have rest more in the legs of AP than the arm of #4. *Were it not for a guy named Desmond Howard, we'd talk about Favre being the greatest QB never to have won anything.*

I was looking for the footnotes as well!

We all have the right to our opinions, and at the end of the day, all that matters is that we enjoyed our cigars.
