Brett Favre: Rational Viking Fan View

This is an excerpt from Big Daddy Drew's post over at Kissing Suzy Kolber. He is a Viking Fan.....guess what kind?

"......That was fun. And I’m crazy excited for the press conference later today, when he explains that he changed his mind when really, he didn’t want to bother to do things like get into shape or learn the playbook. BUT THAT’S BRETT FAVRE FOR YOU. HE JUST LOVES THE GAME TOO DAMN MUCH.

YOU MASSIVE SHITBURGLAR. NOW I HAVE TO SPEND A WHOLE GODDAMN YEAR PRETENDING TO WISH YOU WELL WHEN, IN FACT, I HOPE YOU FALL OFF YOUR PORCH AND HAVE YOUR THROAT SLASHED BY A BEER BOTTLE. I FUCKING HATE YOU, YOU FUCK." [Read More]

Brett Favre: The Packer Nativist View

DJ NAKED: Straight outta Wisconsin

Stop the press......

All of the negative Favre news stems from the hick media in WI, which took the Ted
Thompson side of the story. I don't view this as Favre vs Packers, I view this as Favre vs
Ted Thompson. You have to look deeper into the problem to find out the truth. Hating Favre
because of how he's portrayed in the news is the same exact thing as loving Katy Perry or
Justin Timberlake because MTV and the radio tells us to.

At the surface, Favre looks like a wishy washy lil' bitch. I have to admit, I think it's pathetic
how he's handled the situation. Would I be a Vikings fan???---we'll get to that in a bit.

First, let's talk about the real problem, Ted Thompson. His ego gets in the way of his
judgment. Favre is not the first player to clash with him. Mike McKenzie, Javon Walker,
and a few others couldn't get along with him. So what happened??? They were on the next
flight out of town. Thompson puts personal feelings ahead of common sense when making
business decisions. His strategy for building a team is idiotic.

Look at any playoff team that suddenly wins the championship the following year.... Lakers
last season, Bulls the year after Jordan's comeback, Patriots, Packers 1996, Yankees, Miami
Heat with Shaq, and so on and so forth.....

How do they do it??? They built the best team possible for their situation at that time, they
did not build for the future. Building for the future only makes you a really good playoff
team, it won't make you a championship team. Ted Thompson doesn't get that. He doesn't
actively search out the best players for the team.... he plays it safe, too safe.

Let's think back three and a half years. Packers came off a bad season. They needed some-
thing. Randy Moss was in the market for a trade from the Raiders. Packers could have got
him for a 3rd round pick, true story. What happens????? Thompson passed on the
opportunity. The result??? Favre has one of the best seasons of his career, and single-
handedly gets the team to the NFC championship where they lose in overtime. Randy Moss
goes to the Patriots, and all kinds of records were broken up until their loss in the
SuperBowl. If Thompson would have followed though on the Moss deal, the Packers would
have been unstoppable that season. They would have beat the Giants in the NFC
championship, and the Patriots wouldn't have even made it to the SuperBowl.

Within a couple weeks of the loss, Thompson was pressuring Favre for a decision about
retirement. Favre didn't know, and made the wrong decision. When he wanted to come back,
they said he could, but he'd be a back up. Favre said he was willing to compete for the job.
They wouldn't let him. Favre said release or trade me. They said only to an AFC team,
"to protect your legacy." Come ON!!! They were protecting themselves, not his legacy.... He
is still better than Aaron Rodgers, Rodgers is good, but he's not the same. Thompson told
the only 3 time NFL MVP in history and most likely the greatest quarterback ever to f... off.
What an idiot!!!

I hate how Favre has handled this situation though. Basically he isn't 100% sure if he wants
to play, he is trying to get back at Thompson. He also doesn't like training camp much, so if
he does come back still, then that's why he's doing it like this. I'm not saying I agree with that
or like him doing that, but whatever. You should hate Thompson, not Favre.

Now let's talk about being a Vikings fan. I kind of started liking the Vikings 2 years back how
I kind of like the Chargers. Why? They have an exciting game changing player in Peterson, like
the Chargers have LT. How can you not like Peterson??? If you add the fact that I hate
Thompson and how the Packers never make any moves to better themselves outside of the
draft, I find it hard to support the Pack. Why support a team that won't support itself!? It
would be easy to be a Vikings fan if Favre was there, not out of spite, but because they would
be exciting to watch and they'd have two of my favorite players on the team.

SO......Please don't write about how Favre is some kind of giant d-bag.... even if he handled the
situation that way, there is more to it than that. Everyone has already covered that. You'll be
just like the radio saying how Britney Spears is good .....when the rest of us know better. I
challenge you to write an anti-Thompson story, but not a pro-Favre story or anti-Packer
story.

As for your friend who wants a Favre jersey.... who wears jerseys if they aren't in a rap video???

FYI: most people here DO believe everything they hear in the news..... so most Pack fans hate
Favre. On the other hand, I think most people in WI are f...ing wierdos.

Brett Favre: The "My Dad Indoctrinated Me To Root For Green Bay While Living in California" View

The FAV-RUH-POLOGIST

Once a year now for the last few years, historians and FAITHful followers from all over, anxiously await the announcement from the enclave in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

Believers and non-believers gather in hopes of witnessing the white smoke rising from the chimney of our new Messiah. Will BRETT FAVRE return to football? Is HE really going to lead the crusade back to the Holy Lands of Green Bay? Could the believers be right again?

GOD, The SON, The HOLY SPIRIT and BRETT FAVRE.

Is HE about to rise up once again, this time from HIS yearlong crucifixion and complete death in the AFC East. After being sacrificed so the Pack could move on. After being betrayed by Ted Thompson (Pontius Pilate) and Mike McCarthy (Judas). It was business. I get it. Time to be done with HIM and move forward. But Judgment day is coming. A reckoning if you will. It is time to pass judgment on those who have sinned... If HIS resurrection is true, then HE will be having HIS "Last Supper" with his disciples in the NFC North.

At this time He will reveal himself to not only the believers this time, but to ALL non-believers as well. I have always believed in HIM. This story has to be true. Disney nor the Apostles of old could write a better script. Admit it. Now is your chance to take that "leap of faith" everyone. Get on the bus to the clouds while you can, because once it is written...it will be too late.

McCarthy and Thompson will burn at the stake for sure. Don't be left out. There is still time. The Vikings ARE a great football team with or without FAVRE. That is fact. They are not going to ask him to do what Green Bay and the Jets asked him to do. They are not asking HIM to perform miracles and carry entire teams on HIS back, to throw balls 150 yards 50 times a game. "Prove you are the Messiah", they said. "Show us the miracles first", they said. They did not truly have faith.

The Vikings, however, truly believe in HIM. This type of "blind faith" WILL lead to salvation.

If the story is true, "BRETT FAVRE and VIKINGS WIN SUPERBOWL", then our faith in HIM will be seen as Truth. Brett Favre being known as the ONE, true "Greatest Quarterback of All Time" will be historical fact.

BRETT FAVRE'S concern for HIS own "legacy" has never been an issue for HIM. People question HIS faith and loyalty to the almighty Pack. He always believed in them. Had "faith" in them. He always wanted to be with them. HE, will eventually be worshipped by all in Green Bay as well. No offense, [----REDACTED----]. BRETT FAVRE had no choice but to find another team and then another. They called HIM a heretic for what HE was saying and what HE was doing. But HE was just trying to have faith in himself. Faith in Truth. What HE has a chance to do now is to truly be the "The Greatest".

Maybe one day people will stop speaking HIS great name in such blasphemy, and just sit long enough to think for a minute about what they are accusing HIM of; and instead begin to appreciate and SEE what HE truly brings to football. GO VIKINGS and GOD BLESS BRETT FAVRE! LONG LIVE #4.

Dear Patriot Tears #29

"Brett Farve sucks. Always has, except for his first year in 87 when he beat the pats. He's not a gamer. He always throws interceptions in important games. He always tries to force the ball. He has no brain. No smarts for the game. He's not a "Wrangler" guy. He's a dickhead in real life. Why people have loved this guy is a complete mystery to me. I hope he never gets in the hall of fame. Brett is a loser forever and a disgrace to football. A disgrace to the Jets. A disgrace to the Green Bay Packers and a did I mention a dick head in real life? Stuck up ass."

Dear Patriot Tears

Oh, where to begin, TJ:

• Favre beat the Pats in the Superbowl XXXI....played in '97 not '87.
• It was not Brett Favre's first season.
• Merriam-Webster Definition of 'Gamer'--Someone who plays in spite of injuries.
  
• "He's not a 'Wrangler' guy. He's a dickhead....." Doesn't wearing Wranglers make you a dickhead?
• You'll be wasting your time hoping Favre misses out on the Hall of Fame....of course I hoped a lot during Christmas of '85 and a Skateboard miraculously showed up....heck, give it a go!
• Yes. You did mention he was a dickhead in real life....
• Did we mention that Jets/Favre tears = Pussycat Dolls?

"Brett, throw and pray, Favre, strikes again."

Dear Patriot Tears,

More Favre.......wash away your tears with the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls.

Remember, Patriot Fan....every time you cry about Favre and the Jets you get the Pussycat Dolls. Consoling aren't they?

Dear Patriot Tears #22

"AS IF I DIDN'T ALREADY HATE THE JETS ENOUGH... What a disappointment. The fact that the Pats' chances for a post season came down to the final week says a lot about their character and will to win. At least the Jets are out too, even though that is a small consolation."

Posted by Jed1967 December 28, 08 07:46 PM

Dear Patriot Tears,

Let's call a time out.....nearly everyone of these tears was shed after the Jets/Favre blew it and the Pats were eliminated which means there will be a lot of Jet/Favre material as part of this segment. Since the most hate was directed at the Favre led Jets so it seemed necessary to go to an internet gallery and obtain as many Brett Favre pictures as possible.......which brings us to the Pussycat Dolls. In the margin of the particular gallery we were scanning we saw the aforementioned Dolls in some sort of advertisement and came to the following conclusion: Tears about The Jets/Brett Favre= Images of the Pussycat Dolls. This will serve two purposes for We:

1. Myriad Jet/Favre tears will at least be accompanied by a nice picture.
2. WE will see how long WE can go with looking at this girl group yet remain completely oblivious to any member outside of the lead singer.....seriously.....if I was mugged by any of the other 5 members (I had to scroll up and look at the picture because I was sure that there was only 4 other members...wow...blinders!) and got a perfect look at their faces I absolutely would not be able to identify them as members of The Pussycat Dolls. Yes, the lead singer is that Hot....
   

Perhaps the pictures will make the tears more tolerable....perhaps not. I managed to miss the deadline for my NFL pool 3 times this season so it shouldn't be long here before I miss a day...take solace in that.

Dear Patriot Tears #21

"I hate Brett Fav-re with every ounce of my being. At no point in that game did I think the Jets could win. All Fav-re has been is a decent QB for a long time. Far from one of the greatest as many people think. In fact, he is one of the most overrated of all time. Whenever there is an important game he either chokes or sucks. That being said, thanks Pats for putting on a great show all year. It's been fun."

Posted by I hate the Jets December 28, 08 07:45 PM

Dear Patriot Tears,

Oh how I pine for the day that this segment will end. I beg of you God.....please bring the Patriot, Brett Favre rants to an end......why have you forsaken me?

Dear Patriot Tears #20

"just lost the wrong games...as Belichick always says it is the divisional and conference games that matter the most. Great season despite not making the playoffs...they will need to franchise Cassel with Brady's future in doubt for the beginning of 09.

Farve is sooooooooooooooooooooo overrated. Why anyone would say he is a top 5 or even top 10 QB is beyond me. In the clutch the last 5 years he is aweful The picks today is a symbol of who is really is."

Posted by Mark December 28, 08 07:45 PM

Dear Patriot Tears,

Favre is overrated. That being said, it must be all the more painful to reflect on the outcome of Super Bowl XXXI.....of course, you probably weren't a fan then anyway. Happy MLK day.

"9 minutes to go in game, Jets down by 7points and camera pans to Brett Favre, arms crossed. He had given up. Way to go Brett!!! 9 minutes left...."

Chewbacca......are you the little blond body language expert Bill O'Reilly has on The Factor a couple times a week? Great analysis...if you aren't that blond, I would contemplate a career change. J-E-T-S, JETS, JET, JETS.....

Editor's note:
O'Reilly picture comes from his days at Inside Edition. This picture of Bill is one in which he is throwing a hissy fit and shedding a tear....thought it to be perfect for this post.

Dear Patriot Tears #12

"Couldn't Favre have thrown a couple more gimme picks early in the game to take the suspense out of things? I feel like my whole afternoon was wasted watching that horror show. Too bad the Pats didn't squeeze out another win along the way - - it would have been fun to watch Mangini's sour-puss face on the sidelines if we hadn't needed the Jets to win today. Go B's - - Go C's."

Posted by BWR December 28, 08 07:44 PM

Dear Patriot Tears,

Here we go with Brett Favre again....I knew it was wise to go out and get some Wrangler images. To that end, I'm glad your afternoon was ruined! Fuck your tears and all of the Brett Favre crap...HE BEAT YOUR TEAM DURING THE SEASON! Boo-frickin-hoo! I hope this afternoon is ruined for you too...enjoy your snow storm!

Posted by Hawkeye December 28, 08 07:42 PM

Dear Patriot Tears,

Did Favre have any Picks back in the '96 Season Superbowl? Honestly, I don't remember. Just know you lost that one.
