I don't think celebrating his injury is quite the right description. Schadenfavre, maybe, but not celebrating.Quote:

I love seeing Favre hurt. Should have stayed retired.
Are we celebrating his injury?Quote:

I guess it's still 'mathematically possible' for the Vikings to turn things around this season, but I don't think many think it's possible. At what point do they put T-Jack (where's Booty these days?) in, start thinking about what the DL needs to sort it out, and look to the future?
IMO getting Moss was not a horrible idea, it could've been the spark the team needed. But it didn't work, and things aren't going to get better this season.
Got a chuckle out of this...

As much as I am sick of being exposed to a Favre driven media circus, without Favre's presence I am not sure that the Vikings would be the train wreck they are right now. So ask yourself, are you sure you wouldn't like him to stick around just a little longer? :lol:Quote:

No. I want Chilly to stay, but it was more FUN making fun of 'Jump Pass'!Quote:

Now HERE are some guys laughing at his injury...

I read this quote from Favre in the Strib today:
“I was shocked that I was able to play and move around the way I was.”
1. So, why did you want to start then?
2. Don’t hurt your shoulder now too patting yourself on the back.
This is so true. Right now, I think the Vikes would be better with TJack at the helm. Favre playing next week is absolutely perfect.Quote:

I saw that picture in the paper this morning and was struck by how hard and far this guy has fallen. Three years ago the stadium would have been silent, or respectful clapping if this would have happened.Quote:
