OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[falco]

Rodgers made the same boneheaded throw against the cardinals on what, the first play of the game?

Sometimes its all about timing. If Rodgers had made that throw with the Superbowl hanging in the balance, it would be WAY worse than it was. Favre timed his choke PERFECTLY.

I know I thought it came at the perfect time. :P

Just glance around today. People in packer nation are still solely blaiming favre for the 2007 NFC Championship game, yet most of viking nation is over it and realizing that that one play wasn't the whole game, and they want #4 back.

There are still Vikings fans that blame Favre. Most Packer fans that don't "solely" blame Favre, but it wasn't just that one game or one throw. It was a whole series of similar F-ups at critical times. It's a lot easier to forget about one game than it is to forget about several years of games.

There were many Viking mistakes in that game, but only one that lives in infamy.

If Brett manages to once again burn all his bridges on his way out of Minny, watch how their fan base reflect on his choker against the Saints.

While fans were all blaiming favre after teh game, his teammates were not. The camera's were in the lockerrom, you could witness what was happening.

I witnessed a bunch of upset players biting their tongues. 99% of their team realized that 99% of nursing home residents could have shuffled their walkers far enough forward for a Longwell fieldgoal. Every player in that locker room knew that Bert shouldn't have thrown the ball to Tracy Porter.

And last of all, Bert plead guilty to the charges. He freely admits that he should have ran.

Of course he admits it was a bad throw. Since when did I ever say it wasn't? I doubt teh players were really biting their tongues - with Brett they would of never been there, and almost every player in that locker room knows it.

Every single player and coach in that locker room knew that he cost them a Superbowl trip.

ANd every single player and coach in that locker room knew that without Brett, they had no chance to even get to the Super Bowl, let alone the NFC Championship.

Your point?

Actually, I recall a lot of talk during the offseason about players supporting the existing QBs. It wasn't until Favre officially showed up that the team "got behind him."

I sure loved watching him screw them, especially after he had everyone believing that he'd will them to a championship. He was the ultimate tease last year. Watching him rip their hearts out in such dramatic fashion renewed my faith in karma - because Favre was so deserving of such a horrific fate.

[Freak Out]

The Campbell Crusade!

It's a team game where many mistakes are made throughout such contests by many different players.

You have reached bitter, jilted lover status in regards to LORD FAVRE.

[Scott Campbell]

I make no bones about loathing the guy. He earned it. And I'm in good company:

But I do appreciate the way he screwed them in the end.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre underwent arthroscopic surgery on his injured left ankle Friday morning by noted orthopedic specialist Dr. James Andrews, several sources told ESPN.com.

Favre had surgery at the Andrews Institute in Gulf Breeze, Fla., where Favre and his agent Bus Cook were spotted by a handful of people.

Dr. Andrews cleaned up scar tissue and other elements of the joint to allow Favre a better range of motion, sources said.

A source close to Favre said the 40-year-old signal caller would likely need four-to-six weeks of rehabilitation before beginning a running program that would put him on schedule to report to training camp "either at the beginning of camp or shortly thereafter."

Favre had said he would need the surgery if he were going to play in 2010. He was unavailable for comment.

So for you, it was Super Bowl or bust eh? To many others, last season was a massive success. A barely in the playoff team became one of the best in the league. They were one fo hte top 4 teams in the NFL. Thats saying something. Was it disapointing they fell short? Sure - whatever team favre is on it feels like almsot every eyar they are super bowl contedors.

Still, I think it was generally a success, especially if he is coming back this year. I am no viking fan - but I would rather the packers get bounced in the NFC Championship game then lose in the first round.
