OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[ThunderDan]

There has been no official word yet on Favre returning to the Vikings. There are a couple of big reasons why they want him back and neither have to do with his play on the field.

1) His presence alone causes players to perform better.

2) The Vikings want a new stadium and Favre is a cash cow.

I have not read one report from the Vikings, Longwell, Hutchinson, or Allen that says they went there to "beg him" to play. Every single source that cites this, it is their opinion, not fact. This reminds of the whole Favre debacle when he left Green Bay. Some reporter goes and states their opinion, then it gets blown out of proportion and becomes "fact". Reality isn't very exciting sometimes but jumping the gun and buying into opinion without facts is over-reacting just a tad.

Sorry, you don't send 3 Probowlers to MS in the middle of training camp.

But this is a message board and that's what we're good at. And in this instance, it's kinda fun...

Especially opposing secondaries.

So, did Rodgers cost us our lone playoff game last year? I don't think he did but I want to know what you think.

Look at your comment above and think real hard before you answer...

Excusing three of his best players to fly to Bumblefuck, MS in the middle of a training camp week should really show everyone who's wearing the pants this time around.

No, Brett is not wearing the pants. He had them down around his ankles so Longwell and Allen could stroke little Lorenzo while Hutchenson took pictures to send to sideline reporter babes.

If there is a typhoon in Indonesia, does it change the fact that Brett Favre lost 3 NFC Championship games and One Divisional game with unforced interceptions? Think real hard before you answer.

In the realm of massive playoff chokes, Rodgers rates a 2. Favre is an 11.

[mraynrand]

Who gets the privilege of driving him to camp?

Longwell.

No word on whether they stopped by Applebee's on the way in.

[Scott Campbell]

But don't take my word for it. Lets ask MN Viking announcer Paul Allen for his thoughts on the choke:

Another year, another unforced INT. Oh, the memories! Oh, the Humanity!

Was there a jail break blitz on the BF INT? ARod was part of the problem and a huge part of the reason we even made it to 45-45 at the end of regulation.

Sounds like Bert should be doing Extenze commercials.

Depends who is answering the question. Is it a rational person or a Favre fanatic?
