OFFICIAL BRETT THE LIVING LEGEND THREAD

[Fosco33]

I can't believe how many hits Brent took yesterday. And it pisses me off that the Packers couldn't find a way to even touch him but once/twice in TWO games.

The fact that he kept getting up showed you how much he wanted it. And sure - he'd have been ready for the Colts - but you could see in pregame interviews that the old man looks - old. It's a long season and feels longer when your 2X the age of some of the rooks.


I don't feel bad for the Vikes or their fans. The Pack has had much more heartbreak (and success) at the hands of #4.

Things I'm saying to my MN friends today:
-Welcome to the club
-As much as things change - they really don't
-Enjoy the 8 month guessing game


And it's definitely not all on Brent. The 3 lost fumbles were much bigger - leading to a Saints easy TD and 2 lost scoring chances for Vikes (6-14 points) - a total swing of 3 scores is gigantic.

I'm happy for the Saints - that city really needs something good to happen. Hope they find a way to whoop Manning.

House - can you hook me up? Pretty please.

Man you guys are harsh. Isn't that just a kids indoor tent/fort?

They are $25 at Wal Mart to give a 3 or 4 year old something to hide in.

The video is priceless, esp. the Dad's reaction. Personally, I do less swearing and more stomping out of the room. Then the bitter, sarcastic comments.

Later Update: Even better, as he is cursing the INT he realizes the thing is in danger of going for six, so you need to turn off the complaints and root for a stop.

Many, many years ago it was pointed out to me by a hockey scout that it pays to take notes about players even when they are young, because it is who they are. While sometimes they can be changed to a certain extent, when crunch time comes they will instinctively react in the way that is natural for them. The trick for a scout is to evaluate if the great plays made by a 12-16 year old will be successful plays as a junior, college or pro player.

Favre showed us yesterday that this is true for him. While he seemed to change this year, controlling himself to a degree Packer fans have never seen, when crunch time came, he reacted as Packer fans have seen for years, The throw back into the middle of the field, late in the play, was probably something he got away with often in college, but pro coaches harp and harp on it. Favre was conditioned to do it by who he is, a risk taker. At the time he threw it he probably saw "great play!" Unfortunately, high risk takers don't see the downside until its too late. Too often it gets you in trouble in the NFL.

When crunch time came, Favre became the Favre he always was. Sometimes he got away with those plays, and fans cheered him for it, reinforcing something coaches probably wanted to stop. Yesterday, it came back to bite him.

Great moment in Viking history. I might have to burn that onto DVD's and Print a big purple #4 on it for giveaways to family and friends.

u all are SUCH bastards!

but i cant front; im lmao at the images here and on the sports shows today...dont know why. maybe its because, like u all, ive grown to expect fuckery from favre.

Now that you've completed step 1 of your 12 step program, it's time to embrace Aaron.

Packer fans wear green - not purple.

i think they prefer the term "little people"

bert is 6'2, but he's on his twinkle toes. i'd say those guys are both at least a foot shorter then him

that's exactly how we should have played them instead of the back-off, soft style we did.

Funny, I was just thinking the same thing. Are the trainers both 5' 3" or is Brett 6' 10" on his toes?

Yeah, but I bet neither one of those guys would have thrown that pick to Tracy Porter.
