I find this hilarious

[bobblehead]

Haven't checked this myself but some of the comments on PFT said it was 2 different planes, not the same plane going back and forth.

OPT708 arrived in Hattiesburg from Minneapolis at 7:12 AM
OPT708 departed from Hattiesburg for Lafayette at 11:15AM
OPT704 arrived in Hattiesburg from Birmingham at 2:57PM
OPT704 departed from Hattiesburg for Minneapolis at 4:14PM

I too have been scanning log books of various airports. We need to watch regional hubs like Duluth and Eau Claire in case they try some funny business. It probably also wouldn't hurt to put a man at the bus station.

Check the Tower Chief's logs. There was no flight at 0300 hours.

I must admit, milk just squirted out of my nose....ty asshole!!!

He insinuated that Favre was already talking to the Vikngs because he found two different flights, one from hMinneapolis and the other from Hattiesburg that happened to go to Minneapolis, that were unrelated to each other. How is that insinuation not made up?

Plane Flies From Minneapolis To Hattiesburg, And Back Again
Posted by Mike Florio on April 29, 2009, 10:59 p.m.
It probably means nothing.

But, let’s face it, Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional Airport is hardly a major hub of transportation.

Only five flights arrived there today, and only six departed.

One of the arrivals came from Minneapolis, and one of the departures headed back there.

The plane from Minneapolis arrived at 9:11 a.m. local time, and left at 4:14 p.m. local time.

It probably has nothing to do with one of the more famous residents of Hattiesburg. After all, he’s retired from playing football, and he has no intention of coming back.

Favre said so himself. “It’s all rumor. [There’s] no reason for it.”

Oh, wait. That was last year, when Favre shot down in early July talk that he wanted to come back.

Since he was telling the truth then, he’s surely telling the truth now.

Ok, here is the original post. This post convinces me that you cannot slow your brain down enough to READ. Maybe read this again tomorrow morning BEFORE you drink the rockstars.

- A plane flew in from Minneapolis. That was true.
- A plane left Hattiesburg and returned to Minneapolis. That is also true.
- Florio injected a significant amount of sarcasam into this blurb about how what Favre (and the Vikings for that matter) says is "unreliable". By previous experience that's true too.

But, nowhere in the above does he say they had talks. Just speculating on who else would be flying into Hattiesburg (six flights a day backs that up too, I'd say). That was a pretty good question. Apparently they have a Target in Hattiesburg. Who knew? I guess maybe Brett did, but certainly no one else knew, or cared.

Do you just not get sarcasm? I still don't get it. splain it to me.

You have to read between the lines. Florio didn't have to mention the flights at all. No reason what so ever becuase a little reasearch(something Florio seemed to lack here) would have shown it not to be related to Favre. Basically by mentioning the flights he creates a Favre/Vikings connection in peope's minds. He made up a story (There are flights between Minneapolis and Hattiesburg, must be Favre) to generate webhits.

LOL. Ok. I got it.

Yep, Florio just post shit to "generate web hits". That's why his site has crashed on multiple instances in the last two months. Because he's trying to generate additional traffic. Yeah. That's it.

Gee, my perspective is that he's working OVERTIME trying to handle the traffic he's already got.

That might be why he's got "backup sites" on NBCSPORTS and sporting news. So he's got a place to land his domain when it crashes....

Thanks for clearing that up for me Sherlock. I guess I'm just not that devious.

OF course he tryingto generate more webhits. More webhits = more money. You never stop trying to make money. Florio knows Favre is a cash cow. He knows he can make a buttload of money just putting out Favre stories as lonmg as they don't stray too far from the actual truth. He can put out insinuations and half truths becuase people eat it up.

Come on, now, people.

You all know the drill by now:

The Vikings' __________ (fill in the blank, prolly Bevell or Childress) is just a friend of Brett Favre's. They were just visiting, like friends do. Why does everybody always have to make a big deal out of something as simple as a friendship? No, they did not talk about Brett Favre playing for the Vikes - he's retired, remember? They just talked about....life. It's just friends, visiting, that's all.

Does that also work for the un-retirement and subsequent retirement? Can't they just set up a template, change the dates, and use the same articles over again?

I think I just did. Does this mean I'm working for the Favre family now?

Sorry. "They" as in ESPN, CNNSI, and such.

Brett Favre announced his return from retirement on ______. This comes on the heels of his retirement announcement on ________. Favre, who just finished up his ______season in the NFL, ________ as QB for the _______.......

And then, when he retires.

Brett Lorenzo Favre tearfully announced his retirement from the NFL after ____ years of service. Favre held back tears as he said "nobody could question my dedication or commitment. I think I proved that this year in quarterbacking the _______." Favre has always been known as one of the league's most exciting players, and finished up this year with ___ TD and __ INT.....

lol. Ok, sure. I haven't been a "mod" in a month. I have no more access to change anything than you do. When MTP feels like removing the banner, he'll remove it. Until then, well, I guess you'll have to deal with it, now won't you?

Until then, maybe you should stick to questions that can be answered with a google search. That's more your speed.

I don't recall seeing anything that gave a date when things were happening. Not from MTP anyhow. Could you point me in that direction?

The only thing that I read was "after the draft". If you could nail that down to a date, well, then I guess the new owner will remove the banner. Or something like that.

Nothing. This is someone elses problem now, and they are welcome to have at it.

Are you really that ignorant about business and the art of making money? There are ads on his website. the more poeple that come to his website, the more people see those ads, the more money his website makes for running that add.. Is it really that hard for you to understand that?
