Let’s take this to another level, okay? Up or down, depends upon the reader’s leanings.

Favre has increased revenue for the Vikings, hands down. (No doubt some Packer/Favre fans bought season tickets. Negative, and positive.)

Not all Packers fans hate Favre. They certainly don’t want the Vikes to win over the Pack, but they don’t hate Favre.

Every team Farve has been on, he’s thrown an interception as his last pass. It’s in the books.

Leonard, on Aug 22nd, said Favre was the only reason the Packers had a team. I can’t dispute that; I’ve said far too many times that Packers mgmt wouldn’t give Favre anyone to play with in his latter years with the Pack.

Benching Favre — I hope it happens this year. I hope he sits out a start, at least. Baseball’s ironman sat out a game just to get the whole sick thing out of the way. I hope Chili will do it if Favre doesn’t.

Yeah, right. *snork* It’s Favre’s biggest liability on the team.

Vikes Superbowl bound with Favre at the helm? How childish. They play the games for a reason. It may be great, it may not. Favre sure does raise a buzz though, don’t he?

“Don’t respond.” I do this all the time. I am ecstatic that Farve will play again this year. Most folks are negative …. I allow them their opinion, and shrug. Doesn’t change how I feel.

Terry Bradshaw was a Steeler. Pick a previous Viking, please. A whiner would be nice.

I watched the NFheLL network’s replay of Favre’s first preseason passes as a Viking. Yes, the announcers were pro-Favre. Yet they allowed how the timing was off, explaining things rather well. And the completed pass, into tight double coverage, was awesome.

Traitor? TRAITOR?? GB mgmt gave Favre no one to play with (I’ve said this too many times …) Favre did what he had to do to get out of his contract with GB, and did pretty good for the Jets before injury. The aftertalk was that he was too non-communicative in the Jets’ locker room. He’d said that he was the old man in the locker room with GB. As an older soul myself, methinks I can understand.

Favre leaves it all on the field, and his play for the Jets was good until injury, especially considering the complete change of system. I wish the Jets would’ve had the b-alls to bench him. Nobody wants to be known as the team who benched a HOF’er. Again, I hope Favre benches himself this year … not bloody likely, but I can hope.

Giving credit to ‘pass catchers’ … how perfectly technical a description … I agree. Favre may not be breaking receivers’ fingers anymore, but those who catch on to his tune, and allow him to catch on to theirs, deserve all kudos.

Favre yakks and points and gestures and talks to receivers after a missed reception. If he stops doing this, throw in the towel, the season is over.

Favre is passionate about the game of football. He will do everything he can to win. GB made his job difficult, allowing his uniform to clean the field regularly. If the Viking O line can hold better than it did in Favre’s first preseason game, fantastic things can happen.

The Vikings have an awesome team. If things come together, 2009-2010 will be a fabulous year.

They have to play the games. No computer can factor in the humanity. This isn’t chess, so cut and dried.

As a Packer/Farve fan, I have detested the Vikings since I saw … a Viking push a thumb into a Packer’s eye, not seen by officials, but caught by the camera. No penalty, in the years between replay challenges.

I bought a Viking tree ornament at the second-hand store this summer. I almost donated it back when Favre talked of knees and ankles, but decided to wait.

I doubt anyone was more ecstatic upon hearing Favre signed with the Vikings. My high lasted for days. This gives Favre the opportunity to show that with a real team, he can be one heck of a QB, not the sad spectacle he was during the last few yrs at GB.

They have to play the games. IF Favre can accept his age, and IF the he and the team can get on the same page, this may be the most awesome team in NFheLL history.

NFheLL is the system that tries to get every penny out of the fans, yet denies them the ability to see games outside their geographical boundaries (outside pricey DTv.) Stupid beyond belief. The NFheLL is cutting off their noses to spite their faces.

I hated the Vikes. I am now rooting for the Vikes, because I appreciate Favre. Maybe it doesn’t make sense to anyone but me, but I yam what I yam and that’s all that I yam.

I’m also rooting for GB. Just not in the Vikes games. Three nineteen.

I dislike the cowboys even more than I ever disliked the Vikes, yet even the ‘boys had the sense to trade TO. Tides change.

I’ve been a GB / Favre fan since before all the records, since before the SB win and the subsequent SB loss. I’m still a GB fan, and always will be. Yet I’ll suspend it for a year or two, and root for Favre the man. I’ll hang the Vike ornament this Dec.

In the meantime, I will watch the games be played, and hope I will enjoy.

Pretty much like any other fan, eh?
