It’s funny the plethora of things that get reported on about Brett Favre. The latest is from TwinCities.com who says that Favre is “so focused on winning games this season that the Vikings QB has respectfully declined guest appearances on the Jay Leno and David Letterman TV shows.”

Shrug. Didn’t he always do this? I don’t remember him making the late night appearances when he played with the Packers during the regular season ever. I did see him once in a while on the boob tube in the off-season, like this particular appearance after his very first …read more

There’s a lot of division amongst Packer fans right now, and it’s all thanks to the poor way Brett Favre’s retirement was handled from Packer management and the man himself. As soon as there was a rumor Favre might play for the Vikings, I circled the date the Packers would play the Vikings in Lambeau on the calendar. I knew it was going to be a big one.

The Packers, in the three weeks leading up to this match up played the Lions and Browns and got themselves feeling very confident. Overconfident. So it was a definite …read more

It’s gotta feel nice to be Brett Favre right now. Earlier in the season, he beat the Green Bay Packers in Minnesota. On Sunday, he led his Vikings into Lambeau Field and beat the Packers again.
And Favre wasn’t just along for the ride. He was arguably the game’s best player. He finished his Week 8 contest 17-for-28 for 244 yards and four touchdowns. In two starts against the Vikings, Favre had seven touchdowns and no interceptions.
Favre and the Vikings got off to a fast start. After Favre connected with Percy Harvin on a 51-yard touchdown two minutes into the second …read more

Brett Favre broke yet another record last night by becoming the only person to beat every single team in the NFL. Not an easy feat. But can he break yet another record? This one would be a record NO ONE has ever broken and it involves the playoffs.

No player has ever won a playoff game at the age of 40 plus. Favre turns 40 next week, and people are already buzzing about the Vikings chances for a playoff. Favre has been one of those amazing folks that has broken so many records, you might think …read more

I woke up today feeling a little giddy. A little like Christmas, perhaps. In a way, it is like a holiday. For Packer fans, our beloved quarterback for 16 seasons will be playing against us for the first time. Am I angry? Hoping he’ll get tanked? Nope.

Despite all the hatred that sportscasters like to stir with Brett Favre, I would say average fans like me feel a bit differently. I am rooting for the Packers to win. But seeing Favre fail? My heart just isn’t in it. Truth be told, …read more

Here I was, innocently minding my own business last night when none other than Brett Favre popped up on my TV screen in a new Sears commercial. I have a hesitation whenever I see Favre in a commercial. As a Packer fan, you might be able to figure out why.

If it’s the Wrangler commercial (with a YELLOW tee shirt – yellow – so close to GOLD), I might have to turn the channel. The memories are just too painful.
But this was Favre poking fun of himself. Or, to put it more specifically, Favre making …read more

Vikings quarterback Brett Favre (and I can’t tell you how badly it pains me to say “Vikings quarterback” before that name) will still be the spokesman for Wrangler’s Five Star Premium Denim. Let’s hope they actually change the color of his tee shirt on the commercials this year. Last year he was still wearing a yellow (goldish) shirt with a #4 on it. Except he wasn’t with the Pack.

Anywho, to help promote the brand, Favre will appear at Walmart and Target stores. Depending on where he appears he may just get a few Packer fans asking …read more

Cheeseheads all over Packerland were in shock when Brett Favre signed with the Vikings this week. But they shouldn’t be. Instead, they should be happy. That’s right: happy. I’m a Cheesehead and I know some of you are hurting. But here’s a new way you can look at the situation, and even find some happiness in it.

Favre Has Two More Chances to Beat the Bears
Yeah, sure, Favre is going to play opposite Green Bay for the first time ever, but he’s also going to play the Bears. Again. And you know how …read more

Just a few days after unretiring again, Brett Favre was on the football field playing a preseason game for the Minnesota Vikings. Although he was only in for eight plays, that was long enough for the Vikings fans to give him a long standing ovation.
In those eight plays, Favre looked every bit of a quarterback who hasn’t gone through training camp. He completed only one of his four throws for a total of four yards. A couple of his throws were completed off target.
But, considering it was a preseason game, Vikings fans didn’t seem to care. Besides, their team was …read more

Jared Allen may be the best player on the Minnesota Vikings. With that in mind, it’s not good for the Vikings that Allen is annoyed about all the Brett Favre talk surrounding the team. If Allen is annoyed, there’s a good chance he’s not the only one.
In an article in the Chicago Tribune, Allen vented about Favre.
“It’s not so much that it’s a distraction because we’re professionals and don’t really buy into that,” said Allen to the Chicago Tribune in regards to the Favre talk. “But it’s annoying.”
According to Allen, the Vikings’ season won’t live or die depending on what …read more
