I'm as tired of Favre as anybody.

Buuuut...objectively speaking, he is one of the best of all time and has earned a lot of the praise he's getting. They showed a blurb saying that if the Vikings win tonight, he'll become the only QB ever to beat all 32 teams. Like him or not, that's pretty impressive.

Yes, he's an egotist. Most of the players in the NFL are to some level. And yes, the networks slobber over him to a sickening degree. But let's be honest. He does have an impressive record.

He would become my best friend for a night if he threw to Bernard Berrian(for my fantasy team) more. I actually like Minnesota, so when Favre came to the team I decided that it would be in my best interest to forgive and forget his past transgressions. Temporarily, at least.

i am starting to not even watch espn shows. just the games. it has nothing to do with Favre though. I like watching him play. You can't deny it's not exciting. I have alot of interest in this game too since I have Shiancoe and Harvin, and my opponent has Peterson and Rodgers. I came into the night with a 22 point lead. So far so good, but its gonna be a close one. GO FAVRE!... but not to peterson.

      THIS MIGHT PISS OFF SOME STEVE SMITH SR. FANS:  He WAS detrimental to this team.  Sure, he is on the hall of fame ballot and is probably our best player ever--but he punched 2 teammates--and that is the tip of the glacier.  Remember, I watched him haze and belittle Dwayne Jarrett at an OTA. Jarrett even reacted by giving me a hard hand slap when I mentioned it to him--.  I know bullying when I see it (educator who has written books about trauma caused by abuse and bullying) I have commented on the fact that nobody seemed to be friends with Smith except Kasay.  He was a bully and the coaches allowed it. Bunch of Alpha males chewing the tall grass. Here is a list of all the WRs Steve Smith 'mentored" after they were drafted:  2003: Walter Young 2004: Keary Colbert, Drew Carter 2007: Dwayne Jarrett, Rhyne Robinson 2010: Brandon Lafell,  Armanti Edward, David Gettis 2011: Kealoha Pilares 2012: Joe Adams That is 10 WRs drafted and only 1 had some degree of success, Brandon Lafell, who averaged around 600 yards a season for 8 years in the NFL--it is noteworthy that his numbers increased after leaving Carolina for NE.   This proves nothing, but it is interesting and coincides with the list of free agents we brought in during that time.  My argument:  It is possible that whatever Smith contributed to this team could be a result of bullying others into more diminished roles--Smith called it competition, and in fairness, he was the hardest practicing player I ever watched at OTAs over the years.  But it seems he was Napoleonic in his approach to teammates, possibly damaging the unit and keeping young players from developing--transitioning from college to the pros must be intimidating--especially when an established player is constantly attacking (challenging, to Smith) you as you are trying to learn the plays and culture.  It was so bad when I saw him doing it to Jarrett, it pissed me off.  I think Jarrett was pretty slow and was unsure of the plays etc--it was his rookie OTAs.  This is not proof, just an interesting possibility.  If you have ever had someone at your place of employment with some authority start harassing you, you might understand how a 21-year old kid might feel.
