Intended to go fish today, but nothing worked out, so I'm talkin football. I'd just love to see a Peyton-Farve matchup, though quite honestly either game would be good. What's your preference?

 

[Daniel Nelson]

GO VIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Farves' are is pretty damn good this year after the survey but his body definitely shows wear.

but no matter what its gonna be a good quarterback shootout in the Superbowl.

 

[Daniel Nelson]

I guess the Vikes decided to throw a fumble party.

 

[Daniel Nelson]

i guess brett is hijacking the fumble party and throwing his own interception party...oh well...OT it is.

 

[freestoneangler]

Bummer... I'm guessing the Vikes kicker would have made the FG.... Farve gives me an ulcer!

 

[Daniel Nelson]

yeah...Ryan Longwell is a pretty good kicker...especially in a dome. Oh Well, we lost the games with our fumbles and interceptions, they owe it to themselves.

BS P.I. call..........

BS P.I. call..........

for sure!!

Favre can't retire throwing that as his last pass.....but Minn will not have the easy schedule next year. I think the better team lost today...but as Coach Knox said, "it's not who you play, but when you play them" ...timing and match-ups has so much to do with your season success in the league.

43 years…
I have been passionate about fly fishing for maybe 20, but 43 for a professional sports team?
Yep
Unless you grew up (like I did) or spent a lot of time in NO, it’s hard to grasp the “joined at the hip” relationship that this city has for their Saints both before and after The Storm.
Thank you Mr. Benson for not moving the team.
Who Dat?

Well stated Mr. Dougher! Finally is the first word that comes to mind. I spent most of my summer vacations, winter breaks and spring breaks a little bit west of New Orleans. Not only is it good to see the team doing so well but the city seems to be recovering to a certain extent. I have enjoyed watching Brett Favre over the years, even pulled for him as a Jet, but yesterday with the Colts outing the Jets and the Saints having just enough things go their way to advance to Miami all seems right in the world of professional football. Who Dat indeed!

Due to the fact that I'm an old guy, I was pulling for Farve & the Vikes, but it should be a great Superbowl match up. Too bad footballs don't come with handles . . .

Oh, Joy!! Now we can warp into another 7 months of speculation about will he/won't he? retire and countless hours of inane conversation by media types on whether he should or shouldn't. As soap opera it rates right up there with 'Days of Our Jive', 'As the Stomach Turns' and 'General Horseshit'.

In the end it was a bad decision that did Favre in-an across the body and across the field pass right into the sight lines of the pursuit. A rookie mistake. But as old guys we all seem to go back to where we started, wearing diapers and being pushed around in a stroller. It's time Brett. You played a helluva game but it's time.

 

[Old Man]

Isn't this shitty football over with yet. Two more shitty games. Enough is enough. Football started in August. I'm tired of it. I think we now need baseball, YUK.

The only sports I'm interested in is fly fishing. That should be sports enough for this web site.

Succinctly put:
"Blame Favre, if you want, but remember that Bernard Berrian's fourth-quarter fumble of a Favre pass at the Saints' 5 was also a killer. So was Harvin's fourth-quarter fumble at the Minnesota 22. So was a botched handoff exchange between Favre and Peterson at the Saints' 4 near the end of the second quarter. So was an inexplicable 12-men-in-the-huddle penalty the play before Favre's final INT.

In short, there aren't enough fingers to point at all the Vikings who screwed up Sunday. And by the way, the Saints and their crowd had a little something to do with the outcome.

If this was the end for Favre, he has zilch to apologize for. The Vikings wouldn't have reached the NFC Championship Game without him. As it was, he completed 28 of 46 passes for 310 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He was the best player on a really good team. At 40."

Seems to me it's no longer who's the better/dominant team and going to win, but who makes the most stupid mistakes, acquires the most lost yardage through penalties, and ultimately beats themselves.
All part of the game though.

i couldnt agree more.

gotta root for the saints... the city deserves it

 

[John Dougher]

Like it!

 

[Daniel Nelson]

i'll be rooting for the Saints now that the vikes aren't in it. I've wanted them to go the Superbowl since Katrani hit them. Pretty awesome how that city has bounced back from such a devastating event.
