Favre Looks Like He's Finished

Having watched most of the last two Vikings games, I'm coming to the conclusion that Brett Favre should not have come back this year and not just because he seems to be a lowlife.

Near the end of the Jets game last week, Favre was holding his elbow after every throw. It was clear his tendinitis was just killing him. Yesterday, he was sacked several times in very un-Favre like fashion, holding onto the ball and waiting way too long to throw it. Every time he delayed a decision on a pass play, the only thing I could think was that the pain in his elbow prevented him from throwing the ball - each throw required his brain to overcome his body's natural inclination to avoid pain.

While the Vikings managed to beat the hapless Cowgirls, they aren't going anywhere this year so long as Favre is the QB. Bringing him back was a big mistake.

Dude... The Mariners could beat the Cowgirls this year.

And yes, I did mean to put the baseball team, that is not a typo.

We SUCK. No excuses, things need to change.

Favre is such a narcissist. I retire, no I don't......no surprise the wee Brett photos at all.

Farve brought this on himself, he's been retiring for 5 years. No one believed him. The man can't be out of the spotlight. And the Vikings sucked into it. The Jets used him for a year, and got Sanchez. They did it right. The Packers did it right.

The Genius (TM), aka Childress, has no clue. Farve has said that he, in his mind, was retired at the end of last year. He never said anything of the sort.

I'm willing to bet that he's not the only sexter in the NFL. And not the only one on the Jets that year. And I bet the woman probably got many texts from many other Jets that year.

The Vikings, as the media has constantly been saying, when "all in" this year. Except they didn't get a QB.

Minnesota isn't going to build them a new stadium, as the owner hasn't put up any kind of real package together.

So, the Vikings will disperse next year, and the next year move to LA, and stink worse than Buffalo. And, inexplicably, Childress will still be the coach.

The worst part is the NFL will show mostly Packer games here.
