I assume everybody heard about Brett Favre 30 times (or more) today. So what you think? Is he gonna help the Vikings? Make the Vikings worse?

Well the shitty Cowboys aren't winning any time soon, so maybe you should pay attention to other NFL news like Favre

like you said before, i have heard it 30+ times already and it is getting on my nerves...i like the vikings but farve is a packer to me and i dont give a care about him...20 touchdowns and 32 interceptions is about where he is going...unless the throw tavaris or sage back into the mix...

I think he can do better than 20/32. Remember last year through 11 games he was an MVP candidate and the Jets with a superbowl contender. Of course they choked down the stretch, but I don't think those first 11 games should be forgotten that easily.
Besides his presence took Thomas Jones from a washed up older RB into a stud in 1 year. Imagine him and AP? Now that the Vikes got a QB the other teams actually gotta fear, AP could go for 2000 yards (or more).

Honestly, I'm not sure the Vikings have a quality enough recieving corps to make that much of a difference. Favre is immeasurably better than Jackson or Rosenfels though. And John David Booty has outplayed both of them in camp thus far.
They are better with Favre, but they are still a ground and pound team. They will be in trouble if they stray from that mentality because of their new gunslinger.

They will be in trouble if they stray from that mentality because of their new gunslinger. As a die-hard Vikings fan, I would say that the receivers in MN are not Pro Bowl caliber, but they can definitely be very good if they have a above average QB on the team. This team has not gotten good QB play since the year before Daunte hurt his knee, so I don't want to put much blame on them. The Vikes have added some good talent over the past couple of season, and this year's receiving core should be Berrian, Sidney Rice, Bobby Wade, Percy Harvin, and Jaymar Johnson (remember this kids name, the Vikes have been talking him up a ton). They will still be a running team, but now they have a QB that should actually scare the defenses a bit and keep teams from putting 9 men in the box. Normally defenses put 8 in the box to stop the run, but with the Vikes no teams feared the QB so they would go to 9 on occasion.

Also, I'm so sick of Favre I could scream, but I do consider this a win-win situation. One of 2 things will happen this season. 1. The Vikes win! - Woohoo, I'll be happy. 2. The Vikes lose. - Childress will get fired, and we can bring in a coach like Cowher to run things. Again I'll be happy. One other thing to put a smile on my face is that this will drive all of my in-laws crazy because they are all Packer fans. This will almost be as funny as when I converted my wife to be a Vikings fan. They really hate it when I bring that up.

I think Favre just helped Peterson's Fantasy Value a ton! Favre will take them to the playoffs this season easy...

They will be in trouble if they stray from that mentality because of their new gunslinger. I don't think the Vikings WR's are any worse than what Favre was working with in NY. Cotchery and a washed up Coles didn't stop him from leading the Jets to an 8-3 start. With Minnesota he got a 20 yd/catch play maker in Berrian, and if the hype is true about Percy, then that's another weapon. They got a strong defense, the best offensive player in the game in AP, some talented receivers, and now the cherry on top with Favre. BTW Favre just got added onto Madden 2010 with a 82 rating, Vick was added too, he's a 73. But he's nasty to use in the Wild Cat.

Fuck Favre. Fuck AP. And Fuck the Vikings as a team, an organization and a mother fucking crew.
I could care less if Favre wants to stick it to Thompson but being a packer fan he is letting us down, and spitting in our face. Now I hope Kampman does an LT move and ends his career so we never have to go through the bullshit of is he staying or leaving.

So you're a Packer fan right? You're gonna forget the 16 year's he gave to your team just like that? You're gonna wish his career gets ended? Kinda messed up.

Its great an all what he did. But when someone turns there back on you, you feel like complete shit. Plus his little game im staying retired and than coming back out was just so funny and didnt make it any better.
I just really had enough of him, he is a great player and all, but I don't know the Brett Favre the person, but I just don't like what I see.
But also you telling me as a fan if one of your big time players was to go to one of your division rivals you would not feel betrayed and hurt? I did go over boarded with the career injury. But im just fustrated with the situation. I know Thompson did bad with it, but Favre did no better. I really just hope he really regrets doing this. He should of never been in any other color outside of green.
Thats his choice and I guess he loves football too much. It will be sad to see him in purple and win a super bowl. I just hope it never happens.

If it's a situation where the Giants moved on, and Michael Strahan came back and played for Dallas (And I fucking hate Dallas), no I wouldn't be pissed at him. Because the team moved on, so therefore he has the right to do the same.
Last year Packers didn't want Favre, so he made the best decision for himself and went to to be the star in New York City. This year once again another great situation opens up, a division champ with no QB, playing a system that he knew his entire career, and throw in 25 million dollars (And your coach chauffeuring you to practice), how can you say no to that??? It's perfect.

I guess im different. But to me its a slap in the face. Especially when he is a god to those people. But he really only picked the Vikings so he can stick it to the Packers front office. Now to me thats what puts it over the edge. Its not him really moving on, its him trying to prove a point and get his revenge. Now the way you would want someone moving forward.
Let him do what he wants I just wont be rooting for him to succeed like when he moved on to the Jets.
