Brett's last game (again)?

OK so GO NO in Miami!

The 2 teams that sat down & rested their players towards the end of the season in meaningless games are going to the super bowl

LETS GO BRANDON

Ha Ha, the drama queen did it again! A game losing interception near the end of the Conference Championship game. What makes this one even better is that he could have just run to the sidelines and gained about 8 yards without being touched. Would have put the Vikes in easy field goal range. Farvre just Farvred the Viking fans the same way he did the Jets and Packers fans. I don't care how old or "tough" he is. He's the polar opposite of a guy like Manning who can pull out a last second win when things look bad. Farvre is the best at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory when the season is on the line.

Now we can patiently wait while he hold the Vikings and their fans hostage over the summer after retiring and unretiring a few times.

Without Favre, the Vikes don't sniff the NFC Championship game. Do Tavaris Jackson or Sage Rosenfels do anything even remotely resembling what he did? I agree, the last pick was horrible. If All-World RB Adrian Peterson could hold onto the ball, this game is over. HE is the one to pin the loss on, IMO.

I heard that Peterson has already been invited to Times Square on December 31, 2010.









They want him to drop the ball.

I never said he was a lousy QB. He had one of his best years ever this past season. Then, he found a way to do the one thing he shouldn't have done and it cost them the game. Petersons fumbles notwithstanding, the team was still in a postion to win until Farvre threw the interception. If Peterson had been given the ball on that play and fumbled it again, the loss would be pinned on him. There seems to be a pattern of Farvre throwing the int. at the worst possible time because he tries to be the hero. He's great until he Farvres whatever team he's playing for.

Oh, and the Peterson joke is awesome!

Favre was dribbled like a basketball. The last QB that I saw take that kind of abuse was Elway. I'd bet Brett has 3-4 broken ribs from that one slam tackle alone. And kept going. There's no doubt in my mind that NO's game plan was to feed Favre dirt until he saw double and puked one up. Now it's the Saint's turn to feel pain...in their own house. GO COLTS!!

When did the Saints move to Miami and do the Dolphins know about this?

I actually like Manning, but I have to root for the Saints in this one. Being down there for the Pats game versus the Saints this year really made me appreciate the Saints fans. They were some of the nicest people I've ever met, and very gracious even after they smoked the Pats on MNF. We were surrounded by Saints fans at the Superdome and instead of busting our chops as the Saints were tearing the Pats apart, they were making excuses for the Pats like it was just an off night for them and they were a much better team than they were showing. That would never happen in New England. Not to mention that the Saints cheerleaders are super hot.

I thought it was a good game. The Vikings had the split personality though. I thought they did really good because I thought NO would blow them away , on the other hand they gave the game away with the turnovers. Oh well.

It should be an exciting superbowl. Both teams are good and can rack up the points. I pick NO by 7.
