That was a great game to watch, but it sure was ugly. If anything will beat Farve into retirement again, it might have been this game. Man did he take a beating. I know you Packer fans don't want to hear it, and one in particular ;), But I was rooting for him. Have been all season.

CLL · January 24, 2010, 10:49:25 PM

Congrats to all you cajuns and others too. Really hated to see either team lose. Wanted to see Jets beat Colts, not that I like the Jets just don't like Payton!

rickywashere · January 25, 2010, 12:02:16 AM

after the beating they gave the cowboys i enjoyed every hit on ol number 4 .. i lost all respect for him after that 4th down touchdown pass last week.. besides drew finally gets his shot after being let go by the chargers

Jeff · January 25, 2010, 12:15:24 AM

Give me a break on the running that score up line. This is the NFL. Why didn't they just yell mercy and walk off the field? Did the cowboys really feel the need to be mollycoddled? If so they should be in a lesser league.

ibseeker · January 25, 2010, 12:41:21 AM

Tough way for the Vikings to lose. Bet they want that call back or maybe they were worried about AP fumbling again? I hate to see that last pass be Favre's legacy. He's a great one.

Good for Drew Brees and the Saints. As a former full time Charger fan, I can say that Brees never had a fair chance here. Rivers is AJ Smith's guy and it was just a matter of time.
Brees has always been a class act and he deserves all the best.

So, now I'm a Saints fan.....who dat?

at least until next Chargers season.

Farve really took a beating that's for sure. I still think he's one tough sob, not one whine out of him. Oh well I still have the memory of the cowboys getting creamed last weekend to keep me happy. ;D

Cedarman · January 25, 2010, 07:45:50 AM

Superbowl will be fun for us. Jane loves the Colts and I usually do too. But Drew is a Purdue grad and that takes precedence for me. We usually have 4 or 5 couples over to watch and have fun. Last year we didn't care who did what. If it is close, things could get exciting here.

I liked Brett too. Minn lost the game more than the Saints winning it. Hate to see that be Bretts last pass.

Magicman · January 25, 2010, 08:06:40 AM

Brett was playing against his "hometown hero" team. He grew up in Kiln, Mississippi, which is less than 75 miles from NO. We always root for Brett, but in this instance, we had been hoping for a NO win much longer.

The Manning legacy began in NO with Archie, so this Colts vs NO is a special matchup for us. We can't loose.

LOGDOG · January 25, 2010, 08:49:53 AM

You're right Magicman. I personally have always liked Brett. Being from WI I was naturally a Packers fan. Part of me wanted to see him have one last Super Bowl opportunity in case he decides to retire again. But the Saints haven't made it this far in a long, long time. It'll be a big morale booster if they win the Super Bowl. Good close game all the way. But that field goal at the end ...right down the middle. What a beauty. He should be proud of that kick for sure.

Next time I go to Hattiesburg, I'll have to take a picture of Brett's entrance to his place. Very nice. Sometimes you'll see him on that big enclosed cab JD cutting grass.

If you "Google Earth" his place, it will make your eyes pop out.....

Burlkraft · January 25, 2010, 10:06:55 AM

For me the game was "interesting"

There's a lot of mixed feelings around here. I was glad to see the Saints win.
I was one of the biggest Bart Fvraare fans around, but like I tell Jill, I was a Packer fan long before I was a Fvraare fan ;D ;D

Tough old boy........but now it's time for him to hang it up and let us fans get over our feelings and have him come back to Lambeau and retire his number 4

wi woodcutter · January 25, 2010, 12:35:36 PM

Maybe I am just bitter but I have NO love for Farve. I was very glad that the Saints won. It would have made me sick to see him go to the Super Bowl. I really hope that they never retire his number in Green Bay after all the BS he has pulled in the last couple of years.

Jeff · January 25, 2010, 12:44:13 PM

It sure is a different perception from this side of lake Michigan. It always appeared to me that when he decided he wanted to keep playing that Green Bay didn't really have his old spot available for him. So he moved on. You have a pretty good young Quarterback, so why the bitterness? Maybe I'm missing something important. He wasn't doing the Golf thing and sleeping with your wives and daughters was he? Wasn't he just giving his all on the Football Field?

You should try and be a Lions Fan and see what real and utter ad eternal disappointment is all about.

beenthere · January 25, 2010, 01:30:07 PM

My thoughts are that Green Bay didn't kick Favre out, and he started cooking up this deal with Childress several years ago, and was what he thought to be his ticket to get into the Superbowl. He faked retirement, with that plan to go to the Vikings. Then when GB didn't go with that plan, he had to take the opening with the Jets. Then he retired again, so no one cared so much when he went to the Vikings (other than his loyal, snubbed GB fans).

He is no doubt good, but time for him to retire while still being good.
I was glad to see his butt kicked yesterday. Was the "spanking" he deserved three to four years ago when he slacked off in GB. But there is always more to a good quarterback and that is his own team, that is either working with him or against him.

I see the Vikings are now talking of getting Vick as their quarterback. Are they tossing out Favre, or is he retiring for the third time. ??

And that "When the St's go Marching In" tune just keeps reverberatin in my head. 8) 8)

Kick 'dem pony's

dnalley · January 25, 2010, 02:00:13 PM

What better way to take the starch out of an opposing QB than all the cheap shots Favre had to take (referee sanctioned, evidently) in the first half....and not just the ones that were called!! Look out Manning!! 'Course the refs probably won't put up with that on him...

wi woodcutter · January 25, 2010, 02:21:28 PM

I agree with BT. He had planned this hole deal with the Vikings long ago. That is why I don't have any time for him. Almost like he was sticking it to the Packers. The way he left Green Bay was a slap in his fans face in a lot ways. Those fans that supported him for many years. Farve does not deserve to have his number retired in Green Bay with the way he left.

Norm · January 25, 2010, 02:36:51 PM

As a lifelong Vikings fan all I can add is nah nah na nah nah. :D

That could change if they're dumb enough to take Vick....come on Brett one more year!

Guys that's all in good fun, really it's just a game and nothing more. I don't care how much I dislike the cowboys watching Romo get hurt or any other player that loves the game for that matter is no fun....well maybe I'd make an exception for TO. ;D

To make matters worse I still root for the Cubs.

The Chubs! Anybody but the Chubs! You got to be kidding me!

I have lots of funny stories about Brewer vs Cubs down at Miller Park.

red oaks lumber · January 25, 2010, 08:31:43 PM

i have a few things to say ... first minn. virsus dallas it's 4th and 1 do you kick the feild goal? no that looks like your running up the score, so you throw a pass only thing was big"d" like all game long couldn't stop it .
before the minn- n.o. game i had respect for the saints not anymore, simple game plan.. do whatever is nessary to take out the qb. i'm not a vikings fan but, how blantandt were to hits .
the saga with farve leaving greenbay? inside info tells of a different story, brett wanted to come back to g.b. but a certain somebody#12 told the front office if brett comes back i want to play for another team, i'm tired of playing backup. that bit of info never made the paper. no matter where brett goes im still a fan, even at 40 he still does things the young guns may never be able to do.
jeff, you guys have one tough qb in detroit keep the faith your time is coming..

DWM II · January 25, 2010, 08:51:18 PM

Jeff, we down here know exactly how it feels to root for the eternal "loser" similar to your Lions, but keep your head high and wait like we did and yall may have your day like us! 8) For the record I love Favre! If they had won there is no doubt I would have been cheering him and the Vikes on, Edwards, Allen, Peterson, Harvin and the whole bunch. Not that I dislike the Colts, but Im an NFC fan first. Oh by the way,
WHO DAT!
