Patrick Crayton Speaks Out on Brett Favre

Why Patrick Crayton felt the need to speak up publicly about Brett Favre and the Packers situation is beyond me. It’s amusing that the one Dallas Cowboy player to make a comment to gain traction is the one who cost the Cowboys a playoff win. And yet, I find it difficult to reprimand him. Crayton called the Packer situation a “soap opera”, and also noted that Cowboys training camp has been controversy free.

Just Let the Vikings Have Him!

Brett Favre is a mess. We don’t care about him. We don’t want to hear about him anymore. But as non-Green Bay Packer fans, we would LOVE to see him suit up in Vikings purple.

The only people who don’t want to see Favre as a Viking work for the Packers organization. But it’s good for football. The NFL would greatly benefit from a Favre/Minnesota combo. More tickets would sell. More jerseys would sell. More people would watch games. The season opener would be ridiculous. What’s not to love?

If they really want to screw the pooch, trade him to Chicago. Much less sensational of a story, but Chicago is impotent at this point and won’t be a serious threat. Favre makes Minnesota a contender and Chicago a little more than a joke.

Adrian Peterson would welcome the air support to keep the defense on their toes while he racks up another 1,400+ yard season.

As a fan, I want Favre in purple. Make it happen. Do whatever it takes. Make the NFC interesting again. Give us three legitimate contenders in NYG, Dallas, and Minnesota. Then we’ll have some great football to watch this Fall as the greats battle it out.

Or don’t. Let Favre sit on the sidelines for $12 million or whatever ridiculous amount he makes. Maybe get him to make the drinks. Get something for your money! Sheesh.

Favre Injured by Dallas Defense

I’m watching the Cowboys vs. Packers on NFL Network via KDFI Channel 27. It’s been one of those crazy games where Brett Favre has taken WAY TOO MANY chances and it’s cost him two interceptions in the first half. Favre kept looking for the long bomb and kept missing his target when he should have been looking to hit a mid-range receiver in the middle of the field.

The Packers are walking out of the locker room as I type. Dallas is leading Green Bay, 27-17. In the second quarter, Brett Favre took a hit to his throwing arm.

We’re into the second half now. Favre is on the sidelines. Let’s see how Green Bay handles this injury.

At the commercial break (9:27pm CST), Green Bay actually managed to score a touchdown! Figures that they would rally after Brett Favre gets hurt. It’s 27-24. Dallas leads by three.

God, I love watching Marion Barber run! He looks and acts and plays like a warrior!

Romo Versus Favre: NFL Thursday

In the largest game of the NFC this season, Brett Favre will lead his Green Bay Packers down to Texas and try to reverse his 0-9 losing streak at Texas Stadium. It’s NFL Thursday, and the game is only available on the NFL Network.

With Patrick Crayton healthy and the Cowboys defense on the upswing, give the points on this one. Cowboys beat the Packers by 8-10 points at least this week. But don’t you worry. This won’t be a snoozer. Expect this game to be one aerial display after another.

Expect Owens to score two TDs and either Crayton, Hurd, or Witten to score another. You should probably throw in at least one rushing touchdown for good measure. Favre will put up at least three touchdowns, only to be outdone by his pupil, the soon-to-be-great Tony Romo. Yes, I nearly called him great. Romo doesn’t have the championships yet, so we’ll relegate him to “almost” status.

But mark my words. The nearly great Romo will not cease to amaze this Thursday. Only I and millions of Americans won’t know it until Friday morning since we don’t have the stupid NFL Network… How exclusionary.
