Prior to Sunday’s game against the Cowboys, Brett Favre gave his word that he’d sing the R&B hit “Pants on the Ground” after the game if the Vikings won. Check out the video on this page.
So while you were crying in your beer (or in my case, my green tea), Favre was getting his groove on… sort of.
Take a look at the best running back in the league (barring Chris Johnson). This is what the Cowboys have to stop in order to succeed this weekend.
It’s time to get pumped up for this game! Are you ready? Let’s talk Vikes. Know thy enemy. Well, boys and girls, here he is. ENEMY #1 for the week is Brett “Prima Donna” Favre. He took the Burger King slogan to heart and he’s having it HIS way. No single player in the NFL draws media attention like Brett Favre. Sorry, T.O.
Now it’s time to see what this 40 year-old quarterback is made of. Are you ready?
It’s official: The Dallas Cowboys 13-year playoff victory drought is OVER! Last weekend the Cowboys did what only few other teams have done in the NFL, they defeated an opponent for the third time in one season. Dallas claimed their third win over division foe Philadelphia Saturday night allowing them to advance to the next round of the NFL Playoffs.
1st Key: No More Penalties! Especially offensive penalties. Last week the Cowboys could have had at least two more scores if it wasn’t for penalties.
I know the crazy stat where the Cowboys have a winning record in the games where they have more penalties for more yards, but that won’t cut it in the playoffs.
Remember when everyone in Dallas was crying about not getting a sack in the first two games of the season? Fans were wondering if DeMarcus Ware had a masculinectomy. Then the magic moment came and Dallas started piling on the sacks. But how do they compare with other defenses in the league?
I took a quick look this morning at the trusty stats sheet, and located the top three dynamic duo sackaholics in the NFL. Let’s take a look.
For the first time in probably seven, eight years I am drinking the #4 colored/Favre flavored Kool-Aid that was made in Mississippi. And if you have read my blog earlier this season on the media’s worshipfulness of this NFL icon, you might have been able to determine that I was tired of him; yes I was sick of his antics, his legacy, etc. But I realized, after he wore J-E-T-S green last year and then wore Purple & Gold this year, that I have rediscovered a long lost appreciation for just what he is.
Brett Favre means EVERYTHING to the game. Agree? Disagree? I do, so please humor me…
You have to see it. Adrian Peterson just destroys William Gay. Love it. Peterson is a beast.

I gotta watch that again.
If you haven’t seen it, read about it or been made aware of it yet, on Monday night ESPN preseason football QB Brett Favre of the Minnesota Vikings made an illegal ‘crackback block’ on Houston Texans safety Eugene Wilson. It was an obvious penalty and Favre was flagged for it. He probably will be fined by the NFL. There seem to be no significant or even minor injuries as a result, and the game concluded. It pretty much ought to be a non-story as far as I am concerned.
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?
