Go VIKES go Farv!

In my opinion, the people of Wisconsin have a very large inferiority complex, when it comes to the state of Minnesota. The free agent signing of Brett Favre has brought out the core, unfiltered, unadulterated feelings of one state towards the other: Wisconsin hates Minnesota. Personally, I don't have a problem with that. All it took was a Hall of Fame QB to decide that he had a better chance with one team than the other, and the gloves came off. The Packers cast him aside, so he should retire...so they thought. Other than let him sign with MN last year, they trade him to the other conference with a bunch of penalty laden stipulations, so he can't be traded to MN. Yes, I believe he thinks the Vikings are a better team than the Packers, when he signed, and this very day. A big slap in the face to the state of Wisconsin? No, I don't think so. Ted and Mike couldn't control him, so they cut him loose. I think the Packer fans should be more about supporting a team that was absolutely dominated by the Vikings...TWICE, rather than dwelling on name calling, sheep ........, and the general low brow insecurity that follows this type of, and never been seen before, change within the division. For the record, your management and coaches thought he was through, and who are you to deny a man who is able to work, a chance to work? Would the people of Wisconsin rather see Brett Favre standing at the entrance of Lambeau as a greeter, much like retired heavyweights Joe Louis and Joe Frazier in Las Vegas? More than likely, this is a one year deal for #4. I have enjoyed about 95% of it, and it is most definitely the most captivating season for me in 10 years. Here we are, both teams are in the playoffs. It doesn't happen that often. Let's enjoy it, and the next person to say a disparaging word against the other team, be held in contempt. I am more than happy to let the Vikings to represent my state, without any malice toward anyone else. Rodgers, Favre, Peterson, Grant, Woodson, Driver, Longwell, Jennings, the Williams', Harvin, Rice, Matthews, Finley, Shiancoe, Allen...have all had great years, despite their coaches. Let THEM settle it from here on, and nobody gets to boast unless their team WINS the Super Bowl. Anyone who has a problem with this is...a POOPYHEAD!! LOL
I am from Wisconsin, and I really could give a rats azz if Favre is playing for the Vikes, or anyone else for that matter. I think he is a great quarter back, and will root for him no matter who he plays for. Yep, the Vikes whipped the Pack good, so what, it is a game, that I do not play, so no big deal to me.
Good! So it won't be big deal that you'll be donning a purple #4 jersey in the very near future? lol
Absolutely dominated by the Vikings TWICE?
Uhmmmmm,.....
Don't know what game you were watching the First time?
The first matchup had the Packers clumsily turning the ball over in Red Zone
3 times, and missing a "gimme" field goal. Final Score: Minnesota 30 -- Green Bay 23
EVEN with Rodgers on his back 5 times, if those red zone blunders were just "field goals",
Packers win Easily. Now, when they faced the Vikings at home, different story. Vikes
were In the Packers Heads, and really Kicked their arses.
So, for the record, They were only "dominated" ONCE.
Now, as far as match-ups against OTHER opponents. Packers looked clearly a better team.
No matter How you look at it. That is a fact.
As a documented 2009 season fact, The Packers, (win or lose) played more consistently than the Vikes. (or most other teams actually).
Wish a couple of those (if this or thats) would have worked in the Packers favor, THEY would be having the weekend Bye. Oh Well.
Inferiority complex to the State of Minnesota? Oh boy. Favre Complex,... maybe.
It is weird though, that out of ALL the Pro sports,..... It seems that Football does seem
to be the one that gets the Border Wars all fired up.
College Football, Baseball, Basketball,... Each State's fans give "ribbings" but all in all
Both States Party together and what ever the score is,... Oh well.
But Some How, The Vikes and the Packers story seems to be different.
Passion,...
Gotta Love it.
Good Take though Jroz.
Ribbing is great, Name Calling is kinda stupid I agree,....
I do like sheep however,...
)
After Looking at the Facts,.. I believe the Packers made the right decision in the Favre
case,.... AND the Vikings made the right decision in picking him up. Win or Lose,... One thing us Wisconsin and Minnesota fans will ALWAYS have in common,.... We BOTH will have
had the chance to cheer the Same Guy on. And will BOTH have Great memories of him with our teams. Brett is a Superior Player and "one-of-a-kind",... and we should All be thankful we got to experience that.
Would a Vikings vs. Packers NFC Championship Game be great? You Betcha Der Eh!)
If Both teams played to their current potential, it would, and should be a fantastic matchup. Either way, I'd rather see an NFC NORTH team in the big game than anyone else in the Pool.
Now,..... I better sign off and feed the sheep.)
oh ya, and the Crows also. No matter who has to eat it,...
Might as well be a nice fattened bird to choke down.
Cheers to us all!

)Well said Bigvin. Remember, Brett retired from the Packers, Management did not let him go. Yes he wanted to come back but the Packers already went in another direction and I think that is working out well for them. You can also argue that management forced Brett into retirement. You can also argue that Brett retired in hopes that the Packers would release him so he go to another team. The fact of the matter is no one really knows the whole truth. Like Skylar said, it is only a game and arguing back and forth does not change or accomplish anything. I will admit it is kind of entertaining listening to some of the comments. Lol.
This is the type of passion that is needed all over. Can you imagine 2 great teams with a great fan base filling up the stadium to capacity? Parking lots PACKED with tailgators, people buying and selling team jerseys, beer sales through the roof. Bellys full of hotdogs and peanuts. We need even more of this passion.
Capitalism and the joy of our neighbors, lets get 2010 off to a great year!!

(I think posted this before but its worth repeating i think)
I just like to drink beer, watch football and forget about life for about 3 hours every sunday. Im not sure why some people let it consume their life to the point they call people names on the internet. Its a game that is purley for entertainment purposes. Ribbing is fun to a point, but the back an forth about farve is ridiculous. Who gives a rats azz?
