Watched some of the hyped up Denver at Indy game last night. Indy fans gave Peyton a nice welcome that even the announcers said was classy.
IIRC Brett Favre got the exact opposite in GB. No matter, unlike Peyton, he shredded the Cheeseheads.
You mean, like this game???
Yep - ya had Fav-ray - NOW YER GOIN' TO THE SUPER BOWL!!! (as long as ya bought tix, like regular fans...)
Bwahahahahahahahahhaha
HEY, maybe you can ask the Wilfies if they can have Y. A. Tittle dug up and in uniform in time to replace Freeman next game.. Whatta ya say BG??
In any case, Peyton didn't chit on his fans like Fav-ray did.. And both got what they deserved..
Yeah, kinda silly that Viking fans hang their hat on the fact that Favre swept the Packers his first year there. What they don't mention is how that was the ONLY decent thing he did for Minnesota, and was the beginning of the end for him. Pack fans everywhere were ROFLMAO over his throwing of a completely boneheaded interception to end their SB hopes, as well as "Croc-gate" and being swept by GB the following year, who then, coincidentally went on to actually WIN the SB with Rodgers, while the vikes missed the playoffs with Favre.
If you think those two games Favre's first year in Minni sting Pack fans...well, maybe a little at the time. But our sides HURT LIKE A MOFO from laughing so hard at the reality of Favre and the Vikings and the Packers and Rodgers as it all unfolded the following year. I think the Packers clearly got the last few laughs outta that whole deal.
Still ROFLMAO...."Favre goes back....rolls out of pocket, he throws......INTERCEPTION!!!!!!! WHY DID HE DO THAT?!!!"
Favre was a great qb....when he had a great coach. But he got too head strong, self important, and after Holmgren, none of his subsequent coaches could control him or had the balls to "sit a legend" when he repeatedly did things his own way and refused to do it the coaches way. Favre got the better of himself, both in and out of games, and with Homgren gone and Irv Favre gone, I really believe he was just a kid running loose.
Ted Thompson advised Favre to just retire and "preserve his legacy". He should have listened, because the following 3 years fiddle [bleep] around with the Jets (and their Deanna younger twin looking "game day host") and the Vikings completely destroyed his image. His legacy may recover, given time, but he shouldn't hold his breath.
