Fran Tarkenton has put it on the record that he wouldn’t be pleased with the Vikings adding Brett Favre to the fold for the 2009 season… “I think it’s despicable. What he put the Packers through last year… It just wasn’t about Brett Favre. In this day and time, we have glorified the Brett Favre’s of the world so much, they think it’s about them. He goes to New York and bombs. He’s 39 years old. How would you like Ray Nitschke in his last year (playing for) the Vikings, or I retire, and go play for the Packers. I kind of hope it happens, so he can fail… [H}e’s been glorified so much. He’s been a great player, there’s no question about it, but it’s all about him. It is supposed to be all about your team. If you’re going to be the quarterback of your team, you need to be there in the off season workouts in March and April. Peyton Manning’s there. Tom Brady’s there… I think he has been a great flamboyant quarterback, but he has made more stupid plays than any great quarterback that I’ve ever seen. Look at his final game in a Packers uniform. He blew that game against the Giants… they’re in a tight situation, they went to overtime and he (Favre) throws the interception that allows them (the Giants) to come back and win the game. He has done that and driven his coaches crazy all of his career.” http://sportsradiointerviews.com/2009/05/2...vres/#more-8033 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 A communist GM logo? Maybe the employees should turn it into a cooperative. It's been done with other companies that go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 blast what? Someone well known in the sports world having not only the IQ to see Favre (and his antics and groupies/apologists) for what it all is but also the nads to say so? That's refreshing as hell.
