Well if my comment was really that bad of an offense, then they have it pretty freakin' easy here now don't they?!

Usually, unless some person just doesn't get it.

As I said...
Now just go back to your 13th banter. Sorry if that was offensive.

Whether Favray is a "Judas" or "a friend" is interesting, yet he's 4 games in and already feeling hits pretty hard. Simply a matter of time, physics, and physiology, (and some would say injected shark piss, hormones, roids, and voodoo dolls) before the inevitable.
Oh, note to self: Take the railroad spike out of the voodoo dolls ankle... "Wrangler cain't ride with a frozen ankle".....

I don't think Favre will be back next year.

First off, no offense taken. Not having a clue is often how Grace describes me. I didn't take it as a personal shot but rather thought I may have touched a nerve based on the response. If Volusianator and Favre are buds, I can understand his jumping to #4s defense. *I am just as prone to sometimes blindly defending my friends even when the situation may not be fully warranted.*
I do not know Brett Favre. I am not in a position to have first-hand knowledge of his motivations and interactions with any of his four NFL teams. *In that sense, I suppose I don't have a clue.*
I do know what my eyeballs tell me though. *And my eyeballs tell me Favre is a me-first player who's agenda begins and ends with Brett Favre. *Does he have a passion for the game? *Probably, but it's not mutually exclusive of his narcissitic personality. Favre's all about winning? *Maybe. *So long as he's the reason for the winning. My eyeballs tell me he wants to be throwing the football and scoring on spectular, improvised plays. *He does not, for example, want to hand the ball off to AP 25 times a game - even if that gives the TEAM the best shot at winning. *There are guys who crave the ball in their hand with the game on the line. I believe Favre is one of those guys. But I also believe he consistently puts his team in the position where he needs to "lead" them back because he doesn't play smart: *he plays for the greater glory of Brett Favre.
I used to respect the guy. I used to buy the whole aw-shucks, gunslinger personnae. But after riding a river of crocodile tears out of Green Bay followed by the pathetic is he or isn't he retirement charades the last few years, I've changed my opinion of the guy. I stand by my assertion that he is a dream killer, and any title chances the Vikes have rest more in the legs of AP than the arm of #4. *Were it not for a guy named Desmond Howard, we'd talk about Favre being the greatest QB never to have won anything.*

I want to have Brett Farve's baby. Even if it's a little awkward.

We all have the right to our opinions, and at the end of the day, all that matters is that we enjoyed our cigars.

If "we" is the Bears, then yeah, the statement I was quoting was that with the Vikings playing so poorly, there's only two teams in the division to offer competition to the Bears. I was saying the Packers and who else, God knows the Lions are no threat. Then again, with all the injuries to the Packers, we're probably not much either.

Out of sheer pity I cheered when the Lions won this week. Of course I'd already smoked three cigars and had about four whiskeys by then so I may have actually been rooting for the drywall for all I know.
