I agree with you on the hits out there. They were obviously headhunting and I would have thought their head coach(who is actually friends with Favre) would want his team to play with a little more class. A couple of those shots should have been personal fouls including the one that bummed out his ankle.
As far as how much you enjoyed that season, all I can say is I enjoyed most of his career and i have seen how he plays and I know he is no prima donna. He plays with heart, flair and zeal and it is easy to fall in love with that. If it is his last season, I will truly miss him as there are no others like him currently playing the game.
As far as getting beaten up out there, I dare say most players would have left the game for good, but not Favre. He is a true warrior and is still better and more fun to watch than your perfectly borish(but excellent) automatons like Peyton Manning
In the end it was a Minnesota loss. 6 fumbles and a crucial mistake(12 men in the huddle) as well as 2 interceptions(One that sealed their fate and sadly it is a reality of Favre's career) from Brett. Too many mistakes to win against a championship caliber team.
I was going to root for the Saints if they won as I have always had a soft spot for their plight of ineptness throughout their team history, but the atrociously game plan in bad taste(i.e...headhunting...I would have expected that from the Jets head coach...not the Saints) that I am torn as to who to pull for come Superbowl.

Exactly the right word Greg, classless. True, it is football as he says, but if you can't tell the difference between normal sacks (clean hits) and what the Saints were up to, you're really just trying not to notice. It was pretty obvious to everyone I talked to, and they ain't all Favre fans.
Still, the Vikes lost because of bad coaching and Brett's pick. But if I were the Vikes, I would have been tempted to take the 15 yard penalties and return the shots against their QB. |

Not that it matters, but nice to see someone noticed the lack of a penalty for this particular cheap shot (among the many)

I really don't understand the meaning of The Pro Bowl. Are players really going to risk injury?. I guess the only incentive is the extra $ the winning team gets, othet than that it seems the game is meaningless.

ok everybody lets get this topic kickin'
Of course, The Saints have the best defense. Manning will play his best, but I think Drew Brees will have at least three TD by halftime and I think The Saints are going to blow them out
Pro Bowl was not bad. I did get my football fix
Saints by 10
34-24

I'm a Saints fan 100%....my wife is a Cajun coon-a$$ so we are rootin for the boys to pull it off. But like I said before the NFC game...this one will be tight, close, SB may replicate the NFC game, coming down to the wire. Although if Peyton has the ball down 3 with 2 minutes to go...Saints loose.
...wait....
Unless he throws a pick...which he probably will not but I do expect the Saints secondary to create the chance for many picks in the game. Saints dismantled the Pats defense, I think they can do the same Sunday....but I also feel Peyton will match TD's....its gonna come down to who can convert turnovers into points. That being said I think the Saints have the advantage on picks.
Saints 27 Colts 21

Sounds good Pat, that's about where I'm at too. Maybe 7-10 points.

during the pro bowl at halftime, there was an interview with Manning and Brees. I got the feeling that Brees is more wiley, more ready, full of confidence. Manning's Colts have the pressure on them to win, whereas the Saints are just going to have fun and play smashmouth. Just the look on Brees' face said "we are not going away, we have tricks and we are ready"
So, once again, Saints by 10
34-24

If football (American style) was played anywhere else other than the US (yes, I know, and two more nations), at the same high level, maybe the winner could go on to try for an ACTUAL world championship (you know, one where you face other countries AROUND the world). Just like in European soccer or latin america soccer or soccer form every continent, once you are champion of your country, you get the privilege to play in a special cup for champions. So there's like this extra "something" that the winner of a tournament has. Not to forget that said tournaments entail millions of dollars for the clubs and therefore are a real big prize... But of course, one could say "winning that special cup is the same, a few minutes of joy and that's it. It just went by..." Well, that's true. That's true of every single sport. But those little minutes of extra joy are what give meaning to all the endless time of hard work. |

How often do you really think that games come down to people's attitude's or psychological factors? It's going to come down to which teams have better athletes and better coaches with some amount of random factors mixed in there. And do you really think Brees and the Saints feel no pressure after dominating the NFC all year and being the first Saints team in the Superbowl? They feel no pressure working their entire lives to win one game. Now that they're in that game don't you think there's a little bit of pressure to do well to justify your entire career up until this point? If you want to go with pressure the Colts have been in a superbowl before and have one won. They won the Superbowl in the same stadium, staying in the same hotel, and practicing at the same facilities that they are this year. Peyton Manning is already a hall of fame quarterback, and he's already one of the top 5 of the modern era. Seems like a pretty comfortable spot for them.

sorry bout that, but your'e right. Games are not decided by attitudes or psychological factors. It's just that when L.T. released his dance groove video before the game with The Jets, I felt that hurt The Chargers.
Well, the Chargers lost. Is that because L.T. released his video? of course not. But I say yes. Just because Brees has that "look" on his face doesn't mean The Saints are going to win.
But, IN ANY SPORT, when you "hipnotize while you mezmorize" its black on white. And if you don't know what I mean by that, just play a pick-up basketball game in Philly. All blacks versus all whites. They (The blacks) know how to fool you, to "hipnotize while they mezmorize" (I'm talking about the way they look at you when they are dribbling) and Iv'e been told that I can use certain "psychological" factors, stances on the sideline, for example, to use.
Brees' face last sunday at halftime was not the face Ive seen before when he was a Charger. He LOOKS like the more captain of his team. Like he knows what his team can and cannot do.
Manning makes Verizon commercials. He is living on his past.

Let's hope I am wrong, because I'd love to see a competitive game and I'm pulling for the Saints, but I'm guessing this will be one of those more or less blowouts...better enjoy the commercials, The Who, and whatever gastronimical disaster you have in mind. Colts 37, Saints 17.

Yeah, I will admit (and I usually never would say this) the Colts DEFENSE is pretty good, for once. Probably better than hey get credit for, outside those 2 DE's, but I would be surprised if they can hold the Saints low.
And the Saints D is deff one of the best. Look at what they've done all year, and to the Vikings O-Line Oh, and sorry if I said this already....but to all those that said Favre's body will hold up this time and I disagreed......ouch, sorry. That game was said, he looked like a 80 year old that got beat up. Well, here's to the Saints |
