If you don't think this is about Ticket/Jersey Sales...

A lot is being made about the Chilly being the one in control of this. I think that is bogus. The Wilf's are about making money, they are also about winning, but they are about winning both on the field and off. With Farve, MN is now one of the hot comodities for TV broadcasts, most certainly his jersey will sell like crazy and I doubt that their will be any problems with local blackouts this year. I am guessing they don't think this hurts the stadium deal either.
SO, before we all get talking about who the better option would be, comparing ratings and theories about how defenses will actually back off the line with Farve and wouldn't with Rosenackson, let's just keep it real for a momement. This move is about Finance first, Superbowl second.
Keep in mind one thing: MN was at the bottom of the NFL in revenue. The bottom...the Wilf's are putting their money into making this team good.
SInce I am a fan of the polls...

blackouts will occur
when the team is 1-5 with not chance at the playoffs because Brett “fucking” Favre ruined the team chemistry and pretty much single handedly destroyed the little bit of credibility that Childress had left.
HAHAHAHAHA
Yeah we’re going to go 1-5 against the Browns, Lions, 49ers, Packers (at home), and Rams….even with poor QB play we still could go 4-5 just with our D and run game.

Fantasy Football Save!
Hell yeah! The ESPN site let Revenge4Favre pick Favre as a QB. If this hadn’t happened, R4F would have seriously screwed, lol.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
SKOL!
Point of order
Available season tickets for single spots are now reduced to the Lower Level corners, rows 35 & higher, and upper level mid-rows. All the rest is sold out.
I think Zygi’s having a good day.
When you go to somebody's house, you don't crap on their floor. Being a fan of one team does NOT give you license to be a dick to fans of another.
