The Sunday Viking Vegur: Wednesday Edition

Andrew reminded me about this the other day, and I was going to get right on it until. . .well, you know.  So, we're going with a mid-week edition of the Vegur so that we can get a compilation of all of the talk about the Brett Favre signing.

One little bit of bragging, though. . .prior to yesterday, our record for site hits in one day was just a shade over 9,000.  That happened the day that we were all wearing out the F5 buttons on our keyboards looking for news about T.J. Houshmandzadeh.  (Remember that guy?  Yeah, neither do I. . .although if I did remember him, I'd probably wonder whether or not he was kicking himself right now, because he probably should be.)  Yesterday, we hit that mark right around noon.  Overall, the final tally for Farvegeddon yesterday was 22,658 visits and 40,778 page views, both of which completely obliterated the single-day records for the site.  We're also well on pace to break our record for monthly visits and page views as well.  So, another big thank you has to go out to all you readers out there and everybody else that found the site through whatever means they found it through.

And, with that, your Farvegeddon roundup from yesterday comes after the jump.

Star-divide

-Over at Defensive Indifference, Jason and company are letting the news of the Favre signing finally sink in.

-At Grant's Tomb, they're looking. . .*gasp*. . .beyond this season and into the future of the Vikings' QB position.

-In the Locker Room, Luft is sorting out his Favre Feelings.

-Pacifist Viking speaks about the Favre signing, up to and including where he was when he heard the news.

-The Purple Buckeye lists his "Favregnugen" winners and losers.  (And I'll admit. . .I almost like Favregnugen better than Favregeddon.  Almost.)

-The Viking Age looks at the Beloved Purple getting ripped for the Favre signing by. . .Peter King?  Wait, what?

-Vikings Gab brings us "Dollars, Doggy-Doo, and Dipsticks," which might be the best title for an article we see this year.

-Vikes Geek says that the Favre signing is just what the doctor ordered.

-Viking Nation has their take about #4 signing with the Vikings as well.

-The guys at Viking Vigil think that signing Favre is a great move for the franchise.

And there you go. . .all sorts of different perspectives about the conclusion of Favregeddon for you to chew on this Wednesday morning.  They're all great reads, so please support all the Vikings bloggers out there by giving them a couple minutes of your time.

You can believe it

Actually, I am the Vikings Examiner and this is my first comment here, but I have had the Daily Norseman on my web page for some time and have enjoyed checking out what goes on here. I have a feeling with Favre on the squad, it is only going to get more interesting.

Madden would verbally felate Favre.

you are the most negative viking fan if you are one

all of your posts are about how things are screwed up with the team and how much you hate one of our teammates way to go team player.

You Don't have to

Drink the koolaid to be a fan. We don’t need him and it was a waste of 12 mil. and he is the only negative thing I have said about this team. I have been a fan for better then 30 years yo little pudnocker

Excuse me if I spent the last 16 years hating Favre and everything Packer related and then in 1 day I’m supposed to swallow my pride and cheer for this bastard. Especially after he has already lied to us. Some of you find it easy. I don’t.

Favre salary cap implications and Vikings cash flow problems

Interesting story from Mike Florio on what the Favre deal shows about the cash flow problems the Vikings have and by implication why if a stadium deal isn’t done soon the Wilfs may have no choice but to move the team.

They wont be moving…there will be so much money being brought in after this year

Ok, 1 good thing about Favre, thank you. I am searching furiously for #2.

by Heech on Aug 19, 2009 3:44 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Like I said in another spot We may be rid of Chilly by years end by bringing Favre

by BP31 on Aug 20, 2009 12:04 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

The move suggests that the Vikings are low on cash in 2009, and that they are already tapping into future years to pay for Favre’s services.

yay! he’s not only going to shank our 09 season but we’ll feel the pain for years to come! great move!
