"Business is business and whether they like it or not that’s the way it is. As I told Tarvaris, ‘I don’t expect you to like it.’ As Tarvaris did, he’s a highly competitive guy, he came back and played very well. That benefits him, that benefits us. There is no downside to that. I don’t expect those guys to like it. I expect them to deal with it and go forward and by and large that’s exactly what has happened."

I think it would be wrong for any player to come out and state that they do not support TJack.

When you have 2 QB’s, one that was just handed the key’s right after being signed and one that has been starting for the most part over 3 years, yeah, you will have divided thoughts on the subject in the locker room. Now, whether this spills into something ugly when the season hit’s it T.J. stays with the team remains to be seen. You can have 3 possibilities with this.

First one, Farve actually does resemble the Farve of 5 years ago and by mid season, the team as a whole regaurds him as the man leaving T.J. seriously contemplating his future and/or demanding a trade. Where that would be, who knows, but at this point, I think the Alaskan Command would be babout the only place he would be going.

Second, by midseason Farve’s bosy has proven it is used up and has nothing left and T.J. has been handed the key’s……..again. The ones who were the pro-Farve camp profusely apologizing and asking “Thank You Sir, may I have another?!?!” during the team flogging.

The 3rd (and probably more likely to come true, my thoughts/prediction) is that Farve’s body is shot, T.J. get’s the key’s again and is still T.J. leading to the key’s going to Sage game 10 of the season at which heads are going to explode in the locker room because heads will be spinning so fast that even Linda Blair wouldnt be able to keep up in Excorcist form.

But the way I hope, no matter what happens, we don’t have a free for all teamwise because it will be a loooooooooooooooong season no matter who is passing the ball.

Its a great advantage having David Hasselhoff as our coach.

So lets get this striaght

A guy who couldn’t handle a swimming pool is in charge of our high-powered, often-feared, always-beloved Vikings? Makes sense.

ESPN can choke on it

This crap is all over their site right now.

If you listen to what their saying, it’s all speculation.

Almost as bad as Fox News.

‘And the wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws’.

Whoa easy now...

Jackson wasn’t going to be the starter anyways. It was going to be Sage. So Favre’s presence really doesn’t affect Tarvaris. And for those of you still keen on Jackson don’t you remember last year’s playoff game? That was not an nfl caliber QB out there. Jackson has great physical tools but he can’t handle pressure. I mean, sure he looked good on those 8 completions against KC’s second string but Favre has a bit more going for him.

The team was 8-3 with Frerotte last season and did better with Gus than Jackson. They’ll do just fine with Favre at the helm. I mean how the hell are people even debating whether or not Brett is a better QB than TJack? I mean, there isn’t a debate here. Favre still has a cannon and as long as no new injury occurs he’ll make it through the season. Remember, this guy isn’t exactly injury prone.

I think there was a 50% chance

that Jackson would be the starter ……before the arrival of Favre anyway.

But then again,
Favre coming in at the end of T-camp was probably planned all along.

It’s hard to guess what happened. Brad Childress is a shady-bastard!

Slow Media Cycle

Bastids have nothing else to talk about, so they manufacture controversy.

Don’t get onto their rollercoaster, unless you like hurling :)

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!
