Vikings

He’s back!

August 17, 2010

You know those reports about Favre retiring? Wrong. Completely wrong. Favre has arrived at Winter Park. Lesson? Don’t believe everything the media tell you. Think for yourself. UPDATE: My initial post was very unkind, and entirely unbecoming a minister of the Gospel. I am sorry for it.

Hitler on Favre

August 28, 2009

For the record, I’m very excited about Favre. The Vikes haven’t had a real QB (even if this one’s older than the hills) in a long, long time. I can’t wait for him to stick it to the cheeseheads. But this is seriously funny: [youtube]2VfHnCwLp14[/youtube] HT: Glenda Mumme
