Favre and the Vikings Vs. the Packers (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1369759-Favre-and-the-Vikings-Vs-the-Packers While the Belicheck blunder captures headlines around the league among many other prominent games worthy of fodder, the Vikings managed yet another victory against a lowly team. Some might find fault with the way the team went about their business toward the ultimate result. But, a win is a win, some philosophic genius once opined: [Link: 'http...[Read Full Post] Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:39:16 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/676545 I think the Packer's head coach is a vindictive man and has some 'splainin' to do.

But my son will. When prompted, my eight year old came up with a prediction of Vikings 42 and Packers 33. Granted, I was asking him how many touchdowns each team would tally. Take that for what it's worth. I'm tired of the overdone stories...[Read Full Post] Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:23:17 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/674064 I don't think the Vikings hang their heads after this one.

Too bad the game won't be telecast in Green Bay. I'll have to find a bar that's showing the game, because I want to see this one live. What we have here is Favre's toughest challenge to date. He proved he could beat the Ravens last Sunday.

This is what a game manager must be like. It wasn't Favre-like, though he showed the veteran skills to call audibles that exposed the Brown's defense on way to a 34-20 victory.
