Where do you begin but at the ending of yesterday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Favre was brilliant and showed he still has that old magic... http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-cant-miss-plays/09000d5d812f33ea/WK-3-Can-t-Miss-Play-Favre-s-game-winner The doubters better become believers after that victory snatched from defeated jaws. Favre did have three drives to finish that game on Sunday. But the last three and out by the 9ers with the depletion of the Vikings timeouts left the... [More]

I'm branching out and trying new locations on the web to share my insights and the latest on Brett Favre, which can be found here: http://briankeithcompton.blogspot.com/ Or, I'll post what it says right here: Give Mr. Favre His Respect Back It's not too late. You can still jump back on the bandwagon. He's not in green and yellow any more and purple with horns might seem an acquired taste, but you still love him. Come on. The Vikings stand alone atop the NFC Nor... [More]

Brett Favre was Kerry Collins-like in his debut with the Minnesota Vikings today against the Cleveland Browns. 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. Going 14-21 with 110 passing yards and a TD pass, the old QB was the 2009 version of what the Tennessee Titan's resurrected in Collins last year. And it makes you think of the possibilities. Fa...

I went to the "Eve of Destruction" demoltion/monster truck show in Kaukauna last night. It was my first time and was entertaining...for me. There were about 12,000 people in attendance and assured to have a great number of Packer backers. One of the events was an annual tradition with a twist. They have cars play a game of football with an LP tank filled with sand. Pretty much anything goes, since it's a demolition show. Usually, it's a Packers/Bears rivalry. The twist this ye... [More]

So now the truth is out? http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/09/10/jets-gm-admits-he-shouldve-listed-favre-on-injury-report/ Yes, he was hurt and he took the blame for the Jets inability to make the post season. Anyone going to give Brett Favre credit for playing through the pain and giving his team a chance at going to the playoffs? I think Mangini erred in how Favre was used. He should have been mostly a decoy, but they tried to get him to throw the ball deep in situations where th... [More]

It was no mystery Favre was hurt at the end of last season. And now the current Minnesota Viking QB has some insight into the matter, capsized and linked in a piece at profootballtalk.com where they put their own unique conspiratorial spin on it... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2009/09/09/favre-says-mangini-should-have-benched-him/ You want to spin it even further, then consider the fact that Favre had nothing to play for by the end of the 2008 season. He'd already proven he cou... [More]

For someone who's old with the kind injuries he alleges, Brett Favre threw a mean block on the field against Houston Texans cornerback Eugene Wilson last night, drawing a penalty and talk from some that he should be fined... http://blogs.startribune.com/vikingsblog/?p=3251 Regardless, whatever rust accumulated on his armor he officially shook off with 13-18 completions, 142 yards passing and a 28-yard TD pass. He looked good drawing the Texans offsides with his signal calling and crisp... [More]
