Tick Tock


What is that sound? It is the sound of the Brett Favre meltdown. We are getting a preview tonight of the first round Viking playoff exit. Here is what Brett did in the decisive 3rd quarter against Arizona - 2 interceptions and taking a big sack on 3rd and five.

Can we be honest here for a moment? Why is Favre having a good year? Because the Vikings offense is built around a strong run game and short screen passes to talented runners - Harvin and Peterson. Occasionally they can go downfield because the opponents need to gear up to stop Harvin and Peterson - but not because Favre has any game. If Favre is asked to make any number of big plays, his odds are as low as any NFL quarterback.

If there was a question of who is a better quarterback Warner or Favre, tonight's game pretty much settles the dispute. This almost makes up for the 49er meltdown today.

*side note - earlier this year Rush Limbaugh got grief for saying Donovan McNabb was overrated because everyone wanted to see a black quarterback succeed. If this is true, it is equally true that Brett Favre is overrated because he fits a different stereotype - the gun-slinging Southern QB, a hero for the Nascar-dad.
