Whitlock canonizes Favre

I find his columns to be none of that. He's a bomb-throwing hack in the Skip Bayless mode, in my opinion.

 

I'm 22 and nearly a lifetime fan. My first memory of the Vikings is reading about their signing of Warren Moon. I remember vividly the 1998 season and the loss to Atlanta in the NFC Championship game. (Another season where we rode the arm of an aging quarterback.)

I'm not pretending the Vikings are a favorite to win the Super Bowl. But I think we're at least primed for a deep playoff run, and I'll enjoy the ride while it lasts.

 

*sigh*

Ah, the optimism of youth - yet to have been smashed and shattered with the reality that is Vikings fandom.

Kid, enjoy the ride now, because there will be no deep playoff run.

 

Oh for the love of God. A "nearly lifetime" fan of 22. You poor thing. Isn't there a Vikings board for you?

 

Shut up, old man, what the fuck do you know?

 

GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!

 

Sometimes you have to wonder if Whitlock actually watches football.

 

I respectfully disagree, if for no other reason than the NFC is so weak right now. The Giants have been exposed and the Cowboys and Eagles are too inconsistent. The only team in the NFC that's better than the Vikings is the Saints, and I think they can be beaten provided we get CB Antoine Winfield back and healthy.

(Incidentally, Winfield's injury hasn't been mentioned on this thread thus far even though he was a Pro Bowler last season and the team's top defensive back. We almost beat the Steelers and we beat the Packers without him.)

 

The "we" shit is just going to generate more ridicule.

 

Shut up, old man, what the fuck do you know?

 

I use it out of habit. If people want to ridicule me for it, let them.

 

You bring shame to my generation and the Vikings will lose in the second round when Favre throws five picks.

Was the first part too much?
