You didn’t finish that last sentence. That’s “…team killing choke artist, with a Super Bowl ring”. How many Lombardi Trophies do the Vikings have, again? And you have the stones to call Favre and the Packers choke artists?

Yes. Favre is a choke artist. He had a history of throwing game killing picks in big games. The fact that my team sucks does not mean that Favre was not a choke artist, nor does it mean that I have no right to call him on it.

Why do you think it’s ridiculous that a team with the best RB in the league and a very good defense might be able win a lousy division? Is it really that much of a stretch? Who the hell else is going to win that miserable division? The Bears? The Lions? The Packers? At least the Vikings have SOME life. Maybe as a Steelers fan, you don’t follow the NFC that closely but the NFC North is _terrible_. With Favre gone, the Vikings are going to be the favorite to win the division. Tell me why that’s delusional.
