It’s exactly what the Vikings bought. When you take Favre, you take all that goes with him. Now, the coin toss may be everything. Saints win the ball. Worst part is, it looked like he could have run for about 5 yards, putting it back where it was before the penalty. ---

Game may come down to that 12 men in the huddle penalty. Oops. ---

> [@mnemosyne](#): > > [admits to being confused about this penalty and why it’s Brett’s fault…laughs as the end-or-game “too many men” monster comes back to bite another team] The penalty isn’t Brett’s fault. The interception was. ---

That spot may have been a bit generous. I’m thinking that it might be over-ruled. Might still be a 1st down anyway. ---

Obviously the refs want the Saints to win this game. Not really. ---

Apparently, all receivers in the NFL are 9 feet high, with Michael Jordan’s athletic prowress, Usain Bolt’s speed, and Jerry Rice’s hands. Because nothing is uncatchable. ---
