You’ll still be able to hear the commentators praise Favre the entire time, which is the most important part of the event anyway.
It might be more accurate to say that he looked every bit like a quarterback making his first NFL start at the end.
Favre is starting, and there is no snow on the field or in the air. Sure looks fucking cold, though.
Favre is starting? Are they going to pull him and put in Webb after the first play?
Nope, he made some short throws and they drove down the field for a TD. Poor tackling by the Bears helped.
Please, go ahead and tell us all about Philly demographics. They are the same Vick haters now as then. There are people who have staked there anti-Vick position and won’t budge. It’s just drowned out by fans screaming over good football now.
Here’s a novel idea: Suck up the loss without lobbing insults at Philadelphia fans.
It’s actually not really all that cold - at least not as cold as it was last week. It’s like in the teens. Below freezing, but not bitter, sub-zero cold. Nothing Favre didn’t play in a thousand times on that other team.
They were saying the field’s not frozen either - softer than the turf at the Metrodome, I heard the Vikings radio crew say. After all the noise about the unsafe conditions, they aren’t really turning out to be that terrible after all.
Yeah, so far my “sloppy play” prediction was wrong. Looks like just another game to me.
Looks like Wooten has just ended Favre’s career.
That was a really half-assed effort by Bryant McKinney letting that rookie get around him. No excuse for that.
Awesome. A hail Mary with no receivers in the end zone.
Looks like the field is getting worse as the game goes on. It also looks like there’s some sort of wintry mix / freezing rain / light snow falling now, making for strange frosty footprints on the turf.
Chris Carter; Bud Grant. Are the Vikings celebrating their four Super Bowl failures?
Chris Carter never failed in a Superbowl.
They can call it a “head injury” all their little hearts desire, but when Favre came off the field, his right arm was not moving one inch.
There goes Hester!
It’s almost like the Vikings felt bad for stopping him the last time and just let him go.
Stick a fork in the Vikings, they’re done.
Oh, and commence the whining. I can’t wait for the post-season wrap-up about how the Vikings were cheated in every single game by the zebras. It’s almost as good in review as it is in real time.
Neither have I, but I celebrate the Vikings’ four Super Bowl failures.
Wow, I expected a beatdown, but a fortyburger is above and beyond.
