Fran Tarkenton has a few things to get off his chest. The Vikings legendary quarterback must have had some pepper in his eyes during this interview with Atlanta radio station 790 The Zone or he was just feeling particularly ornery. Especially when it comes to the possibility of the Ol' Gunslinger donning the purple this year. "I think it's despicable. What he put the Packers through last year was not good. Here's an organization that was loyal to him for 17, 18 years, provided stability of organization, provided players. It just wasn't about Brett Favre. In this day and time, we have glorified the Brett Favre's of the world so much, they think it's about them. He goes to New York and bombs. He's 39 years old. How would you like Ray Nitschke in his last year (playing for) the Vikings, or I retire, and go play for the Packers. I kind of hope it happens, so he can fail." Source: Deadspin
Haha, Fran Tarkenton's amazing. Still, I can't wait to see some flustered Packer fan say something about the fact he has no Super Bowl rings and Favre does.
What's the difference between Favre playing in New York and Tarkenton playing in New York? lol... Favre left for NY and wants to return to Minnesota...Tarkenton left for NY and returned to Minnesota.
And please correct me if I am wrong but didnt Tarkenton leave for New York because he wanted to play there, while Favre went to New York cause thats only place the Packers would trade him to and he wanted to play football.
I understand what Tarkenton is saying...Favre is potentially going to one of the Packers big rivals...but come on Fran...you have nothing better to do?
Last year I dont think it wasabout going to a rival but going somewhere up North and playing in a division he knows with stadiums he knows against defenses he knows. Now I dont think this holds true anymore, but I really dont think he wanted to stick it to the Packers last year
Daaaaammmmnnnnn.........you got knocked the heck out. rofl Fran vs Favre celeberty cage fight......I will buy it!
Why? :dontknow: Have any of the things you heard come out of Favre's mouth? ... NO It's the media saying he's going to the Dr., the media is saying x-ray's of Favre are being sent to Minnesota, the media that's saying he's going to meet with Childress in Minnesota, oh wait no, then the media said Childress was going to see Favre. It's the idiots in the media that are keeping this Favre un-retiring story going.
Why doesn't Favre just call a meeting, and yell it from the rooftops.."I AM RETIRED AND NEVER COMING BACK TO PLAY IN THE NFL...EVER"!!! Or is he waiting for his wife to blog it?
You may have something there Sweets. Favre and Warner have something in common, they let the wive's make the decisions.....and at times speak for them.
