A 1200 score is meant to be average team. The average calculated score is 1200 for week 3. I have updated this with corrections due to an error in my spreadsheet, that error only affected losses, making them inversely impact-full. So when a team lost a close game it counted against them more th...

While watching the game with many family members, I continued to reasure them that all Favre needs is four seconds to win just about any game. Relax, Relax. Settle down, relax and watch, this is why we are paying this guy so much. One by one some of them left, seating was limited. By the end of the game, there was just about five of us. And unbelievable, I know I had said it and predicted it, but I still did not believe that it could actually happen. Favre drops back, gets flushed out of the pocket, looks like he is just throwing it away but deep through the endzone?... No Wait, number 17 grabs the ball and the ref puts both hands up!! Is is possible? did he really get both feet in bounds!!! They got to review it, look close, did his foot stay in? looks in, he looks in... I think he just did it, wow...wow.. we are winning, we are winning.. Time how much time... what two seconds, two seconds!! 2 seconds!!! 0:02 just one tackle, just one more tackle... Squib kick it, if ever a time cal...

Brett Favre is now the NFL's Iron Man. Today Brett Favre started Game number 271 to pass Jim Marshall for tops on the list, unless you count kickers (I don't). Favre took a big hit that clearly affected him. He did complete a pass to Harvin for a touch-down and put the Vikings up by enough that Brett was able to take off the rest of the game. Congrats Brett.

Brett Favre made more history yesterday as the newest Minnesota Viking. Brett has moved past Randy Moss in yards passing on the all-time passing leaders on the Vikings. Rank Name Comp ATT. PCT. Yds TD 28 Alfred Anderson 4 9 44.4 112 2 29 Randy Moss 4 8 50.0 106 2 And in Yesterdays Games Name Comp/ATT Yds TD INT B. Favre 14/21 110 1 0 T. Jackson 0/1 0 0 0 So Alfred Anderson should go down next on Brett Hit list! At this pace Brett Favre is on pace for 1760 yds and that would be good enough for about 18th place on the list just behind Jim McMahon another inter division Superbowl winning quarterback that jump to the Vikings late in his career. For some reason there was not near as much hoopla about that guy as there was about Brett Favre!!!

Football officiating seems to get worse and worse each year. I think that they should do away with the instant replay altogether. In the last several games I have watched I have seen some bizarre stuff. I see a running back run hard and push the defender back trying to reach out for the first down, the whistle blows and the office comes running from five yards back (behind the play) and turns a 90 degree turn to mark the ball. Official marks it short. (like he could precisely see where the ball was when the run was stopped or forward progress). Then the part that really gets me. The go to the far side line (it is always the far sideline isn't it?) Where they carefully mark the spot on the chain that matches to the blade of grass that is closest to the nearest line marker. Three big zebras run the chain set over to the ball, where they now line that marked chain back up to the line marker (lets hope that it is perfectly straight). I have yet to see a protractor to be out there to ma...

The Vikings released veteran wide out Bobby Wade and signing Greg Lewis. Bobby Wade was a good guy, liked in the locker room. I do now understand what Brad Childress is thinking. These players are pretty much interchangeable statistically speaking, Lewis probably has a bit more speed. But do the Vikings need more speed? at WR we have Harvin, Berrian, Raynaud, and Jaymar Johnson. whhooooosshh! A good possession receiver is what they need, is that was Lewis brings to this team? Bobby Wade has seven years in NFL, and has led the Vikings in catches the past two seasons, 107 catches for 1,292 yards and five touchdowns in 26 starts. Lewis in six seasons with Philadelphia made 23 starts. He had 127 catches for 1,699 yards and seven touchdowns. His best performance was in 2005, when he caught 48 passes for 561 yards and a touchdown while starting all 16 games. The only thing I think is that Brad thinks this guy can do something on Punt coverage, that is still a weakness on this team and Lewis ...
