^THESE, BIG TIME
This year (and probably only this year) I've made the Vikings my "other" team when/if Dallas loses because:
1. Brett Favre is my favorite player ever.
2. Adrian Peterson is awesome and used to play for OU.
It sucks Dallas and Minnesota have to play each other next week. I'll be cheering for the Boys but won't be too upset to see the Vikes win.
I have a lot of respect for Brett Favre as a fantastic athlete and QB, but I grew to really hate him as he dragged on and on with "the Michael Jordan retirement plan" as I like to call it
maybe I'm wrong, but I don't recall other greats like Johnny U, Montana, Aikman, etc., coming off with such a prima donna attitude
my guess is Mike Holmgren's to blame, his ego may have been infectious to Favre
anyway, regarding AP (Adrian Peterson), when he's great, almost no one can touch him, but his big flaw is he's brittle, he reminds of Billy Sims in this regard, and I am concerned he won't last past the average "shelf life" of a player in the NFL of five years
thank GOD the Cowboys finally won in the postseason after the 14-year drought I hope the Cowboys make it to Miami in February, and again but in the their own stadium in 2011
I also hope the Sooners work out their issues so they can get back to the BCS Championship and win it all next January
so yeah, Boomer Sooner, go Cowboys!!!
P.S. IMO, Archie Manning is without question the most
overrated (American) football player in the history of the game
oh yeah sure, he's got two QB sons who both won Super Bowls, that's obviously nothing to sneeze, but come on, WE DON'T NEED TO SEE HIM OR MENTION HIS NAME EVER OTHER DAMN PLAY DURING GIANTS AND COLTS GAMES AS IF HE'S THE GREATEST QB EVAH, AAH!!
