For those of you who were insisting that Favre's arm wasn't injured:

The video is more in depth than the story itself.
I know that it was the "in" thing to go bashing the guy, but he was genuinely hurt. That's too bad, because the Jets with a healthy Favre would have been a better team coming out of the East than the Dolphins. Hopefully this thing will be repaired and he can play for another year if that's what he really wants. I'm quite confident that the Vikings would take him over the Rosencopter.
I personally root against the other 3 AFCE teams in the playoffs, just because I hate them so. And I root against the other AFC teams in the Super Bowl. IDK, it makes me feel better for some reason.
Not saying you're wrong, that's just my feeling.
I tend to root for the team that knocked my team out of the playoffs when I'm looking at professional sports. In this case, had the Jets won the division, it would have been them. I "hate" the AFCE opponents, but only for game purposes. When the teams aren't matched up, I figure there are 31 teams that I want to finish behind the Patriots, and I always felt comforted when my team (or me individually) lost out to the eventual champions as opposed to just losing to some other loser(s).
This year will be different, because if the Patriots get knocked off, I'll be going with the "Yes, the team that beat New England but, first, anyone but Pittsburgh" theory, in order to keep that "Team of the Decade" title in place.
I can respect that. I felt the same in 2005 with the Broncos. And actually I was rooting for Villanova in the NCAAs because they narrowly beat my alma mater in rd. 1. BUT, I can't transfer this to AFCE teams (and the Colts)- the dark side takes over and my hatred determines who I root for. Yes, my hatred runs deep.
Agreed. I'll root for the underdog after we get knocked out, but that will never include afce teams, or the colts, titans, raiders, and chargers.
They're all on my list!

Conditioning? Age? Weather? Whatever the cause, retired quarterback Brett Favre has dropped off considerably over the final five weeks in each of the past four seasons. Let's take a look:
The issue of Favre's stamina - NFC North - ESPN
A Brett Favre signing with the Minnesota Vikings is expected to be announced in time for the start of the team's single-game ticket sales July 20.
The Vikings will play Favre's former team, the Green Bay Packers, Oct. 5 at the Metrodome on Monday night on ESPN. The Vikings are planning to require anyone buying a ticket to that game to also buy a ticket to the Aug. 21 exhibition game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Meanwhile, a little birdie heard that quarterback Brett Favre and wife Deanna last weekend made a $30,000 deposit on a condominium near 50th and France in Edina.
Update: Favre reportedly made a down payment on a Condo in Minnesota:

Childress and Favre...man, you don't even need luck to get your wish.I don't want to see Favre injured—I wouldn't wish that on anyone. OTOH, if he comes back, I do want to see him fail. And I mean EPIC FAIL.
If he indeed is a Viking then the Minnesota at Green Bay game this year could be the highest watched NFL regular season game ever ... and I mean that.
According to NFL.com the two games this year between the Vikes and Packers are:
GB @ Min - Monday October 5th (Week 4) 8:30 PM EST ESPN
Min @ GB - Sunday November 1st (Week 8) 1:00 PM EST Fox
How soon does flex scheduling start to take place again? As of right now there's no NBC game on November 1st so unless if NBC has something already lined up for that night could that game suddenly be bumped to prime time?

Of course, this runs counter to the unverified Yahoo! report claiming Favre told the Vikings he was going to stay retired.....
