Team Guy All the Way

When will this continued setup for failure end? Lets' face it, no matter what the national media says, Minnesota winning the Super Bowl will require some good fortune, as it does with many talented and aspiring teams. But the expectations are well-documented. Trouble is, Favre has shown time and again over the course of 16 years that he does not perform well under the pressure of expectations. We've heard a myriad of excuses thus far: not enough practice time, potentially cracked rib, it was basically his daughter that talked him into coming back, he's old, he has a torn rotator cuff. Weary. Favre's act is old, tired, cliched and weary. I especially adore the part where Favre insists that he would have sat out after he injured his arm in the stretch run last year.

Retort: Snowball's chance in hell.

This guy will throw anyone under the bus he can to relieve himself of failure. I'd love to hear Mangini come out and corroborate this nonsense.
