I always felt bad for Rosenfels and thought he got screwed over by the Vikes, he was the starter in pre season that year and was looking great until the team and Chilly went into Favregate mode and let him hold team hostage until the pre season was over and then decided to sign.  I really think the team and Rosenfels were good enough to go to the Super Bowl that year and I am sure Rosenfels would have taken the sure 10 yards in front of him to secure the winning FG instead of throwing across his body 30 yards down field. 

Thinking back about how bummed I was after the Favre pick to lose that game, I am actually kind of relieved now as I wouldn't want our only Super Bowl win to be coated with memories of Favre.

I’ve read some outlandish takes over the years on this board but this may very well take the cake. I salute you.

Sage looked good in 2010 preseason.  He should have been given a good shot vs sending the plane back down for Brett

In what delusional world would you ever pick Sage Rosenfels over a HOF QB?  I feel like that's some serious revisionist history.

Hell, I’d take Favre at the age he is now and not having played football for 10 years over that Sage Rosefels. (Minus the stealing from women and children thing)

I mean in one post you said you’d take Sage Rosenfels over Favre for that year, you think Sage could’ve lead us to the Super Bowl based on a couple of nice preseason performances, and that you’re kind of glad the Vikings didn’t win a Super Bowl in 2009. 

I apologize for the condescension, didn’t mean it. It’s just that all 3 of these takes are pretty spicy and I’m not sure I’ve ever heard any of them from Vikes fans before. Caught me off guard.

Favre's only comments so far are to blame the media for making more out of this and he did nothing wrong.  What a cop-out, blaming the media is the new technique of escaping accountibility and responsibility.  He is quoted on a text asking if the "media" can ever find out about his grift and now blames them for reporting it.  The problem is many arse-lickers will still take his side.  Poor Brett is being persecuted for something he never knew a thing about despite facts showing otherwise - sad world we live in.  Brett you have an open forum to come clean or give your side of the story but instead you blame the media.
