Like I said

When all this Farve stuff went down a few weeks back some people bought in, thought that this time he was done, he was really going to retire for good. I was not one of those people and I am not surprised at all that he is back. Like I wrote on Aug 5th in this very blog:

"So now Farve steps up and says he didn't say anything about being done and he hopes to play if he can, but right now he is still hurt and can't play. Let me translate that for everyone. I am fine, but I don't want to go to any part of training camp, I will see you a few days before the second preseason game and be ready to go by the real season, thank you and good night."

Here we are right before the second preseason game, and here he is. I can't believe they actually flew guys down there to talk to him. he was going to play the entire time, I really believe that. I think he is a very smart guy, I don't want to go to OTA's, I don't want to go to two-a-days, I just want to play. I will make it look like I am thinking about not coming back, so everyone can talk about me, and people can tell me how much they need me, and then I will come back, just like I was going to anyway.

I don't really watch espn anymore because of him, lebron, a-rod, and the coverage they get. I will of course watch a game on their, but usually on mute, I don't need to listen to talking heads say the same thing over and over again. Sports fans are smart, we know what is going on. Nothing like a sports show asking a question to their audience, do we talk about farve too much, and then they talk about him some more, then they talk about if they talk about him too much, and why is it that they do this. Here is a idea, just stop talking about him. The problem is, they have 24 hours a day to fill. But why not talk about the games, trades, players movements, issues in sports, and not follow one guy to the airport.

I will say as much as I don't want to say this, I think the Viks will be very good this year and I do think he will have ONE more great season, before he is done. He doesn't want to end his career with a pick, and a loss, so he will do what it takes and they just became a much better team, if for no other reason then everyone on that team believes, right or wrong, that farve gives them a chance to win it all. I'm right, you're wrong.
