Vikings Zygi Wilf – Whatever It Takes
Posted by LOTGK on August 20, 2010
Zygi Wilf - Stayin Alive
All day long, wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up the smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down,
I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here
Brett come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Brett come back, you can blame it all on me
I was wrong, and I just can’t live without you
Guess who’s Back In Town?
Yes Viking fans, just as Viking Thunder predicted back on January 2nd, 2010, Brett Favre is back in purple ready to lead the team to the promised land. What, you don’t believe me? Then check this link, (Grassy Knoll Institute 50 Bold predictions For 2010) read prediction number 13, and then return back. Go ahead, I’ll wait. See, I told you so.
So Brett is back in town after snagging a ride on the Viking company jet with the help of three Viking players that traveled to Mississippi to bring Brett home to the Dome. Favre announced that he owed the Viking organization one more season and that he would suit up and play. He stated he hoped his ankle was healed enough to take the beating of an entire season. But hey, Brett never missed a game in his career. And this is his 20th season so no worries right?
What, Me Retire?
Alas, there is trouble in Purple Town. The same day Favre returned, a report leaked out that Favre and several of the offensive players did not respect coach Brad Childress. (Perhaps it’s from the same unknown source that had Favre texting that he was retiring) The chum is in the water and the sharks smell blood.
As Chief Brody lamented in the movie Jaws, “We need a bigger boat,” the Vikings have bigger fish to fry. Sidney Rice is still hobbled nursing a hip injury. Adrian Peterson hasn’t put in a strong training camp nursing an injury as well. (Hey Adrian, a bruised ego doesn’t cut it as a legitimate injury) V. Shaincoe is also out. And Percy Harvin has been absent almost the entire training camp due to a death in the family and recurring migraine headache attacks. Just yesterday, Harvin had to be taken off the field by ambulance as he collapsed on the field.
What the Hell is happening in Purple Town?
September 9th is right around the corner and the Vikings travel back to the place they lost the championship game. Back to the place where several players, (Sharper) predicted more pain and late hits on Favre. Back to the place where Favre threw his last pass in his illustrious career. There will be blood! Bad blood. On both sides. The referee’s will be tossing hankies all evening. Are the Vikings prepared for this onslaught against the Super Bowl champions? Let’s have a look-see.
Last week, the Vikings traveled to St. Louis for their first pre-season contest. The Rams looked exactly like they did last year. A 1-15 team with a lot of expensive high draft picks. Tavaris Jackson played sparingly but Sage Rosenfels had significant play time. He passed for over 300 yards, 3 touchdowns, zero interceptions, and over 70 percent completion percentage. However, it was against the Rams.
The defense stymied Sam Bradford, the #1 over all pick in the draft as well as the rest of the offense. If not for the 93 yard punt return, the Rams would have been shut out.
Speaking of the 93 yard punt return! WTF Childress! The Vikings year in and year out have the worst special teams in the NFL. Period! Keep this in mind when you take the field in-game one and kick or punt to Reggie (Kim Kardashian’s ass wasn’t good enough for me) Bush.
Toby Gerheart, All State insurance should be contacting you for commercial spots. You got good hands dude.
The defensive line is the best in the league. I said it and I meant it. From the starting four to the depth, the D-Line is the best you can get.
Brett Favre is back in town, and the circus media have erected their big top tents have more than a one trick pony to report on these days. Not just Brett Favre returning, but the news leak of players not respecting Childress, Peterson feeling slighted, Harvin and his migraines, Twitter wars between the Saints and Vikings players each predicting pain for their opponents, and of course the stadium issue.
God Damn It! We need a bigger boat!
SKOL VIKINGS!

LURKING ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

I don’t know if Favre can have the same success he had last year with the Vikings. He has to want to play, not just because he thinks he owes it the team to play one more year. Usually a prize fighter gets knocked out in the first round when they have that mentality.
LOTGK said
I didn’t like that answer either. Percy, Peterson, Shaincoe, and Rice need to be 100% for Favre to repeat the magical year he had last year.
Gumby said
You know Rice had surgery, he is out at least 8 games and maybe more, so leaves Favre’s best weapon out. Walker, what a joke, he couldn’t even keep a job with the Raiders. The Vikings are in hurt mode my friend. 10 wins at best.
LOTGK said
Yes, thank you for pointing that out. Rice is out for half the season. Harvin still battling headaches, and we sign a 32 year old receiver with blown out knees.
Anti-christ said
Favre has renegotiated his contract with me. I give him only one more year because I hate the Saints so.
LOTGK said
if you hate teh Saints so, why are them wearing Super Bowl rings?
now see here said
fare is a washed up prima gonna who will get hurt in game one and cost the team 13 million dollars
LOTGK said
Or the Vikings ride him all the way to the Super Bowl. That’s why they play the games.
