We are all entitled to dream. I’m dreamed last night about Favre’s arm falling off.

the less likely you’ll get any meaningful drift from the script, and the script was a celebration of him. You could see clips of the stuff prescripted to insert during the game (like the fans smashing a car with #4 on it). Then there were the constant camera shots of Favre on the sideline when the play had nothing to do with him.

Granted, with Peterson pretty much neutralized that gave the announcers more reason to go to the Favre bag.

Now, if the Niners had held on to win then the postgame celebration of Brett would have been a little more muted. But I felt Sam Rosen was embarrassing.

There is no question that the announcers were all over Favre like a remora on a shark, except that instead of a shark, it was Favre. In case that’s not clear, a remora is a suckerfish.

And it’s not just the announcers. The producers were going to Favre and Favre-jersied fans all game. It gets reaaally tiring to listen to if you’re not a Vikings fan.

However, the thing that I hate more also happened quite a bit! The announcers putting words in players’/coaches’ mouths. There’s nothing I hate more than hearing about how “[player coach] said to us the other day that what this team really needs to do is [generic] and that he’s really proud of the way they’ve [genericed].”

Okay… I can buy that maybe you talked to a certain player before the game, but you haven’t interviewed every player and coach on the team. Announcers seriously say this exact thing about 15 times a game. It’s the absolute WORST announcing tendency I’ve come across in any sport, and it is fairly football-specific. Please stop lying and saying that they talked to you. Just present the information in a professional, honest way.

When I think about that game it makes me smile. Favre was all ready to lead GB back to the SB in what was supposed to be his last season. If he then lead GB to a victory over the Pats the heavens would have opened up and he would have been taken away like Jesus on Pentacost. But he lost, and while everyone else was crying what a pitty it was, I was laughing.

That while the Favre-llatio was pretty excessive, the announcers also gave Singletary and Hill a fair amount of lip-service*.

Note: I do know that this isn’t really the correct use of this term. Sorry.

 You hate the man so much , that you refuse to say his name.
 then you go and write an article about him
 I came to express my admiration for your head coaches passion for the game.
 instead I got more of the same hatred of a man who has managed to stay out of trouble , raise his girls properly, and appears to have a genuine love of the game.
good luck the rest of the season, I think Mr singletary has you on the right track
oh and for the record he played for DA bears……………………………………………………..

but I just can’t get that worked up about it. Of course they are gonna give this guy love – he’s a future hall of fame QB, widely regarded as one of the “good guys” who “plays the game the right way.” And then he makes a miracle TD throw. I mean, the media eats this stuff up.

what about when the announcers stated “Qb f***e ( hate that last name)
has the best hard count in the NFL” WTF???

it’s a carefully crafted argument with as much truth as he doesn’t play well in domes or cold weather. The most recent example was the Seahawks/Packers playoff game in 07.

Green Bay smashes Minnestota and Favre next week in embarrassing fashion. I will be routing for every team that plays against Minnesota for the rest of the year. I hate Favre.

I hope Dre Bly kicked himself in the rear the entire plane flight home because he could have sealed the deal in that game with a pick six. Hopefully as soon as he stepped off the plane though, he left it on the plane. We have another division game this week and Gore is out for roughly 2 weeks according to the media. We need the defense to be really strong the next two Sunday’s. Coffee needs to really step up his game and grow up real fast. I realize he was running against the Williams-Wall but 2.2 a carry won’t really do the trick…especially against Atlanta

That Rosen’s TD call ended with “He did it! Favre did it!” There you go. Not, “they did it.” Or “what a catch by Lewis, how did he ever get his feet in bounds!” Says a great deal.

Secondly, if Favre is the story, why not more on-going praise of the Niners defense for containing him? If your job is to educate the audience and be a salesman for the league, here’s this team that may be in the playoffs this year that many fans don’t yet know much about. They sacked Favre twice, hit him hard a few other times, got one INT while dropping two others, and held AP in check.

Lastly, the problem with over-praising one individual is that you miss the larger game that is taking place right in front of you. How did they miss commenting on the many times a Viking lined up offsides? Why no replay of the two dropped INTs of the great Favre… particularly Bly’s that would’ve been a clincing TD? Or why the Niner pass offense was not working? A simple overhead view of the patterns would help expaling in the WRs were well covered, Hill was missing them or if it just came down to protection.

Don’t watch the game tonight without the mute button on alert. They will spend many moments previewing next Monday’s GB-MIN game with many references to that QB’s throw yesterday. Between that and the JJ and his stadium love, this vomit inducing sports weekend will have an appropriate finale.

He closed his eyes and threw it as hard as he could. It was a fantastic catch! Whatever with the pass. Was I the only who noticed that the F-word looked like he was gna pass out on the last drive? There is no way he makes it through the whole season. Barring Peterson playing stellar all year, I smell another implosion for the F-word coming in the 2nd half of the year.

Can’t wait to see the Vikes against the Pack and Bears. I guarantee both of those teams will watch yesterdays game more than once and take on a whole lot of the images the 9ers showed. The 9ers showed that they are a good team and are for real.

If he’s not throwing 5 yard dunk passes, he’s simply lobbing the ball up there (hence all the interceptions) or firing it at 100 mph off the hands of his receivers. Yeah, he’s had a spectacular career, but he’s lost plenty of games because of his stupid interceptions. I hate that man/child

Brett Farve should have been at home in his wrangler jeans, taking prilosec for his heart burn watching the 49ers beat Tarvaris Jackson and the Vikings on his TV from sears that he spent the whole offseason picking out.

I hate Favre as much as the next Niner fan and and am sure I would have noticed if the announcers were really pumping him. I didn’t.

What burns me is the aftermath reporting. I have only heard one sports media person point out that Favre played like garbage up until that last play. People who didn’t see the game must think Favre was brilliant from the first snap onward based on the biased reporting.

Sick of all these old dudes indulging their man-crush. They just love him because their old too and their like “wow, the old guys still got it, maybe I’ll be able to get it up and bone my wife tonight”.

J.Smiths late hit for 15yrds was bull, he was already falling forward into F#$%* before then ball was thrown. Then you get S.Spencer’s taunting after that for a total of 30yrds and they kick a field goal. Horribly called game that heavily favored the Vikings.

the 5-letter “R” word? Roman! He was the DB covering that area.
