LETTER TO JOURNAL TIMES:

“What a perfect marriage it is between the Minnesota Vikings, a team with a history of choking in the playoffs, and The Purple Dinosaur, Brett Favre, who in his last 10 years with the Packers had a history of breaking the hearts of Packer Nation with stupid interceptions in playoff games against the Rams (a total of six), Eagles and Giants.

I heard on the radio on Oct. 21 that Favre said the 6-0 Vikings were the best team he’s played on. I hope some Wisconsin sports reporter asks him before the next Packers-Vikings game whether he enjoys playing more at the empty Dome than on the frozen tundra at historic Lambeau Field and whether he plans to enter the NFL Hall of Fame as a Packer or a Viking.

No starting quarterback 40 years or older has ever won a Super Bowl and no NFL team whose logo wears pigtails, like the Viking warrior, has ever won the title.

Favre won one NFL championship in 16 years with the Packers; even then Packers General Manager Ron Wolf admitted that was a “fluke.”

If Favre keeps mouthing off on how great it is to be a Viking, maybe Packer fans will remember who is the real best Packer quarterback of all time: Bart Starr, because he won five NFL championships, including three in a row. Maybe the Vikings can bring Starr back after Favre retires for the third and fourth times.

So Viking fans, don’t count your Super Bowl trophies until after Favre throws his last interception.”
