Great point.
I was rooting for the Saints to beat the Vikes almost as much as I was rooting for the Vikes to beat Dall-ass. I've had enough Favre. Had the Vikes won, it would've been two weeks of "All-Favre, All-the-time". At this point the guy is a self-serving egomanic. The game isn't all about him, there are 45+ other guys on the roster who are doing everything they can to win as well. He did a number on GB, did a number on the Jets, and who knows how he'll leave the Vikes this off-season....will he return, won't he, will we know before training camp? The guy was fun to watch.....up until about 4 years ago. The act is old, end the damn show.

I also hope at the owners meetings they take out some of the numby-pamby rules to protect the QBs. This whole "driving into the ground" thing is completely subjective except in the most severe cases (the OL shouldn't be letting the DL get clean shots on the QB anyway). The hand to the head thing is another sissy rule that is only an issue in the most severe cases. If a player is taking a blatant cheap shot, hit him with an unsportsmanlike and throw him out. If a DL is working his hind-quarters off to get to the QB and his hand grazes the QB's helmet or he makes a solid tackle on the QB and drives him to the ground (it's proper technique anyway), let it go. Don't turn the NFL into the NBA.
