Around the NFL week 4

Jon Gruden has totally hijacked this broadcast with his love essays to Brett Favre. My goodness. This broadcast is a Favre lovefest of epic proportions, dominated by Gruden's undying mancrush.

I've heard Gruden praising Rodgers a lot tonight for hanging in there with such little protection

He did. I just thought the man-love was really evident. I've been a huge Favre fan his whole career until the past two years. The guy is awesome. It was just funny to me how much Gruden was gushing.

Really though, at 40yrs old to be playing at that level, it certainly is understandable why the media talks about Favre so much.

Man, last night's game and tonight's game have been very exciting.

And allow me to drink the Favre kool-aid for a second...Favre has beaten every single team in the NFL? Wow!

I wish my t.v. had winshield wipers, that way I could've seen the game through the Favregasm the broadcasting crew was having.

They did give credit to Rodgers though. I think if Rodgers had any sort of an offensive line in front of me that game would've been much closer. On a diff. note the Vikings look for real. Pains me to say it with Brittfar at the helm but they are rolling, even if A.D. gets shut down now they've got a legit quarterback to win the game for them. And that defense is crazy even though Rodgers lit 'em up despite getting sacked 8 times.

The old man still has it. Gotta admit I was rooting for Favre last night. The guy is just fun to watch on the field.

MTK · 10-06-2009, 08:25 AM

Gruden came close to having Favre as his QB last year, he's said if Favre came to Tampa maybe he would still have a job right now. Chucky loves QBs.

He's such a whore for quarterbacks that it has become hard for me to take his praises seriously. If we hired him we would have 10 qb's on the roster and he would talk about how awesome they all are.

I admit I was wrong about Farve. I didn't think he was going to be able to come in and play at a high level w/out any training camp and offseason work. It's still early but for a guy that's almost 40, and to play like that it's just amazing. Dude is a true freak. But Minn. is really really good.

MTK · 10-06-2009, 10:23 AM

Allen also benefits from those two tanks that Minny lines up at DT. Allen rarely sees a double.

I've gotten sick of all the Favre talk the last few years. I'm all for letting anyone play if they want to play. Who cares about ruining legacies? Play if you want to play but just make a decision.

Last night was a great game though. It's hard not to like the guy. An amazing qb especially at his age. Great QB's use their eyes and pump fakes to throw off DB's. And Rodgers...the guy put up 340 and got sacked 8 times. Kudos to him too, he's got the "it" factor for a QB. GB's oline sucked but the QB still made plays. The oline sucked but their coaches called some very good blitz calls and quick throws to negate some of their pass rush. Good game to watch.

BTW...I kind of like Jon Gruden. He's a football guy w/ tons of experience. If given the tools would he be a good fit in DC? I wouldn't be disappointed as long as VC is gone.

I think what's interesting with Gruden is if he were to interview for the HC job here, I think he would push hard to bring Bruce Allen along with him as GM. I think that's the only way Gruden would come here, if he had it 100% his way.

That would be the best thing for the Skins ,all the way around!
