Could you imagine a linebacker corps of Chuck Bednarik, Jack Ham, Jack Lambert and Ray Nitschke??

Hahaha, that would be awesome. :D

LOL. Some folks probably think badminton is too rough. Heaven forbid they should ever watch rugby. Now that's freakin' nuts.

Y. A. Tittle was a pretty tough guy for a QB!

IMHO, having played both, rugby hurts less. Yes, you don't have any pads on, but neither does the other guy.

Getting back to Brett. The Vikings would not have gotten as far as they did without him. Say what you will, he led the team.

I, for one, hope he's back next year.

He didn't need to do anything more then run the ball 10 yards, slide and set up a field goal. This whole season the talking head kept commenting on how this isn't the old Favre who's interception/td ratio was usually equal. Well, I guess we saw the real Favre at the end of the game. I was actually rooting for Minn to win the game at the end, NO had it handed to them.

The Vikings loss looked to me to be pretty much a self inflicted team loss. Farve is 40 so one more year more or less probably sees a drop off in performance. I am not a fan but the dude is good and he is tough. Todays game is so pro-pass it sometimes loses some of its appeal to me (yea I am beginning to be an old timer).

As far as tough guys ever to play --Richard Marvin Butkus and then everybody else.

I wonder how much of that last pass was panic on Favre's part. There have been times when he's looked frenetic on the field; not composed like Brady or even Brees.

Tough? Jack Youngblood, 1979 Superbowl, Rams vs. Steelers. JY played with a broken leg.

Lawrence Taylor and Ray Lewis have to be in there among the best and toughest ever to lace 'em up!

Farve is at 309 consecutive games and counting! I think that's even more impressive than the 2,632 played by one Cal Ripken. While Cal is a warrior and durable as they come, he wasn't getting bounced of the turf over and over again every game.

It doesn't take much of a hit to drop them, most of the time they go down on their own. They don't protect themselves while trying to throw, or getting blind sided after the ball is released, like the one play. The announcers even said at the beginning of the game that the Saints coach learned this from a former coach he worked under. Anyway. I just thought it was a cruel game plan.

On another note, I think all the punching at the ball to cause a fumble is cheapening the game.

I could not disagree more. In football, every hit must be made with 100% intensity. As long as it is legal, don't hold back ever.

I watched our son play this year and yes there were a few times he took some hard hits - one time a kid speared him and another he meet helmet to helmet. Seeing you son in pain is about as awful as it gets but talking to him after he said this "Dad, thats the game. If I didn't think I could take it I would play Flag Football."

These guys are getting paid millions. They better hit. Thats the game.

I don't know that he would've gotten as much as 10 yards, but he certainly could've gotten back the 5 yds the Vikes had just been penalized.

The parents I know out here frown on football. "Too violent," they say, or even "too macho." They're big on soccer, though I believe that arrives from the social-bonding-climbing aspect, but football here is almost a dirty word. :rolleyes:

I am going to assume he is having an off-day, or the 'can't we just all get along and not rough-house too much' comment made him soft.

Anyone that is blaming yesterdays game on Favre obvisouly didn't see Adrian Peterson playing.

In the end its a team sport, the MN defense played pretty well in the second half, NO's touchdowns came from turnovers in the red zone, take those turn overs a away, and other than the game winning drive in OT, Brees and company couldn't do much.

I think Indy is going to methodically pick apart NO.
