Quick things about the Vikings game:
1) I love Randy Moss, so that touchdown to him was pretty much a thing of beauty to me. In fact, any time they threw it deep to him was just thrilling as hell, even though he had little chance on most of the passes... it's just nice to be reminded of how exciting he was way back in the day.
2) I hope the result of this whole sexting controversy is either the NFL dishes out a 12 game inappropriate conduct suspension, or he retires in order to concentrate on fixing his marriage or something. Cause Favre just pisses the s*** out of me.
I keep wanting to write about Sufjan Stevens' new album, but the problem is that I really can't help but only listen to the title track, which is suitably epic and crazy and exactly what I was hoping for when he released "You Are The Blood" for that charity release way back in the day.
Although Impossible Soul has autotune. That has that going for it.
And I think one song has lyrics about ghost-fingering, which is weird if I'm not mishearing (and of course I'm not.)
Dear Alex,
ReplyDeleteI find myself, as a lapsed Vikings fan, actively hoping for Favre to fail spectacularly. Each week, I glance at the box scores the day after the game, hoping to see a Vikings win despite Favre throwing 3 picks, fumbling twice, and completing 3-8 passes for ~73 yards. In fact, I'd rather see Favre fail and the Vikes lose, over both doing well.
Of course, as a lapsed fan, it's fairly easy for me to cheer for him to fail, as I strongly dislike him and no longer harbor any great hope for the Vikings to do well. My question: Is it possible for non-lapsed Vikings fans (like you) to actually like Favre? Can you actually take pleasure in his on-field successes? If yes, how?
