Favre round two...

All right, it has been a month. I have had plenty of time to digest the loss that was. I really just did not need that. In fact the week after it became a ZERO TOLERANCE week. If anyone brought up the game or the queens to me I just explained that I did not want to discuss it at all and walked away.

This really pisses me off because I have other things to talk about here on TundraTalk and I am getting sidetracked by the Douchebag of the year and the dick who kicked him out of Lambeau. Important things like this texting shit and the language that has sprung up from it. DRIVES ME CRAZY. Oh and I did an psychological experiment on myself. Yup, you read it right, I experimented with my psyche and lived to talk about it. More on that if I can ever get this stupid queens thing out of my foremind. Is that even a word? Screw it. It is now. Of course I have the Entourage to think about also. How dare Brent Favre do this to my big announcements. Dick.

To make matters worse on the Wednesday after the Monday night game, I was not working. So about 2pm in the afternoon, the doorbell rings. I am literally sitting on my throne. That upsets me just to start it off. So I quickly 'finsish what I am doing' and run upstairs. I open the door and it is some religious door to door folks. They explain to me that they had dropped off some stuff a while back and wondered if I had read it. I said no, and the dude said, and I quote, "I see you are a big Packer fan by your truck and flag." I say 'yeah' wondering what is coming next.

This jerk off says to me..again, I quote..."Well, I am a big vikings fan and...." ARE YOU F'N KIDDING ME? At that point I said "And this is where I close the door." And I closed the door. ZERO TOLERANCE.

I just ain't gonna sit and listen to this bozo run his mouth about Brent Favre and the godless queens. I am always very considerate of door to door people. They have a tough job dealing with all that rejection. I will at least listen to their speil and then say no. THIS GUY, has the balls to drop "I am a viking fan." on me and expects me to invite him in? Screw that.

So there was that along with everyone I know wanting to hear my opinion. I am glad that so many people want to hear what I have to say, but I am sooooo tired of talking about this a-hole that it is starting to make me a bit sick.

So here I am again talking about the jerk off. Today, in honor of Brent Favre returning to Lambeau to get his ass handed to him I have the top 4 ways to welcome him back to Green Bay Wisconsin. Keith Murphy, of the Dead Moines Murphy's, called me and wanted me to be on his radio show to talk about this topic. So I came up with this list, along with some visual aids.

#1. First thing we need to do is let him know that we have decided that his number will be retired when HE retires, not anytime sooner. So we give the number to the punter to let him know that we are serious about it. No more ignoring the number when it comes time to hand out numbers to rookies and such. Hell we could even give it to the water boy.




#2. On every wash room in Lambeau field put a picture of Aaron Rodgers on the Mens room door and on the Womens room door put a picture of Brent in the ugly purple dress. This would also send a message to the man. Plus it just makes me laugh thinking about it. Really that shit is funny. Just look at it. I think I will send this off to Lambeau and see if they get it done.

#3. Just to take the last one a few steps forward, lets put Brent's picture crying at his presser when he retired the first time on all the toilet paper in the joint. Sell it at the Pro Shop. Since 90 percent of all the toilet paper in America is made in the Green Bay area this one should not be that hard. We could also put the number 4 on all the toilet seats so when you sit you are sitting on his number. Good idea Chris.

#4. Okay this one is the best one I had. FIRE TED THOMPSON. Fire him today, tomorrow, or hell fire him yesterday. He has got to go. I am so sick and tired of his management. We have no o line to protect A Rod. He spends most of the game on his ass. He will not sign free agents, wait, I take that one back. He signed Ahman Green. AHMAN GREEN? Wasn't he the one that sent him packing saying he could not play anymore? I love Green. I am forever grateful for his years with the Pack but man, shake your head Ted. YOU SUCK. The minute you are gone is the minute this glorious franchise gets back on the right track. I hate Ted Thompson. I do.

I have a few bets on this game, as I always do. I am down one game to all these queen fan losers, but I will get back even on this game. As of right now I owe Dahler, of the minneapple Dalher's, a 12'r of Leinies Amber. I was up one dinner with Gene Principe, of the Sportsnet Principe's, so now we are even, but I will get that dinner back. Oh, and this kid Jodie M, of the who knows where he lives now, I owe a toonie.

James Grandy, of the Minot Grandy's, thinks he is being smart by betting that if the Pack looses I need to put a queen logo on my FB profile for the rest of the season. I cannot take that bet because that would be treason. Treason. I shall not associate myself with the color purple EVER. I know the Pack will win, I just ain't gonna risk that kind of girlish behavior. I would not ask him to do that if the Pack win. Too much humiliation, for him of course. Oh and isn't it funny how these people who never wanted to bet in the past all of a sudden are all over me? Yup, bandwagon must be getting full. Don't worry, it will empty off here in a few more games.

So here is my prediction. Now that the queens have lost a game...oh by the way. They finally play a team that had a winning record last year and the LOSE. The queens are not a great team, they have been playing crappy teams padding their record. So, the Pack will win at Lambeau 31 to 21. Brent will be sacked 3 times and will throw one pick. Read it and week queen fan. queen fan!!! Start your excuses!!!!

Favre and the queens suck...

The big match up on Monday against the queens has elicited some good comments. I want you first to read this article in the Milwaukee JS. Kinda sums it up, Packers want to kick Favre's ass, and Favre is a big fat liar.

Marty Frey pipes in on the whole mess that this game has become...

So many emotions... I said the first day that Ted Thompson took over that there was something wrong with him.. Plain old just didn't like him and what he stood for. And time has bore that out. But Brett should never have gone to play for the viqueens - that is unforgiveable.

The Pack isn't ready for this game - The viqueens only have to hand it off to Peterson enough times and then throw a couple passes and game over. I'm just sick about this and how those godless queen fans will claim that they are unstoppable. The only good that can come of this is for Ted Thompson to be fired as GM.

Marty

Marty, my man, I know this is a tough time. I am right there with you. It seems that everyone I know wants to talk to me about the whole Favre thing. Even the freaking Premier of this province wants to rub it in a bit. Yeah, how do you tell the Premier to "F-off. I don't want to talk about it."? You don't you just smile and say that the queens are still the same queens and will NEVER win the super bowl. NEVER. By the way, that is usually what I say when I see the evil grin in someone's eye in the news room. I don't want to talk about it. I will get over it on MUST WIN MONDAY NIGHT. That is what it is called now. MUST WIN.

Jay Carton, of the Billsfan Edmonton Carton's, drops me a line and calls me out a bit. Read it first then I will explain...

Hey Chris,

As always, TT is just plain good reading. I've been waiting all week for a Pack/Vikings rant. Got to say, I was a bit perplexed. The letter to Ted Thompson (wouldn't it be awesome if his middle name was Ian? He seems like a giant mammary) seemed like you were hedging your bets.

You make a decisive prediction, complete with an injury with massive consequences, yet you wrote the letter just in case. Huh?

On a separate note, we're going to be in the big R this weekend, but I'm not sure how much free time we'll have. Be great if we could meet up for a bit (and beer).

Jay

You know what Jay, I am big enough to admit it. I was wrong in my intent of that letter. You were right. Ted, that letter was for you no matter what happens this weekend. You are a jackass wether the Pack win or lose. You suck. I have an idea for you though Ted. Maybe you could put Harrell in as an offensive lineman, he sure as hell can't play defense. Give it a go, it can't any stupider of a move than picking him in the first round. Oh, and Jay, you are always welcome in my house and are welcome to drink my beer.

Next, Gene Principe, of the Sportsnet pain in Cory Blashill's ass, Principe's, accepts the bet on the game for monday. On a related note, the bet on the game with Scott Dahl, of the Minneapple Dahl's, is for a 12'r of beer AND he will stop deleting my comments on FaceBook about the queens. I will not lose, but, if they do, but they won't, I will owe him a 12' of beer and I will not post any more smart ass remarks on his comments about the queens. Gene, what dumb ass thing do you have to say?

I actually like Favre now..after his last second TD toss....you're on big boy

Gene

Yup, dumb ass.

The Nordic Man makes the cut and shows up big...

I got to get better at doing the TundraTalk a bit more often. A lot has happened since we last spoke. The Packers are 1-1 by beating the snot out of the BearsStillSuck and losing to the BengalsAlwaysSuck. I have a lot to say about this but I have a more important announcement to get to. TundraTalk has spoken. The Nordic Man is in. Most would say that the Nordic One was a lock for this group and I would agree. He would have had to really screw up on his interview to mess this one up. Like tell us he has switched allegiancies to the queens or something drastic like that. He did not, and he got in.

I first met the Nordic one back in 1996 in the Brown County Arena at a Green Bay Gamblers game. I was making a lot of noise telling the other team that they sucked and so was he. I believe that we considered each other bookends in Section A and B. He was B. For the next 3 or 4 seasons we terrorized the USHL with our signature heckling and killer fashion sense. I consider him a brother from another mother and a guy who I would go into battle with any day of the week.

We may not agree on everything, but we do agree on the important things like a good bratwurst, beer, and the Green Bay Packers.

Nordic Man has something he would like to say...


Dear TundraTalk,

I would like to start by saying what an honor it is to be part of your entourage. I can't wait to see who else will make the cut. As being one that was there for the infamous "Dee Snider" comment, it makes me long for the nights of playing poker and listening to Denis on the box. I need not mention the late night runs across the street for pretzels and other munchies. Oops, I just did. I think that is how we stayed so slim.

It is always fun to sit around and talk about the old times and tip a few beers, (OK, maybe a lot of beers.) but what is best is being able to look back at the good times and knowing that that is not where it ends. Here is to many more good times to come, all the times I will get to tell you how wrong you are and why, and all the times you get to do the same. (WOW, am I writing for Halmark now?)

The Nordic Man

PS: If the Posse needs any tickets for the Pack or a hook up to go to any clothing optional resorts, I know just the person. He he Scratch that. I meant really cool, relaxing resort locations in Florida.

Remember, acquaintances will bail you out of jail, but friends can't. (Because they are already there with you!)

PSS: Get back to work you bum!

Nice work Nordic Man. There was a lot in there. There was some great words of wisdom, some great memories, and clothing optional resorts? I do not think that you and I need to be attending any of those any time too soon. I am not sure if I am ready to move to that level in our relationship.

So there you have it, Entourage member number two. The Nordic Man. So we have Shawn Hauser and the Nordic Man in. Both live in the promised land. Will there be more from there? I guess you will have to wait around and find out.

NEXT: Okay, the Packers have beaten the BearsstillSuck, and the Rams. They had a bad week and lost to the Bengals. Oh and check the dude in the pic to the right lobbing the bird when Ocho Dicko jumped into the stands. Packer fan of the year as far as I am concerned.

On the other end of the NFC North, the viqueens have gone 3-0. Yup the moron queen fans are already engraving the trophy. Don't get ahead of yourself, queen fan. You beat the Browns, Lions, and the 49'rs. They had a combined record of 11-37 last year. Big deal. Beat a team that had a winning record then call me.

As for this weekend, you will face your first real test in the Green Bay Packers. Although here is another team that had a losing record last year. 6-10. Nothing to write home about, but most of the prognosticators on week one were picking the Pack to make the Super Bowl. I have placed my bet with vegas with 20-1 odds. I am already spending that money.

Speaking of bets, I will be making my yearly bets with queen nation. Scotty Dahl for Leinies, Gene Principe for dinner, and Shane T Keller for whatever I can get out of him. Losers everyone of them. Screw the queens and Brett Favre.

Packers 24, queens 7. Favre a broken leg.

Oh and if for some god awful reason the queens do prevail I have a message to Ted Thompson...

Dear Ted,

Hey jerk off. Now you have done it. You just had to be a dick and push number four out. You had to do it 'your way' which means drafting losers like Harrell in the first round. By the way, when will he come off the injured list, next year? You suck. How is that offensive line coming? Yes I agree it is OFFENSIVE. Try to protect your quarterback jackass. Don't even get me started on your bonehead move of releasing Jon Ryan, the best punter in the league. We are still paying for that move.

You just had to do it didn't you? Brett asks you to make a play for Moss. You ignore him. Brett says he wants to compete for the job in Green Bay, you say 'We have moved on." He shows up for camp and you bar him from practice. You trade him to the Jets and he makes you look stupid. He has a better record than your team. Just to make sure that you are king dick you put a clause in there that says he cannot be traded to the viqueens. Well I guess that worked didn't it. Dick.

Just to let you know that if your team loses to Brett's team this week and in November your days are numbered. Dick. If I have to I will drive down there myself and demand your resignation. You are an embarrassment to the Packer Organization. Ron Wolf would have NEVER let this happen on his watch. NEVER.

Ted, you dick, make it right. Make us forget about Number 4. Win these two games against the queens and you may get another year to screw with MY team. Lose these two games and I will be down there to collect on the bets I lost. You will pay, TED, you dick, you will pay.

Chris

We did have a TT nation member at his first preseason game. Shannon Just went and filed this report...


Here Favre is trying to decide if he will join in on a Viking pre-game huddle. I think he thought about going over to the Chiefs huddle for a moment then changed his mind. He's blurry and confused in this photo.





So my brother and I get to the game and these girls ask us to take a photo with them in a dark corridor.?





Thank you Shannon for that report. Hope you did not have fun. Well I hope it does not take me another month and a half to make the next announcement. So there you have it..now
GET BACK TO WORK!!!

The Response to the Favre post is as expected...

The reaction to Favre's act of high treason has been swift. Which is expected. I also suspect that Brent has read my letter and spent a couple of hours crying on the floor of his bathroom. Check this LINK. Fricking funny. Dickipedia entry for Brent. Very, very funny. Once again, the funny queen pics on this site are from Packers Palace dot com. Best site, besides this one, for your Packers stuff. I got a link to this song also. Funny.

Since TundraTalk is the multi dollar news organization and website, we of course will be covering this event with all it's resources. Shannon Just, of the Fargo Just's, will be attending the game tomorrow night and will file a report shortly after. Shannon, take it away.

Ringleader,

Strange turn of events. My dad, brother, and I are going to the cities this weekend. Originally we were going just to tool around and check out Valley Fair. My dad calls me tonight and says he got tickets to the game tomorrow night. So I guess I will be seeing "Brent" in the purple 4 jersey. Thought you should know.

The drama around all this is so disappointing that I am sure the game will be also. I am going for KC by the way.

So anyway, If I get within ear or finger shot of Brent; I'll call him Brent from you along with a "YOU SUCK!!!" Just cause I know you'd want it that way. The thing I DO appreciate about Favre at this point is his age. I mean imagine trying to do what he is doing with our 40 year old bodies. You gotta give him that much.

I just have a feeling he is going to get hurt bad this season though. But if by some slight chance he is able to pull it off and have a winning season- that would say a lot for human longevity. Anyway that is also going to be the premise of my new blog. Health and Longevity. Should be up and running sometime soon.

Later, Shannon

Thanks Shannon and if you have a chance record your you suck and send that to me with some pictures. I would love that. Brent deserves at least a YOU SUCK.

Next up is James Grandy, of the Minot Grandy's. He likes what he read and has a bit of constructive criticism...

Dear TT, The publisher of this blog has a bad attitude.

that was the best edition of TT to date.

James Grandy

Thank you James, I will take your advice in consideration. Next up is Danny McIntosh, of the Regina McIntosh's. He is a Giants fan and has been very considerate to me since the NFC Championship game that I attended. Danny, the floor is yours...


Don't worry Peterson.

You'll get the last laugh. Be happy Rosenfels isn't leading the Vikings, and I'll tell you why. Rosenfels has a bit of gunslinger in him and he can get it down field. Plus, he's not a big enough name to get the Purples out of Adrian Peterson (no relation.......I don't think) mode.

The legend will walk in there, freelancing like he's 30, stealing touches from the second coming of Eric Dickerson and launching 50 yard bombs 45 yards down field turning into 80 yard pick 6's.

12 million dollars.
40 year old arm.
No training camp.
9-7.
No playoffs.
Priceless.

Wait a minute. Actually it's 12 million dollars.

Danny Mac

Danny Mac is a local news slinger here in Regina. He seems to know what he is talking about and he also seems to know the Mastercard Ad fairly well.

Next up is another Reginaite Kyle Bender, who will be getting his ass kicked by me in my new fantasy football league this year. Go Kyle...

I enjoyed reading your blog on Favre. Personally I think he's lost his damn mind. I know you don't like Thompson but the more Favre acts like a waffling diva, the more I think Teddy was right to cut ties. Regardless the ratings should be through the roof for the Nov 1st game in Lambeau huh?

Later! Kyle Bender

You are correct on one thing and wrong on the other. Ted is a jackass and is the SOLE reason Favre is acting like this, and yes those ratings will be fairly high.

Last but not least Ivy, of the Moorehead Ivy's, sent us a bit more of his opinion. As always Ivy is dead on point. Ivy...

I know you are still one of those true Packer fans Lord Favre spoke of at the press conference when he said “Is it weird? Yes. Will it be different? Yes. You can’t take away 16 years of what happened in GB.”.

I’m just happy Adrian won’t have to fight 8 or 9 guys in the box with #4 in there.

Respectfully Submitted,
Steve Iverson

Steve is always so respectful. Thanks for all the input. TundraTalk would not be what it is without TT nation.

Now GET BACK TO WORK!!!

Shawn Hauser is the first member of the Posse...

FIRST: First things first. I need to give this to you first. CLICK HERE and watch the trailer for the new Trailer Park Boys movie. I cannot wait for this one. Highlight of the trailer - "I'm gonna piss on him Julian. Take the wheel.". Classic. I just about pissed myself laughing at that.

NEXT: Today is the day. Almost like Christmas in a way. Can you feel it? Like the day of Super Bowl XXXI. A day that is filled with excitement and tension. Today is the day I announce the first member of the most ELITE squad of homeboys who will walk the planet as one. A posse to end all posses. An Entourage to end all Entourage's. It is just like Brett Favre to try to upstage us on such a big day. Dick. We will discuss this more later, but first...

As you can see in the photo above that the man who went last, is the man who is picked first. Shawn Hauser, of the Green Bay Hauser's, aka Hauserinskinov, will be the first man to walk side by side with five other guys who all share the same vision. Five guys that will aspire to be THE ultimate. Five guys who every TV show, every awards show, every upscale sports bar, every major sporting event, and every movie premiere will want us to attend.

First and foremost if Hauser was to decide to retire he would not drag it out year after year. He would just shut it down. If you are a member of this elite squad there will be no posturing to leave at the end of the year and join another rival posse.

On that same note, as leader of this posse, there will be no signing of new and up and coming members to sit behind you. I will not be talking about that kid being the 'future' of the posse all the while undermining the current members status in the posse and then eventually pushing him out. If said member wants to come back after a short retirement I will not tell him he can 'compete' for a spot in the posse. That spot is HIS only.

Okay, sorry that I went off on a bit of a rant, but this Favre thing is bugging me. Hauser, as has been discussed at length here in TT, is from Green Bay and is the guy who called that brilliant play two year ago during the Seachicken game at Lambeau where Favre nearly fell to the ground as he passed the ball. Exactly as Hauser drew that up, and called it in to Favre's helmet radio.

What is Hauser's role in this posse? Well let me tell ya. Hauser will be the guy who will drive. Since he has spent most of his life driving self absorbed reporter divas he can handle this position with no problems. He will be the go to guy when the group needs something and needs it now. With his athletic ability and street sense he will have no problems finding us some Funyuns at 2 am in Sheboygan if called upon to do so. Now don't get me wrong, Shawn is not a gopher just to be sent on errands for the rest of us. In this posse it is all for one. We will all gladly jump up to do what the collective wants, we all accept our roles. Hauser is also our hook up for extreme sports if we need a weekend of adrenaline rush.

One plus on Hauser's side is that he is a hockey fan and can discuss it intelligently. For example if some pussy, like say Gary Bettman, decides to say something about how fighting needs to be eliminated from the game he can stand up, be recognized, and tell Bettman he is a tool and he needs to crawl back under his mommy's skirt and shut the hell up.

So, lets see how the man himself feels about this appointment...Hauser, take it away.

Dear TundraTalk,

Well well......What would GW....George Washington (not that other freak that ran the US of A into the ground) have said when his mug was blasted into the side of a chunk of rock? Probably....................ah yah, duh! Bought freakin' time you pushed the plunger and put me up for all to see......and praise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could essentially stop right here, nuff said!

Nahhhhhhhhhhhhh, it is truly an honor to be on the rock (as I will refer to it) with my good man the American-Canadian. A great guy that would have yer back anytime and any place, and I reciprocate that feeling! That my friends is what the rock is all about, having your boys backs.

No sense in running smack on the rest of ya'll's......looking forward to seeing who all will make up the complete rock, who else will get blasted on the granite?!

I'd write more but as I speak OLD number 4 is yet again getting the itch to jump off the tractor and lace 'em up.....let's be honest here, that freakin' itch will still be wreaking havoc with him when they are lowering the wood box 5 feet south.....but what the hell...........he provides job security for us media types here in TITLETOWN!

Cross your fingers and hope like hell....that you too can park your mug on the big ol' rock.......time for an Ice Cold Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Hauserinskinov

Nice job Hauser. You did yourself proud in your interview and you deserve to be in this elite group. I will be publishing the rules and regs of the posse soon so stayed tuned fort that. Now if any of you would like to give your congrats to the man, or tell me I am wrong to add him, send me a note and we will publish your thoughts and or concerns.

NEXT:

So Number 4 decided today to come back out of retirement to play for the worst franchise in NFL history. Oh, and click on that last link and look at what comes up. 'Are you ready 4 some football?' it says. Well, I have not seen any good football out of Minnesota since, well, FOREVER. Now I know you could get confused with that last statement and think it is the Bengals. Nope, at least they had Boomer, the queens had nothing and liked it. I know we have discussed this at length here in TT, but I feel compelled to say it all again. Ted Thompson is the reason this happened. Ted himself, not Favre. Had Ted just let the man play, we would not be talking about this now. Just have another look at the pic of him and Mike McDumbshit as Favre is calling it quits. That does not look like two guys who are grateful for all that Favre gave them, but two guys who are scared shitless as to what Favre is going to say. Oh, and Deanna really looks happy to be sitting next to them doesn't she?

Favre is just so set on sticking it to Ted that he is willing to tarnish his legacy. No I am not talking about playing another year and playing poorly. I am talking about putting on the ugly purple jersey and playing for a lost cause. The queens will never earn that capital letter from me. I vow that I will never have to capitalize their name until they win the Super Bowl. Since they will never do that, with or without Favre, I will never have to capitalize their name. Suck it Minnesota.

I do want you to know that this is an equal opportunity website. I have from time to time let those who wear the purple give their opinion. So therefore I have some statements from a few queen fans who hang out here from time to time...

First up is a west coast queen fan. Shane T Keller, who has been involved with the color purple on many levels. As a queen fan, and as an employee of 'His Purple Highness', Prince. That's right, you may as well color his life purple. Take it away Shane....

Dear TundraTalk,

I could take the course of good sense team building philosophy. How it would be better to invest in a younger quarterback that we could build upon and to worry about possible discord in the team ranks and Farve's hot and cold running attitude etc etc.
But no, I am taking the course of unabashed spite and cynicism! I want to dress up the Golden Cheddar Boy of Greenbay in Purple (the color of royalty you know) parade him through the streets of Greenbay Wisconsin and then park his old tired $10 million dollar ass at the water cooler. I don't care if all he does this season is shoot Gatorade into Adrian Peterson's mouth after every down. This will be the best season ever!!

Put that on your Brat and Eat It!!

Shane

Thank you Shane for your unbiased and calm statements. You are really on the fence on this one aren't you? Purple is the color of royalty, but it is also the color of little girls and princesses. As for that parade you are going to have in Green Bay? We had one of those back in 1996, it was called the SUPER BOWL PARADE. Not sure if you have ever seen one of those in Minnesota. Oh yeah that's right you HAVEN'T. Deal with that.

As for him getting gatorade for Adrian, kinda appropriate that he is wearing purple with a name like that, I am all for it. In fact I will agree with you. I think he should ride the pine.

Although I would love to see Ted Thompson eat a little crow if Favre pulled a victory out of his ass against the Pack. Do not take that as me rooting for the queens, THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. What that is me rooting against Ted Thompson.

Next up is Steve Iverson, of the Morehead Iversons, and his two or three cents...

Chris:

Here’s my random thoughts regarding the alleged signing of Brett Favre to the winningest professional sports franchise in the 1990’s. No rings, but best winning percentage. Check it out if you don’t believe me.

1.)1. I saw Rosenfels in real life at the first live intra-squad scrimmage on 8/7. I said then he should be the starter this season and that was verified at the first pre-season game last Friday in Indy. Why spend 10 million for getting the same end result (early playoff exit if everything goes good)?

2. 2. That same end result means the Brad Childress era will sometime shortly after the new year 2010.

3. 3. Who gets cut to make room? I say T Jack is gone.

4. 4. This is entirely a move to get an extension to the Dome lease and leverage getting a new stadium deal pushed through the State. They’ll be able to say “we’ve sold out the dome for the last 11 years, blah blah blah” and try to get a new one. Zigmunt needs to open his checkbook a bit more, then they might say “here’s a quarter of a billion”.

5. 5. As always, I will still look forward to the big discounts on Viking apparel right around Christmas as they are either already out or soon to be out of the playoffs.

6. 6. Cheech Harvin is going to be a play maker not se-en since 1998 Moss.

That’s all I can come up with under all the pressure you put me under. Later.

Can you get Leinies in Saskatchewan?

Respectively Submitted,

Steve Iverson

Thank you Steve, for those honest and mostly truthful words. If I did not know you I would believe you were a Packer fan. Which would be okay with us if you wanted to switch. The NFL radio said that Sage had looked good (which is always relative when you are speaking about a queen QB) so far in camp so you are spot on on that comment. Childress will be gone next year, they will sell a lot of seats in that stupid dome, you will get cheap purple gear, not sure about Cheech Harvin, but he has to at least drive over a cop and ride a sex boat, and no I cannot get Leinies in Saskatchewan. Sorry about all the pressure, I just wanted you to bring it.

Well, I will leave you with this. Another open letter to Brent Favre. That's right, I know will refer to him as Brent Favre.

Dear Brent,

Well I guess you have gone and done it. You decided to let that bald Mr. Noodle look alike in Minnesucka talk you into playing again this year. You know what this means don't you? Did you weigh all the implications?

Did you consider all of us who have followed your career up until this point? Did you consider all of us who shelled out cash to buy number 4 jerseys, fatheads, bobbleheads, action figures, Favre pictures and footballs? Did you consider all of the people who have made the trek to Green Bay to eat at your restaraunt?

I guess not. You know that when you show up in Lambeau in that stupid Fu@king ugly ass purple jersey you will get your ass booed off.

I know that you are doing this mainly to stick it to Ted Thompson. I know, I hate the guy also. I hate him almost as much as the viqueens. Almost. On my list of hate he ranks just above Chris Duncan, American Idol, and rectal exams, and just below the viqueens, Hitler and hemorrhoids. Oh and by the way, it is only approrpriate that on the week that I have a procedure schedule to examine my point of exit, you decide to fu*k me there , and all the other Packer faithful, two days before it.

Butt Brent has to do what Brent has to do. You go to Minnesota, you play for however long you can. Just let it be known that every Sunday when you put on that purple dress, that instead of me rooting for you and hoping that every time you throw the ball it is for six, I will be rooting for whatever defense is on the other side of the line will break your legs. LT on Theisman style, and I loved Theisman when I was a kid.

You suck Brent. There I said it. Are you happy?

Chris

Okay, I have a lot to cover so strap in...

Okay, I know I have been away for a while, and I will get to that shortly. But first, I will get to what you all have been patiently waiting for, or in Venckus' case IMPATIENTLY. The Entourage interviews. I completed the final interview about three weeks ago, Shawn Hauser, of the Green Bay Hausers. We discussed many things including, the Packers, WGBA, the Packers, Camera dude stuff, and Brett Favre. Now we here at TT have always maintained the fact that Shawn used to roam the sidelines at Lambeau and send in plays via hand signals to Number 4. All the while never really giving one shred of proof. Cause that is how we roll. Well, I was scouring the internet the other day when I saw this picture. BANG! Proof. There he is on the sideline right as Brett is running the play that he sent in. Deal with that haters. There is by no way any funny business with that photo. It is totally legit. As you can see with the Entourage photo on top, I am not that good with Photoshop, YET.

Anyway, if you want to listen to his interview CLICK HERE or just click the link up and to the right. Hauser kicked major ass on this one. He even said that he had not listened to any of the other ones so as to not be influenced or intimidated by the others. Well Hauser, now that yours is over, LISTEN TO THE DAMN PODCASTS. I am not doing this for myself. Or am I?

Okay, now that I have had time to listen to all of them, compare my notes, eat a few bags of Funyuns, and watch the new season of Entourage, I will post the results. Yes, and I will do it in less than a year. I will drag it out a bit though, we do need some drama.

Just so you know what is at stake here. I will tell you. We will not just have a main posse, which will consist of five dudes and me. Six total. I am going to announce a 'Second Team Entourage'. Two total. Kinda like being Second Team All American. No shame, just if one of the boys in the main group is unable to fulfill his duties. For instance, if we are on our way to the Grammys, and for the sake of an example, Posse Member Number 3 has a conflict (which there are only a few excuses I will detail when I give out the Official Posse Handbooks) a call will be made via the bat phone for a back up. Whammo you are in the show.

Now, for those of you who may be picked for the second team, there is no shame in that. You will be kinda like the Packers Stock that they sold back in 1999. You are an official shareholder, and can attend the meetings, but you are not allotted a vote in the official proceedings. You are the shareholders in the company that is the Posse. Very important.

Okay. I will be announcing the Second team first and will have an announcement later in the week. Good luck to all who participated.

NEXT: The topic that has had the NFL network's panties in a bundle. Yes, the NFL network wears panties because they have yet to invest in REAL cameras for their so called camera guys at each team. Man their video sucks balls. Until they invest in real cameras I will consider them a 'panty wearing' network. Anyway back to the story, Brett Favre finally did the right thing. He decided to NOT put on the ugly purple jersey and sell out to the worst team in the history of the NFL the Minnesota viqueens. All the while they sold a shit pile of those number 4 jerseys to the hapless queen fans. Ha, that is almost as funny as the moron who tattooed 'Super Bowl XXXIII Champs on his arm, before the team even made it to the game. And then said he would just add another 'I' next year when they win that one. Moron. It is always 'next year' in queen land.

I am quite pleased in the outcome for several reasons. One being that I do not have to move the Favre Fathead to the garage. Or I do not have to take the Favre jersey off the wall. The other reason being is how he lead all of queen land on this wild goose chase for a whole summer then dumped on them. Kind of like the actual team does every season. HA.

Now the real question is why? Well I will tell you. I will take credit for this decision. Yup, I am not afraid to stand up and accept your thanks. You are welcome TT nation. You are welcome. I think it all goes back to the letter I penned, or typed, for him back when this ugly, nasty, and might I say, downright shitty rumour came out back in early May. I beleive in his heart last week after a great lawn mowing session, he sat back with a cold Leinie's (Honey Weiss or perhaps an Original), tuned in to Jesse James is a Dead Man, opened a bag of Funyuns, logged on to TundraTalk and re-read my plea. After all who can argue with my logic. I know Donna can't, or gave up trying, one of those two.

No one wants to play for the viqueens. That is a fact. Adrian Peterson, no relation, doesn't. He is just biding his time until he can get the big pay day and go to play for the Raiders and suck. His first choice on draft day was the Pack, it is a fact. Look it up, when you find it send it to me so I can read it for myself. Anyway, Favre is not a queen, in the literal putting on the purple jersey sense. He IS a bit of DRAMA Queen though. Thank you Brett for finally retiring. Now you can move on to Canton. No Brett, they do not have a team there you can play for.

NEXT: Where have I been since June 21? Well I will just break it down a bit. Since this is not a forum for me to just spout off everything I am doing (that is Facebook). This is a forum to spout of on the silly things I am doing and to wax prophetic on anything that is Packers related, or just to show everyone how really immature I am. I will just give you a short list and some pics and video...

Took a bit of a vacation to North Dakota and the Black Hills. Blew some shit up on the Fourth of July and then saw Mount Rushmore and some wild life. I was there when Greenpeace put the banner on the mountain but not at Rushmore that day. Missed it by that much. That would have been cool to see. The Black Hills were great fun had by all.





Went to a few Rider games and got on the score board several times. I am a superstar, oh and I know the right camera dudes, errrr persons. McKenna also performed at half time of one of the games with the Rider Cheer Team. That was awesome. Dakota yelled at a crazy fan for taking off his shirt and McKenna got really good at yelling Calgary Sucks. My kids rule.




Went to the lake and did some boating, swimming and grilling. We got a late start on the season this year but have been trying to make up for it. The weather has not be great but when it is we take full advantage of it. Love boating on the lake.





Took the kids to Buffalo Days for rides and greasy food. McKenna is fearless when it comes to rides and will ONLY ride the rides with her hands in the air. Chip off the old block. We also saw MC Hammer and I did a duet with him on the world wide hit, Turn This Mutha Out. Word, as the kids say these days. They still say that don't they? Check the video. Oh, and as for the bad video near the end, McKenna pulled my hat down over my eyes as she was sitting on my shoulders so that is my excuse. Deal with it.

Whew, now that you are all caught up,

GET OUT OF HERE AND GET BACK TO WORK. I HAVE A POSSE TO PICK.

Favre is closer to making the wrong decision...

Favre still trying on the purple dress..

From the desk of Mitch Davis, again...


The world is officially upside down. Favre is going to the Vikings and Michael Irvin is the voice of reason:

"I love Favre and I think he's been a phenomenal talent for a long time. But when I think about it now, I say, 'Stop it already.' I don't mind that you still want to play football, but do you want to play so much, and do you want to get back at Ted Thompson so much, that you're willing to go back into Lambeau and hurt those fans who supported you for so long?''

-- Michael Irvin, to Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times, opining on Favre's desire to return to pro football, in part, Irvin thinks, for vengeance against Green Bay GM Thompson.

I said it before, and I’ll say it again, I’ll be leading the boos if he suits up in purple

Mitch

I thought I would never say this, but I will be booing right there with you. Favre needs to shut it down. I consider Ryan Longwell a traitor as well as Darren Sharper. If Favre makes this move, he will also be labelled as such.

It is so hard being right all the time. Wait, no it's not. Oh and Weiser's Podcast is up and on the air...

Yes, it is hard to be humble. I called it. I told you what would happen, and it happened. Some might call that having ESP, most TV networks might call me up and base a prime time show on me. I just am that good.

The Stanley Cup went to the Pittsburgh Penguins in seven games. If you would like to confirm that I was right, just click here. It was a great final game that was a nail biter from end to end. I am usually very critical of Detroit fans because they hardly ever get to the game on time, or back to their seats for the beginning of the period but I will give them credit for staying through the trophy ceremony and actually clapping for the Penguins. I will also give them credit for booing the shit out of Bettman. I love that. It happens every year and it is worth the wait every year. Bettman is a tool.

I want Ty Conklin's name on the cup really bad, but he just was on the wrong team. If you look at recent history, he has been on the wrong team of late. He was in Edmonton when they lost in seven games to the Carolina Hurricanes. He was also in Ottowa when they lost the cup. He was on the Pittsburgh Penguins last year when they lost to the Wings. I think it is safe to say at this point that if Ty is on your team you will get to the final but winning it is probably not in the cards. In the USHL Ty won back to back championships for the Green Bay Gamblers so he is not a jinx by any means but he did lose the NCAA Frozen Four with the New Hampshire Bears and the Calder Cup (game 7) with the Hamilton Bulldogs. Not sure what to do with all that math.

Let me tell you a story. There is a guy I know named Preacherman. He is a guy from Pulaski Wisconsin. He likes hockey. He also likes the Godless Detroit Red Wings. As he has always done, he will call me or text me after the Red Wings win against the Avs. During this final he took time out of his 'busy' schedule to text me immediately after EVERY game in this series. Of course these texts were not of a complimentary nature. Most of them were very braggadocio. Nice word huh? Yeah, I am kind of a big deal. Anyway, he would most of the time tell me how many games the Red Wings had won. I would always tell him that it takes 4 to win the Cup. He was counting his chickens so to say, which we all know, especially in hockey, a person should not do.

Well, Preacherman has something to say to all of you out there in TundraTalk Nation...

Dear TundraTalk Nation,

I still sit here brokenhearted. When parents say they love their kids equally in their own way, THEY ARE LYING! Every parent has their fav kid. My favorite "kid", the Detroit Red Wings, decided only to show up to a couple of the the Stanley Cup finals games. And it showed by bowing out to my other kid, Sid the kid, and the Pittsburgh Penguins in seven games (as Sign Boy perdicted once again). Chris is getting almost as good with his picks as the stinking genious Arnie Spanier.

As I sat there watching game seven in my Joey Kocur sweater (and Crosby sweatsuit underneath) I realized how much they need Darren McCarty and Chelli out there. The Wings were trying to be too pretty, they need to play that tough game that brought them the past 4 cups. They don't have the skill that they had in '02 (thank God for Brett Hull!) They got ran over, out played, out everything by the Pens. And it does seem like Ty Conkiln is a Stanley Cup curse, even though it pains me to say that. My heart did stop for a little while when Sidney got hurt, but it's all good now.

Mario finally passed the torch to Sid, it's now his league. It was awesome seeing Mario with the cup again. PLEASE Mario, just one more shift. You, Sid, and Malkin.

Preacherman

Well Preacherman, it takes a strong man to admit he was wrong, and boy you were wrong, so I congratulate you on your admitting wrongness. You root for a crappy hockey team and you are not ashamed to admit it. If only you could be as bold about your Lions. Man they suck.

I would like to also at this point say I offered space to Trev Doroshenko to apologize to you, but he would not. He has too much pride (ego) to admit when he is wrong. Oh and he IS WRONG.

NEXT: I had the opportunity to conduct my interview with OG Posse Member Chad Weiser, of the Seattle Weisers, this week. Chad took time out of his 'big city' schedule to make his case for being part of the most elite posse this side of the Mississippi. We are on this side of the Mississippi aren't we?

Anyway, Chad (that is him as Bob McKenzie on the left in the black and white pic) brought the noise and made a strong case for inclusion. He took Marty Frey's smak and handed it right back, he set the record straight on the War Hero in the car wash incident, and did quite well on his movie quotes. CLICK HERE to listen to the podcast or just click the link at the top right of the page. You know TundraTalk is the Podcast that does not suck.

Next up on the Podcast that never ends is Shawn Hauser of the Green Bay Hausers. He will round up our interview process and send the wheels in motion to selection. Unless, Tony Mutzenberger makes a late apperance. Which would be nice.

How will the selection happen you ask? Well let me tell ya. It, of course, will be long and drawn out. I will be selection 5 guys for the posse, PLUS two alternates. The alternates will not have the honor of being in the actual posse BUT will be called upon at a moments notice to fill in for a 'first team' memeber if he cannot fulfill his duties at any time.

On the first selection post I will name the two fellas who rose up to be apart of the the alternate crew. Then I will post once a day until we have the whole crew named. I know, the tension is thick and you cannot hardly wait, but it will be worth it.

Now, Have a great Monday, and GET BACK TO WORK!!!

When will it ever end?

From the desk of Mitch Davis...

If this happens I am officially ‘anti-Favre’ (from SI.com):

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -- Can Brett Favre still be a great quarterback? Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress says he doesn't know, but to "stay tuned." Childress says he called Favre last week. That's the latest update from Minnesota's coach, who didn't elaborate on the conversation. Childress sidestepped most questions about the quarterback's status Thursday, refusing to speculate while Favre officially remains retired. The Vikings have one more organized practice this week, their last scheduled activity until training camp begins July 31. Childress declined to answer when asked if he needs clarity on the situation before then. In a radio interview Wednesday, the coach said he's eager to see what Favre has left in his arm, which reportedly was surgically repaired after the end of last season.

The dood should just retire rather than wrecking his past for a couple crappy years with the Vikings

My 2 cents

Mitch Davis

You are correct sir. You are correct.

My pick for the Finals, Marty's Podcast, and another queen dumbass...

Okay, I know a lot of you have already seen the video above but I am showing it now because it is almost boat season here in Saskabush and I am damn sure going to be singing this song, in my head, every time I set foot in my boat. Funny as shit. I played it at work about 30 times the other day.

Oh, if you are at work make sure you do not turn it up because there is some swearing in the song. I will not take any responsibility if you lose your job because you are jamming out to this. I saw it first on Shannon Just Blog.

NEXT: I conducted Marty Frey's Entourage interview last night and it was epic. I will be editing it today and hopefully have it up tonight for all 20 or so of you who actually take the time to listen to it to peruse. Marty came strong and took shots at the host, NBC, Jay Leno, and of course the queens.

Speaking of Jay Leno he gave us some insight in the whole shift of power between Jay and Conan since he has been in rehearsals for Conan's show all week. This is another TT exclusive for you. I am truly a media mogul running this multi dollar website. You can CLICK HERE or click on the link to the right to listen to the podcast. If the words are not blue I do not have it up yet. When they turn blue it is on. Nice.

That also means that Chad Weiser, of the Seattle coffee drinkin' Weisers, is up next. I plan on cranking that one out soon also so be prepared.


NEXT: My picks for the Stanley Cup Final will be very similar to last year except for one thing....

DETROIT RED WINGS (2) VS PITTSBURGH PENGUINS (4)

Now, you all know I hate the Red Wings with a passion. I don't need to go there. We also know that Preacher and Doroshenko misguidedly love the wings. Don't need to go there. Ty Conklin is one of the greatest Green Bay Gamblers of all time AND a TT vetran. True. I want Ty's name on the Cup more than I want Favre to stay retired (which he will). Yes we know that. Preacher is in love with Sidney Crosby. True.

So where is this going? To the obvious, Penguins will win the Stanley Cup. Take it to the bank. Now I will tell you why. Since Gary Bettman is a tool and his only desire is not to keep the game of hockey great but to get better ratings in the USA (which will NEVER happen). In his infinite wisdom, and since NBC has their hand up his ass (sorry Marty). He has decided to play back to back games in the Stanley Cup final. Somebody kick this guys ass now.

Some of you may say that these guys are pros and should just shut up and play. Well you can say that as long as you are just watching them on TV. BUT, I followed the Oilers in 2006 in the playoffs and finals and I can tell you by being there that this is a very difficult thing to win the Stanley Cup. These guys beat the shit out of each other and that day of rest is very important to them. Gary, the numbnuts, Bettman makes them play Saturday night and then again Sunday afternoon. That is less than 24 hours to recover. God forbid the game goes a few overtimes. Screw Gary Bettman. He is ruining the game of hockey. Not to mention his hypocracy with this whole Phoenix Coyotes thing. Screw him.

Anyway, I think the Penguins are less beat up and are more ready for this. Sid the Kid has the eye of the tiger and Billy Gun Guerin has not got this far in his career and is not going to let it slip away. Sorry Ty, I am taking the Penguins in 7.

I would also like you to notice for the past few posts there has been little things to click on at the bottom. Kinda instant feedback you can say. Make sure you take time to click on the stuff on the bottom. Especially the viqueens suck one.

Oh and one more thing: I found this the other day on PackerPalace dot com. Fran Tarkenton, who played for the queens, has apparently lots to say about Favre in the Green Bay Press Gazette. After reading this...

“I think it's despicable,” Tarkenton told 790 The Zone in Atlanta (via the Minneapolis Star Tribune) regarding the possibility of Brett Favre playing for the Vikings. “What he put the Packers through last year was not good. Here’s an organization that was loyal to him for 17, 18 years, provided stability of organization, provided players. It just wasn’t about Brett Favre. In this day and time, we have glorified the Brett Favre’s of the world so much, they think it’s about them. He goes to New York and bombs. He’s 39 years old. How would you like Ray Nitschke in his last year [playing for] the Vikings, or I retire, and go play for the Packers? I kind of hope it happens, so he can fail.”

“He told the Packers [after 2008 that], ‘I’m retiring,’” Tarkenton said. “They’ve got to move on. They’ve got to go through their offseason plan, their workouts, they go with the other quarterback [Aaron Rodgers], who is a good player, and then [Favre] comes back and says, ‘I think I want to play.’ . . . You build your team in the offseason. Everybody knows that. It’s about team. It’s not about Brett Favre. So he goes and runs up to the Jets, doesn’t even dress in the locker room with the players. Has a separate facility. Playing quarterback is about the relationships you have with your coaches, with your players, with your trainers, with your managers. How can you do that if you show up on gameday and you haven’t put the time in? And now he’s trying to do it again in Minnesota. And if Minnesota bites, God bless them. . . .

“He’s been a great player, there’s no question about it, but it’s all about him. It is supposed to be all about your team. If you’re going to be the quarterback of your team, you need to be there in the offseason workouts in March and April. Peyton Manning’s there. Tom Brady’s there.”

“I think [Favre] has been a great flamboyant quarterback, but he has made more stupid plays than any great quarterback that I’ve ever seen,” Tarkenton said. “Look at his final game in a Packers uniform [the 2007 NFC title game]. He blew that game against the Giants. He’s playing against Eli Manning. I love Eli Manning, but he’s still not a great quarterback. He’s not Peyton yet, or Tom Brady. He’s just a guy. And [the Packers] are playing at home, and they’re in a tight situation, they went to overtime and [Favre] throws the interception that allows [the Giants] to come back and win the game.”

I used to have a lot of respect for Fran, but now all I have to say to him is show me your ring dick weed, then you can talk. Suck on that Frannie boy.

Thank you.

Make sure you send Derek Venckus, of the Deep South Venckus', a happy birthday greeting. He will appreciate it.
Have a great day and an even better weekend. Now GET BACK TO WORK.
