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!!!

TundratTalk Nation rises up...

Okay, I am sorry that it took me to blow up on you but you came through. Marty was the first to step up to the plate but the rest of you took off.

First up we have Ivy, of the Moorhead Minnesota Ivy's. He apparently is down south somewhere that is not experiencing the best of weather. Ivy what you got?

Peterson:

I was actually thinking a Pack jersey might be OK, as I thought "the" question could be Pack, or Queens? He is an old Gopher you know.

And it is totally appropriate to break tradition and do the 4 fingers with Nature Boy. You really shouldn't do it any other way in my opinion.

Wish I was there. Coldest weather in Florida since the Ice Age and too windy to fish. Oh well...

Later

Ivy

Okay Ivy is for the Pack jersey. Figures since he is a queen fan. Remember all you queen fans are welcome under our tent. No harm done. He is also for the four fingers up. I am thinking that is a good idea also. As for your question, not bad. I might add that one in there. If he says queens, I am not sure if I will tell him he is wrong, even though he would be. I know it would be an honour for him to lock in the figure four on me, but that kinda hurts so I think I will leave it alone.

Next up is Danny McIntosh, of the Regina CTV (sucks) McIntosh's. He is also in agreement on the four fingers up...

I have the solutions to your problems my friend. You wear your very own Ric Flair/Chris Peterson head to toe Armani. You flash the 4 fingers. And you ask him how his kids are doing. Problem solved.

Need anything else - let me know.

Dan McIntosh

Okay Danny. Thanks for the help. Not sure I am going to ask how are his kids. I do know that one of his boys is going to wrestle one of Hogan's kids. The one who is not in jail for killing someone (allegedly). As for the 'anything else' how about coming over and shoveling my driveway. See ya soon.

Next on the list of those who helped is Jon Bauer, of the Minot Budget Tapes and Records Bauer's..

Chris,

thing to sign : your arm so that you can make it into a real neat tattoo
thing to wear: Carolina Huricanes Hockey jersey
question: ask him if he has ever met Chris Paul

hope this helped

Jon Bauer

First off, no, Jon is not related to Jack Bauer of 24 fame. Second, the tattoo is funny but not practical. I did a story on a guy in GB once who wanted Favre to sign his back so he could do that. He also had a full size tattoo of Lambeau Field, Lombardi, the Super Bowl trophies (viqueens don't have any), and about 10 0ther things Packer related. Nope, not gonna do it. The Carolina Hurricanes jersey is a good idea but I do not have one. Last but not least, who is Chris Paul? Is he a basketball player, and why should Flair know him?

Next up is Heath McCoy, of the Calgary Herald McCoy's. He is as you all know the author of the great book about Stampede Wrestling. You can buy it here. Great book. Let see if his ideas are as good as the book...

Seriously man… That was a funny blog. I'd definitely pose with him doing the horsemen hand sign. It's a show of respect and will show him you're a true fan as opposed to the generic thumbs up.

As for the question… I think I'd ask him what he considers to be the golden era of professional wrestling and if he thinks the art is dying in the current climate. How does today's product measure up to what he was bringing people in the 70s and 80s?

Good luck man… I'm pumped for ya.

Heath

Thank you Heath. I appreciate your comments since you are a big time author and all. Another vote for the four fingers up. I like your question a lot. I was thinking of asking something along these lines but could not word it as well as you did. I guess that is why you get paid to do this by the Calgary Hearald. Nice job Heath. I will ask him that.

Donna, of the Donna's who lives in my house Donna's, also gave me some, ahem, advice.

Christopher,

You sound like a girl getting ready for the prom. I don't think you planned this much for our wedding. Donna

uh thanks, I think. I am not sure if you really know what a prom is since you do not have those here in Canada. But thanks again. Oh and I did plan a lot for our wedding. Remember the keg. That was me.

Last but not least, Venckus Schmenkus, of the Tennessee Venckus',drops this one on me...

Peterson,

You think you're stressed? Really? My stomach has been in knots for months waiting to find out if I'm part of your entourage.

Venckus

Okay Derek, dually noted. I am still trying to get over the fact that I did not get the war hero on a podcast and have got a bit lazy. First order of business next week is getting Mitch Davis on his interview for the Entourage. I have a few days off next week so I can get this done. Oh, wait, he is going to some beach somewhere. Okay, so we will adjust our lineup a bit and skip over to Marty. Then Mitch, if he is back. Or we will just do Weiser. Get ready boys cause here I come.

Tomorrow, Doroshenko is driving me to the airport at 7am so I have to pack. Get ready E Town Here I come.

Now again, GET BACK TO WORK!!!

Just a few things...

Okay first things first. Schmenkus' Podcast has raised the ire of the Nordic One. He seems to think that Venckus was running smak at him. Here is what he had to say...

WOW. Schmeckus runs smack at me? I guess I will take that as a honor as the one to take off the hill. And the he has the balls to Rank on Curling. He was good until he went there.

Nordic Man

The Nordic One is huge into curling. In fact I think it is safe to say in Green Bay, the Nordic Man IS curling. Venckus the ball, or should I say rock, is in your house now. What say?

Okay, lets get on with things...

Why does Danny Mac have that look of 'shoot me now' on his face? Well last Friday the Prime Minister was in town. Okay for those of you south of the border, it is like the President George W. Well, except this PM did not steal an election to get his position. He won fair and square. Any way Prime Minister Steven Harper was in town for a very, very, staged photo op. He is giving all the RCMP Cadets money during their training, which is a good thing. It is hard to find anything bad in this announcement. Still I think the PM is a major dork.

He came in, stood around for the cameras and then held a major presser with a room full of Cadets. That is the key to a good presser, fill it with people that there is no way that they will disagree with you. It is easy to get over in a room full of people you are giving stuff to. I don't mean to be all negative on this, but I am not a fan of Harper at all. Too much of a bully for my taste. I think he is more about his image and taking care of his buddies in the oil industry in Alberta than keeping Canada on the straight and narrow. Anyway, I got my video, and got out. Danny Mac was equally as excited.

Okay enough about the guy who is too much of an uptight dork to hug his kid on the first day of school in front of the cameras. Lets move on.

Well this is what I did on Fathers Day. The Monster Energy Drink Canada tour. We drove to Morden Manitoba and worked a Motorcross race. Not a bad gig. I was positioned on a hill jump about two feet from the bikes. I swear I was bumped a few times as the bikes jumped over my head. It was awesome.

The day started a bit crappy because it rained but it cleared up and the races went off without a hitch. I was invited to go on this trip by Matt, of the trip to Billings to get my truck Matt. That is him in the really gay, not that there is anything wrong with that, rain gear and head band. I know Preacher is a big moto guy so he probably knows some of the guys on this tour but I had no idea. It was a good experience and another thing I can say that I worked. Sweet gig.

Well I am still waiting to hear back from the War Hero Tony Mutzenberger to see if he is going to lower himself to do a Podcast so I will let you know how that goes. Until then,
GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!
