Having followed the Vikes through thick and thin but mostly thin for longer than you've been alive I will tell you why Viking fans are pissed off.
Cast your mind back 12 months - we got dicked around with would he retire, would he come to the Vikes, would the Packers allow it - and in the end he signed for the Jets. It fucked up the camps and the team got off to a slow start and never really got going.
Major Dad sees what happened in Tenn and realised that the Vikes just need a competent QB who can hit more than 45% of his passes and not be the drive killer that T-Jack was. The reality is that everyone knew that our offense last season was hand the ball to AD, hand the ball to AD, throw for 5 yards and then punt. Long term AD got shut down and banged up by about week 10 - thanks to some Bucs cheap shots. AD is great but he is brittle and can't run against 11 guys in the box on every down.
So this off season - we sign Sage. Ok, not the greatest but he isn't T-Jack and that is a good thing.
Then all of sudden we get the Favre soap opera that we had last year. Will he, won't he. He says he won't. OK say all of the fans, no problem and we'll go with Sage. But oh no, suddenly Mr Drama Queen decides oh yes he does want in. Fucking Major Dad starts prostituting himself before him, destroying any respect that anyone in the team might have had for him. Destroying his credibility and we have to start again.
Is Favre really an improvement? I'd say not. He is old, egotistic, injury-prone and bad for team spirit. Having a soap opera surrounding the team does not make it better. Having your head coach look like a cunt does not improve the team.
Favre for about the last 10 years has been all about him. Not about the team. This is not about helping the Vikings win, it is about him wanting to settle scores and his own little ego. So that means him and his fucking 'streak' of consecutive games, Favre cares only about himself and his stats. There are plenty of tales about how poisonous the locker room at the Jets became last year with all of Favre's demands for special treatment.
Not only will Viking fans have to put up with Major Dad's shitty play-calling but we'll also have Favre's ego calling the shots.
This move will rank up there with the Walker trade for boneheaded Viking moves.
Embarrassing for Vikes fans and all of us know that it will end in tears.
