Only the Vikes would do something like this...

But I am just kidding...

I would love to have Brett play for the Vikes as I would bet he has some very good years left.

I think Farve could help the vikings also. Just two problems. One I'm still not a fan of favre even though he is a good quarterback (to bad he has a healthy ego to go along with his talent.) And two, the Vikings didn't give up enough in the mock trade (ala Hershel Walker) grin.gif

If Favre ever came to the Vikes ( NEVER WILL HAPPEN ) we would have to get the Packers 1st & 2nd round draft picks for the next 3 years just for taking him . Even at that I would be a Lions fan until he left .

I think you're the only one here with a biased opinion of Farve. Thinking he is God gift to football. I and many others have stated he is a good QB just not the best ever like you seem to think. Me being biased would be saying something like Fran Tarkenton is the best QB ever. Which many Vikings fans may think but I don't. Just because I'm a Viking fan I know their are better players on other teams.

So, Favre plus a 2nd rounder for Phat Pat? I think I'll pass

I think Favre would have a few years left if he had more talent around him, Offensive line to protect him better and a good runing back and better WR's and he doesn't have that with the Packers. This will be his last year with the pack, I think he will finally retire.

If Trent Green is only worth a 4th, Farve is worth a 2nd or 3rd at best.

All Brad Johnson needed was 3 great wide receivers, a great offensive line, a really good tight end, a great running back, a good blocking fullback, a smart offensive coordinator, a brilliant head coach, and a stronger arm, and he could have lit up the score board last year.

Is that too much to ask for as a veteran QB?

I think not.

I'm just having fun with you guys Slot.....My comment was based on the fact that a Vikings fan thought Favre could help and he would welcome him, not that he is the best quarterback ever (that is the other thread were I said that grin.gif )...........I think Favre warrants a better trade than that though

We could keep the same guys on our team right now and put Favre on the team and we still wouldn't make the playoffs IMO. I don't even think Peyton could bring us to the playoffs this year. So to give up whatever it would take to get Favre for one year would be stupid. I don't care how good a QB you are if you don't have time to throw you will stink. We can run the ball because the left side of the line can block but it takes a whole line to block to get a pass off.

Good point Slot, but you also have to think about what a player can do with out doing anything.....ie. Moss, T.O., Vick, McNabb(a few years ago). You have to play them honest and you have to respect what they might do. Moss and T.O. get double teamed and open up somebody else. Vick and McNabb can run all over you at any time. Favre is still good enough that you have to respect his arm and his ability to create a play. I do agree with you and your point about the line. It will be evident this year in Oakland.

I agree with that except for the QB position. Unless it's a Vick type running QB. Then you always have to respect that. Favre has a big arm but it takes time to get off a long pass. So no blocking no long passes thus it would take Favre/Manning/Brady out of the equation. QB's that are statues need time. By the way...what players did Moss open up last year? The Raiders QB's had no time so it didn't matter.

I'll give you that, Moss didn't open anyone up because they didn't have anyone one to open up. Plus no QB on top of it......you are absolutly correct about the line, thats why the Browns made Joe the second pick, it is one of the most important portions of the team. The Packers showed some improvment last year and will look better this year. The Vikings will be able to run again this year, especially if Peterson stays healthy. Will either team be able to pass? Only time will tell.

POLICE REPORT:

Brad Childress's House was Egged

Minneapolis police reported that some individual attempted to "egg"

Brad Childress's house last night.

An empty egg carton was recovered at the scene. Two eggs hit Mr. Childress's house, 3 eggs went over his house and hit his neighbor's back door,

2 eggs hit the houses of each of his next door neighbors, and the remaining 3 eggs were found broken on the ground near the carton from where the

individual threw them.

Looking at what was hit, police officials say they are considering Tavarius Jackson as the primary suspect.

I was going to say the last time I heard that joke it was Dante. I'm sure the next old joke Shiner will throw out is the vikings have terrorist on their team with pictures of Moss aka Osama Bin Complainin, Dante aka Osama Bin Fumblin, and Denny Green, Osama Bin Losin.

Even with all the Vikings jokes at least we can say we don't have a brown streak on our goal post. Something we can actually thank Moss for.

Here you go Shiner a couple of jokes for you:

Q:Why do the trees in Milwaukee lean to the south?

A:Because Green Bay blows and Chicago sucks.

Q:What is the diffrence between a Packer fan and a baby?

A:The baby will stop whinning after awhile.

Q:Did you here about the Packer fan that died at a pie eating contest?

A:The cow kicked him in the head!

Q:What do you call a 350 pound Packer fan?

A:An anorexic!

Q:What do you call a beautiful girl in Green Bay?

A:A tourist.

Here are some Brett Favre ones for yah.

Q:Why cant Brett Favre get into his own driveway?

A:Someone painted and endzone on it.

Q:Why is the Bears quarterback unable to answer a telephone?

A:He can't find the receiver

Q:Why does Brett Favre smell so bad?

A:So blind people can hate them as well.

Q:Why did Brett Favre get so excited after he finished his jigsaw puzzle in only 6 months?

A:Because on the box it said From 2-4 years.

Q:Why do the Packers bring Favre along to play the Vikings?

A:So they can park in the handicap zone.

Q:What do you say to a drunken alcoholic who is passed out onyour car after a Packer game?

A:"May I have your autograph Mr. Favre?"

Q:Why was the government thinking of sending Bret Favre to Iraq?

A:They were hoping he would overthrow Sadam Hussein.

I also had to put this one in for you:

John Madden was in Denver to announce a football game one weekend when he noticed a special phone near the Bronco's bench. He asked Coach Shanahan what it was for and was told it was a hot line to GOD. John asked the coach if he could use it and the coach said: "Sure, but it will cost you $100."

Madden scratched his head and then said: "What the heck, I need some help picking the games." He pulled out his wallet and paid the $100. Madden was perfect that week.

The next weekend Madden was in Green Bay when he noticed the same kind of phone near the Packer bench. He asked The Packer Coach, what the phone was for and was told: "It's a hot line to GOD and if you want to use it, it will cost you $100."

Recalling the previous week, Madden pulled out his wallet and paid the $100. Once again Madden was perfect.

The next weekend Madden was at the Metrodome when he noticed the same phone near the Vikings bench. He asked Coach Childress if it was a hot line to GOD. Childress, "Yes it is; do you want to use it? It will cost you 35 cents."

Madden looked at Coach Childress and said, "Wait a minute! I just paid $100 in Denver and $100 in Green Bay to use the same phone! Why in Minnesota do they only charge 35 cents?"

Childress looked at Madden and replied very matter-of-factly, "In Minnesota it's a local call."

      Opener and the week after were good.  Not the numbers we normally get but better quality in the East End.  Not surprised on the weights for the Auto City a.  Usually for us we only catch a few slot fish but we averaged 3 a day for 10 days.  2 overs, biggest 27 inches.     Our best luck was 12-16 feet for quality.  When we went deeper we caught more but smaller.  Bass were really starting to heat up.  For me little earlier than normal.  Found some nice Bluegills the day we went after some panfish.  Dock fishing was as many as we wanted per usual.
    • Shulsebus
      We will be up on June 8th for the week. It will be our 13th year in a row staying on the lake.  I hope the walleye are hitting the bobbers by the time that we get there. 
    • SkunkedAgain
      Those are some fine specimens. Great job
    • gimruis
      I'm quite shocked to hear that a walleye tournament is still doing a live weigh in.  Virtually every event these days around here is doing a catch, photo, and release format.   Regardless, nice work.  Congrats.
    • LakeofthewoodsMN
      On the south end...   A great week of fishing with walleyes and saugers caught in good numbers.   The go-to presentation, again, was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 17 - 21' of water.  Various schools of walleyes and saugers across the south shore.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well again.   Some big pike and jumbo perch being caught by walleye anglers. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers normally head to the lake.  12 - 15' of water is holding some nice fish.   Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River is closed until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes being caught along with a mixed bag.  12 - 25 feet of water.  Points, neck down areas and bays with warming water were holding good fish this week.    The go-to presentation was a jig and minnow as on the south shore.  A mixed bag as is common around the Angle.

      Nice work!   Here's two words you hardly ever hear anyone say anymore.  "grateful and humbled"   
    • Brianf.
      RLG, thanks for the shout-out!     Jeff and I are still trying to wrap our heads around what happened this past weekend.  We are humbled and full of gratitude  for having won 'The Classic' for a second time.     We practiced through all the rain on Thurs and the wind on Friday and found six different spots holding big fish.  Fishing was good on both days with several 'overs' in our catch...but would it hold up for another day?   We didn't know.     On tourney day, we made a long run to our first spot where I lucked out on a 26.5"er on my second cast.  Jeff followed up with a thick 27" er a few minutes later, which turned out to be the big fish for the event at 7.26lbs.  We finished out our limit and weighed-in at 10:30 am for the welfare of the fish in our livewell.    There were some big weights in this event which would have won in most other years, but - for whatever reason - this was our day.  Everything just went our way.  Again, we are just super grateful and humbled by this success.  We also want to congratulate all the other anglers who did well and give a big 'thank you' to the tournament organizers who put on such a great event!

      I had a good start to the season on opener. Fishing was slow but consistent. I had four eaters in the box by lunch dragging perch raps. Crappies were biting. I haven't been up since so don't know how things have changed since then, but I'm sure the walleye continue to migrate out into the main basins.
    • redlabguy
      Let’s start this by congratulating Brianf and son for winning their second City Autoglass Walleye Classic last weekend. These guys know how to fish.  We just got to the lake for the season. Chores are almost done and I’m ready to fish.  red(new dog is more yellow)labguy

      I tried starting a 2024 Lake Vermilion Fishing Report topic but it doesn't show up on this board.   Maybe somebody else knows how to do it?
