I liked a comment about Fran on the star tribune web site: “Give it a rest already. We haven’t heard from you in 30 years and now suddenly you’re a big fan again.”

yeah, he says it’s done. no doubt. it’s just that he’s old school and can’t ” put his arms around it” like some of you guys said. he just has hated farve so long and now he has to root for him? just ain’t right he says………i just laugh at him. he’s like frans age, and just can’t get a hold of this, but says hey, ” we need a bowl win, if farve’s da guy den get his ass in.”

I thought your uncle said Favre was a done deal.

To those who have accused Fran of hypocrisy since he forced the Vikings to trade him, hasn’t been a team booster, and is marketing his book, you say “Can it all you haters.” I say to you all the hate was started by grump old Fran.

i really sorry viking fans, i just love fran tarkenton. he’s my uncles favorite alltime player. i told you guys before, he goes to games with his old #10 jersy on. it’s too small for his damn beer belly but he loves franny. he’s just tore up about this. he hates farves ass, but thinks it’s for the best. and now franny says hold up? my uncle says,” hey franny knows what he’s talkin.” this guy is the ultimate alltime viking “N UT”. i love em. and i love fran. even though i’m a cowboy fan……i’m a football fan of this great game first. so i’m sorry about ramblin on and on, but it’s my passion. thanks for listening guys.

thanks danzinski, i think you hit it about what fran is trying to say, he the old guy in the crowd that stands up and says ” hey wait a minute there boys, when i was young we used to do it this way.” he needs his time, and deserves his respect. i think you got that too.

i’m old school……i’m 47 years old. i was born in 1962. i have kids as old as some of these young footballers of this game today. when i hear an old boy from the past shoot off a little and tell it like it is, i love it. i miss howard cossell. he was a reporter. not this shit that you see now on espn. he was grit. he saw controversy with ALI. he knew ALI was a mouth. but instead of treating him like the press of today going after OWENS, he opened up the real ALI to the world. love him or hate him, because of howard you knew who ALI was. i miss walter croncite. “ole concrete” my gramps used to call him. he always had the bad news to tell every nite, but when walter was done, you just knew that tomorrow could be better. he had class, and dignity that is lost today. the reason i believe is we no longer respect our elderly. the wisdom filled, experienced mavericks that have gone before us and have tread those paths and made them walkable. this is why i love fran. he’s the old guy. he knows his shit. he’s been there. he’s won-he’s lost. he bit it off and spit it out. again, he knows his shit…………..this is the problem, he’s not just a grumpy old man. this is why are country is in the turmoil we have. i was a student of history in school. history always repeats itself because people don’t change they do the same stupid shit generation after generation. and when and ole guy says be careful, we need to listen, cause he could be right. he ain’t an idiot. i do think farve would do well in minny, but maybe it’s all wishful thinking not wanting to say that farve maybe just an old guy too. meaning; “ he knows alot but can’t do shit.” i believe fran is imputting some great knowledge on the situation that should be heeded. that puts fran in a different lite……………..please cut him some slack, and respect what he’s done, really thats all he wants. and if the vikes win with farve, he’ll be the first to say i was wrong.

Damn Fran, we only care what Brett Favre can do for the Vikings football team now. We accepted Ryan Longwell, Darren Sharper, etc. Stop changing your story and living in the past. And start watching the Vikings games so you can prove you are really a fan of today’s team and give an informed opinion.
