NFL WEEK 8 LIVE GAME BLOG: FAVRE VS. THE CITY OF GREEN BAY EDITION!

When Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings clashed with Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football earlier this season, the NFL’s elder statesman met and surpassed all expectations, the Vikings won easily, and the press fell in love with Favre all over again. Nice show, but we always felt that something was sorely missing from that hype-fest: Brett might have been facing his old team–in the harmonious, 75-degree confines of the Superdome–but what about his old fans? Entirely different story. THIS is the game that needed to be on Monday Night Football… but we won’t complain.
A great day of football is ahead.
Got something to say? Bring it.

Artie — Agree with me: The Giants HAVE to show up today. They are playing the team that bounced them last season. They’ve lost two in a row. Doesn’t matter who’s hurt. They need to devastate Philly.
C-O-U-R-T-N-E-Y: Agree with THIS: The Cowboys MUST beat the Seahawks. Anything less than a win labels them rightly as a total fraud. Will we still be gushing about Miles Austin after today?
steverodgers: How was trick-or-treating with Trent Edwards and his Girlfriend? Is Orton still texting you constantly? Weird.
Is there a worse commercial on TV than ultra-annoying Michael Strahan and Jared from Subway and the Other Dude singing “Five-Dollar-Footlong”?
Giants need to come to life.
Got a sad text from orton, but still upbeat. Trents GF baked pumpkin cookies, drank cider and we watched “say anything.”
