Why Brett Favre Will play for the Vikings in the 2010 season?

Why Brett Favre Will play for the Vikings in the 2010 season? After making several costly errors in the NFC championship game Saturday night in the Super Dome at New Orleans, Brett Favre fell short of going to compete in his 3rd super bowl. Favre made back to back Super bowls in 1997 and 1998. Winning in 1997 against the New England Patriots and losing in 1998 to the Denver Broncos. The NFC Championship game was the most entertaining and best post season game of the season, even though their were some costly mistakes. Favre, who threw 2 interceptions in the game, threw one within the last 20 seconds of regulation losing all hope for the Vikings long attempt at a game winning field goal. Instead the Vikings and Saints went into over time and the Saints pulled off the defeat. Although, Favre through several interceptions in the last game of the season for the Minnesota Vikings, he still played a great performance game throwing a touchdown pass and over 300 yards. The Minnesota Viki...

The NFL Voted Wrong

The NFL Voted Wrong! Favre’s completion percentage this past season was 68.4 percent which was only .4 percent of Peyton Manning’s 68.8 percent. Brett Favre’s passer rating was 7.3 percent higher than Manning’s 99.9 percent and Drew Brees was the only quarterback with a higher passer rating than Brett Favre this year with a passer rating of 109.6. Brett Favre threw for over 4200 yards while Drew Brees through for over 4300 and Peyton Manning threw for exactly 4500 yards. Although Peyton Manning won the MVP this year, Brett Favre and Drew Brees both were more successful candidates to win MVP. They had less interceptions (Favre – 7, Brees – 11, Manning – 16), better passer ratings (Favre – 107.0, Brees – 109.6, Manning – 99.9), and equal too or more touchdowns (Favre – 33, Brees – 34, Manning – 33). Peyton Manning had worse numbers this year than he did in 2005 and in 2006, which in those two years he lost the MVP award to Shaun Alexander and LaDanian Tomlinson. This year Peyton Mann...

Avatar has been grossing more profit in the last 5 weeks than any other competitor set out to compete.

The 500 million dollars Avatar has grossed makes it the fastest motion picture to cross the mark, which took only 32 days.
