Favre Viking Football tickets are selling better than hotcakes.
I know, I've made a lot of hotcakes, or pancakes, back when I owned a little cafe during the really, really big Favre years here in Wisconsin. Boy it was rough being a Viking fan in Wisconsin back then! To watch Brett Favre run around that field like a maniac or some kind of wiggle worm, I'd scratch my head and pull my hair out wondering why the heck the Vikings couldn't catch the little bugger! Well, it was just very stressful in an enjoyable dramatic sort of way, that's all I can say.
The capacity for the Hubert H
Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, MN is listed at 64,111 for football
games, I don't think I ever sold more than 1,000 hotcakes/pancakes in any one day!
It is so refreshingly delightful and delicious that all my wonderful Packer friends here in Wisconsin will now get to see what the rest of the football world has been suffering through and putting up with since Favre walked onto Lambeau Field in 1992! Ha! May you enjoy the drama as much as I did and did not at times.
We used to bet Jerseys on the Viking-Packer games when I was in the restaurant business. Employees and Customers alike were foolish enough to bet that the Packers would beat the Vikings on any given Sunday. In the almost 9 years than I ran that little Cafe, I only had to wear a Packer Jersey once!! Even though the Vikings lost to the Packers more than once in all that time, yes, 'tis true; they would usually bet and lose and then be afraid or reluctant to bet on the next game, not wanting to wear purple once again! Ha ha ha.
Of course they did have a good laugh when the Packers won SuperBowl XXXI (1/26/1997) against the Patriots 35-21 down der in Weesiana. Some of my employees redecorated my little cafe with all sorts of GB Packer junk and stuff. I needed therapy after that. :) Although in some strange sort of way, I was quite happy for Brett Favre, which I believe is a testament to his being one with the game, in a zen like way. Favre is a football player who comes on the field to provide that drama to the fans, to play, have fun, and win!
But I had the last laugh insofar as SuperBowls are concerned when Elway and the Broncos beat the Packers in SuperBowl XXXII (1/25/1998) over der in San Diego, by a score of 31-24! Ha ha ha! (last laugh.) In the same strange way that I was happy for Favre in 1997, I was a little sad that he had to lose that day, but of course I was just as happy that Elway got his first win too!
All of this history of course is what makes Favre Viking Football so sweeeeeet!! If Favre had won that last SuperBowl, well things would probably be different.
.....in other news
Brett Favre now has his own page on the
Minneapolis Star Tribune news site!
In the Green Bay Gazette forums they're whining about the loss of Favre and tourism to the area. There will be plenty of tourists in town on November 1st when Favre Viking Football comes to town!
The "Carter's Cafe" sign across from road from the Minnesota Vikings offices at the team's training facility was changed to "FAVRE's CAFE" on Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2009 in Eden Prairie, MN. Perfect. Favre's Cafe. The Sheboygan Press posted this story and photo:
I wonder how Brett Favre's Steakhouse is going fair here in Green Bay, Wisconsin?
Speaking of Fairs - I wonder if Favre will show up at the 2009 Minnesota State Fair in St Paul, MN. I know other football players have done so in the past. Growing up in Minneapolis, I have very fond memories of the greatest State Fair in the USA. This year, 2009, it runs from August 27 through September 7th - it always ends on Labor Day.
....and this by Gonzo from The Daily Norseman: Chicago. . .It's a Delusional Town. . .
"According to fans of the other teams in the NFC North, over the past few weeks, the Vikings have been screwed because they were going to sign Brett Favre, screwed because they then failed to sign Brett Favre, and most recently screwed because they actually signed Brett Favre. Apparently the Vikings have been screwed so frequently over the past month or so that you'd think Hugh Hefner had moved the Playboy Mansion to Eden Prairie."
Ha ha ha.... this is allllll so funny!
