Word Association round three - what word pops in the 'ol Grey Matter
Ten
I don’t get the Tarkenton hate. I loved watching him play. He played tough for a man of his stature. I will always be a Tarkenton fan.

Hate is a strong word....disdain maybe?
Here is a Viking legend that wants nothing to do with the team except when it benefits him. Look at 09....nobody hears boo shit from fran until the team is locked for the playoffs and he has a book to sell...suddenly he is Mr Viking once again.

I remember him saying that he didnt think Favre was a good fit, or something like that, when Favre came to town.
Kind of hard to be around after saying something like that.Unless it’s someone like Sharper, I still like most players who were once Vikings.

he wasnt around before Favre... he only came back around in 09 because the team was making the national spotlight and he was pimping a book or some such shit IIRC.

If I remember correctly, he was asked when the Vikings got Favre what he thought. It may have been the middle of the year, but whatever, you aren’t going to change my opinion about liking him or not.
He hasn’t done anything to me personally, and he seems to embrace the Vikings organization a bit more now.
I’m 55 years old, I did and said stuff that rubbed people the wrong way when i was younger. But, as I have aged I have tried to lighten up a bit, and see things from a different prospective. Maybe that’s why sometimes people make better grandparents, than parents. They mellow a bit with age.
