Favre Throws Costly INT as Saints Slip Past Vikings in OT

Including what could be known as the biggest interception in Brett Favre’s long history of interceptions, the Vikings wasted too many chances to blame anyone but themselves in their 31-28 NFC Championship loss to the Saints.

The game was a cluster-f**k to say the least.

The 1st quarter and beginning of the 2nd appeared to be the makings of a shoot-out, as both teams were able to score quite easily. But both defenses seemed to be able to adjust on the fly, as the quick scoring would come to a sudden halt.

The second and third quarters were nothing but a sloppily played game of “smear the queer”. (I feel like I need to mention that we played “smear the queer” when we were 9 years old, way before it would have had any homosexual connotation to us.)  <– Jp14 translation: “Calm the f**k down, it’s the name of a f**king game”

It seemed as though neither team could hold on to the ball, especially the Vikings who fumbled the ball 6 times, recovering only 3 of them. Reggie Bush muffed a punt for the only Saints turnover, but Peterson fumbled the ball right back soon thereafter. Peterson was actually involved in 3 different fumbles, while Brett Favre was being thrown around like beads at Mardi Gras as he added to the turnovers with 2 interceptions.

However, the second interception was obviously the most important. Favre was picked at the Saints 22 yard line with only 7 seconds left in regulation as the Vikings were trying to get in field goal range.

The Saints won the OT toss, as they did not waste any time, and Garrett Hartley kicked a 40 yard field goal to end Favre and the Vikings season.

This is the 2nd NFC Championship game in a row that Favre’s last throw was an interception. In 2007, against the Giants, his last pass was also an INT, which obviously is not the way that he wants to go out.

Let the Favre retirement talk begin…
