I won’t even dive into the “should college football exist?” debate that is percolating in this space. Don’t worry. I’ll circle back to that hot button issue later in the week.

I’ll also discuss the latest on the stadium vote in Minnesota once we get more notes from the Senate (it passed the House).

But for now, I’m going high-tech renderings of the proposed complex in Los Angeles. The Farmers Field “eye in the sky” view is now available. Business owners and football fans are salivating about the potential of such an addition to the bright lights of Los Angeles.

Take a look at the Farmers Field Vision .

I don’t believe seeing Aaron Rodgers dancing around after the connections with Greg Jennings helped Childress’ cause.
Now, the question becomes: How long do you have to listen to the weekly monologues from Brett Favre? When will Tarvaris Jackson slide in under center?

I’ll table the madness for a minute and revisit this topic with a longer evaluation following the Monday night game between San Diego and Denver.

Let’s look at the one positive thing to come out of the game.

Sidney Rice returned to the field on Sunday and was targeted 10 times by Favre in the loss. He registered three receptions for 56 yards and narrowly missed breaking a long gain on a middle route early in the third quarter. Rice isn’t ready to dominate altogether, but he looked good in his route-running and had a burst off of the line.

That workload certainly puts Rice on the radar as a must-own (he’s still available in some leagues) and a must-start in the WR3 slot.

The Vikings moved the ball well. They played solid defense.

In the end, the Saints won in the only statistical category that matters in the NFL universe. The Vikings gave the ball up. Again … and again … and again.

Brett Favre’s interception brought back images of his last championship game and that “will he or won’t he?” talk started up .000001 seconds after Hartley’s field goal went through the uprights.

As Favre moved out of the pocket and threw back across his body, I had flashbacks to a memorable scene in “Natural Born Killers.” Yeah, that’s right. I’m busting out the ultra-violent film from the mid-90s.

For the uninitiated, there’s a scene in the film where Woody Harrelson is holding court and pacing back and forth. He’s telling a bawdy joke to the guards charged with containing his sociopathic Mickey Knox character in a holding cell. Knox is about to be interviewed by Wayne Gale (remember when nobody wanted Robert Downey, Jr.?). Anyway, he rolls through and has the guards chuckling when he approaches the big finish …

 “Little Johnny! What were you doing? Little Johnny … little Johnny, no!”

That’s where the similarities end, as Harrelson’s Knox grabs a shotgun and proceeds to shoot the guards. Well, perhaps it was almost the same. Favre fired his gun, but he misfired.

 Will he reload for another run? It’s way too early to tell, but my gut says that this wasn’t his last rodeo. Favre posted one of the finest regular seasons of his career and this entire unit will be back for another run. And Chilly is still there.

 You just can’t go down “acting like a fool with your pants on the ground.”
