ESPN's Jon Gruden Is Jealous Of Vikings Coach Brad Childress?

Brett Favre makes the Vikings "for real," former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden said on ESPN tonight. "I'm jealous, to be honest with you," said Gruden, an NFL analyst who was a Green Bay Packers assistant from 1992 to 1994. Gruden said he tried to get Favre in Tampa, although he didn't elaborate on that point. "This guy bring so much to a football team. Not only hope, talent, history and all that stuff," Gruden said. "He's going to play in perfect conditions. He's going to play eight home games in a dome. "He'll bring so much life to that organization. The Minnesota Vikings are for real now." Interestingly, his colleague Ron Jaworski went a step further. "They are the team to beat in the NFC, with the acquisition of Brett Favre," Jaworksi said. "They are now a complete team."

Firstly I gotta say that the more I see Gruden on TV the less I like him. And second he and Jaws were all over this Favre shit because (I think) it gives half assed lame-o pundits like Gruden an easy softball story to blab about and get his face on TV. Chris Carter has been the only one I've seen to this point who has seemed at all 'real' in his take on the Favre story and for that I gained alot of respect for him.

first off Gruden is a moron. He loves every player and thinks that every player on every team is a super person. He is a joke of an analyst, in the panthers game, he said tom coughlin leads the league in grit and john fox leads the league in effort. he is a blowhard.

second, gruden obviously does not know favre's history playing in a dome. Many of his worst games came playing in a dome.

Favre's last playoff games 3-6 in his last 9 playoff games.

Favre's career QB rating in late in games that are close - 69.1, He led the league in interceptions just last year. In 129 games that were close and it was late in the game dude is 57% completion with 32 TD's and 43 int's.

Just because he has played for a million years and thrown a ton of TD's puts this guy on a pedastal that I just don't think is as deserving as some just hand over to him. Maybe that is also due to most times I saw him play the Eagles he absolutely blew. 60 career rating against the Eagles with the most Int's by a team not in the Packers division. (16)

Elway may have a horse's face, but Favre is a horses ass.
