So, occasionally when I make some bold pre-season prediction, it will come out to be.. well, not as true as it could have been. Ok, I admit it. I was wrong. Yes folks, it does happen from time to time, and let no one say your friendly neighborhood blogger is afraid to eat some crow.

This week, I’m afraid I owe Vikings head coach Brad Childress and a certain quasi-retired quarterback an apology. I was very astute in pointing out that Favre was obviously over the hill, not even close to being worth the $12 million dollars he would be earning this year, and for all intents and purposes was embodying everything sportsmanship and football was against. Ok, I still believe a lot of that stuff, but I certainly take back a lot of my venom, and it’s time to amend a little bit of my season prediction. Favre’s last minute game winning chuck against San Fran showed more arm and guts than I thought him capable of at this stage of his career.

Originally, I picked the Vikes to finish sub-.500. Obviously, at 3-0 this is looking kind of unlikely. I now pick them to finish on the sunny side, and possibly get a wild card berth. However, they will be one and done in the playoffs, and next year, will be in the market for a new head coach and quarterback. Here’s to hoping I don’t have to apologize for that one as well.

Now, just saying is all…

…but is there any starting quarterback in the league worse than Jake Delhomme? I’m not counting JaMarcus Russel or Brady Quinn, because I firmly feel their days are numbered, however, the Jake Delhomme era doesn’t seem to have an end in sight, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why.

Isn’t week three a little early to pull the plug on a quarterback you signed in the off season? Granted, Byron looked awful against the Giants, but his two games before that really weren’t that bad, and it’s not like he’s loaded with weapons.

Who gets the first overall draft pick, Cleveland or Washington?
