BRETT FAVRE STREAK IS OVER!

After starting 297 consecutive games, Brett Favre’s streak as a starting quaterback is over. It has been the longest streak in NFL history. Last week, Favre sprained the SC joint in his right shoulder in a game against the Buffalo Bills. Instead, Vikings backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson will get the start. Favre had an extra day to rest, after the Minnesota Vikings- NY Giants game was postponed after the Metrodone collapsed due to snow. The game will be played tonight at Detroit’s Ford Field. Although Favre made the trip to Detroit, he is list as inactive for the matchup. The last time Brett Favre did not start an NFL football game was in 1992. The legendary quarterback in the midst of a text message scandal was drafted in 1991. Be careful Jenn… Favre is going to have some extra time on his hands!

Snow delays NY Giants plane, Giants-Vikings game postponed till Monday

The New York Giants-Minnesota Vikings game has been postponed until tomorrow due to excessive snow in the Twin Cities. Strong winds and an expected two feet of snow has created unsafe conditions for the roof of the Viking’s Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.

The Vikings-Giants game will be aired on Fox and will go up against Monday Night Football’ Baltimore Ravens- Houston Texans matchup on ESPN.

The postponement of the game comes as a relief to Giants players who were stranded in Kansas City until this morning. The Giants’ plane could not land in Minneapolis because of snow conditions. The team was preparing to do their pre-game walk through in the airplane hanger of the Kansas City airport.
