So I know what you’re thinking, who the hell is Tarvaris Jackson?! He is the guy that Brett Favre tortured for almost the entire NFL offseason. Would he be getting another shot at Minnesota’s quarterback job? Today Tarvaris got his answer and Brett Favre officially decided to stay retired. Favre thought his body was just too old to play an entire season. I must say I’m really surprised at this decision, but probably not more surprised than Tarvaris was.
Tarvaris has a spotty performance record to say the least. In the 2008 season, he started two games before being benched. Due to an injury, he started again in week 14 and actually played really well for the rest of the season. The playoffs were a different story and they lost in the first round to Philly. Tarvaris looked terrible in that game! My mother is a Philly fan and I actually still remember it.
So thanks to Brett’s indecision, the Vikings didn’t make any significant moves to get a better quarterback in the offseason and might be stuck with Tarvaris (and a hope and a prayer). I say “might”, because there is little doubt Tarvaris will have to fight for his job again, but this time against Sage Rosenfels. Sage offers Minnesota a less strong, but more accurate option. Hard to say who wins this one, but who doesn’t love a good fight?!
Fighting is fun to watch, but it isn’t fun to be a part of it. I’ve heard the popular argument, but I will take happy sex over make-up sex any day. Once in a fight, some men are tempted to use gifts to try to end the quarrel. My gift tip here is super simple. Don’t freakin do this! Gifts should be to celebrate what you have and not a ploy to alter emotions. If a heartfelt apology isn’t enough then fix it with your actions (and not your wallet). Don’t get me wrong, women will absolutely take your gift. However, you will get more bang for your buck if you give it on another occasion (and the same applies to giving make-up flowers). SAVE YOUR MONEY! You’re the quarterback; I’m just here to protect you.
QUESTION: Without looking back, how many times did I write Tarvaris’s name?
