i'm pretty sure i saw the same game you did last night, and i don't draw the same conclusion that the saints must have been playing dirty to get that many hits on favre. remember that "hit" doesn't necessarily mean "knock on his ass by smacking him with your helmet", it can be as benign as giving him a shove the second after he releases the ball. this is where i think your emotions are running away with your analysis, because you seem to be equating "hit" with "knocked out" or at the very least "tackled unnecessarily", when in reality it was just a well played game by the saints defensive front.
and... if you don't believe all those hits didn't affect the game, then we *definitely* weren't watching the same game. because the entire game plan was to come after favre fast and hard and make him rush his throws. after all, we all know favre's history when he has pressure and makes snap decisions
this was just a great game plan by the saints and in no way reflects any intended animosity on their part, no matter how you try to spin things to your liking.

Yeah, too bad the Vikings don't have someone like Rodgers waiting in the wings.

Wait, are you saying Tarvaris Jackson isn't going to be a good, star QB some day?

Flagged at least once, and I still think he was driven that other play, though it's open to debate.

um.... you do realize that it's possible to hit a QB without it being illegal right?

When I hear it often I usually hear "sacked for a 7 yd loss" at some point.

Actually, I'm not sure what you mean; it was intended as a pure hypothetical.
