FRAN TARKENTON A STOIC HERO TO THE HOPELESS AND DOWNTRODDEN. In a radio interview, the Hall of Fame scrambler of legend called Brittfar’s three-ring retirement circus “despicable” and that he hopes Favre signs with the Vikings “so he can fail”. He also goes on to note that Brett has made more stupid plays than any other QB ever. Well, Fran, I hope you know some other baron you can acquire land from because you’re about to blackballed by this one. [Sports Radio Interviews via tWWL]

Fran Tarkenton hates Brett Farve? That’s Incredible!

I predict that before too long, Tarkenton’s dead body will be found in a ditch. Cause of death? Suffocation, from the 50 warm Kit-Kats stuffed down his throat.

True words. Lofty words.

“Brett Favre could never hope to lose as many Super Bowls as I did.”

Fran Tarkenton was Jim Kelly before Jim Kelly was.

Whoo. Fran just jumped to the top of my Favorite QBs Named After Girls list.

I knew there was a reason I liked that little fucker!

@ Otto Man
First “That’s Incredible!” reference of the day. Nice. I liked how it was from a Milwaukee station. I’d always had you pegged as a “Real People” kind of guy.
May 27th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
Oh yeah- FUCK YOU, BRETT FAVRE.
May 27th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
@Otto & Gino
Thanks for throwing me into the Way Back Machine and breaking the handle. John Davidson will be in my nightmares tonight.
/Needs mouth eyes to complete the horror.

Skip Stevenson thinks Favre’s an asshole.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:05 pm
I’d always had you pegged as a “Real People” kind of guy.
And you would be correct. Peter Billingsly and Fred Williard? Fuck and yes.
Speaking of which, I got home really late last week after a night of debauchery, flipped on the TV and came across a talk show hosted by Byron Allen. I actually said out loud, “Byron Allen’s on TV? Fuck me, just how late is it?”

Fran Tarkenton is still alive?
Per Wikipedia, his actual given name is “Francis.” Guess he got tired of hearing “Lighten up, Francis.”
May 27th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Maybe it was his father calling him ‘Barbara’ all the time that bother him.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Fran’s just pissed because Favre broke his interception record.
May 27th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Fran Tarkenton, “That’s Incredible”, John Davidson, “Real People”, Skip Stevenson, Byron Allen and Peter “Messy Marvin” Billingsley have all come up here on the subject of Brett Favre. Holy shit, I feel that old age comin’ on.
/would still do the Hustle with Cathy Lee Crosby

Peter “Messy Marvin” Billingsley
Thank you. For me, he will always be Messy Marvin, not the other kid in that awful movie that’s actually not very good, but has attained iconic status for reasons that are still unclear.
May 27th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
I liked Peter Billingsley in “Russkies”. That movie taught us that Russians, while a slovenly, objectionable people, are humans, too.
As for Messy Marvin:

Whip Hubely thinks Favre is a self-centered prick.

Farve Blows…and when I say blows.. I mean takes painkillers cause he’s a cheat.

Wow, Fran has caused quite the shitstorm with his comments. Wait until Ape hears that Tarkenton also called out the 70s Steelers for being on steroids.
