Brett Favre makes this game historic. We will be talking about this game for decades. I've been waiting for this game for weeks. Feel free to discuss the game with me on this forum.
FYI: I am trying to three private fantasy baseball leagues on espn.com. There will be a fee to participate in the leagues. Last year I purchased three teams for approximately $50. I think you can buy one team for approximately $25. ESPN has not released prices for 2010. If you are interested in being in a fantasy baseball league with drawmules please provide an email address. I will create a forum thread about this after espn releases prices. The drafts will likely take place in March. I will proably participate in three private leagues. Therefore, I am looking for approximately 27 other participants. I would love to see knowledgeable baseball fans, local baseball coaches and local sports writers participate.
The Vikings score first. Any thoughts? LOL I know we have some semoball.com fans watching this game.

Hey Rachel Crader are you watching this game? I'm not going to hide the fact football is not my favorite sport. We all know my favorite sports are volleyball, baseball, golf and basketball. However, I really am excited about this game. I think it could be an ESPN Instant Classic.
Crader are there plans to do anything special for the Super Bowl on semoball? I liked what you did during St. Louis Cardinals playoff games.

It didn't take the Saints long to tie the game. Any thoughts?
How many points will each team score in this game? Do you think both teams will score 30+?
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 6:03 PM
Two 10 play drives for touchdowns to start the game for Minnesota. Any thoughts?
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 6:19 PM
The game is tied at 14? Does anyone think the game will be tied at halftime?
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 6:51 PM
The muffed punt by New Orleans could be the difference in the game. Anyt thoughts?
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 7:09 PM
The fumble by Favre could be the difference in the game. Any thoughts?
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 7:12 PM
The announcers just made a great point. "The team that scores the most in the second half will win."
Does anyone disagree?
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 7:20 PM
New Orleans takes a 21-14 lead. It is New Orleans first lead of the game.
Does anyone thing this could be Brett Favre's last game?
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 7:31 PM
I sure hope the TV ratings are better than the semoball.com ratings for this game.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 7:35 PM
Favre is getting beat up really bad. Can he finish the game?
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 7:58 PM
Favre has not been sacked in the game. Favre has been hit 11 times, however. The medical trainers are tapping Favre's leg up like it a package they are fixing to drop off at UPS.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:04 PM
One quarter to play and the legendary Brett Favre is back again. 21-21 15 minutes remaining.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:06 PM
The Vikings fumble the ball yet again and the Saints recover. 14 minutes remaining.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:07 PM
A huge call. The offical rules New Orleans did not make it into the endzone on third done. The Saints challenge the play. I predict the Saints will win the challenge and take a 28-21 lead.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:10 PM
Call overturned. Touchdown Saints. 28-21 New Orleans with 12:39 remaining.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:13 PM
This could be the last Brett Favre drive ever. History in the making! Any thoughts?
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:16 PM
Petterson's longest run of the season for the Vikings. He just carried the ball 27 yards to the 50.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:19 PM
Vikings fumble the ball yet again. The fourth Viking turnover of the game.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:21 PM
The Saints are unable to get a first down. The Saints challenge the play. "I don't think there is anyways the Saints got enought for a first down," Joe Buck says. I agree.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:25 PM
The ruling on the field stands. "That really wasn't all that close," Joe Buck says. "Now not only does New Orleans lose a timeout, they are also out of challenges."
One more chance for Brett Favre to send the game to overtime. Does he have anything left?
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:27 PM
Favre is on the ground again. I feel like I am watching a Rocky movie. I am going to start the song "Eye of a Tiger" on my laptop.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:32 PM
Pass interference on the Saints in the endzone. That means the Vikings get the ball at the one yard line.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:34 PM
Minnesota has tied the game at 28 with 4:58 remaining.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:35 PM
"How about this script with Bret Favre heading to the field in a tie game with 2:37 left," Joe Buck says.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:42 PM
We have reached the most unnecessary stoppage of play in professional sports, THE TWO MINUTES WARNING.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:44 PM
TWO MINUTE WARNING
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:45 PM
Porter missed a huge tack on Berrian to allow the Vikings to advance the ball far enough for the first down with 1:39 remaining.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:48 PM
"We play in a postseason that has been rough on kickers," Joe Buck says. "Percentage is down below 60 percent for kickers."
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:50 PM
12 man in the huddle on Vikings moves them out of field goal range with 19 seconds remaining. THROW THE BALL FAVRE THROW THE BALL.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:52 PM
Favrew throwns the ball for an interception with 8 seconds remaining. If he would have kept running he would have been in field goal range.
"Huge mistake," Joe Buck says. "Brett Favre with two interceptions in the game."
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:54 PM
Several typos in that last message. OVERTIME. I love OVERTIME.
Troy Aikman thinks Favre's decision to throw the ball instead of keep it and run it is one of the biggest mistakes of his career. Any thoughts?
The Saints get the ball first. Is it fair for Favre to not get a chance to win what could be his final game? . . . . The Vikings may never get the ball
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:57 PM
The Saints begin the drive with a 40 yard kickoff return.
Favre looks like he is about to cry on the sidelines.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 8:59 PM
"This is one Favre may regret for the rest of his life if the Vikings don't some how overcome this," says Joe Buck.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:00 PM
Wow. Two runs for 4 yards.
"The crowd is groaning . . ." Joe Buck says.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:02 PM
Holding penalty gives the Saints a first down.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:02 PM
4th & inches for the Saints at the 42. Will they go for it?
We have a challenge regarding the spot of the football.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:06 PM
The officals do not overturn the challenge. 4th down.
The Saints have struggled to convert from this distance on 3rd and 4th down today," Troy Aikman says.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:08 PM
First down Saints.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:09 PM
The officals will review the play. Wow the replay shows the Saints fumbled the ball. I'm not sure they got the first down. Any thoughts?
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:10 PM
The ruling on the field stands. We will be talking about this call tommorow I think.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:11 PM
Pass interference by the Vikings. The Saints should be in field goal range near the 30.
"I think you could make a strong case that ball was uncatchable," Joe Buck says.
A loss of four on the next play moves the Saints back to the 35.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:13 PM
Saints have a first down. Vikings call a timeout. I think they are hoping there will be a booth review for the play. It looked like the ball may have hit the ground first.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:15 PM
I think he caught it. But it is still close enough to review.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:16 PM
The ruling on the field stands. It is a catch.
You are talking about a 40 yard field goal kick from this spot," Joe Buck says.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:17 PM
"Here comes the moment Garrett Hartley has always dreamed of" Joe Buck says.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:18 PM
"Hartley sends the Saints to the Super Bowl," Joe Buck says.
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:19 PM
"He's a hero," Joe Buck says.
New Orleans defeats Minnesota 31-28 in overtime.
Any thoughts?
-- Posted by drawmules on Sun, Jan 24, 2010, at 9:22 PM
Favre choked big time!!! And btw, he had a chance to win the game at the end of regulation and blew it. He didn't deserve another chance.
