Here's another point, you know the league wants Green Bay / Minny in the NFCC and they definitely want Favre back in the big game.  Look for the Vikings to get all the calls.

Look for the Vikes to get all the calls on their bye week?  Do you mean look for the Packers to get all the calls since they're playing at least one game before a potential rematch?     Damnit Rob, think through the post then write the post.

Do you have a point or are you just slow? 

Sure I have a point, stat-geek.  Favre, at age 40, is a top 10 QB in the NFL, and probably should be the MVP of the league.  That's the point.

They're called facts, Robby.  You should try using the once in a while as they're a lot more reliable than just spouting off crap that doesn't make sense.  For example, how do you rate Favre as only a top 10 QB in the NFL, but think he should be the MVP of the league?  Shouldn't an MVP candidate a little better than top ten at his position?   Favre's had amazing year - best year of his career in fact.  I just said he doesn't play well in December since there's obvious evidence to support it. 

All that said, I think there are better MVP candidates this year:

#1 - Chris Johnson: 11 games with over 100 yards, 2500 total yards, double digit scores.  He's easily the top RB in the league and getting it done with lowly V. Young at the helm.  The only guy shouldering this much of the load for his team is...

#2 - Peyton Manning: Consistently proving that he is the top QB in the league.  He's a threat to score from anywhere on the field and is arguably one of the smartest QBs in history.  Indy clinched top seed early and might have gone undefeated if they hadn't benched Manning.  We saw Indy without Manning the past few weeks and it was not pretty.

#3 - D. Brees threw for 34 TDs (+2 rushing) and almost 4400 yards and didn't even play the whole season.  He is constantly overlooked, but I think he's just about on par with Manning at this point in terms of what he means to the Saints

#4 - I will get a major homer boo for this one and I know it won't happen, but I'll put up A. Rodgers in my top five.  The Packers offensive line stunk for most of the year, Jennings was awful, and outside of the past few weeks, Ryan Grant has barely put up top 20 rushing numbers.  Despite all that. Rodgers has 30 TDs (+ FIVE rushing!), threw for over 4400 yards and is tied with Favre for fewest interceptions among full year starters.  And he's played to the bitter end in every game unlike the other top QB choices.

#5 - This is about where I would slot Favre.  33 TDs, 4200 yards, only 7 INTs - he has had a great season.  My only push back on Favre is that he has tons of talent supporting him:  Very solid offensive line, Shianco and his WRs made some outstanding catches, he's got one of the league's top RBs causing havoc for defenses, and the Vikings defense has been top notch most of the season.  There is some magic to Favre, but I'm not convinced that the Vikes would be doing much worse with someone else in there. 

Wow, most of the stores I've been stopping by still have a complete set or two.  I haven't noticed any of them selling better than the rest - seems like they're all sitting.  Also noticed that the WM DF sets have made a come back, but still at the $17 full price.   

What a crappy slate of games yesterday. . .

Yeah, nice that we'll get to see a bunch of the exact same games this coming weekend. 

Nope the soul patch is just under the lower lip but above the chin.  Doc Ock's is on the chin, therefore making it part of a goatee.

I was actually just joking with Brent.  The technical name for that style is the "Petit Goatee."  Maybe it's an evil-black band-aid leftover from a Spiderman uppercut. 

Banthaskull.com got wind of some new Target DPCI numbers. At least a couple of these will spark some decent discussion. I can't wait to see that R/C Hailfire Droid.

Hmnn - some very interesting stuff in that list.  Return to the Vintage line will be great and I'm shocked at the price point.  I wonder if they are finally rereleasing the old vintage molds?

I'm very interested in "super deluxe vehicle." Does this mean an entire LINE of vehicles like the AT-TE, Turbo Tank, etc.? 

I think it implies at least two vehicles since they didn't actually name the vehicle, but remains to be seen how many they would produce.

What's with the dirt on Doc Ock's chin?

That is a soul patch.  They haven't been invented yet in Canada.

Has anybody heard of the movie Legion before?  I saw a commercial for it just tonight and looks pretty fun.  The general plot has been done before and the concept that God would send angels (in the form of demons?) to wipe out mankind is pretty silly, but looks like a lot of fun sci-fi/horror fighting at least.
