Lowering Expectations- or a Fake-out

Well, tomorrow starts the season in full. The Vikings play in the afternoon; the Packers in the evening.

Well, earlier in the week the new quarterback for the Vikings made some comments which could be an attempt to lower expectations so when he gets hurt, doesn't play or throws too many interceptions, no one will say he didn't warn them. At the top of the list for this player is the longevity streak of (so far) 269 straight starts. He said that he may not play in all 16 games in the regular season. He wouldn't let his desire to extend that streak to record levels get in the way of his team winning.

FYI, he will tie the all-time consecutive starts Sunday when he plays in game 270 and obviously break it the week after that.

He could also be just playing Mr. Humble and trying to be just one of the guys. Or perhaps he is just trying to psych out the opponents.

So, I leave this with two things:

1) Let the rivalry really begin... and
2) Brett who?
