Saints and Vikes-A rivalry in the making?

I am a little shocked the NFL has not jumped in and stopped the banter flying over the internet.


Darren Sharper and his infinite wisdom goes public saying Favre's injury will be a target in the future. X marks the spot.

Then a response: "That's all good," Shiancoe said. "But Sharper had surgery, too. And it was a knee. If 'X' marks the spot on Brett, I wonder what marks the spot on Sharper?"

Now they are taking shots at each other on twitter.

By the way, who is Visanthe Shiancoe? I thought people born in England were supposed to be above the ways of the impetuous of Darren Sharper.

A teammates response.
Right guard Anthony Herrera said "every team" targets injuries and said: "we'll handle that when the time comes." And in a preview of what promises to be a contentious run-up to the game, Herrera added:

"I'm happy that he feels that way. They did their thing in that game. They won. They're NFL champions. But when a team plays you and has [five] turnovers and still is in it in the last series of the game, I wouldn't open my mouth too much."

I would be fine with a rivalry. It goes back to the 80s when the Vikes creamed the Saints in 2 playoff games. It is evident Sharper has no love lost for the team after they derailed his career. As for the wining of the Vikes- they should shut up about how close they were-- Wins and losses. The Saints should get a little credit for getting the 5 to's. It is not like the vikes went on the field and gave the Saints the ball. I guess I fee a little arrogant giving the fact Childress is easy to outcoach.
