Mark Chmura is not impressed
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 by stuntdogBrett Favre’s assertion that the 2009 Vikings are a better team than the 1996 Packers has raised the ire of several people who played on that team. Tight end Mark Chmura doesn’t even attempt a diplomatic tone:
They have Adrian Peterson, but I think Chester Taylor is a guy. We had Dorsey (Levens) and Edgar, that’s pretty good balance. Our tight ends were clearly better (laughs). I may be biased. But seriously, sure America saw his [penis] on TV, but how many teenagers has Visanthe (Shiancoe) raped? How many child enticements has (Jim) Kleinsasser successfully blamed on an ill-fitting swimsuit? Come on, those guys can’t hold a candle to us.
Chmura has a point. When it comes to sexual assault of juveniles, the 2009 Vikings aren’t even in the same league as the 1996 Packers. In fact, if we broaden our scope to consider garden-variety domestic abuse, the 2009 Vikings can’t even touch the 2009 Packers, whose recent signing of three-time NFL wifebeating champ Ahman Green puts them in serious contention for the 2009 battering title.
