Vikings counterattacked on Saints safety’s trash talk

After Brett Favre had a surgery to repair his injured ankle last week, New Orleans Saints safety Darren Sharper made some trash talks on Favre’s ankle, saying that it would be the Saints’ attacking target again in 2010 season. Such comments surely made some Minnesota Vikings players uncomfortable and they volunteered to counterattack on Sharper using the same tool with him, the Twitter.

The first response was made by Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe, who told reporters that Sharper also had surgery on his knee and the Vikings would also take it as attacking target. Sharper reacted soon, challenging Shiancoe to a bet in season opener on which team would make the first attack. While the tight end did not respond, his teammate, tackle Bryant McKinnie tweeted to Sharper that the Vikings offense would make Sharper regret for what he said now.

However, we should better not to take their disputes seriously, as Sharper, a former Vikings, had a friendly relationship with Shiancoe and McKinnie during the time he was wearing Minnesota Vikings jersey. Besides, although he left the Vikings before Favre arrived, he used to work with the quarterback for quite a long time in Green Bay Packers. Staying with the Packers from 1997 to 2005, Sharper had eight years spent with Favre, who spent 16 seasons with the Packers from 1992 to 2008.
