Poor kid, sounds like a tough life, only one shirt for nearly 5 years, and having to wear that #4 is cruel and unusual punishment.

He is now sporting around in a brand new Tarvaris Jackson jersey, and the rain cloud that had been suspectly following him around for all that time suddenly dispersed.

Lets do some simple arithmatic here vikings fans...

Brett Favre has 1 superbowl title with the Packers, and the Vikings have ZERO. NONE. So lets stop bashing the kid, and if you think Tarvaris Jackson will ever amount to anything you need to actually start watching the games.

40for60:Where have you been? Are you actually taking time off of watching paint dry and Chilly telling you about the "system" to try and dis some kids idol. Brett Favre, Super Bowl Champion, 3-time MVP, Green Bay Packer, Hero, Brett Favre (queue Randolph Scott music here).

If I were you, I'd trade in that Tarvaris Jackson jersey for a can of Dinty Moore Stew and some Booty to be named later.

...and leave the kid alone, that's the kind of crap we hear from Bears fans.

This is about a child not the infamous drug using, alcohol abusing, steroid using, womanizing, sleezy boat partying Vikings. This kid has pride in his shirt and what it represents to HIM. It's not about the Vikings. Get over yourselves Vikings fanatics........not everything is about you.

I have to give the kid credit, most kids his age don't stick with anything, and he stuck with 1 jersey for 5years. and if he gets a new jersey and he picks a vicking one it should be Jared Allen #69.
