Videos: Brett Favre Is Owned and Al Michaels Gambling Moment

The return of Brett Favre last night was everything that was expected. A ton of Favre talk with both Andrea Kramer and Al Michaels holding separate interviews with Favre. What was not expected was the 49ers pulling a double barrel blitz on Favre. In Favre's only series of the game Patrick Willis and Takeo Spikes owned Favre on a blitz implanting him into the ground and ending Favre's day. The national cheer everyone heard around 5:25 PM Pacific time zone was everyone cheering Willis and Spikes for sacking Favre.



The funniest moment of the game (besides Favre getting owned) happened on the very last play of the game. Vikings quarterback Joe Webb was sacked in the end zone for a safety to end the game with the score of San Francisco 15 Minnesota 10. That's important to remember because the Niners were favorites by 3.5 over the Vikings. 

Al Michaels, who hasn't shied away from discreetly talking about point spreads on the games he's calling,  discreetly talked about the betting line after Webb was sacked for the safety giving the Niners a 5-point victory. Only Michaels would drive a stake into the hearts of degenerate gamblers who gamble on preseason games.
