Buy or Sell: Wednesday, Oct. 7th, 2009

'Buy or Sell' is an age old forum technique to spark discussion on a number of topics and I've decided to try to bring the concept to Bleacher Report. I want people to buy or sell certain topics that I bring up.

Since comments appear at the bottom of every slide, it is necessary for the posters to first copy and paste the title of the slide that they are buying or selling as this whole concept is useless if we don't know what you are talking about.

I will post a new buy or sell each week if this is a success.

Thank you in advance for reading and participating.

BUY OR SELL: Vikings are the most complete team in the NFL

Personally, I am glad that Brett Favre decided to come back, again. I love his attitude on the field and I love his gunslinger mentality and feel that he is the last "blue chip" QB in the league. If he decided to play another season after this I would be the first to support him (like he cares).

But there is something wrong about seeing him in that Minnesota Vikings' purple. But what can you do? It really does nothing but make the whole Favre story more interesting.

What I want to know is how many people feel that the Vikings are the most complete team in the NFL. They have the defense that wins championships - they have the all-pro running back - their o-line ranks in the top of the NFL. Brett Favre was supposed to come in and be a game manager. Think again.

Favre is running this offense the only way he knows how - like he is 25 years old and got something to prove. And, I suppose, he does have something to prove: that he can still win the big one. He has his team at 4-0 and has really impressed with his 8-1 TD to INT ratio. His passer rating stands at an impressive 104.6 and he has thrown for 837 yards.

If you look at the rest of the teams stats, here: http://www.vikings.com/team/statistics.html , you'll see that the Vikings are outplaying their opponents in practically every phase of the game.

So what say you? Buy or sell: Are the Vikes the most complete team in the NFL?

BUY OR SELL: Crabtree signing will propel the 49ers' offense to the next level

Everyone knows the Michael Crabtree holdout story. The most insane part of this is that nobody is blaming the Oakland Raiders. They're the ones that screwed everything up by selecting Darrius Heyward-Bey as the first WR taken in the 2009 NFL Draft. O.K., you can argue that teams have a right to take whomever they please in the draft.

Heyward-Bey has 2 receptions for 36 yards in 4 games. Yes, the Oakland Raiders have a pretty anemic offense, but nevertheless, Heyward-Bey has made a minimal contribution.

Everything has worked out, though months later than everyone expected. The 49ers have their first round draft pick and look to improve their early success with Crabtree signed to the roster.

So, do you buy or sell the fact that Michael Crabtree will propel the 49ers offense to the next level?

BUY OR SELL: Braylon Edwards' departure from the Browns influenced by altercation with King James

Everyone knows that LeBron James is the king of Cleveland. Everyone except Braylon Edwards and company, apparently. The alleged fight between Edwards and LeBron's friend indicates that Edwards either doesn't know how big James is in Cleveland, or that he just doesn't care.

Braylon Edwards was traded to the New York Jets just days after the alleged fight. Was the fight the reasoning behind this move by the Browns, or was it Edwards' steady decline on the football feild?

Buy or sell: Braylon Edwards' departure from the Browns influenced by altercation with King James.

BUY OR SELL: Twins have no shot against the Yankees

The Twins seem to be as unlikely a candidate to take down the Yankees as anyone. Just a week ago the Twins were 3 games back in the race for 1st in their division, and yet they today they find themselves looking to take down the Yankees in the first round of the MLB Playoffs.

Will the Yanks demolish the Twins, or is there a true David vs Goliath story about to unfold in baseball?
