Least joy-inspiring viking since Brett Favre?

I hate Brett Favre. I'm a Bears fan, so he's given me multiple reasons to hate him, beyond his rampant douchebaggery, which should really inspire the ire of any and all who hear of him. This really could go on to a full, one billion word epic rant on how much I loathe and despise the basterdly bastard, but here's my pictorial demonstration of that rant:

And I'm done. I bring all of this up, not because Favre is making a triumphant return to the stage but because of clever wordplay. See, Variety is reporting that Leonardo DiCaprio is starring in an untitled Viking movie. While this likely isn't the cinematic retelling of the Minnesota football team's repeated, repeated, repeated, repeated attempts to win a super bowl while failing, but I can't be sure. Oh, did I mention that Mel Gibson is directing? Because he is. Also, the film is written by William Monaghan, who also wrote The Departed....so maybe DiCaprio will get to say "What do you want them to do? Chop me up and feed me to the poor?" again. It would work in a viking context. I know DiCaprio is a talented actor, and I'm not doubting his abilities, but...if you buy that dude as a warrior, you probably also buy that Favre was seriously considering his options during the summer and not weaseling out of training camp. It all comes back to my seething hatred of that man, doesn't it?
