  • Favre consecutive start streak ends at one

    Wonder if there will be a commemorative football this time?

  • Favre tells Romo to play, and he listens

    So after breaking his hand, things did not look good for Tony Romo and the Cowboys.  Suddenly, news comes out that Brett Favre called Romo up and suggested he tried playing with the fracture.  Seemed like a silly story to fill the news wire, but maybe it had an impact afterall.  Now the word is…

  • McCarthy’s approval rating takes big dive with loss

    If you haven’t seen, ESPN.com lets fans vote on the job their coach is doing. Mike McCarthy received a 32% approval rating for week 5.  Not good, but well deserved.  The bad thing, is the logic many fans and reporters are using for the poor performance of the Packers.  Whenever I read articles about the…

  • Packers: 2008 vs. 2007

    After 3 straight losses, many Packers fans may be saying “what’s wrong?”  This team almost made the Super Bowl last year.  I’m sure many people will blame Rodgers.  Well, more specifically, the fact that he is NOT Brett Favre.  If Favre came back, this was supposed to be a championship team, right?  Well, I don’t…

  • Good riddance, Brett Favre!

    I don’t understand Favre going to the Jets.  I don’t think this makes the Jets a contender, even in their own division.  I don’t know if NY has something sneaky up their sleeves like trading Brett back to Minny, but at the moment it seems like Manginni is just really desperate to win and he’s…

  • More signs the Packers are serious about moving on

    In some of the best news I’ve heard since “Favre-gate” started, it was reported today (I believe Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal-Setinel first broke the news) that the Packers are shopping Favre around.  It’s likely a sign that the team is worried that Brett Favre might actually report to training camp.  Word is they…

  • Davis/Brand look like dopes, Favre owns a cell phone, Lauren fights with Heidi

    Well, the first night of Sabathia in Milwaukee was exciting, but nothing after his arrival was spectacular so it’s on to other things.  Looks like Elton Brand is going to be a 76er.  So much for him saying he wanted to put his pride aside to get a ring ala Boston.  Instead he has gone…

  • What if Robin got his shot?

    Batman and Robin.  Super hero, understudy.  Always has been that way, always will be.  Robin is always an afterthought compared to Batman, because Batman is Batman.  It has nothing to do with what Robin has done or hasn’t done.  In fact, unless you are the type of person who really studied the comics, you don’t…

  • Favre Comeback – Where do I begin?

    Not that it can possibly be a secret at this point, but the word is Brett Favre wants to come back and play again.  The Packers don’t want him, they don’t want to release him either.  They want him retired.  Sorry Brett, should’ve thought of this before you announced your retirement.  Bummer for Brett, but…

  • Madden 2009 Curse Could be Financial for Packers

    Favre on Madden 2009 Cover It’s reported that Favre will be on the cover of Madden 09.  Obviously the “curse” is a little different when it deals with a retired player.  So what’s the worst thing that could happen as a result of this cover?  Favre could keep playing.  That would mean the Packers would…
