Brett Favre has already sold us on his image of being a simple Southern boy. He’s the pitchman for Wrangler jeans and he’s hardly ever been caught wearing anything too fancy. The famous line about good ole number four is that he’d …
The big question leading up to Sunday’s game between the Packers and Vikings at Lambeau Field was how the fans would receive Brett Favre. We got a sense before the game because Favre was booed during warmups, but the most severe reaction from …
So right now I’m looking pretty bad for saying Favre had nothing left and that he was absolutely useless. I was expecting to see the Favre that stunk up the joint down the stretch with the Jets, preventing the team from making the playoffs, …
The Wildcat offense has swept its way through the NFL, all the way from Miami to apparently now Minnesota. One potential problem with the formation is that it often keeps quarterbacks on the field but split out as a receiver. On running plays, their …
Team legend switches franchises and goes to rival, fans get pissed off. You knew it was bound to happen. And how about Favre telling people to trust him that he’s not going to the Vikings to try and stick it to the Packers. Riiiight. Just like …
These teams must give the marketing departments the heads up on information before everyone else. How else can you explain the team site already having all kinds of Brett Favre Vikings jerseys and merchandise already up for sale? I think it was the …
So no we’re late in July with training camps closing in on us and Brett Favre still is chilling on his tractor in Mississippi. You figure at some point that he has to be signing with the Vikings in the near future, but before he does, he wants …
Holy ****. You have to be freaking kidding me. Brett Favre, who said after his year with the Jets that he was done, requested and received his release from the New York Jets Tuesday night. Favre previously was on their reserve/retired list, meaning …
Darn, I totally forgot. I guess that’s what happens when you blow your load once before. After all, you only get one funeral. Someone suggested stocking up on all the gear; it’s not a bad investment move considering it will be double the …
Not many people have been complimentary of Brett Favre since the Jets’ season went down the tubes courtesy of his three interception performance against the Dolphins in week 17. That capped off a 1-4 finish leaving the Jets at 9-7 despite …
So Thomas Jones came out and spoke the truth about Brett Favre last week, saying in so many words that Favre should have been benched for stinking up the joint and killing the team with all his interceptions. Can’t argue with that, especially …
So three more coaches were fired on Monday, further reinforcing the notion that there are two types of head coaches in the NFL: those who are fired and those who are going to be fired. Eric Mangini had a roller coaster ride going 10-6, 4-12, and now …
I understand the significance of injuries in the NFL and how much they can impact the play of athletes as much as anyone. I figured it was why Peyton Manning didn’t do too well his first couple weeks (he was recovering from knee surgery), and …
Look, holding the Packers hostage for about the past three years was pretty horrendous. Bitching that the organization didn’t pull off a trade for Randy Moss was not a good thing. Asking to come back and then demanding a trade is nuts. But …
It’s amazing what impact the words of a legendary quarterback can have. On Monday the news came out that Tony Romo’s broken digit would keep him out 4-5 weeks — enough time to seriously derail the Cowboys chances of a Super Bowl …
Now that Chad Pennington has signed with the Dolphins, the NFL television networks can wet themselves over an ideal storyline in week one: Brett Favre starting against Pennington for Chad’s former team. Moreover, both QBs will be in the exact …
