Favre to Retire

Vikings quarterback Brett Favre called a press conference today to announce his (third) retirement from football.  Favre cried a lot and said that finishing his career on a game in which his 2 interceptions and 1 fumble ended his team’s chance at a title was a fitting way to call it quits.  Immediately after his [...]

3 Beatdowns and a Little Baby (Keith Brooking)

Welcome to the weekend roundup.  Let’s jump right in.
Cardinals/Saints
Here’s all you need to know about this game:

Not the QB shootout I was hoping for.  The Cardinals couldn’t protect Warner, which kept him from getting the ball in the hands of his talented receivers. Meanwhile, Drew Brees and Reggie Bush put on a pretty good [...]

Loser of the Week – Jeremy Hawn

When you run a sports blog, one would assume that you know a thing or two about sports, and Jeremy Hawn is no exception to that assumption.  His knowledge of football is vast, his insight on players is bountiful, and his mustache is all too often the topic of conversation.  While most people are watching [...]

Eye Candy / Eye Rape

Welcome to another addition of Eye Candy / Eye Rape where I rate the NFL games this week in turms of their watchability.  Let’s get going:

I’m in Chicago this week for the Jewish holiday’s and my 10 year high school reunion, which should be really interesting when I tell them that I do THIS with my life now.  I just got off the phone with my grandmother making plans to pick her up tomorrow for morning services, and was reminded [...]

honor of the start of a new NFL season, I feel obligated to offer some completely random and poorly thought out [...]

Brittle Old Man to Start for Vikings

Breaking news!  Brett Favre has a broken rib.  Get it?  “Breaking” news.  I fucking kill me.  Brett Favre has told Vikings’ staff that he has trouble taking deep breaths and that he likely has a broken rib.  Early reports state that the rib snapped off of the rest of Favre’s rib cage in an attempt [...]

Hey Brett Favre: Nobody Likes You!

Holy shit.  I revel in bad news about Brett Favre more than almost anyone on the planet, but I don’t think you have to hate the guy to appreciate this.  Here’s a quote from ESPN this morning:
“What two knowledgeable NFL people described earlier this week as an ‘issue’ in the Minnesota Vikings locker room was [...]

Football Addict Gets His Next Fix

Brett Favre has changed his mind for the 15th time, and has accepted a contract with the Vikings. “But wait,” you say, “I thought he had decided once and for all to stay retired and live in bumblefuck Mississippi.”  Well, dear reader, you clearly underestimated Brett Favre’s drive to compete, his need to feed his [...]
