Earlier this week, we poked some fun at Vikings coach Brad Childress' handling of quarterback Brett Favre's injured groin.But unless this is another exercise by Favre in setting up advance excuses for subpar performances, it's not a laughing matter.Then again,...

When we last left noted football learner Peter King, he was eagerly discussing the constant, bulbous throbbing of Brett Favre’s groin. Could that groin injury do Favre in, right in the middle of such a great season? I don’t know. If you touch Favre’s throbbing groin, does a magic baby pop [...]

The one guy we were neglecting so far was Minnesota’s Percy Harvin, who has slowly and quietly started to put up numbers and become a favorite target of Brett Favre. This is a guy Brad Childress took a big gamble on that so far is paying off. But Byrd and Laurinaitis are holding [...]

In a matter of two weeks, the Green Bay Packers have been beaten by an old man and a child.
Last week, 40-year-old Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre completed 17 of 28 passes for 244 yards and four touchdowns in a 38-26 victory over the Packers.
BRETT FAVRE WILL BE BACK: In a kind of surprising move, Brett Favre informed the Packers that he will be back next season. All signs pointed to him walking into the sunset after a brutal 2005 season. But, Favre will make one last go around [at least] much to the delight of Packer fans. I guess the Aaron Rogers era won't begin just yet.

Be honest, did you expect Brett Favre, Kyle Orton, or Matt Schaub to be potential MVP candidates? It seems there are a number of players surprising us week in and week out in the NFL. SC's Andrew Jones examines the MVP watch list.
What a weekend this was...and not just because my Redskins clinched their first playoff berth since 1999. It was one of the most emotional days I've seen in quite some time. You had:*Tony Dungy's emotional return to the Colts sideline after burying his 18-yr old son earlier in the week. *Dick Vermeil hugging everyone on the Chiefs sideline as his career came to an end...

Remember the Vikings-Packers game last Sunday? Of course you do. It was former Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre’s much-anticipated return to Lambeau Field, wearing the uniform of the arch rival Vikings. The stage was set for an incredible game. And it did turn out to be a good one, with the Vikes winning 38-26.
Well, as expected, a lot of people watched on Fox—29.8 million...

Despite two losses to Brett Favre and the division rival Minnesota Vikings in the first half of the season, at least the Green Bay Packers were beating the teams they're supposed to.
A facinating development is going on in the NFL. With job openings all over the place....teams aren't going after those big names to fill them. It's those guys who work for the big named coaches that are getting the jobs.
There are SEVEN jobs filled....and only ONE of those jobs was by a guy with prior head coaching experience. That was Herm Edwards, who left the Jets...

As you can tell by the title, I have already assumed the coaching staff will be axed. In reality, we are probably stuck with this head coach for at least one full year, likely two before the Packers actually do something about it.I have been complaining about the coaching since the Cincinnati game and the same problems keep coming up, bad special teams, penalties, sacks, ugh. If...
