Say what you will about the morality issues tied in with Mike Vick's return to the NFL, but perhaps it is another QB who's return was much-discussed about whom we should be worrying the most.

Brett Favre mania is kicking up a few storms in the hobby, and a situation like the Threads card auction doesn’t surprise me one bit. Mario reported that the first auction is over and the card has sold for over eighty dollars. This is top dollar for a card that has 4,000+ copies, has no auto, no relic, and no serial numbering.

Unfortunately, the NFL is more of a business than sports entertainment. Home-town heroes often jump ship with another ball club for better opportunities and a larger paycheck. At the same time, the higher-ups of each team will turn their back on loyal players to make room for the young stars of the game.
There was no surprise in my mind when the Packers' general manager, Ted...

While the NFL pretends to be a silent observer, they’re wildly cheering the returns of Brett Favre and Michael Vick. I assume that the two returning stars have increased television ratings. Similarly, both men have had their jerseys crack the top 5 in sales. The [...]

Knock us all over with not surprise, but Minnesota is quietly shopping Tavaris Jackson. With cutdown day looming, and Minnesota heavy by one at quarterback thanks to the arrival of Brett Favre, I would imagine that Jackson’s value is worth slightly less than belly button lint.
But, sure, make your calls Minnesota.
At some point, though, [...]
