Apparently it's big news that Eric Mangini reminded Brett Favre today at practice, that despite his Hall of Fame resume, he's just one of the guys.

Aaron Rodgers Spotted in Numerous Compromising Photos - Must See
After last night's Green Bay Packers preseason game, you'd think that Aaron Rodgers had won a Super Bowl. The entire sports world raved about his performance (although I don't find it to be anything remarkably special… it was a PRESEASON game!) - but I was impressed after seeing Brett Favre's replacement go on a world wide tour, drink some beer, win some gold medals...
Allen And Gruden Clear The Air On Favre
After spending much of last week, downplaying the Bucs interest in QB Brett Favre, General Manager Bruce Allen finally decided to clear the air yesterday on the Bucs involvement in the Favre drama. I personally thought Allen's comments last week were classic, a blatent lie to the majority of our local Bay Area media jokers as well as a ton of national media. The idea behind...

Frequently beleaguered New York sports franchise finds itself riding high for the first time in several years thanks to a superlative 2006 season, only to fall flat on its face in spectacular fashion the following year.

Up Next: Burgundy & Gold!!!
There are going to be many people that place a lot of value on Saturday's action against the Skins. In reality though, this game will be much more telling for QB's 2 and 3, then it will be for #4! It's obvious that all Jets fans will be excited to see Brett Favre in his first action, and I'm sure it

On many reality television shows, the non-so-secret weapon is the "twist." Some sort of curveball thrown in to keep things interesting and create drama. It could be something like triple immunity, or a contestant that was eliminated gets a second chance or a participant gets to issue some sort of challenge to someone else.
Well the AFC East is like a convoluted reality...

And A Brett Will Lead Them
I think it is safe to say with regard to the New York Jets, "Will the real Brett please stand up?" It may be early but speculating is the most fun a Jets fan has had for the past 40 years so when we said Brett Favre would be a Jet weeks ago it should not come as a surprise to our readers to say that Brett Ratliff will be the next in line. That's right. Brett squared...
Madden 09: The Snafu
I really feel for John Madden. Not really, actually, but I'll just pretend to. I mean, it's obvious he had wanted former Green Bay Packers quarterback/epic mancrush Brett Favre on the cover of his Madden video game series for a long, long time. But Favre was too smart of a business man and he knew that if he appeared there, he was screwed. Not that it really mattered...
