Look at the picture to the right.  What is the first thought, the very first thought that comes to your mind?  WOW!?  Love it?  Cringe?  What is it?  Every picture can evoke an emotional response almost instantly.  Perhaps no picture these days can do that more than this one.  The thought of Brett Favre playing [...]

There's more Brett Favre rumors out today I'm not even going to touch. Chicago Bears - What I was hoping to avoid. - A dream that will never happen. Detroit Lions - Still housekeeping. Minnesota Vikings - More annoying crap. - Some law trouble for the purple. That's all I really feel like doing today…

I'm not saying that I consider Pro Football Talk a road map.  I don't see them as a news organization that I trust above all others.  What I will say is that they are reporting something today that, if true, could be absolutely enormous. They're a cute little website but it seems to me that they're [...]

Several days after ESPN.com broke the story that Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre wanted to reverse his March 4 decision to retire the team remained relatively silent Monday.

While it may sell a lot more tickets, and garner some much needed national attention, there's no team less fitted for Brett...

I really hate do this to you.  All of you, I really mean it, but something has to be said for everyone.  I've already written two blogs on this in the last two days (Hey ESPN, STFU! and ESPN Continues to Slay Me), but this definitely takes the cake.  The above image is the homepage for ESPN.com's NFL section at around 12:20 AM ET on July 7, 2008.  Yeah.  The Brett Favre-lovefest...

I know Brett Favre's "will he or won't he" act is getting tiresome. I know it's not fair to Aaron Rodgers. I know this might make the Packers worse off in two or three years. But if Brett Favre really wants to return to football, the Packers should take him back. There's no other reasonable choice. Favre holds the keys. He can un-retire whenever he...

On May 25, an F-5 tornado, packing winds in excess of 200 mph, destroyed a small town of 1,900 in Parkersburg, Iowa. The monstrous three-quarters of a mile wide twister needed just 34 seconds to kill six people and demolish the pride and joy of this community: the Aplington-Parkersburg High School, which has produced four active NFL players, fifth most of any high school in the nation...
