In defense of Brett Favre

Occasionally I listen to whatever the hell the name of that show is on Sirius NFL Radio. Early morning. Randy Cross. That other dude. I think it's called The Morning Drive. I'm not really sure.

Favre Done as a Packer

It seems at least 90% certain that Brett Favre has played his last game for the Green Bay Packers. I don't know where I'm getting the 90% number from by the way…it just sounds good.

The Most Egotistical Athlete Alive: Farve vs. Manny

How come every time I turn on ESPN these days, the only things being discussed are the futures of these two assclowns?  The internets are filled with prognostications and opinions; I'll admit, I'm contributing to the over-saturation right now.  But only out of contemptful disdain.  I promise.  I've never pined for the Little League World [...]

Return of the R&B Receiver

Darnerien McCants is back in the NFL, and not too far from where he began his NFL journey.
