By accusing the Vikings of tampering with Brett Favre, the Packers have really upped the ante. Can you imagine what's going to happen if the Packers lose to these same Vikings in week one?

Cover your ears Wisconsin, but say it with me if you feel it: "Brett Favre is douche bag." It's time to give up the varsity jacket and hang it up Brett. Or at least put the kibosh on the act and circus you've created. For someone so utterly consumed with not wanting his legacy tarnished, Brett Favre sure is going the extra mile to do just that. Does he even...

Three minutes after I posted my vicious attack on Mike Florio of PFT for a seemingly random tampering accusation against Darrell Bevell…well, this came across (via Fox Sports):
The Packers have filed tampering charges with the league office against the Minnesota Vikings for alleged communication with Brett Favre, still technically a member of Green Bay, FOXSports.com has learned...

I can honestly say that during Brett Favre's 47 year career with the Green Bay Packers my opinions about him never went further than "he's real good." Being an AFC guy, I never particularly went out of my way to watch Favre torch the Panthers during the morning games on FOX. Over the past year, [...]

I can't say I agree with the headline here, but I also can't disagree with the maths.
AccuScore has simulated the 2008 NFL season 10,000 times with Brett Favre wearing loads of different jerseys, and the Redskins are a team that would improve considerably with the gunslinger:
Washington's chances of making the playoffs increase by over 10 [...]

The Brett Favre (un)retirement saga is turning into one of the most intriguing PR battles of all time. The fact is, there’s not a lot Favre can do to regain the Packers starting quarterback job. The team is in control. They hold almost all the cards.
The one card Favre does hold [...]

So I'm sitting here exhausted, with my ears ringing after forgetting my earplugs while going to a concert today (The Oranges Band, check em out), and I'm thinking about Brett Favre. I'm really tired of him. I hate him right now, but that won't diminish the impact he's had on everyone in association with the Packers. It seems like Favre's done everything...

It remains to be seen how serious the tampering charge that is being brought against the Vikings by the Packers really ends up being, but today the Vikings officially declined comment on the matter. Team spokesman Bob Hagan issued a simple two-sentence statement stating that the Vikings "are not commenting on the issue. These types of matters are handled by the league."...

Seemingly lost in the shuffle of Brett Favre's sandy vagina and last night's All Star Game was a trade between the Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets. Just a few days after being slighted by Elton Brand, the Clippers seemingly picked up a steal in acquiring shot-blocking extraordinare Marcus Camby for a future exchange of [...]

Tarvaris Jackson finally had to say something about all the rumors that Brett Favre was coming to take away his job. He's apparently become a fatalist about that sort of thing:
Every time a quarterback comes up, they throw Minnesota in there.
You know me. If it happens, it happens. I can't control it, but I don't worry about it. All I can do is handle my business.

Five years and $30 million. That's how long and how much it will take for Joe Flacco to become the face of the Baltimore Ravens franchise.
There's been no secret that Flacco will play understudy for as long as possible. With Brett Favre rumors to the side, that means he has, at the most, this season to prepare while Kyle Boller or Troy Smith gets the nod for opening day.
Which may...

For starters:At this point, I'm not sure I care what happens between Brett Favre and the Packers. Is anyone surprised that he's changed his mind about retiring? No. Is anyone surprised that the Packers are now between a rock and a hard place? No. Let's just get him in a Panthers jersey and call it a day. Yeah, right.Okay then, now:Has an 18-year-old kid just opened the...
