...Brett Favre

Another day another Brett Favre story. This one is a good one though. He may have just been fined $50,000, his career may be over, he may not be starting today and he may have a lot of problems this off season with his personal life, but for now he dances.

This actually gives me hope that maybe, just maybe, he will start today. I doubt it and if not then oh well. Does Favre have rhythm? A tad, enough. I am sure he can boot scoot boogie with the best of them down in Mississippi. I am glad to see that he is not down and mopey. I am giving Brett Favre a Digit Up.

...Brett Favre

Another day another Brett Favre story. After almost 3 months of investigation into whether or not Favre did anything wrong in contacting, leaving voicemails and possibly sending pictures to Jets Hostess Jen Sterger during his one year with the Jets, the case is closed. What was the outcome? Favre will not be suspended, but he will be fined, $50,000. Why? Because Favre was deemed uncooperative and not candid during the league's investigation into the incident. While Favre did admit to leaving the voicemails, he denied sending the pictures, and if you say the pictures you would deny them as well. This is most likely Favre's last season playing in the NFL, it saddens me to say it but it is most likely true... Unless there is a lockout and the season is reduced to 9 games and Favre gets a chance to make it to the Super Bowl again because he and his key players are all healthy! JOY! Doubt it. Jen's lawyer said that they were both disappointed with the outcome, of course. I still find it hard to believe that this is the same woman who did not even want to have anything to do with this, but with the help of others, become totally involved in taking Favre down. Whatever. I am giving Favre a Digit Up for getting through this. It tarnished his image for sure and his career went out with a fizzle, but at least he gets to keep the bulk of his $16 million this year.

...Brett Favre

I'm so sad to report that the streak is over. After 18 years and 297 consecutive starts in a sport as hard and brutal on the body, Brett Favre failed to start due to an injury. Brett Favre as we know is my football hero. I love watching him play and I know that this may be his last season and it saddens me, but his streak ending saddens me even more because some think that he may not be able to return for anymore games this season. Is it wrong to feel like you want to cry? A little sad? A little angry? A little bitter? I mean if T.O. can cry about his quarterback I think I can as well. He has had a laundry list of injuries, and he has always come back and played. Here are just some of his injures:

They would not let him suit up and take a snap? He did not want to but I am sure he could have been talked into it. Maybe Peyton Manning will get injured and he will not be able to break the record, who knows. For now it is all Brett's. I am giving this news 2 Digits Down. I can see the sunset nearing.... The video below gets it.

...Jenn Sterger

Jenn Sterger is becoming a major pain, more so than before. She is, of course, the woman that Brett Favre allegedly sent voicemails and nude photos too while he was with the Jets. Her public relations manager Phil Reese said that Sterger will not sue Favre, the NFL or the Jets if the NFL suspend Favre immediately."If the commissioner suspends Favre and puts a program in place to prevent it from happening again ... 100 percent, Jenn would not pursue any litigation against Favre, against the Jets, against the NFL. Nothing. All she wants to do is clear her name. This is not about money," Reese said. To this I say CHICK PLEASE! It is not that major to begin with. I remember when this all started she did not want anything to do with it and she did not even want to talk tot he NFL, some guy talked her into it and wanted to ruin Favre's image. Well both succeeded there! I doubt ti will come down to that. The season is almost over and we all think that Favre is really going to retire this time. If he does not retire then we will talk about this next season. Any who I am giving Jen Sterger a Digit Down for pretty much trying to scare everyone and kick a man when he is down.

...The Minnesota Vikings

Well the Minnesota Vikings finally fired their head coach Brad Childress less than a year after he took them to the NFC Championship game. After a horrible 31-3 loss to Green Bay Sunday the owner just said eh and fired him. Of course there were a lot of other things such as their 3-7 record this season, the waiving of Randy Moss without the owner's knowledge, the grumblings of other players saying they had no respect or trust for him. When the cards are stacked against you like that, not much else you can do. What will happen to the Vikings now? Their season is over, unless somehow they win the last 6...DREAMS. People are wondering how long Brett Favre will last as the starting quarterback or if he will even finish the season. The Vikings are obviously a huge bust this season and no one could have thought it would be this bad for them. I do not see Favre returning, although I would love to see him play until the age of 43, but with everything that has happened to him on and off the field....yeah. Next season may just be their comeback season, especially if Rice is healthy and all of the other players, the main players, are giving 110%. I am going to give the Minnesota Vikings a Digit Down for this season. It is just a great disappointment.

...Sports

Such a great day for sports, sort of. Only 2 downsides; Jeff Gordan crashed and The Hawks finally lost their 1st game. But other than that the Vikings won, the Packers won, F1 is going to come down to 1 race to decide it all, etc. So I guess I will add on to it by finally showing this LeBron response video made by the great people of Cleveland. I found it humorous and honest and of course I am going to give it a Digit Up!

...Brett Favre

My football hero Brett Favre has returned to the Minnesota Vikings in grand style. Farve watch 2010 sort of ended yesterday when he flew in with 3 fellow teammates from his home in Mississippi. Today he went t practice and told us all how this came about.

As you can see this was more than just a simple little decision, no duh right. He says this will be his last season, and it just might be. 20 is a good long even number. I do know what he means about the Super Bowl thing, and last year he was oh so close to going to the big game. I can sit here and tell you a million reasons why I love Favre, why I want him to win this year and blah blah blah, but for some reason I can only hope that this is a great year for him. He does not have to be as great as last year if he wins the Super Bowl though. I also just hope that he makes it through the season without getting injured very badly. Favre is almost 41 and he is a big target for and defensive player. I am going to give him a Digit Up for coming back and giving it one more shot.

...Brett Favre

Brett Favre, my favorite football player, my football hero, the living football legend, has decided to call it quits...for the 3rd time. It is being reported that Brett Favre is going to retire form the game of football after 20 years of service. The only problem is, no one has heard it from Brett. It has been reported that late Monday night Favre called the Minnesota Vikings and some of his teammates and let them know that he was not returning. When asked about it it head coach Brad Childress said he would not believe it until he heard it from Brett's mouth, and that has yet to happen. Brett nor his agent have given said that he was retiring, so many are wondering if this news is true. I sort of think it is true, although I do not want to. He had ankle surgery over the Summer to repair his damaged ankle and it has been reported that he is not pleased with the progress his ankle has made. Also he is almost 41 and he took some pretty major hits last season, especially against the Carolina Panthers. But there are doubts, and rightfully so. He "retired" from the Green Bay Packers, but came back with the Jets. He retired from the Jets, and then came back with the Vikings and now we are here again 3 years after his 1st retirement for number 3. Some are saying that maybe he will come back during the middle of the season. I do not know if that is likely. Brett holds the record for most consecutive starts at 285, I doubt he would want to miss out on adding to that record. I know that Brett wants to continue playing the game, it is in his heart and soul to play. I could see him possibly sitting out a season and maybe coming back for one last shot a year later, but I think that would make him so rusty that you would actually see him play like a man of his age. I do want him, to come back though and of course I would love to see him win a Super Bowl, but if that is too much then maybe he could just not go out with an interception, the way he has done for every team he left, but that is kind of what makes Favre Favre. So if this really is his real retirement, all I can hope fore is that h becomes an announcer or a coach of some sort, I never want to not see Brett Favre away from football for too long. I am giving this possible sad news 2 Digits Down.
