...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.

...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!

..Divorce?

It seems like today everything was just divorce divorce divorce! Let us look at them all.

-The Minnesota Vikings let Randy Moss go today after he failed to live up to their expectations. I do believe that 2 things helped them make up their mind. Yesterday he was thrown a ball that fell about 3 yards in font of him, but he had already started slowing down and he could have easily made that catch and ran it in for a touchdown. After the game he gave a very direct speech to the press about how he would no longer take questions from them and how he would ask and answer his own questions. Today the Vikings just said "eh" and let him go.

-Courteny Cox said she was NOT getting a divorce. Well she said this actually, I don't know what will happen, but this is not like we're getting divorced. This is a separation and I think that takes a lot of courage . . . Whatever is supposed to happen will be the best thing for us." So I guess that even after David admitted to having sex with other women during their separation, she is willing to stay with him... I just hope it is not for this child, that never works. They were spotted out together and they seemed very cozy so they may get back together. This again would be another blow for her single friends Jennifer Aniston, shame.

- Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash decided NOT to divorce his wife of 9 years. He filled for divorce 2 months ago but somehow now he is changing his mind. I think that this is very good since he credits his wife for helping him settle down and get rid of all of his "hardcore" habits and whatnot.

-Finally we have Mister Sheen, Charlie Sheen. He is deciding to divorce her, HE IS DIVORCING HER! After last Christmas' domestic abuse in Colorado and after his hotel drug fueled romp with a porn star less than a week ago, Sheen is calling it off with his 3rd wife. In the papers filed Monday he stated that he and his wife have been separated since Christmas 2009 and that there was a prenup involved. This is no shock or surprise to anyone at all, not even Charlie or his Wife, at the moment. He will have about 3 more wives before he dies and the last one will get everything, lucky gal.

Basically divorce is the word. I was told the a lot of people liek to break up beofre birthdays and the holidays so if you are lookign for a good time to do so, give it a go nw. I am giving this news a Digit Up because everythign is working out just well.

...Football

Last week college football kicked of and it was good. Well professional football kicked off last night and it was pretty good. It was a close game and even though the Vikings lost, it was still good. I think this season will be full of surprises. So many moves were made over the Summer and so much hype is going around for so many team it makes it hard to follow. key members from a few teams are missing due to injuries and then there are those traded players that will either be a great move or bust for whatever team that acquired them. Rookies also could have a major impact, although the one that everyone seems eager to watch is Tim Tebow. I am just ready to see some great football. It always seems like it takes forever for the season to come around, but when it comes it is worth it. I am of course giving football 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.
