Would the Earth stop rotating?  Would the planets fall out of line?  What if the Minnesota Vikings decided that the 40-something Brett Favre wasn’t their best quarterback option afterall? 
After an 0-2 start, the Vikings have to be concerned.  Last season, Favre threw seven interceptions in the entire season.  In two games this season, he’s [...]

Memo to Dan Hampton — Katrina and New Orleans are Off-Limits

Sometimes, football’s talking heads speak before thinking. Pro Football Weekly’s Dan Hampton is guilty of that. Hurricane Katrina forever altered the history of New Orleans in a devastating way.

Slumber Party at Brett Favre’s House

 
[picappgallerysingle id="3058432"]I know it’s the middle of preseason, but what better time to fly to Mississippi and visit a friend than this week?

Is Brett Favre a Moron?

By a show of hands, who’s tired of Brett Favre?
