Brett Favre And Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum's Broseph Love Is Boundless and Obscenity-Laden
The New York Jets were fired up after their victory over the dastardly Patriots last Thursday night and rightly so, considering all that was on the line. But no one was more excited than the ol' gunslinger, Brett Favre, who shared an unreserved embrace with Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum after the victory that pretty much tells you everything you need to know about both men. After the jump, enjoy their exchange in the tunnel at Gillette Stadium. Team Favre-rica.... More »

There Are More Favres Around Than You Think, America
Yes, Dylan Favre here, a junior at St. Stanislaus High in Mississippi, is related to Brett Favre. He's a nephew, and evidently pretty good, for his size. Favre the Lesser set the state's single-season record for TD passes at 43 last week in his team's regular-season finale, throwing for five scores in a 42-27 win over Poplarville. More » -

Brett Favre, ESPN, Jay Glazer and You
Brett Favre finally addressed the issues surrounding the Jay Glazer report about whether or not he shared offensive secrets with the Lions prior to the Packers game. As you may have heard: Glazer broke the story, ESPN sends out standard memo instructing its Bristol army NOT TO REPORT THAT STORY, and questions pop up as to whether the WWL is installing a company-wide anti-Glazer policy for the sake of Chris Mortensen's fragile ego or if Favre is sour-grape sabotaging his former team.

Favre-Packers Divorce Is Getting Downright Messy
So do you have a problem that you would like Brett Favre to solve? Girlfriend trouble? Confused about which laundry detergent to buy? Hang by your phone, and Brett will be with you momentarily. But first he has to solve the problems of the NFL, like advising Tony Romo on whether or not he should play with a broken pinkie. Also there's this little matter of Favre calling the Detroit Lions and advising them on how to beat the Packers. That was a cold-blooded, Ari Gold-like move to be sure. More » -

Thank You Brett Favre, For Teaching Us How To Laugh Once Again
Oh Brett Favre, you and your playful, backwoods prankster antics. In what passes as high-concept comedy in Mississippi and certain portions of Wisconsin, Favre pulled the hilarious gag of leaving a dead animal he had shot in the locker of a Jets teammate. Of course this hasn't been considered original since Davy Crockett did it while a member of Congress, but that didn't stop our non-retired hero. More » -

But ... I Don't Wanna Watch That
You laughed at my theory that the ESPN site is edited and designed by robots, but every day the evidence mounts in my favor. Only something with a heart of cold metal could let this slip through; either that, or they're saying once again that they think there's nothing on their network we won't watch. Come on Leader, have a human read your deck heads occasionally. Norby probably won't fire you if you tinker with the wording a little in extreme cases. More » -

And Now You Get To Share Your Opinion About Comment Threading During Your Usual Monday Night Football Yelling Session
It's amazing that the soothsayers at ESPN actually picked the Jets to be featured on a Monday Night Football gameh so early in the season. Now, they can capitalize on Brett Favre's national unveiling as a New York Jet and beat that storyline into the ground until viewers collectively turn the volume down or bash their heads through their television screens. Which member of the yap-heavy MNF team will spontaneously combust with excitement after Favre throws his first touchdown pass? Kornheiser might have to be slipped a little Ativan before kickoff.

Aaron Rodgers And His Formidable Proboscis Are Warmly Embraced And Introduced To The World
No, it wasn't a spectacular debut, but it at least it temporarily put some of the skepticism about the transition to rest. The most often used adjective to describe Rodgers 18-of-22 178 yard one touchdown performance he also scored on a rushing touchdown) was "efficient." But the Packers at least proved that the Vikings vaunted defense is penetrable with a game plan, which should make the NFC North a lot more interesting this year. The one email we received last night about Rodgers was this:
"During Rodgers postgame interview, the cameraman was on his right side, and the man’s nose was massive. Cyrano de Bergerac massive. My wife wasn’t even watching the game, and looked up and was absolutely stunned.But then the interview ended, and from his left side, the nose DRAMATICALLY changed. It had to be some sort of optical illusion, but we rewound the clip four times trying to figure out what happened." More »
