Media Meltdowns
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.

Brett Favre
Noticeably absent during the whole Brett Favre
telenovela has been Fox Sports' NFL dirt dog,
Jay Glazer. The reporter and MMA tough guy broke so many stories last year (including Favre's retirement announcement) that it seemed odd he wasn't pumping out new Favre revelations, even as Chris Mortensen, Peter King, and Greta Van Susterface entrenched themselves in the malcontent gunslinger's head.

There's this thing about Jay Glazer that kind of makes you like him and annoyed by him at the same time. He seems like type of guy you'd hit the 50-cent wing and $8 pitcher special with at a bar for six hours, but then he'd get bored and drag you to a way-too fancy club just because "he knows people there." Then you'd get to the club, and the guy you just spent the last six hours drinking and bullshitting with will work the room like Sinatra, just letting you tag along. You'd feel like a third wheel even though it's just the two of you.

Other Thoughts On The First Weekend Of The NFL:
• As the only guy who ever brought the Buzzsaw to the playoffs, we will always have a soft spot for Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer. But, what, with the out of control hair (facial and otherwise),
angry anti-war screeds and the tendency to throw the ball to the other team, it's only a matter of time until he goes into some tirade in front the Broncos fans and talks about "how better it was in Arizona." We sometimes thinks coach Mike Shanahan is starting at him like he's going to eat him, by the way.
• Former
CBS Sportsline reporter Jay Glazer, now a sideline guy covering the Vikings game, can't be any taller than 5-foot-2. Minnesota coach Mike Tice is tall, but he's not that tall.
• We were disappointed the NFL did not allow 49ers coach Mike Nolan
to wear a tie, like he had requested.
• We think people were booing Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson while they were singing "America the Beautiful" before the Redskins game. Sorry. We're pretty sure, actually.
• A New York City sports bar was a bad place for someone to bearing an Arizona Cardinals hat and Kurt Warner jersey for the second half of that Giants-Buzzsaw Cardinals game yesterday. Trust us.
