Steve Young Assesses The Brett Favre Mess
I don't think I'd be out of line in saying that Steve Young is an oasis in an ESPN desert of crapitude.

I Can Think Of No Better Metaphor For The Favre Situation Than This
How to say goodbye to the Wisconsin legend that is Brett Favre? Well, other than a life-sized statue made entirely of cheese, this giant corn maze will have to do. (Or would it be giant maize maze?).

Brett Favre Is A County-Wide Crisis, Telemarketing Goldmine

Favre Protesters Mark The Coming Of End Times
The Favre shit is going to drag out longer than the war in Iraq. First presidential candidate to put the kibosh on this story gets my vote in the next six elections. It can even be Ralph Nader.
