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.

Your Booing Is Crushing The Souls Of America's Youth
I've never really thought of booing as something that could do much psychological damage... you play on the road, you hear it, and that's how it goes. The booers, in most cases, aren't making any sort of judgment on you or the choices you made in your life, they're booing because you're wearing colo...
You Know What It Takes To Win High School Basketball Games?
A Maine high school basketball coach lost his job after he instructed each of his players to lay their hands on their crotch pickles.

The fine gentlemen at Kissing Suzy Kolber call this their favorite highlight ever, and I think it's worthy of the praise.
