For as long as I can remember, late summer and the fast approaching fall season has meant one thing - the return of football.  Always the best time of the year…

… well not so much anymore.  Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers have ruined it for me.  Flat out - I am disgusted by the entire situation.

Retired, unretired.  Sure you can come back, no we don’t want you back.

And now we all look like a bunch of buffoons.

Brett Favre, you were my sports hero.  You were everything that was good about sports.  For 16 years you exemplified what was good about the game of football.  But you called it quits.  You announced your retirement and your team moved on.  Through the draft, through the restructuring of the offense - the Packers were prepared for life without you.  And then you changed your mind, and placed the franchise you helped to build into the worst situation possible.

Do they welcome you back?  Or do they turn you away.  They committed to a new quarterback, because you said you were done.  You claim that they rushed you to make a decision about your return before this year’s draft, causing you to throw in the towel before you were ready - can you blame them?  They needed to prepare, not sit around and wait for you to make up your mind.

… But Brett Favre, you are not completely to blame here.  Sure the Packers could have handled the situation better.  Release, trade, accept the return - just do something.  The longer this whole spiel plays out the worse everyone looks, and the more fans that will be lost, forced to choose sides during this ridiculous battle.

Someone please just make some sort of decision.  I want to admire Brett Favre.  I want to stay loyal to my favorite team the Green Bay Packers.  But right now all parties involved are just making it real hard.

So the other day at one of the SEC media days, Kentucky wide receiver Dicky Lyons Jr. gave a group of reporters a little more than they bargained for, as he decided to start talking about some strange dreams he had been having.

“I’ve been having these creepy dreams about [my fiancé] leaving me. ‘Cosmo’ says it’s natural to have these dreams. But I’ve been having these dreams that she’s leaving me, and this other dream the other night, I went out, and I’m following her, right, because I’m having suspicions.

“So then I find her at this bar, and I go up to her and I’m trying to talk to her. I said, ‘What are you doing?’ And she’s like, ‘I just don’t want to marry you.’ I’m trying to shake her, and slap her out of it, and I’m like, ‘Focus!’ And I slap her, and then I turn around, and Matt Stafford punches me in the nose. Matt Stafford goes, ‘You don’t hit women.’ And then all of a sudden their backup quarterback who is now at Delta State, Blake (Barnes), he comes hitting me and then I’m like fighting off all these quarterbacks, (Brian) Hoyer from Michigan State, all the guys who I was at with the Manning camp started jumping in. I did pretty well because I was biting them, I was twisting their arms, I knew all these Army Ranger tricks in my dream. I mean, it was just crazy. I was laughing about it. I texted [Stafford] and said, ‘I’m dreaming about you.’”

Lyons added that Stafford never responded.

“I don’t know if he likes me that much,” Lyons said.

Wow. Read the rest of the story here

 

Yeah, thats right - Seaside Heights, here we come. Steroids, bronzer, and blowouts - this place has got it all. Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll run into Tommy - gotta love this guy.

… He loves his Cheeseballs.

… And is a dancing machine (until he pukes in the corner)

 

There are many reasons why you shouldn’t be friends with your parents on facebook. Drunken photos, ridiculous status messages… these are really just some things your folks should never be seeing.

But the biggest reason why to not be facebook friends with your parents? So your roomate doesn’t friend your mom and strike up convo.

Seriously - quit talking to my mom dude.

 

Skaboom has poison ivy.  This just sucks the big one.

 

… I know it’s pathetic, but I’m going to talk about NASCAR.

So today it was reported the following this season Tony Stewart will be ending his 10 year run with Joe Gibbs Racing and moving over to the Haas/CNC team. Tony Stewart is officially a moron.

How can you leave one of the best teams in NASCAR for one of the worst? Right now Stewart has it made - driving for a Gibbs team that currently has every one of their drivers in position to make The Chase, coupled with complete domination in the Nationwide Series (Gibbs has won 13/19 this season). What possible reason could there be to leave? Currently surrounded by the best equipment and the best team, Stewart is going to leave it all behind.

His crew - not going with him (terms of his deal to leave Gibbs Racing). No more #20 Home Depot car. No more Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin helping you move through the field.

… I’m not seeing a lot of benefit here.

Sure, he bought 50% of the Haas team - but why? It’s current drivers (Johnny Sauter and Scott Riggs) - how many races have they won this year? Big fat zero. Thats what you’re joining Tony. A garbage team that currently has a couple mediocre drivers.

Find yourself a new crew, and a new car - and then we’ll see how you do. And as for Gibbs Racing - sure they’ll miss Tony. He was a great driver. But the future looks bright. Stewart’s replacement, Joey Logano, is an uber-talent who at only 18 years old already has a win, two poles, and two top 5’s in his first 4 starts.

Great move Tony. Enjoy your fall to mediocrity.

 

Just discussed on ESPN’s NFL Live:

Chris Mortensen reports Brett Favre is considering a comeback. Apparently Brett claims to still have “the itch”.

I got mad love for you Brett, but you’re really taking your team on quite a roller coaster ride. If you want to come back, of course we will welcome you back (I say “we” because I of course am a part-owner) - you are one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. But how is your decision going to affect the rest of your team - especially Aaron Rodgers. For the last few months, your team has been preparing for the season with the understanding that Rodgers will be the starter. The offense has evolved to focus on his specific talents. Is that all supposed to be scrapped now? And what about Rodgers himself? He has waited patiently for the past few seasons, waiting for his chance. And to finally get that chance, and then have it ripped away… eventually he is going to want to go somewhere else. We can’t afford to let our potential future for the next decade get away.

Either way, Brett Favre will always remain my sports hero. Always. But please keep in mind the ramifications of your actions. Please don’t let your “itch” to play endanger the future of the franchise you spent so many years building up.
