3rd Time Around for #4







The highlights continue for Brett Favre...Favre's on again off again on again comeback is the talk of the sports world.


Just over 18 years ago, Brett Favre was drafted 33rd overall by the Atlanta Falcons.Had an amazing career, no one can argue that. Hands down, Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time.

But c'mon Favre... when is enough, enough? Wouldn't one want to go out with a bang. To let us remember the good...not the soap opera that continues today.

From the infamous words of Mike Gundy, "I'm 40, I'm a Man." Well Brett Favre may need to take a hint... be a man and step aside.

In January 2008, ESPN covered every tear during his “retirement” press conference, only for him to “itch” for a comeback in June. A movie-like break up between Favre and the Packers landed Favre in New York for the ’08 season.

Then the Jets drafted Mark Sanchez, and in turn, they released Favre. This was because he was set on retirement and wanted to spend more time with his family—we all never expected him to come out of retirement once again.

So, the saga continues... Favre is now the oldest starting quarterback in the NFL at this present time playing for the Minnesota Vikings.

Personally, I think it is a personal vendetta Favre has on the Packers... oh what a game that one will be.

This thought brings me to 3 words... "Let's Go Defense!"

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL? Uh-Huh...



Oh football, oh football you are back in my life…sigh.
It’s funny; it’s bittersweet for me this time of season. Don’t get me wrong in ANY way; I love the game, all aspects. No ifs, ands or buts. Well, there is one BUT, ha-ha.
The fact, that I have absolutely no life when it is in season.
But, this isn’t my first rodeo in the Big Country… the focus this year to do maximum coverage without wearing myself thin.
So far, we are 2 days into the “2-A-Day” season… I have seen Wylie’s new stadium, and got to see Jim Ned’s new turf (awesome!). Not to mention, they let me throw the ball around…and gave me a standing ovation! Thanks guys
So, so far so good. The key is to remember, just like in the game, to have fun!!! It ain’t worth doing, unless you have a little fun.

To Be Continued…
