There’s no doubt that Brett Favre’s presence on the Minnesota Vikings has helped bring the “whole package” together. A great defense, a great run game, good receivers, and now, a future hall of fame quarterback. Favre has presented himself as a mature, balanced quarterback. His interceptions have been minimal, and his rating has never been better. But let’s face it, he’s 40. As he’s showed in the past, the cold weather (now) gets to him. Despite his time in Green Bay, the last few years he has done incredibly poor in cold conditions. Will he be able to overcome this and remain strong? Yes, and here’s why. He Had Surgery Favre is great at playing hurt, but having surgery in the off-season... [Read more]

Matt Millen, former Detroit Lions General Manager, is now back in the broadcast booth. You’d think his appalling time ruining the Lions would have made stations shun him, but hey, I guess there’s no accounting for taste. Millen has been doing the Thursday night games on the NFL network. So if you’ve missed his “insightful” play calling, you won’t have to wait any further than tonite to see him again! The Washington Examiner interviewed Millen last week, asking him if he had a different perspective about the game now that he had been an “NFL executive.” Here’s what Millen said: “… I have a far better picture on how each team was assembled. So now I know when the coaches implement... [Read more]

Are you rooting for Chicago Bear quarterback Jay Cutler this season? I’ll admit that it’s a hard one for me, being a Packer fan and all, but since I’m also a Type 1 diabetic I really have a soft spot for him. Now I’ve found out that rooting for him may just help someone else with diabetes. So root for him I will! Here are the details: Jay Cutler has teamed up with Lilly, who will donate $1,000 (which is the cost of one camp scholarship for a Type 1 diabetic child), for every touchdown pass he completes during the 2009 season to the American Diabetes Association’s camp scholarship fund. Not only that, but for every pass he completes, they will donate $100. You can keep track of all the stats for this incredible... [Read more]

I know of many women who work right up until the day they deliver their baby. Others take off in the time right before. Gisele Bundchen decided to become a pilot. She’s already passed her written exam, and just need some flying time in before she officially passes. (She’ll be doing the flying time sometime after she delivers next month.) Not only that, but is it just me or does this lady seriously NOT look pregnant in the slightest? What has she gained? Like ten pounds? Well, good for her. She’s got a handsome hubby, who is just about to beat the Colts (my prediction), a baby on the way, and lots and lots of money. I’d say it must be pretty great to be Gisele right now, wouldn’t you?

Will there be “Go Tony!” signs in the stands this Sunday when the Packers take on the Cowboys? Maybe. Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is originally from Burlington, Wisconsin. (Burlington is small Wisconsin town about 150 miles south of Green Bay.) According to the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel, Romo expected a “decent contingent” from his hometown to turn out, but admitting that he’s letting his folks do all the leg work. (He’s got more important matters on his right now. Like ignoring Jessica Simpson’s phone calls.) In case we were wondering whether Romo was going to try and fit in a round of golf (which I personally wasn’t wondering, were you?), he says jokingly “I play usually about... [Read more]
