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 …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 …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 …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 …read more

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 …read more

There’s been a rumor circulating the Web these last few days that former Cubs great Sammy Sosa has been lightning his skin. The Chicago Tribune has a photo in which his skin is shown much lighter than it has been in the past.

So what gives?
A friend of Sosa’s and an employee of the Cubs, Rebecca Polihronis, says this is much ado about nothing. She says, “He’s not trying to be Michael Jackson.”
Apparently this is a case where Sosa has been undergoing skin treatments to help his completion after so many years playing baseball in the sun. Polihronis …read more

After watching the Green Bay Packers lose in the biggest way possible to the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there is one thing that sticks in my mind and that is the quote from Tampa coach Raheem Morris:

These guys played passionate. I don’t have the official stats. Stats are for losers and this week we’re winners.
I think this is going to be the soundbyte that will be played again and again for weeks (and possibly years) to come. And rightly so.
You forget how important wins are until you have a team that struggles. Before Sunday, Tampa Bay was 0-7 …read more

Have you seen some of the Onion Sports Network clips floating around YouTube and other video outlets? They are absolutely hilarious. For those of you unfamiliar, The Onion delivers the snarky, false side of news and does it in a way that makes you go “waa?” and then “hahaha.” They have a series of video clips that deal with sports stories, like this one:
In a press release, Comedy Central announced that it has worked out a deal for The Onion to do a scripted comedy series that will “take on the whole universe of modern sports — …read more

After the Yankees won the World Series, Alex Rodriguez partied it up with his girlfriend Kate Hudson and some of his teammates, including Derek Jeter. They all went to 1OAK and partied until late into the night. People says A-Rod even got up and showed off his singing ability, warbling “We Are the Champions.” (Wouldn’t you have loved to have seen that?)

Also at the party was Kate Hudson’s stepfather Kurt Russell. People there said Kate and A-Rod were “affectionate with each other,” and after Kate left Kurt Russell stayed behind and bonded.

I have a theory that involves ex’s. Namely? They should be quiet. Once they break up with you, they should never be allowed to talk to (or about) you again. But that’s just me.

One way this theory would work out well is with famous people. An ex of someone famous always seems to blab about things that the other person just doesn’t want people to know. Case in point? Khloe Kardashian and her ex NBA basketball boyfriend Rashad McCants. In an episode of Khloe’s reality show “Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami,” the …read more
