O My My MY!

There have been some VERY interesting happenings in sports this past week! So, I decided to just give a few comments on them all instead of focusing on one each.

First, Farve! This man has won me over. I used to roll my eyes and hope that someone would go to his first "post-retire" game with a tranquilizer gun and put him out before his first pass. BUT, I have to admit, he is one crusty, stubborn old fart! Will he retire? AGAIN? Well, his answer was basically NO! He says, he will play if he is "healthy," which of course he will be...he'll make SURE to be! Anyway, I give up, go Farve!

Then....Oh boy! Tyson Gay beat Usain "big head"Bolt! And even though both of their times were nowhere near Bolt's record time he ran in the 2008 Olympics, it STILL gives Gay bragging rights. He didn't just beat him in this last race in Stockholm, he smoked him! I'm glad I can say that Gay beat Bolt, even if it was a result of Bolt being out of shape and coming from an Achilles injury. A win is a win! Congrats Gay!

Next, WOWZER! Did I just see that? Did I just watch Chael Sonnen practically murder Anderson Silva for four rounds, and even most of the fifth and STILL lose the fight? What, does Silva have some type of Brazilian leprechaun bringing him luck? To be honest, I had a feeling that Anderson might lose this fight because Sonnen was so darn confident he'd win! Ever heard that saying "mind over matter?" Well it turns out, Sonnen not only had the mind, he had the matter! He got Silva where he hurt: wrestling. So, wrestling is Anderson Silva's cryptonite! I'm surprised that in all his 12 straight wins, no one has faced him that could wrestle. He hasn't lost since 2006, so that was a HUGE oversight. Sonnen was pretty smart to recognize that Silva, who has been hailed as the best MMA fighter pound for pound, had a huge weakness. So, I'm tickled pink that Silva did win by submission over Sonnen in the end, but kudos for Sonnen for giving him a HARD won fight! I smell a rematch!

And last...take a look at the photo above....this is why I love Tim Tebow.....he is humble enough to withstand some rookie hazing (take notes Dez Bryant). He looks so cute! LOL

Just Gotta Take One Last Jab at Favre!

Beyond the fact that he is acting indecisive and feeble-minded these past two years, here's more proof that Favre is just too old to be playing football: analysts believe that he put on this fiasco about "retiring" JUST to get out of going to camp!! That's right Brett "lazy bones jones" Favre just may have wanted to buy enough time to sit on his cheeks and not workout with the rest of the hardworking NFL players out there! He wanted to waltz into pre-season football all rested up, straight from the farm. Well, if this is true, good LORD this guy is a basket case! Does anyone else suspect he has some type of personality disorder? Or maybe aspergers? He just doesn't seem to know how to be socially correct. Brett, buddy, listen, when you're an old, irrelevent football player, YOU RETIRE! That's the regular order of business, got that?! And shame on the Vikings organization for supporting his age-related hysteria. Man, I see that middle-age crisis hits some guys HARRRRRD! Hey Favre, here's going out with a BUST, cheerio! :P

Say It Ain't So!!!

Rumor has it that Brett "dinosaur bones" Favre has signed a deal with the Minnesota Vikings!! NOOOOOO! This news comes shy of one month where he announced that he would stay retired. It's only a rumor at this point, but sources have outted the news saying the deal has already been signed. And Favre did fly out to Minnesota today for some odd reason....Egads! This man is 39 years old and is pretty much set to be entered into the NFL Hall of Fame IF HE WOULD JUST STAY RETIRED LONG ENOUGH!! Good lord...what do we have to do to keep this guy away from the NFL and keep him retired??? Does his wife and kids bore him THAT much?! :(

Good Riddance! Favrewell!

Whew! That was a close one. I thought we were gonna have to deal with Brett Favre's attention-whoring for ANOTHER football season! But, praise be to the football gods, Favre has decided to stay retired. Don't get me wrong, he did his thing in his football career. He inspired a lot of up and coming players and set many standards for quarterbacks in the league. But when a man has to know when he has contributed all that he can to the cause. He has to quit while he's ahead before he tarnishes his legend and makes himself look like a bafoon! Too many times, athletes have retired and come back only to make fools of themselves. Such names as, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Mike Tyson, and others. Now, I can't say that Favre made a fool out of himself when he retired and then decided to come back to play last year. He didn't do horribly, but he didn't do much of anything worth supporting his legend either. Listen to these career stats: TD: 464 - 310, 65,127 yards passed, and a quarterback rating of 85.4! That's darn good! Hey, the man gave 17 seasons of his life to the NFL. Now it's time to focus on his family and nurse his body back to health. And it's not like he's exactly ready to join AARP, he's still a young man (only 39), there's plenty more he can do. So hats off to Mr. Favre, and Happy Retirement!
