2008 Pro Bowl selections were announced today, and what do you know? The New York Jets lead the NFL with seven players in the Pro-Bowl including Mr. Brett Favre, who will be making his 10th Pro Bowl appearance.
The New York Football Giants will be represented by an NFC-leading six players at this year's Pro Bowl. This will be Eli Manning's first Pro Bowl, but it will be his brother Peyton's eleventh. This is the first time two brother quarterbacks will play in the same game. Check out the full NFC roster here and the AFC selections here.
I am happy to report that a Jets vs Giants match up in Superbowl XLIII is totally in the realm of possibility.
Don't hate!

Speaking Of Things That Make Me Laugh
This past weekend saw the Packers secure an early end to their football season and the New York Jets keep plugging away in hopes of continuing on to the post season.
Told y'all to let Brett play 'til he was damn good and ready to quit.

Want To Sleep In Brett Favre's Bed?
Ladies, I know he's a little older now, but even I can admit (as a totally heterosexual male) that Brett Favre is a good looking guy. I mean how else would be get a wife that hot? Oh wait...nevermind he's Brett Favre. Anyway, you can now sleep in Brett Favre's bed, kind of...
Brett is selling his football season home in Green Bay that he and his wife Deanna bought in 2005.

Brett Comes To Broadway
I could not believe my eyes and ears when Stars called me with the news! I turned on ESPN right away and there it was in black and white: Brett Favre traded to the New York Jets.
HOLY MOLY! It's so strange to see him in that green and white jersey! I do think this will be a great move for Brett. He can finish his illustrious career in a city that's worthy of him, and a damn good city, if I do say myself! If you can make it here, well, you know the rest. Congrats to Brett for finally making it through all this drama and finally getting a resolution that he's happy with.
All of the above was my opinion as a football fan and someone who respects the football icon that is Mr. Brett Favre. Below is my opinion as a Giants fan :)
WHAT THE HELL?!?! THIS IS BULLSHIT! The New York Giants are THE New York football team. Our city, our stadium. The Jets are coming off a total embarrassment of a season, while the Giants have claimed the greatest upset in Superbowl history. And yet, at the start of the preseason, because of this whole Favre thing, the Jets are what everyone is talking about! Frankly, I'm a little bitter. Brett Favre just walks into New York, schmoozes with the Mayor and thinks he own's the place. We Giants fans want to focus on A. what matters and B. what we do best, and that's PLAYING FOOTBALL. If the Jets want to compete for New York bragging rights, then let's do it.
It's ON Favre!
Wow, that felt good to get out. HAHA.

MVP of the Week - Brett Motherf*ckin' Favre
I previously had strayed away as I felt this Brett Favre story was being overdone. But today I decided, Brett is a goddamn legend. He is possibly the greatest QB to ever play the game and I will report on him until I am blue in the face if I feel like it. And frankly, this week (like many, MANY other weeks in his career), Brett has earned the honor of MVP of the week. Let me shed a little light on new reasons why Brett is the unparalleled king of the pigskin.
Not only is Brett a 3 time AP MVP, the wearer of a Super Bowl ring, and holder of countless NFL records, but he maintains the one characteristic most important to me in players that I love. Simply put, the man loves the game. And that warms my heart and makes me want to flip off the Packers office management and their fans.
How many people do you know that would be offered 20 MILLION DOLLARS to sit their ass at home and would turn it down, for the love of the game? If someone out there wants to give me 5 bucks, I promise not to leave the couch. But not Brett. He is the embodiment of the game.
And now that it's looking unlikely that Brett will be returning to the Pack (good riddance to them!), you can bet your bottom dollar that the Ladies of LLR will be rocking that #4 Favre jersey, no matter what color it is. Cuz it doesn't matter where the stadium is, you are always in Brett's house.
LVP of the Week
Green Bay Packers, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. Tell me what you guys are smoking up there in Wisconsin - and then send some my way. I mean, SERIOUSLY. Please, give me a good reason why you won't move forward with Brett Favre at the helm of your team. I'm waiting...
TIME'S UP. There is NO good reason for this debacle to be taking place. In your hands you have the man that most analysts, athletes, and fans consider the best QB to EVER play the game. This is the same man who has countless NFL records and awards, lead you to a Superbowl win in '97, and brought you only one game away from the big dance just last season. WHY IS HE NOT YOUR STARTING QUARTERBACK?
I understand wanting to move forward and build for the future of your team with Aaron Rodgers, but REALLY. At this point, Aaron would be most helpful playing sponge and sucking up every piece of QB knowledge he can get until his turn comes around. The fact of the matter is, the second Brett Favre said "Hey guys, I think I want to come back" you should have said, "Yeah? We'll then we will all sit down with Aaron, get on the same page, and then let's DO THIS!" It's that simple. As your friend and mine, Ms. Stars said so eloquently, "Unless the new QB was sent straight from God to Lambeau, he should sit on the bench until Brett no longer feels like playing!"
I couldn't have put it better myself.
Anything less is just disrespectful. You don't disrespect a legend that way! When Michael Jordan came out of retirement, the Chicago Bulls didn't say "Thanks for the Three-peat, but we're gonna go ahead with Ron Harper, so we don't need you. Peace." OF COURSE NOT. They got on their knees, bowed down to His Airness and said "Thank you for blessing us with your presence on this team!" And we all know that he blessed them with ANOTHER THREE-PEAT before retiring for again. What's the lesson here, Packers? Don't look a legend gift horse in the mouth.
Come on, Green Bay! FIX THIS. It's not too late! In the meantime, you are so well deserving of this week's LVP award, its not even funny.

On the Favre Bandwagon
OK, other than maybe the Madonna/Cynthia/A-Rod story, the "What in the Sam Hill is Brett Favre doing?" is the most talked about topic in sports right now. I have strayed away from reporting on it thus far as there isn't much to say that hasn't already been said and said 'til everyone is sick of hearing about it. However, driving to work yesterday, I had on my local rock station and they were talking about something I found hysterical. So I bring to you my two cents on the Favre soap opera.
EA Games is pissed. And more importantly, John "How many turkey legs can I put on this bird?" Madden is pissed. And I can't stop laughing. Fine, Brett. You've enraged Ted Thompson and you have created a war between the Packers and the Vikings. All of this, I can accept. But when you manage to piss off a video game, you are undeniably out of control. (And I say this with all the love in the world, because Mama Stars might disown me if I speak an ill word of Brett.)
Every year, it seems something goes wrong with the cover of the Madden game. So much so, that a large portion of the football population believes in the Madden cover curse. And believe me, it's a lot scarier than all the things that go bump in the night. Many players have seen declines in performance and injuries post receiving this "honor". He even had Michael Vick on the cover one year and I think we all know how that turned out.
So this year, Johnny Boy goes for the safe choice. Someone in retirement who has nothing to fear of injury or declining stats. Someone who won't possibly get traded so the cover remains relevant. Nothing can go wrong, right? Wrong. He's done it again. John Madden has managed to actually pull Brett Favre out of retirement so he can (most likely) face a season of injury and really tarnishing his legacy.
And they're mad at him? If I were Brett, I would be pissed at their asses. He probably has no control over his own actions since his cover debut. Poor Bretty boy.
