Favre From Over



Um, yall do know Brett Favre is coming back next year right?

After being hit with a hefty fine calmly being asked to hand over $50,000, stemming from the findings from Roger Goddell and his investigative reporters for the whole Jenn Sterger debacle, this year has pretty much been Favre's WORST YEAR EVER. A lot of people believed him when he told time that this would be his last year. I did as well.

That was until his season was full of disasters, over and over. Syndey Rice not being healthy, the injuries, the voice-mails and dick pics being sent, and even the collapse of the roof at the stadium. This was FAR from what we thought he would deliver. Being one play away from the Super Bowl last year, we thought the Vikes would be a team to be reckoned with. That was wrong. If you think Brett Favre will not come back and redeem his legacy, even at 42, you'll see. Just wait.

Just mark my words, next summer we will be discussing if he is returning or not. That along with the Lakers 3rd title in a row. #LakeSHOW baby.

Paul Pierce Comments After South Beach Visit


Now, being a Laker fan, I'm not the biggest fan of Paul Pierce, but I will say THIS TWEET after their victory over the Miami Heat, it made me like HATE him a little less. You must admit, this is kinda funny.

Cam Newton; Super Ugly.



It seems like EVERY MORNING we wake up to more and more news about Auburn's Heisman hopeful quarterback, Cam Newton. Last Friday a man admitted that he sought payment on behalf on Cam Newton and his father from Mississippi State. This past Monday, it was reported that he was caught cheating on test while attending Florida University.

Although he and his father have denied these allegations, more findings are being brought to the table. I really feel like it's only a matter of time before all the information comes out. If anything was offered or negotiated, they need to bring it out now instead of waiting until five years from now like Reggie Bush. I guess it's all about the Heisman. I believe the reports. Sad as it may be, I think money had to be involved. Where there's smoke, there's a fire.

Your thoughts?

Reggie, Reggie, Reggie

Over the last few weeks, Reggie Bush has been under fire about the Heisman Trophy award and whether he'll be able to keep it or not. I find it sad that they would even be THINKING of taking this trophy back, something they've NEVER done in it's entire history. Whether Reggie Bush took money or not, his performance was what won him the Heisman a few years ago. He was the most explosive, dominating, aggressive running back to watch that ENTIRE SEASON. He deserves it.

Why Lebron will be the next Kobe

See that message above? Yes, this is not the Lebron James we are use to seeing but it's the one we need to get use to, and even myself, who is NOT the biggest Lebron fan, likes where this is going. I will tell you why I say LEBRON WILL BE THE NEXT KOBE.

Why I agree with Albert Haynesworth
and YOU should too

Over the past few weeks I haven't been able to escape this story, especially living in the DC Metropolitan Area. We've all heard the story on how Albert has missed OTAs and is now declaring that he wants to be traded, mostly because the defense scheme has changed to a 3-4 instead of the 4-3 that he's comfortable with. Adding the fact that he played like COMPLETE GARBAGE last year, it really doesn't help that more than a week ago he collected a check from 21 more MILLION DOLLARS.

Alot of people have spoke out about how selfish this act was. Some coaches, radio personalities also criticized Albert for acting in such a manner. The latest came yesterday from teammate, Lorenzo Alexander, who says, "To me, it comes across as being very selfish. You've been paid to play football, not a 4-3, not a 3-4, just football."

Now this is where I come in with my own opinion, but who am I? To me, Albert WAS paid to play with a certain defensive scheme. He directly told his agent when negotiating contracts, "I do not want to go to a team that plays 3-4!" That is what his agent sought after. Snyder however; came and through all this money at Haynesworth and said "Yes" to everything Albert wanted as long as he signed with the Redskins. I agree that was an AWFUL contract, but then again, how many of us would turn down 100M?

With saying that, I say this. He was paid to play a certain position, in a certain defense. Now that things have changed, is it wrong for him to feel as he wants to opt out? I don't think so. If I was contracted for three years to be the manager of McDonalds and upon the second year they moved me to 'MOP DUTY,' Im going, "Heeeey, something's not right here. I want OUT!" Sure you would do the same or I would hope.

Sally Jenkins, Washington Post Columnist, writes an amazing article on Albert Haynesworth and how things should be worked out.

Here's an excerpt where she compares this to a similar situation with John Elway:
"It's upsetting for fans, because of the size of Haynesworth's talent and apparent ingratitude. But it's not an uncommon standoff in the NFL. In 1983, remember, John Elway used a similar ploy when he was drafted by the Baltimore Colts, a team he refused to play for because he didn't trust them to use him right. He threatened to sit out and play baseball, and his bluff forced a trade to the Broncos. You could call that selfish, or you could call it savvy and self-protective."

If someone is stupid enough to pay me a million dollars for a weeks work, Im not stupid enough to turn it down. - Elizabeth Taylor
