Source Reveals Brett Favre Is Who We Thought He Is

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 20:41:43 +1900

There has always been this perception that Brett Favre is a gunslinger. That he’s a player that marches to his own tune. But, I never knew exactly what that meant. How much does he improvise? Does he really just go out there and do whatever he wants? A source of Yahoo! Sports’ Jason Cole weighs in: “Brett is a sandlot guy.

Meet Bitchy the Hawk

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 02:56:00 +1900

I really don't know why I'm posting this, probably because there's been no posts today, but I saw something interesting during the MLS All-Star Game broadcast that I wanted to share. But, that's Rob Stone (I did my own picture work!) holding "Bitchy the Hawk." I think that's how Toronto FC spells it. Apparently he, or is it a she...?, keeps the seagulls away. Rob was absolutely scared to ...

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 08:00:33 +1900
