 Mats Sundin vs. Brett Favre: One is worse - Toronto Maple Leafs Humor and Analysis Blog  Links3
Both guys are icons in their cities, arguably the best player their team has ever had, and heroes to thousands. Both are respected by fellow players, the media, and even by fans of other teams. Both guys have spent the summer playing a game of "should I stay or should I go" that's essentially handcuffed their current teams attempt's to build for the future.

Don't Look Back, Mats...

... soap opera to end. Everyone who reads (I won't say it, Greener, and where the fuck are you man?) this weblog knows how I feel about Mats.

Mats can play the ...
