... Elsewhere (and much to my distaste), the state of Wisconsin has become the fulcrum point for the American sports world these past few weeks. Of course, you have the never-ending Days Of Our Lives-esque melodrama that is Brett Favre and the Packers (now complete with text messaging!),  the Brewers trading their future away for C.C.

... I was admittedly torn when he officially announced to be his retirement, which appears now to be a flimsy decision. Favre is the only Packers quarterback I've ever really known. But at the same time I, like many fans and the Packers organization, moved on from what was a Hall of Fame career and prepared for the Aaron Rodgers era. ...

Hating the Patriots is more fun than hating anyone else Hating the Yankees just isn’t as much fun when they aren’t good. Bill Belichick is sports' biggest villain, a criminal so dirty, so surly, that childhood hated can return for even the most mature fans. 7. No more Favre! Wait a second… 6. The return of Pacman ...

But here's one thing that should happen: Aaron Rodgers should ask for a trade. > Favre is already text messaging Packers GM Ted Thompson, and Rodgers should be next, with: "Wnt 2 b trded." > So if Favre does come back and play in a Packers uniform, Rodgers should ...
