Favre Jersey sets record


First day sales for Favre's Jets Jersey broke 7,000, setting a new record.

Favre will start for the Jets Saturday against Washington

I doubt this will be pretty, jumping into a new system after only one week of practice. Maybe it will serve to temper expectations. Then when he gets comfortable in the regular season he can wow everyone.

Madden will have two Brett Favre covers


EA sports has announced that they will release Madden 09 as scheduled, with Brett Favre on the cover... as a Packer. If you would like your game case to show Brett in his new, record setting, Jets jersey, a download will be offered, that you can slip in the case over, or replacing, the original cover.

Time to cross out the "Green" on your Brett Favre jersey and replace it with "Tampa." According to the Journal Sentinel and SaveBrett.net Tampa Bay and Green Bay have agreed on a trade for Brett. "A source close to Brett Favre" has been cited as the source. Close, but not accurate.

Best preseason game ever?


Year after year we get hyped up for the first preseason game of the year - the hall of fame game. "Yeah, football is finally back!" And then we have to endure a game of missed blocks, bad tackling, holding penalties, dropped passes and yellow flags everywhere. Usually I turn off the game I've waiting for weeks to watch by halftime. This years Redskins - Colts game was looking like more of the same. The biggest offensive stars on both sides - Manning and Portis weren't even playing. But man what a game. Maybe three flags the whole game? Some great runs. And watching Colt Brennan for the Redskins was magical, too early to say if he'll even make the team, but he looked like a future hall of famer tonight.

The Wacky Green Bay Soap Opera: Brett and Grant will be back along with Bush's press secretary

If it isn't obvious to everyone already, I am a Packers fan. And that is a VERY hard thing to be these days, especially THIS day. Green Bay has flip-flopped again, and will welcome Favre back, and let him compete for the starting job - does anyone not know how that will turn out? They also caved to Ryan Grant, and gave him the big bucks. For some reason I thought they were going to be reasonable, and make him prove himself first. He was fun to watch last year... well fun until the Giants game, and then he was unbearable. Perhaps the biggest news is they hired former Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer, in related news they tried to hire Kenneth Lay as their accountant, but he had other commitments, mainly being dead.
Green Bay doesn't practice Monday, so Tuesday will be Favre and Grant's first practice, they do have an open scrimmage Sunday night, it will be interesting in Brett makes an appearance then.
