Favre to retire?
Don’t be surprised. And honestly, don’t be surprised when he comes back in May desperately wanting to keep playing the game. In my opinion, Favre needs to call it good. He’s had his run, and it’s time to bow out, gracefully. Well, as gracefully as he still can. To be quite honest, he doesn’t have too much of his dignity left, but his season with the Vikings has...
“Probably the most fatigued I got today was celebrating.”

Pshhtttt. Rubbing it in the Cowboys face? You’re so cool lame, Favre. Just because you win doesn’t mean you need to be a jerk about it. Just sayin’….

A couple years after his firing from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Bill Callahan has come out a better man. Once the enemy of so many Husker fans, it is hard not to like Bill now. Let’s face it - he’s good at what he does.
I’m aware that it has been a rough couple of years between Nebraska and Bill Callahan. Whether a relationship between the two is salvageable, I...

Regardless of how you feel about the Tiger Woods’ scandal, I’m happy to finally see some support behind the golfer. Federer may be one voice in a crowds of thousands, but good for him. Sure, Tiger’s personal life was a crappy one, but I liked him as a golfer and I...

Mark McGwire - It has been a day and I really care could care less. He may or may not get into the Hall of Fame, whatever. Who was honestly surprised?
Pete Carroll - Alright, I know, I’ve given a fair amount of my own attention to this hooplah, but I’m starting to get a little tired of hearing about it. To add my two cents, Carroll is abandoning USC. He was a king with that team,...

Let’s all get real. This is NOT news. Like everyone didn’t have a hunch that McGwire wasn’t 100% natural. I’m just saying.

37-21.
For awhile there, I actually thought we might have a ball game on our hands. With Colt McCoy injured, Texas relied heavily on Garrett Gilbert to bring them a victory. High expectations for a second-string quarterback who had never had a SINGLE snap in his college career at Texas.
But tonight, we watched Gilbert grow up. He wasn’t perfect, and he threw a few too many iffy passes....

A lot has been going on over the last few days in sports, especially in college football. I’ve taken some time and have compiled a list of the things I’ve been paying attention to:
Mike Leach - Fired. Can’t say I didn’t see that one coming. I am a bit shocked Texas Tech jumped to this conclusion so quickly, seeing as everything they had to go off of was complete...
