11.06.09The Marble Ryan Lock of the WeekWell, I never thought my own legacy could be so closely tied to that of Brett Favre, but last Sunday, we both made tremendous strides forward with the Vikings win against the Packers. Favre once again proved that there’s no one better when it comes to looking out for #1. Or should I say #4? On a national broadcast, Favre returned to his old city to prove to everyone what a tremendous mistake it was for the Packers brass to take such a cavalier approach with their QB situation and kick the future HOFer to the curb. He did just ...

11.05.09You Know Who You Should Sit?LaDainian Tomlinson (RB – SD) It pains me to write this, as I've long been a Tomlinson supporter, even recently as other people have abandoned ship. Perhaps it was the memories of all the good times we've had in the past, but I've been able to justify to myself continuing to trust him.

11.03.09The Big Sleep(ers)I only make a trip out to the West Coast every few years, and my recent four-night vacation is the longest amount of time I can remember spending there. It takes a while to adjust to the sports schedule being moved up three hours and having every sporting event be over with by the time you go to sleep. Unlike previous years, however, I’m experiencing a very odd feeling on this trip. I’m tired much earlier in the day than I am when I’m home. I haven’t exactly been running around burning energy, but when 10:00 p.m. rolls around, I want ...
