The Brett Favre Phenomena

Trying to understand the phenomena that is Brett Favre. Not a new story by any means but I love the longevity of it. Every day is the same 'will he or won't he?' I personally think the Packers are in a no-win situation here. If they let him play again this year, then they are clutching on to the past, unwilling to move on. Vice-versa the organization looks like they are turning their back on a legend.

Personally I would find a strange joy in this story if Favre became a Viking. That is the storyline I am rooting for. I could see many a Packer fan go on suicide watch if Favre showed up in a purple #4. The collective laughing by all of the anti-Packer fandom in Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, San Fran, and points in between would be deafening. This would be hands the greatest, most hilarious turncoat story in the history of sport.

Sunday Morning Round-Up

Last night I watched the UFC Live fights on Spike. Anderson Silva KO'd James Irvin in 61 seconds. The two fighters were feeling each other out and Irvin threw a body kick. Silva caught it with his arm and hit Irvin dead square in the jaw. Irvin's body crumpled to the mat and Silva finished him with the obligatory face pounding. Silva is just amazing. Many facets to his game. I said yesterday that if the fight got to the mat it would be over because of Irvin's knockout power. Wow, guess I was wrong. Silva's kickboxing is solid. He is well rounded and that is why he's a rockstar in the UFC right now. Silva was very gracious in victory. Class act.

Here is the fight (Thanks YouTube)



I'm watching the British Open this morning. I'll be rooting hard for Greg Norman to win. He is obviously the story of the tournament, but I've always liked the old, wiley veterans coming back to old form. It'll be interesting to watch.

The First Entry

I'm a big fan of the blogosphere. This blog is a transfer of the myspace attempt. I'll talk about a lot of different things here. (Just read the description).

What's the happening tonight???

Just a quiet night with the kiddos watching DVDs. Once they get tucked in I'll probably watch the UFC tilt tonight on Spike. I'm really excited to see if Silva can finish Irvin. Should be an interesting fight. I expect that if Silva gets Irvin to the ground it will be over pretty quickly.
