Whodathunkit? There are a couple of legit ruminations these days where our values as a society must be balanced with actual action on the field of endeavor. Both of which are vexations.
One is what to do with Michael Vick?
Anybody who has ever had a dog or petted a dog has to think twice about this [...]
Like an old rummy, a punch drunk fighter who has lost his perspective from too many punches over too many years, Brett Favre is once again — for 4,569th time — contemplating the renounciation of his retirement.
Word is that he’s going to meet with Minnesota Viking coach Brad Childress at a super secret don’t ask [...]

. . . to jump into Derby week, he’s baaaaaaaaaack!
Okay, I know I’ve been out of town for the weekend, but, hey, deal with it. A guy’s gotta get some soft shell crab, crawfish and New Orleans gris-gris into his system for rejeuvenation. Slide guitar master John Mooney doing “Shortenin’ Bread” will free your soul, [...]
My Detroit Lions, if you recall, went 0-fer last season.
As in they played sixteen NFL football games, and won, uh, zero. As in none of them.
So the organization is looking for a way to bring about some fresh air and a new attitude, which might help mask the stench still lingering from the Matt Millen [...]
I don’t have all the details, which I know you will want as soon as I can track them down. But I can say this: The stock market slide is of little concern now. I am foregoing LEO’s offer to follow the Cards on the tournament trail to track down every final detail of the [...]

. . . is Bret Favre.
Most with some sense are saying that the former Green Bay icon is done. That this season in New York cured him of his addiction to the game. That his aches and pains and interceptions finally got to him.
I’m told however that he would play again, if he could land [...]

If you’re dyin’ to go to the Super Bowl, this may be the year to do it.
Ticket prices are down. Which doesn’t mean cheap really, just relatively so.
The NFL priced seats in the stadium at $500, $800 and $1000. Makes those U of L tickets in the new arena a bargain, doesn’t it?
Anyway, scalpers are [...]

I’m talking about Heinz Field Sunday night. Everybody knew the Steelers/ Ravens game, featuring the NFL’s two best defenses, was going to be savage and primal. It was.
Sports Illustrated’s Peter King says it’s the most brutal game he’s ever witnessed. Who am I to disagree? I bet there’s some scambled brain matter scattered on the [...]

Don’t usually spend much time with rumors here about the play-for-pay sports. We’re a college town, right? Oh, I forgot, the Best Damn College Sports Town. Excuse me, Louisville, for the slight.
Which riff has nothing to do with Marvin Harrison. He’s the Indy Colts wideout, who must be considered among the best who ever laced [...]

Don’t throw away that phone number of Theodoric of Yorick. There’s more bloodletting on the horizon. My sources tell me there are still other NFL coaches who shall find themselves in the unemployment line by the end of the month. Jerry Jones will get back to us as soon as he has just one more [...]
