What the hell is Brett Favre doing?  He does know he's a professional football player and not a professional boxer, doesn't he?  It sure seems like Don King or Bob Arum is running his career and not a professional sports agent. Hey Brett, you can't just retire and un-retire whenever you feel like it. There's this thing called a Salary Cap in the NFL and it's not easy to fit your $12,000,000 contract in and out of the Packers financial model whenever you feel like it.   Like my Great Grandmother Daisy used to say, "Sh*t or get off the pot." 

Come on Favre, you're a first ballot Hall of Famer. This is nonsense. Stop it Brett! Stop embarassing yourself, please. You've been pulling the Packers crank around for over three years. You've been lying to us all along.  Those rumors that have circulated for months about your agent sniffing around various teams are all true.  Stop lying to us Favre, not everyone went to college at Southern Mississippi.  You might even have won a Super Bowl last year had you not scared Green Bay with another supposed retirement and forced them into drafting Aaron Rodgers in the first place.  They wasted a first round draft pick on a QB when they desperately needed help on defense.  Thanks. Yes, top brass made a mistake by not signing Randy Moss before last season but so did a bunch of other teams. Besides, you have some solid receivers right now. Not great WR's but that's not why you lost to the NY Giants in the NFC Championship game at home.  Fumbles and interceptions cost you that game and we all know who threw that duck in overtime that led to the Giant's winning FG.

If Brett Favre does come back and play in the NFL next season, he should wear number 10 like he wore during his pony league football days (see picture above). Brett Favre is acting like a child so he should wear his childhood number, 10. 

The only explanation for Brett Favre's recent behavior is he really doesn't like someone at the top of Green Bay Mgmt and this was his plan all along. Such a bad way to end his career in Green Bay. I've always been a huge Brett Favre fan but not if I see him wearing Viking purple or any other uniform besides the Packers yellow & green.

Probably only two more years until Michael Vick is on the market.  Laugh but Shoot Doggie Dog has won more playoff games in Green Bay than any QB on the Packers roster.    

If Brett Favre somehow does sign with the Minnesota Vikings will Green Bay still retire his #4 jersey when the Vikings open the season at Lambeau Field?  Never mind.

I can't make fun of anyone for wearing too much July 4th flair or dressing there dog up like Uncle Sam because I just watched the last 8 1/2 minutes plus OT of Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. Today we should be celebrating the Declaration of Independence and instead we're celebrating the declaration of being the most obese country in the world by eating as many hot dogs as we can in 10 minutes.

Were there Regional events at  local Hometown Buffets to come up with the Final table? Probably.

So I watched the contest and we all had to listen to the announcer speaking as though we were watching USA beat Russia in hockey, seriously.  Why wasn't this event on the Food Channel?  We have so many channels these days, why not a Fat Channel.  Fat styles, more fattening foods. Fattest recipes. Sexiest fat person.  Why not a new reality show called Biggest Winner?  You know, you have 30 days to gain the most weight; add the most cellulite. If it goes OT, they count chins.  Hey Simon Cowell, just have your people email my people.

So I watched the hot dog eating contest and you know what?  Kobayashi got robbed.  He won that event, not Chestnut, by about 1/5 of a dog in regulation.  Like Kobe even had a chance. A guy named Joey Chestnut losing a close decision on Coney Island.   American vs. Asian on the 4th of July. Yeah, that was going to happen. And you thought Kobe Bryant couldn't get a call in Boston.  Kobayashi was down a dog before the event even started, at least.

So a dog off to decide the Champ? First thru 5 hot dogs wins, are you kidding?  I'm going to write the National Hot Dog Eating Association or whoever has jurisdiction over this event.  You tie after 10 minutes, you go 30 more minutes. That's when I'll start Tivo-ing it. The David Stern Hot Dog guy needs to step in a fix this rule now. They don't need a five dog side car sprint, they need an extra 30 minutes in OT. And while they're at it, no more water.  You get Coke, Pepsi, beer or milkshake. No water.  Who has a glass of water with a hot dog anyways?  I watch NASCAR to see a crash and I really only tune into hot dog eating contests because I want to see somebody blow chucks (time to rent Stand by Me again).  

Sorry about the heart breaking loss Kobayashi but anyone that slams 59 dogs in 10 minutes could care less about their heart.

Guess it's time to ebay my Takero Kobayashi Rookie Card.

Happy 4th of July, eat up America.

Yeah, I know this is a sports blog.  We should be talking about the Lakers or Dodgers or some dead hot rodder but I can't.  I'm numb, my favorite comedian died.  George Carlin passed away Sunday from a bad ticker. 

George Carlin was a flat out genius. I saw him perform live twice in my life.  Once when I was about 22 years old.  I saw him at some small Orange County theatre.  Too bad I was so young and had to get all loaded that night. I had a great time but woke up hardly remembering a bit.  Last year he was rehearsing for an HBO Special and my wife & I saw him perform live at The Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach.  He stood up there with notes by his side & I didn't give a ratt's ****.  He still made us laugh. He went in even darker directions but we still ended cracking up.

I liked just about everything he did, except for that Jennifer Lopez/Ben Affleck movie.  He made comedy seem so simply.  As if any guy could get up on stage and talk about life and make us all laugh.  Some comedians tell you a joke while others lead you to the joke.  George sort of squeezed the joke out of any particular topic.

I'll never have the pleasure to see him live again but I'm certain thru books and DVD's I'll be able to laugh with him for decades to come.

We already miss you you ****ing piece of **** **** **** bitch whore **** sucker.

I feel bad for Javon Walker. Ouch.  Someone going lead pipe to your eye socket has to feel below average. I also hope Javon gets his memory back because the story he's telling the cops right now about what happened last Saturday night makes O.J. Simpson seem believable.

Javon Walker is telling the police he got robbed in his room and then somebody dragged him out of the Bellagio, drove him away and then left him on the street.  What? Dude, you need to stop renting weekend at Bernie's so often.  Nobody dragged you out of that hotel.  Nobody in there right mind would carry you thru the Bellagio unconscious with a divot in your face.  Ball doesn't lie and neither does the 2,000 plus camera's located in the Bellegio-- none of which collaborate your story.

Let's take a closer look at the picture above of Javon Walker from the night in question.  I think I solved this crime in two seconds. He's dancing alone with a smile on his face.  I got it, I got it.  Javon was rolling that night.  He was on ecstasy. I'm 99.99% certain. Hey, I'm not ridiculing him for it and I'm certainly not encouraging the drug. I'm just stating the obvious. The only way you're as happy as Javon looks dancing alone in a Vegas night club at 3:30 in the morning is if you've swollowed an e tab or two 60 minutes earlier. That's all I'm saying; an open and shut case.  He was rolling on ecstasy and blacked out and then got robbed. Damn, where is your posse when you really need them?

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.... including Javon's watch and gobs of cash. Tough luck Javon but it's not too late to come clean with the truth. Paul Tagliabue might take a bit more of your jack for rolling that night but come clean buddy.  We'll respect you more for it.

Just tell us the truth, you were rolling on e tabs and have no idea how you ended up on the street looking like Stuart Scott trying to catch a football.

Let's this be a lesson to you weekend druggie's, never roll with too much bling or a bunch of cash in your pocket.  I deserve my own practice.....

This sucks.  I hate change.  I'm sure in a few weeks I'll get used to all the changes on this All Access site but right now I'm not happy.  It's like when they upgrade your local grocery store and you go back in and can't find a damn thing.  I was pissed at Vons for almost a month. I got over them changing so I'm sure I'll get over this.... in time.

I used to like how the home page would list recent posts.  That's the only way I ever saw someone elses comment.  Again maybe I'm retarded and can't find it yet.  Very possible.  It just seems like this site is less about our comments and more about ad space. A shocker, huh.

Maybe they should rename this website to All Advertising.
