He used to be one of my favorite baseball players. The king of the three-run Jimmy Jack. Leader of the Oakland clubhouse.

Attention Must Be Paid
In a wonderful moment from the play Death of a Salesman; Willy Loman states simply “Attention must be paid.” On November 29th 2004 Brett Favre made his 200th consecutive start at quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. This is easily the most impressive streak going in sports. It is irresistible to write the article on this story, because it couldn’t happen to a better guy. Brett Favre represents everything good in professional sports; he has played virtually every down of his career with one franchise. Like Willy, Brett isn’t flashy, he isn’t outrageous. He’s simply the fiercest competitor in football, attention must be paid.
It sits for everything good in amateur athletics and stands for what is bad.
It collects billions of dollars for its athletes struggles and gives out billions of words to bring down athletes who did nothing wrong.

California- Here We Come
By Ryan McGowan
I’ve been humming the same bars of music for weeks now. If I knew anything about notes and melodies, I could easily play it on a piano. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, mindlessly flubbing unintelligible lyrics, but the song is always the same.
Here is this week’s Power Rankings. Hey Sixer Fans, appreciate the feedback.
I showed you guys some love this week. Note, the Power Rankings are completed before Tuesday’s games.
Sorry for the long wait since the last Post-Up Play, but I’ve been extremely busy as of late. It sure is a long journey to make it off this couch.

A new record
But now there is even a more embarrassing situation for an SEC coach. No, it is not an affair. No, it is not a false hiring. No, it isn’t even an NCAA rules violation.

Week 12 NFL Power Rankings
Things are just as muddled this week as they’ve always been. We see four legitimate contenders (Pit, NE, Phi, Ind) and a handful of teams that might or might not be frauds. The rest of the teams are unbearable to watch. The NFL should be ashamed for making us watch Krenzel vs Henson on everyone’s favorite holiday.
Football fans remember Dale Hackbart as a defensive back who played for the Green Bay Packers, Washington Redskins, Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Cardinals, and Denver Broncos from 1960 through 1973. However, things could have been extremely different. He could have been known today as a prominent major league baseball player. Hackbart spent a season playing baseball for the Grand Forks, North Dakota Chiefs, a Class C minor league team in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization.
