I've been watching sports for many years and every once in a while, you'll hear something that makes you chuckle. Most weeks in sports are exciting but as far as the giggles go its rather mild. This week has been a firestorm full of madness. Hilarity ensues...

Sunday Night Football

To some, Sunday is a time to unwind. To many, it is a day of worship. I spend my Sundays relaxing while praising the football gods. It is an American tradition to participate in the great sport of football. Unlike with most other sports, you do not need to physically be in the game to be a football participant. It is as much of an experience for the player as it is for the spectator. The trials and tribulations experienced by players on field translate to fan emotion off field. Therefore, for this past November's Sunday Night Football game--this  season's undefeated team to beat, the  New England Patriots took on my favorite team, the struggling Philadelphia Eagles--I decided to focus on the onlookers of the game instead of on the game itself (being a fan of the game, this was harder to do than it may seem).

He is both a unique and talented football player.  He is unique in that he plans out touchdown celebrations weeks in advance and sends Pepto Bismol to opposing defenders.  He is talented in shattering Bengals receiving records and making spectacular catches that few human beings have any business making.  He is Chad Johnson.

I've heard that there are two different times of the year.  There is football season, and there is waiting for football season.  With about 50 days left (depending on which day you read this) until the kickoff of the NFL season I thought it would be fun to list some entertaining activities to occupy your time.  Understand that these range from the mundane, to the ludicrous, to "Hey, maybe I could actually do that."  This column is all in fun and some of the activities listed should be performed at the readers own risk (of embarrassment). The following are in no particular order.

 If the reports are true, then Favre has already asked to be released from Green Bay. Finally! It's not that I'm happy that the our Star MVP Quarterback is leaving, but at least now another team has to deal with this crap!

By David J. Cohen

Recently NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell came out and said it is "ridiculous" for players like Jake Long to make boatloads of money without proving themselves in the NFL. He said "There's something wrong with the system, the money should go to people who perform."

Favre's Comeback Good For Green Bay In Long Run? I Don't Believe So.

     "He has the itch...," mentioned Al Harris, a guest host on ESPN's NFL Live this Wednesday, when asked about Brett Favre's potential comeback. He went on to say about Aaron Rodgers, "We embrace Aaron. We support Aaron. Aaron is our quarterback. Brett is retired, but if he wants to come back, there will be some guys that wouldn't mind it." Chris Mortensen of ESPN also reported that Favre had made Head Coach McCarthy aware of his "itch" to play. "Mort" also reported that a source in Green Bay made him aware that Favre's family is pushing him to return. Personally, I don't think he's going to return, but I'd be lying if I told you it wouldn't make me happy to see him back. I just don't believe it benefits Green Bay in the long run.
