It’s that time of year again.  Brett Favre can’t make up his mind about whether or not he wants to retire from the National Football League.  The first-ballot Hall-of-Famer is coming off one of his best seasons, both in terms of his personal statistics and the television ratings he inspired, while playing for the Minnesota Vikings last year, and the team nearly made it to the Super Bowl.  Favre might be the key needed to finally push that team over the edge, assuming he stays.  According to some, Favre has been texting teammates, saying he was ready to finally retire.  Others aren’t so sure.

Either way, once again, the Vikings have to wait on their quarterback to pretend he doesn’t know whether he wants to come back and play football so he can skip training camp without looking lazy.  “I’m not a big hearsay person,” said Vikings coach Brad Childress during his daily media appearance at Vikings camp in Mankato, Minnesota.  “I’m a horse-say person.  I’ve got to hear it from the horse’s mouth.”

As for the horse in question, Brett Favre isn’t talking (but he is singing “Pants on the Ground” somewhere in Mississippi).

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
