The New York Daily News is not fooled by Brett Favre. They think it means something that Favre asked for his release from the Jets after the drafting of Mark Sanchez, namely, that Favre was still contemplating a return to the team in the event they hadn’t resolved their quarterback situation by camp. Indeed, a [...]

The Great DJax/JMac Debate
Written by Scott Tunstall | April 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Inside the Iggles (Eagles)
While basking in the glory of a perceived “A” 2009 NFL draft, I keep reading and hearing naysayers comparing first-round pick Jeremy Maclin to last year’s second-round pick DeSean Jackson. Actually, it’s not so much comparing as it is declaring they are the same player. There is no difference between the two. All they do [...]

Brett Favre is No Longer a Jet. How Will He Look in Purple?
Written by Dan Zinski | April 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Pacman Jonesin'
The New York Jets have elected to grant Brett Favre his release, rather than keep him on the reserve/retired list where he was only taking up precious cap money they need to sign first-round draft pick Mark Sanchez. Of course, serial vacillator Favre insists – for now – that this was not a prelude to [...]

Written by Dan Zinski | April 29, 2009 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)
Greg A. Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel just posted on Twitter – who the hell needs newspapers and blogs and all that inconvenient stuff anymore – that, according to Packers sources, there has been “no thawing” of the relationship between the newly-released Brett Favre and Packers G.M. Ted Thompson, the man Favre bullied into trading [...]
Bill Belichick isn?t Satan?
Written by Dan Zinski | April 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Pacman Jonesin'
Ellis Hobbs isn’t bitter at Bill Belichick for unexpectedly trading him to the Eagles for two draft picks – in fact, Hobbs went out of his way during an appearance on ESPN to insist that Belichick isn’t actually the heartless figure he is perceived to be. “Bill gets a hard time amongst the media, amongst [...]
Putting it All Together, For One Day at Least
Written by Dan Zinski | April 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Cubbies Crib (Cubs)
Despite playing without Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez, the Cubs managed to pound out 11 runs on 15 hits in beating the Diamondbacks. Carlos Zambrano, who has been falling into the pattern of inconsistency that plagued him late last season, picked a good night for one of his stronger performances, allowing 3 runs on 8 [...]

Written by Dan Zinski | April 29, 2009 | Comments Off | Pacman Jonesin'
Everyone knows that, when a player is seriously injured, proper announcer ettitquette is to recite inanities in a somber voice, and basically act like the guy was just ripped apart by a grizzly bear in front of you and now his parts are strewn all over the field. Apparently, Matt Vasgersian did not get the [...]

Written by Dan Zinski | April 29, 2009 | Comments Off | The Viking Age (Vikings)
This is going to make some people very happy and others very exasperated (via the Newark Star-Ledger):
Amid chatter that Brett Favre is contemplating coming out of retirement yet again, the Jets announced Tuesday evening that they have released the former Green Bay Packers great from the reserve/retirement list.
The move means that Favre is now free [...]

The main reasons why the Portland Trail Blazers season remains alive? LaMarcus Aldridge stepping up in a big way, Brandon Roy leaving everything he had on the floor and a 15-0 run.
Also, they finally went out and took a game in this series.
Its Aldridge who deserves a ton of credit for his performance tonight. He [...]
