So, while brainstorming today of ways that I can avoid boring the life out of our valued readers, I came up with an idea. (Whether it’s a good idea or not is another story for another day and, frankly, it’s up to you to decide if it’s good or if it sucks.)

The best title I could come up with was “Studs and Duds.” A simple little idea that brings to you, our valued readers (yes, I will probably say that about a dozen more times before I’m done) some of the big and not so big stories around the NFL or anywhere my internet surfing might take me. Something we can do once a week provided you don’t tell me you hate it. So, holla! Let us know what you think.

Now, it’s on with the show and our first ever installment of “Studs and Duds!” (Seriously, if you can think of a better name, please let me know.)

Brett Favre retired and made it all official and cried a river today while doing it.

I know I wasn’t exactly as kind as I should have been the other day when I first spoke of Brett’s retirement. Honestly, the media types have had their lips puckered up to Brett for years. That tends to wear on a fan who simply isn’t a fan of that player’s team.But I have to admit that Brett Favre was my kind of player. He played with the kind of passion that is missing from so many of today’s paycheck players. He’s a man’s man. He even got to appear on screen with Cameron Freaking Diaz! What man can’t respect that?

I’m honestly going to miss watching Brett Favre play. I wasn’t always rooting for his team but I was always in awe of how he played even if the announcers spent too much time kissing both his buttocks. (more…)
