WR's


I mean who knows the difference between a WR and Flanker? The Slot and the Wide Out ? These guys who are between 5'6" and 6'5" and all they do is pretty boy shit. I mean they are not in the trenches. Randy Moss has not went over the middle since I was in middle school yet and still he has the noteriety of Paris Hilton. WR's have sex tapes and they garner all the attention for nothing. I must admit with the affulence of the spread offense, I would presume that the WR is as popular as the jerhi curl in the 1980's. But I refuse to feed into the hype, I mean look at the jobs of wide outs; crack back blocks and half ass runblocking versus guys who are more often than not on an island.

If a Linebacker gets blown up on any given play he is wrote off as a pussy where as a wide out can catch one pass per game and be a star. Think of prominent wide outs in the NFL, Randy Moss and T.O. they are good as they come and they may have a game with only 2 catches. Let a Linebacker such as Tyrell Suggs or Shawne Merriman have two tackles they are "slipping" and need to step it up . WR's are the fly boys on the fringes of society that get the credit for all the work with minimal work. Let me subtract the hard worker types such as Hines Ward or Wes Welker who lay it on the line every week and earn thier notoriety as the gentleman they are. Im talking about the Calvin Johnson's and the Randy Moss' of the world who do nothing and recieve stellar paychecks for their existences as front men.

I would love to see these guy as a DT where the real "work" is or even a more comparable positon as Tight End. All the glitz and glamour would stop immediatley. So to conclude, I say STFU and "do work son" and hopefully fans will realize that it takes more than one diving catch to win a heisman and more than surreal TD antics to be a star. Willis McGahee and may the lord bless his soul Sean Taylor keep up the good work. Any USC incumbent wide out whose worth is ill recieved get your weight up and put down the arrogant undeserved swag and hit the weights. Do some run blocking and get a life. Ill be patiently waiting for a wideout besides Hines Ward to do something that is more than glamorized fluff. Have a nice day.

Brett Favre Is All Ya Got My Dude...


Young CJ,

I commend you on a such a riveting blog post on what YOU think Mr. Favre should do.

I'm gonna play a game, my name is Ted Thompson, I am the general manager of the Green Bay Packers. Basically I decided who plays for the team and who doesn't. Winning is not the only thing it is everything, and for those that don't believe it, the great Sean Carter once said,

"Nice guys finish last with their special set of rules."

I have a business to run and that is to put the best players on a team that give this team the best chance to win. Who gives the Packers a better chance to win....Aaron "I've never played a full season Rodgers" or Brett "Dan Marino secretly hates me" Favre. No one said being the GM of one of the greatest sports franchises of all-time was going to be easy. I already dropped the ball once when I froze and gave Brett the cold shoulder while I was on vacation, which I basically used as a stall tactic to get my thoughts in order. Brett had one of the single greatest seasons of his career, led us to within one game of the Super Bowl, therefore why in the world wouldn't I welcome him back with open arms as the STARTING quarterback of the Green Bay Packers.

Okay, so he retired. The man has a right to change his mind like a woman has the right to make a man wait 45 minutes after the first time she said she was ready to leave the house. Bottom line is Brett gives your team a better chance of winning NOW than Aaron Rodgers does.

Young Clayborne brought up the point of Brett Favre's woeful season two years ago. It was woeful because Brett Favre has guts. Guts to risk it all to win it all. How much help did he have, none. Inexperienced wide receivers, an inconsistent running game, and a defense that ranked 25th in ppg in 2006. 2007 rolls around, defense improved, receivers, have confidence and lookie here, Brett Favre had one of his best seasons.

The Packers haven't won a Super bowl in 11 years. Titletown USA you say? Win now Brett Favre. Win later....MAYBE, Aaron Rodgers, because they didn't draft Brian Brohm for nothing.

Leave comments.....holla at me.....

Brett Favre should hang up his cleats for good. Im tired of the superstar athlete wearing out his welcome with the American public. I view this from two different perspectives. The first being that if you are going to prolong your career then do so in a manner that does not negatively take away from the team dynamic. I think a great example of this is Dana Stubblefield. He played defensive tackle played for the San Francisco 49ers for more than a decade and then gracefully bowed out of the game he loved with no regrets and no "drama" relating as to wether he would return to "regain" stardom. Even the great Michael Jordan "stayed out past sundown" in relation to his career moving on to the Washington Wizards and essentially tarnishing his career and reputation by continuing a career that had long burned out. Even to this day the last memory that you remember "Mike" by is his last jumper for the Chicago Bulls against the Utah Jazz to win the NBA championship. How many highlights do you see of him as a Wizard? Do not answer that question verbally instead consider the truth to yourself.

The point of this post is not to demean stars that reach end of their careers and continue playing. The point of this blog is to reprimand Brett Favre for taking away from the due process or should I say the essential right of every professional sports organization; which is to proceed after the retirement of a star without the inherent stress of an undue return of an individual whose brightest light has long burned out. Does Aaron Rodgers deserve to "look over his shoulder" after every incomplete pass. Do the viciously loyal Packer faithful have to wonder if Brett is going to return with his always neatly scruff beard at halftime of every game for the next two years? The answer is no Brett Farve should do his ego and the Green Bay Packers a favor and continue fishing the deltas of Mississippi and leave his career where he left it at a hall of fame level.

I mean before his recent revival was he not being reprimanded for his horrid play before last season. Brett Favre does have the honor of holding the all time NFL interceptions record. This may be a testament to how good he was surviving in a cut throat league long enough to break such a record. Brett Favre, you have your super bowl title, you retired on your own terms, and do us all a favor stay retired and let dead dogs lie.
