Former Blue Jay’s pitcher Halladay wanted to say goodbye and thanks to his former fans, who stuck with him when he was really the only bright spot on a pretty terrible team that kept almost being half decent (the worst kind of team to root  for, in our humble opinion.)
He’s off to the Phillies, and [...]

The Twins are our favorite Little Team that Could (Maybe).With only the 23rd highest payroll in the majors, their just fun to root for, darn it
Sure, they lost last year’s one game playoff, against the White Sox, and thus ended up finishing second in their division.  But this year, we think, they can do it.

We hate to say it….but that Monday Night Football game actually lived up to the hype.
All of you who said Favre was done?  All the Jets fans–and players–who said he shoulda just stayed retired? Well, shoulda, woulda, coulda. As in, shoulda, woulda, coulda kept Favre.

Specifically, Favre has now been quoted as saying he may well “not be up for” all sixteen games this season.
Interestingly, the article under the headline on ESPN is a Favre lovefest (typical) about [...]

The turnout was pretty good, but it didn’t matter one way or another, broadcast-wise, because the closed roof [...]

We know this because we follow him on Twitter.  Twitter’s great for us, and for funny people like Simmons, because [...]

We used to love Brett Favre.  (He won the first Superbowl we remember watching, after all, and we admit to growing up singing “On, Wisconsin.”)  We defended him when he went back and forth about retiring.  Again and again.  After all, we reasoned, he loved the game! He couldn’t bring himself to leave!
You know what? [...]
