Want to learn about Brett Favre’s hometown of Kiln, Miss.?

Let’s just say this was more information than I expected to get when I saw this ESPN.com headline: “Moonshine, tears flow at Lambeau South.”

Cheese bras?

Well, don’t say I didn’t warn ya.

Eddie Murphy called it … 20 years ago

He predicted last night’s outcome during “Coming to America”. Don’t believe me? Check it out here

A little Monday morning humor

ESPN.com’s Page 2 has a funny cartoon take on yesterday’s conference championship games. I especially like the one about Coughlin. He might have to coach the Super Bowl wearing a mask.

For those of you wondering, I came in today with my Giants hat and a smile, but I’m not taunting the Packer faithful. I shook Anna’s hand and thanked her for a fun blog-off. And I kept the debate with Trowbridge going.

Thanks for reading, everybody.

Favre overrated?

Wow, these guys are full of themselves and completely overrated. But that’s just my opinion. Thoughts?

(Warning: Some choice words in the comments area.)

Will he or won’t he?

Somehow I managed to get out of bed this morning and show my face in the office. Thomas isn’t here yet, but I expect to hear from him once he gets here. He’ll get his cheese, I promise.

This morning, the talk on talk radio is whether Brett Favre will retire. I’ve said it every year since the first talk of retirement surfaced, and I’ll say it again. It’s not time for Brett to hang it up. And I don’t think he will. (By the looks of the picture above, he shed some tears after last night’s loss. I can say I didn’t cry. Just felt sick.)

Here’s what others are saying about the topic today …
