Phillip Rivers pissed off on the sidelines is easily one of my favorite NFL moments each season. Hey when youve had the weapons that hes had and then choked/dissapointed as much as they have, id be hella pissed too. It seems like their "favored" to go to the superbowl every year but always come up short. |

The Favre thing is a little ridiculous. They're both adults and to the best of my knowledge, she hasn't complained about it and it was completely consensual. Please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this.

She never formally complained, during or after the alleged incident.
The thing that I find very interesting is that she apparently handed over a phone, as well as other electronic and non-electronic "evidence". And yet at the end of the day, they couldn't link it back to Favre.
She had recorded voicemails, which hypothetically were saved in a voice mail box, to which the call back number should have been able to be traced back. She had text messages, which once again could have been saved to a phone, in which the number attached should have been able to be traced back.
Hell, without being too dramatic, they could just gone to Deadspin.com, printed some screen prints, and just had Favre drop them. Better yet, have him put on Crocs and then drop them.
I guess the point I'm making is given the amount of time spent, the amount of apparent evidence that was presented, and the pushy nature of her lawyer, they still didn't really have anything, or else it would have been a much bigger fine.
Granted, the whole not cooperating in a timely manner does cast some guilt on Favre's head, but at the same time, if he says he didn't send the pictures, and they can't prove he did, then he didn't.

The Pro Bowl is a complete joke now. It's always the big name players getting voted in, while guys like James Hall, who has had a great season with 10 sacks, doesn't get in. I swear, Manning could thrown 5 TDs and 40 INTs and still get voted in. Just my rant right there.

Umm....the Saints don't have the 2 seed, and Brandon Lloyd did make the Pro Bowl. Bears are not beating the Packers... |

I love Aaron Rodgers as a player, but he just comes off as one of the most cocky mother  ers in the game today. Oh, and congrats Saints for earning that 2 seed. The Bears clinched the #2 seed |

The Bears clinched the #2 seed What? Saints can go 12-4. Bears can go 11-5... Falcons have clinched the division, so the best the Saints can do is the 5th seed, and with Philly losing this week Chicago's locked up the 2nd seed. |

What? Saints can go 12-4. Bears can go 11-5... Atlanta will likely win the NFC South, though, meaning that the Saints are at best a wild card, 5 seed. |

As he's a Chargers fan...let me put it this way. Two years ago the Chargers won the division and the 4 seed at 8-8, and Indy got into the playoffs as the 5 seed because Tennessee won the division. Head to head, the Colts were better than the 2, 3 and 4 seeds (Pittsburgh, Miami and San Diego respectively) but because the Titans won the division, the Colts couldn't get...like...the 4 seed or anything. |

Oh, my fault. I forgot that two teams in the same division can't get the top seeds.

I don't know why they were investigating it in the first place. Let's say for the sake of argument that Favre is guilty as sin. Let's say he did send naked pics of himself to the lady and he did leave her sexually charged voice mails. So what? He's an adult. She's an adult. She's not complaining about it. It was completely consensual. How is it the NFL's business? Now if his wife wanted to kill him, that I could understand. I don't see how it's the NFL's business though. |

Falcons have not clinched it yet. Must beat Carolina. Like I said, the Falcons have clinched. And like I said.....Falcons have NOT clinched the division. A loss to Carolina and a Saints win, makes the Saints the winners of the division. |

No offense to any Panthers fans, but if the Falcons lose this week, knowing how important this game really is against a really bad team...they don't deserve to win the division, or even play a game in the playoffs. My logic may be flawed, but that's just my take. |
