"Gone Too FARve"

The Story: The NFL is aggressively investigating allegations that Favre sent inappropriate messages and photos to a former Jets employee, a source familiar with the league's review told Mortensen.

The investigation is on a fast track and commenced Thursday, the same day that Deadspin.com posted voice messages and salacious photos that Favre allegedly sent to Jenn Sterger when both were employed by the New York Jets in 2008.

The Analysis: Something about Brett Farve and sex scandal in the same sentence just don't seem right.  Are you surprise?  If you are innocent, why cry and give a speech to your teammates saying I need you to carry me versus the Jets. On the flip side, maybe he didn't do it.  In addition, why didn't the report come out when it happen?  Why all of a sudden when he returns to New York...just maybe somebody didn't get the type of Tiger Woods money they thought they would.  Just throwing it out there...

More commentary from writer Jason Whitlock of FoxSports.com regarding Sexism and Sports
What other explanation is there for the attack on Jenn Sterger? She’s done nothing wrong. Nothing. Even if she participated in the selling of the e-mails, voice mails and pictures to Deadspin -- which Deadspin claims she did not -- she has acted appropriately.


Sterger is not like the Tiger Woods groupies who willingly slept with the married golfer and then squealed so they could cash in.

Sterger, if you believe the allegations, was a victim of harassment. An older, married man made repeated, unwanted and offensive advances toward her. A full-time Jets employee, in an attempt to make the team’s star quarterback happy, gave Favre her contact information.

This is sexual harassment. She’s in her mid 20s, trying to get a foot in the door with the Jets. One of the most important players in the NFL allegedly used all of his leverage in an attempt to bed her.

Why are people upset that she would turn Favre’s harassment into a winning hand for herself? Why is there a pointless debate about whether she was a “reporter” or “game-day host” for the Jets?

She’s a human being. If she sold popcorn for the Jets, Favre’s conduct would still be inappropriate.

If we find out she slept with Favre or led him on, I’ll reverse my position and lump her with the sleazy opportunists who exploited the Tiger situation.

As of right now, I hope she capitalizes in every way possible. I hope she’s on Oprah’s couch Tuesday and on Leno and Letterman later in the week.

"Jailhouse Blues"

Not only does Plaxico Burress keep getting denied for early release as well as work release, he may have another problem on his hands when he is released from jail.

The Story:  Former New York Giants punter Jeff Feagles(notes) told Sports Illustrated that Plaxico never paid for the No. 17 jersey the receiver purchased from him after joining the team in 2005. Feagles had negotiated the deal with Plaxico's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and the two reached an agreement: Plaxico got No. 17 in exchange for paying for some of Feagles' housework. It worked out perfectly, except for one little detail:

"I never got paid for it. I asked [Burress] for it. Every time I went to Drew he said, 'That's between you and Plax.' Bottom line, I never got paid. He basically stole my number."

The Analysis:  I'm willing to debate, not argue (if you argue, you have to dance lol), anyone that if he doesn't pay this poor ole punter, no NFL team will sign him once he trys to pull a Michael Vick and re-enter the league.  And his agent Drew Rosenhaus is a snake.  He got T.O. all messed up in the head.  And this is why you don't conduct even the smallest of business deals with black people without signing a contract.

"I'm Back..." Part 2

Get Ya Popcorn Ready...

- T.O. to the Bengals is probably the best free agent move all offseason
-  Sam Bradford = BUST, especially if we judging by his first preasason game
- Farve is back as well, I'm just tired of hearing about it

Final Analysis:  Football is back and it couldn't have come at a better time, I was just about to start watching the Canadian Football League (shout out to Shack). LOL!  Why you playing, I would watch if it came on TV here in the US.  The Bengals and the Cowboys are buzzing, the Eagles will be a sleeper but they won't top the Redskins.  Unless Peyton get hurt, I suspect the Colts will be in the mix and so will the Jets if they can find some offense.  And I have just under 6 months to call my SAINTS Superbowl Champs until they are knocked off the throne. 

"Bloody but Unbowed"

"Not worth the Money"

New England Patriots defensive end Ty Warren is forgoing his $250,000 offseason workout bonus, he says, because no amount of money is worth having his kids see their father without a college degree.


A possible NFL lockout in 2011, which has him thinking more about life after his playing career, also is on his mind.
That's why as the Patriots opened their voluntary offseason program Monday, the 29-year-old Warren was home in Bryan, Texas, with his wife Kesha and their three kids, Brionna, Brielle and Bailey.  To read full article, click title.

Some people would sit back especially in the current economy and say that he can afford to forgo that kind of money so he can go back to school and get his degree because he has already made millions. And I would say you are exactly right! But that’s not the point. In 2004, it was reported that 54 percent of NFL players had not earned a college degree. The national average graduation rate is 55 percent for Division 1-A football players according to the federal government.


For once it’s duly noted (I’m sure there are others) that a man of his status is stepping up and setting an example. He stressed taking his kids to school and being part of their education. More importantly, he talked about going back and finishing what he started in earning his college degree so his kids can see him walk across the stage. According to Warren, “I can sacrifice that bonus for that.” In the words of IJM, “I hear that, brother!”

I think other athletes need to take notice. Some throw away money for all the wrong reasons and here you have Ty Warren forgoing it for all the right ones.

On another note, I personally think the New England Patriots should donate Ty Warren’s bonus to help launch the iTooDream Foundation which is dedicated to fostering the lives of young men with aspirations of achieving higher education…wishful thinking, right? 

Two times a Charm: An Open Letter

Dear Society,

So which is worst, sexual assault or killing a dog? OK, so maybe that's not a perfect example but hopefully you get where I'm going with this. For a second time in almost two years, Big Ben Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual assault. Although the woman played herself in the first case for the way she came out with it, he's still facing a lawsuit from her and while he probably will avoid charges in that case, he may have to fork up some money to make it go away. Then he goes out and (allegedly) does it again? If you ain't do nothing wrong, why go out get the same attorney as Ray Lewis and rapper TI, we all know they both did it (although Ray Ray got off with self-defense).

Nevertheless, Big Ben will probably get drunk and rub another female the wrong way before Mike Vick (possibly never) owns another dog. SMH!

Take that Society and all of your moral values that go along with it!

Yours Truly,
