No Football For Old Men Rays Letter To The League Don’t Miss The Espys No Peyton In Pre-Season I’m Rich, B#@!% Sports Writer Sued In OK Thank you for reading Sports Talk, please check back next week for more!
Brett Favre wants out of Green Bay. Brett Favre is not wanted in the Packers organization, and was told my Packer front office personnel that if he returns he will not be the starter. Are you kidding me? You have Brett Favre, the all time touchdown king! And you are not going to use him. I’m starting to think that the Packers front office couldn’t even run a team successfully on the Madden football video game. I mean, if NFL franchises are hiring idiots to run their team, then sign me up! I couldn’t do any worse these guys! I like big bucks for running a team into the ground. The fact is Brett is a legend, you might not agree, but he is, and this what the NFL always does.
The way the NFL handles their players is shooting them up with cortisone shots when they get injured, then send him back on the field. Until he gets too old, he can’t run with the 24-year-olds anymore, so let's force him to retire or cut him or trade him to a dormant team. If the player sucks, he sucks. But this is Brett Favre, and the Pack won’t let him go because they don’t want him going into Green Bay and whipping them up in a playoff game or anything like that. It’s just bad business. Now if Favre wants to play, he has to ask the NFL for “reinstatement”, then he would have to report to training camp--where he IS NOT the starter--or get fined. There is no dignity in American business anymore, it’s always about the bottom line, not the person, and it’s a shame. Brett Favre wants to play to win another ring, Jeff Garcia wants more money and knows he’s not going to get it. Marrying a Playboy Bunny is expensive. Who would put the Bucs in a better position to win it all? Think about it. The Bucs have money this year, and if I were Jon Gruden, I would wake up at 4 in the morning and think to myself, “Why is Brett not in Tampa?”. He did coach him in Green Bay a long time ago. It’s time for the Bucs front office to get off their ass and build a winner for ‘08.
Dear, MLB
"We lost seven games in a row before the all-star break, but we are going to take the AL, right now we are under the radar, but that’s what we wanted all along. We are young, we are rich, and it’s time for Tampa Bay to rise up."
That’s what I would be sending to the league if I were a Rays player. It seems during this season that if the Rays lose a few games, they are suddenly not the hottest team anymore. They win 5 in a row and BAM! They’re the greatest thing since all-beef franks! Nevermind the history that they have overcome in just a half of a season, they should get it together after the break. Or maybe, just maybe, since they are not playing for a stadium anymore, what’s the point?
This year, the Espy Awards Show will air this Sunday night at 9pm, and it’s hosted by Justin Timberlake. This is the award show for all sports, and it’s usually a pretty good show. Must watch for sports fans.
Peyton Manning will not attend training camp or play in preseason games this year. He’s having knee surgery and will be inactive for 4-6 weeks. For those who are worried, he’s not too injured to do a commercial though, which is something he’s already dragged his brother, Eli, into.
Vinny Lecavlier, Lightning Legend, will be in Tampa for the rest of his career. He's just signed a contract for 11 years $85 Million. This contract will pay him a lot at first, then the salary goes down as his career winds down. I cannot wait until hockey season starts up, I’m excited to see what the Lightning do this year. This could be the time for Tampa, the Rays are good, the Lightning look good, and we might have a quarterback that wears the number 4 for the Bucs.
A writer for DarthHusker.com, a University Of Nebraska web site, a 36-year-old sports writer by the name of James W. Conradt, created a fake internet article by writing about two University Of Oklahoma quartebacks that were arrested for distribution of cocaine. Conradt made a fake article link that used trademarks by The Oklahoman, and NewsOk.com. This is a 10-Count lawsuit, and Conradt is apologizing as much as he can. So kids, the end result in this is to get your facts straight!
