NEW YORK – As we let the news settle in that Brett Favre, QB of the New York Jets, has made the Pro Bowl for a record 10th time and take side bets if he’ll schlep to Hawaii with Deana and the family, let’s remember what it took to get him to this place.

NEW YORK – Selections were announced for the NFL Pro Bowl game on Tuesday and here’s a quick run-down. The N.Y. Jets had the most selections with seven and QB Brett Favre who leads the league in interceptions is on that list.
Both Mannings will participate. The combined age of the NFC kickers is 86 years. Players not selected included Cowboys QB Tony Romo and WR T.O.

DALLAS – Terrell Owens, wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys had seemingly formed a close relationship with QB Tony Romo and appeared in public after last season’s miserable playoff defeat and wept as he defended Romo to the assembled media.
Owens has gotten agitated recently about the lack of balls thrown his way. All was seemingly OK between him and Romo until reports this week that Owens thinks TE Witten and Romo are getting together without him on purpose.

DETROIT – This past week, Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola flipped the bird to some heckling fans after the Minnesota Vikings spanked them on Dominic’s home field 20-16.
The following day, instead of apologizing, the frustrated player found a few cameras and further challenged whatever few Lions die-hards may be around to fisticuffs. That move cost the player a $7,500 fine.

DETROIT – During a ‘live’ feed after the game showing Vikings owner Zygmunt Wilf presenting the game ball to coach Brad Childress, tight end (there’s a bad joke there) Visanthe Shiancoe was standing directly behind the camera’s lens naked, wong hanging right out, and the camera operator or crew didn’t notice until after they shared their shot to the world.

NEW YORK – Coach Tom Coughlin and his New York Giants have lived up to the challenges they have faced and continue to find a way to win.

DETROIT – It is absurd to allow the Ford family to maintain an entity like the Lions in their portfolio while agreeing to hand over billions of tax dollars to save their auto company’s sinking ship.
If they are begging for $9 billion, Congress should minus the $917 million they are forced to acquire from the sale of the Lions then give them $8.08 billion instead.

NEW YORK – Bumetanide is an FDA regulated drug so it is illegal to dispense it without a prescription. If that is the case and the company added it without the player’s knowledge, spiked their product in other words, these players may be classified more as victims than cheaters.
Regardless, the NFL has good justification for the suspensions backed by a letter they sent out to the players last year.

NEW YORK – Felony charges are expected this morning in New York against Plaxico Burress. In the state of New York, if a person possesses a loaded, unlicensed handgun in a place other than his residence or business, it is a felony.
The bad news for Burress is, the days of brushing celebrity and athlete criminal incidents under the rug, is long over (Google Paris Hilton and Michael Vick).

NEW YORK – I spoke to several fans from both sides of the fence over this Thanksgiving weekend and clearly the passion for this rivalry has elevated. I discovered when you bring up the words ‘Giants’ and ‘Jets’, everyone is willing to drop their sandwich to jump into the discussion.
