Bruce Springsteen is always good news. Bruce Springsteen playing the Super Bowl is the closest you get to a guaranteed rock experience. Not only do you get the Boss, Little Stevie and the rest of the E Street band. You also have the pleasure of knowing you are hearring classic American rock at its finest. You also get to hear it at one of the most American places you can — at the Super Bowl. That is if you can get tickets.

The United Football League is supposed to start a year from now, according to Sports Illustrated. If it does, Michael Vick is supposed to play for it. Hopefully, by then, someone will have figured out hot to pronounce the last name of the new league’s commissioner — Huyghue.

Matt Jones didn’t receive preferential treatment from the National Football League regarding his recent cocaine adventures because he’s a white player. He just happens to be extremely lucky.

Meet Matt Jones, who was was caught with six grams of coke. See how lucky he is already? He had six grams?? You would get hit with intent to distribute. The prosecutor bumped Matt down to possession, then held him on a $2500 bond, which Matt promptly posted.

Then he returns to the game, receives a pass, did his plays then sat down. Still no mention of anything coke-related, not even on ESPN. The fans didn’t boo, there were no lectures on role models in sports and he was not publicly shamed. Michael Vick, on the other hand, is serving 23 months for dog fighting and his career is over.

According to ESPN, the New York Jets are wasting no time in taking advantage of an addition to their roster that’s sure to sell tickets. Former Green Bay Packer Brett Favre will throw his first pass as a Jet sometime Saturday. If you listen very closely, you may hear the quiet sobbing of Aaron Rodgers as he thinks about what will happen when he meets Favre on the field of battle.

How do you crush a quarterback’s ego?

First, make him, (and by him I mean Aaron Rodgers), play second banana to one of the best quarterbacks ever — Brett Favre. Then, get his hopes up that he’ll finally get his shot now that Favre has retired.

Third, (and this is most important), say you totally support him when it’s obvious you’d rather have Favre than him. Only then are you ready for the capper — go with Rodgers, thus causing fans to boo him and demand Favre. Poor dude. Check out what Deadspin had to say about it.

Brett Favre has taken step one towards what will either be the dismantling of his football legacy or one of the best NFL games ever — or both. He might play for the Tampa Bay Bucs.

Brett Favre has been reinstated by Commisioner Roger Goddel in a move that will only drum up more questions in the days to come. Should he stay should he go? If the Pack’ takes him back nothing less then starting would satisfy Green Bay’s fan base, contrary to what the team suggests. If the Packers decide not to bring him back whats next? Vikings?? Bears?? Can you really see Favre playing for the Purple People Eaters? Or for the Bears? Seriously the Bears?

In this crazy world of professional sports we all understand anything can happen, even the unfathomable. The single greatest player in Green Bay’s history finishing his illustious career of unthinkable records and memorable on field play with its biggest rival. But hey dont beat on the Packers for this move, who can forget what the 49ers did to the G.O.A.T. (for those of you unfamiliar its Jerry Rice). Sports franchise’s are not what they used to be, loyalty to star players no longer exsists when their too old to what they used to.As a Boston area sports fan remarked to me the other night that its ” a Business”, and like any other the only thing they can do now is watch their bottom line.

Personally I cant wait to see what will come in the following days, if he stay’s with the Pack’ and what role. Or if the unthinkable plays out and he goes to Chicago or Minnesota, will only add to the legend and make those games next year the most exiciting head to head match ups of the season.

Even mighty Joe Paterno gets heat when his players act like so many Suge Knight wannabees. In 2007 alone, 17 players were busted with 9 copping guilty verdicts. This all came out as part of an feature on ESPN’s Outside The Lines show. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the show made the Penn State program look like a renegade outfit. Does being the best still protect Joe P.?

This kind of story makes you check to see if you’re still here in reality — Rush Limbaugh owning an NFL team? Seriously?

According to the Palm Beach Post, the answer is yes. Limbaugh says he’d make the deal if the team became available.

The circus continues to roll on through Lambeau as another twist in this on going saga unfolds. Yesterday Brett Favre filed for reinstatement through the league office, bringing the question up again of what will Green Bay do? It still feels like not a damn thing. They still stand firm that Aaron Rodgers is there starter ad if Favre was to rejoin the team he would be relegated to a back up. And when questioned the team fully backs up and shows there total support for Rodgers; but ironically dont slam Favre. So is it an elaborate PR stance the organization has decided to take to deflect hate from its new starter and shun it on to Favre? Are they trying to diminish his stature with the team to make him not want to come out to camp? If history has taught us anything about this gun slingger is that he’s always ready for a fight, and though he may not always win he will always give you hell to deal with.
