Not quite retiring the Favre jokes…
Brett Favre says this year’s Vikings are the “best team I’ve ever been on.” No, he’s not insulting the 1996 Super Bowl winning Packers. He just doesn’t remember them.

Junior Seau is returning from retirement for a third time to the New England Patriots. If the Patriots and Vikings make to the Super Bowl, we can only pray they don’t send Seau and Favre out to call the coin toss….

The NFL has announced that they have moved the Vikings-Packers rematch to 315p Central Standard Time on November 1, instead of 12:00n, by swapping the game with the Giants-Eagles game. This would avoid scheduling conflicts for the Phillies if they make it to the World Series.
The league says that they made the change to make things easier for Major League Baseball and the city of Philadelphia, and not because the later Sunday game has a bigger television audience and thus ad rates.
And if you believe THAT one, I’ve got a tape of Favre’s final retirement conference to sell you.

Gilbert Arenas and the Washington Wizards were fined $25,000 apiece Tuesday by the NBA because Arenas has been refusing to talk to the media. $25,000 for not talking? Well, that’s one fine that won’t have to be paid by Mark Cuban.

Apparently the Miami Dolphins are about to add one more celebrity part-owner, this time Fergie, of the Black Eyed Peas. She would join Venus Williams and Serena Williams, Jimmy Buffett, Marc Anthony and Emilio and Gloria Estefan as limited partners. Already, the average Floridian can name more owners of the Dolphins than players on the Buccaneers.

Despite the team’s recent success, Joe Torre has stated he has no intention of getting a contract extension with the Dodgers, and isn’t even sure he will return to Los Angeles next year. Apparently after this year with the Manny Ramirez circus, following all those years with the Yankees, Torre figures his next job will be something less stressful, like White House Press Secretary.

TMZ.com apparently has more than once caught Arnold Schwarzenegger’s wife Maria Shriver talking on a hand-held cellphone while driving (illegal in California), and has posted the pictures.
Maybe we have the wrong people going after Osama Bin Laden?

Rush Limbaugh’s bid to become a part owner of the St. Louis Rams appeaers doomed after a number of NFL players have spoken out against him based upon his history of racially insensitive remarks. Yeah, I don’t think he has a Marge Schott.
In a controversial move, city officials of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are planning a bid to jointly host the 2020 Olympics. I’m telling ya, there is gonna be a lot of fallout over this.
