After this weekend, Minneapolis crews are working frantically to see how long it will take to repair their aging structure and have it NFL ready as soon as possible. And besides Brett Favre, they are hoping to fix the Metrodome too.

So the Big 10 starting in 2011 will have 12 teams , and the Big 12 starting in 2012 will have 10 teams. Here’s a radical idea. Swap numbers.
–
Instead, the Big Ten, which will now have twelve members, is dividing them into two football divisions: Leaders and Legends. What, they thought the players would find “North-South” or “East-West” too complicated?
Leaders and Legends? Well it’s hard to figure out who is in which category. Except for the high-priced consultants who came up with this idea. For them I think the term is “Losers.”
–
But really, don’t those categories sound like a “Comic-con” seminar, or as my friend Tim Church says, a video game? And then they added this baby blue logo. Just in case the whole package wasn’t dorky enough.

Brett Favre’s string of 297 straight starts ended today. His continuous passing streak, however, ended when Deanna heard about those texts to Jenn Sterger.
–
Current Yankees theme song. “Can’t buy me love, can’t buy me Lee either.”
–
Cliff Lee to the Phillies? So much for all those who said it couldn’t get any worse than this year for Mets fans.
–
Halladay, Lee, Oswalt, Hamels, Blanton…. Sorry Phillies, but that starting five might almost be as good as Cain, Lincecum, Bumgarner, Sanchez, and either “fill-in-the-blank” or Zito.
–
Amazing photos of that deflated Metrodome roof going around. It’s absolutely the most ridiculous image ever to come out of Minneapolis, at least since Deanna Favre took Brett’s camera phone away.
–
More about Sal Alosi, the NY Jets coach who tripped the Dolphins runner from the sidelines. He may receive a fine and/or suspension from the league. But if he can do the same with Michael Vick or Ben Roethlisberger, PETA or NOW will send him a nice bonus.

The international pole dancing championships are this week in Japan. The sport is growing and becoming more mainstream, although fans say they were too late to make a serious bid to be included in the 2012 London Olympics.
Although rumor has it the mostly male IOC is looking through their records to see if there is precedent for an exemption.
If pole-dancing ever makes it to the Olympics, we will definitely see a first for the games…. men asking their wives, so when do the gymnastic competitions start?
