TOP STORIES - JULY 22, 2008 VIDEOS: Check out Favre's appearance on Greta Van Susteren, along with some ESPN reports from last weekend here.  2008 FANTASY FOOTBALL STARTS NOW: 50 quarterbacks (and all 32 teams) ranked for your reading pleasure... FAVRES FAV FIVE - THE VIKINGS COACHING STAFF??? And the big kicker is that #4 allegedly did it with the PACKERS dime. Per phone records the team has, BF had REPEATED conversations with coach Brad Childress and OC Darrell Bevell from a PACKERS ISSUED cell phone. Since Bevell is a former Packers coach and the two remain tight - that would make the Packers charge of tamperintg tough to prove. But if Childress is also proven to be in the repeated conversations, then GBP's case becomes very much legitimate.HAMMERED FANS - EPL HOOLIGISM COMES TO THE US!!! Approximately 30 supporters for English Premiere League side West Ham clashed with approximately 100 Columbus Crew fans at halftime of the teams' exhibition match in Columbus over the weekend. What’s especially impressive is that the hooligans have disposable income to fly to the states for what is for them a pre-season game – most of us can't get outside the city limits with the price of gas these days. The incident was said to had started after the West Ham supporters decided to congregate an area where the most boisterous of Columbus fans usually occupy. Incidentally West Ham won the match 3-1 proving that MLS is still the EPL's bitch – or as a West Ham player said later 'We took the MLS game because we wanted to come to America. We wanted to show what we're about'. This marks the second fan incident at a Columbus game this year – back in May a fan recorded himself making racial taunts at an opposing player after he won a match with a late penalty kick. The MLS commissioner vows a lifetime ban from that individual attending future games if he can be identified. West Ham is scheduled to play some other MLS teams, while FC Everton is also on tour and is to play the Chicago Fire next week. (All we know is there's goin' to be a show when the Everton boys come around!!!)  FAVRE TO DITCH 'COMEBACK'??? Profootballtalk.com reporting tonight through a supposed tip that Favre is having second-second thoughts at returning to the NFL this year, and may have now decided to stay retired after all. The story had the Packers presenting Favre with three teams he could be traded to, none of which was to #4's liking. PFT doesn't hit on every story but I can see #4 coming to his senses and deciding to step away one and for all now that he's finally realized the spectacle he has created.IRL CATFIGHT!!! A frustrated Danica Patrick (ain't she always frustrated???) confronts Milka Duno on pit road during practice for the Mid-Ohio 200. According to a published report, Danica marched over (sound familiar??) to Milka's pit stall to complain about Duno getting in her way during the practice session. Amateur video obtained by the Star shows Duno telling Patrick to get lost several times until Milka throws a towel at Patrick, leading to 'foul language' before the minute-long incident concluded. Life has not gone well for Danica since winning in Japan earlier in the season, a couple weeks back, she crashed into Scott Dixon's pit stall at Watkins Glen, nearly hitting crew members - one of which reportedly threw a piece of equipment from Danica's damaged car back at it.  PLAYER DL'D AFTER SWIMMING POOL ACCIDENT: Another reason to hate the All-Star break, players with just too much time on their hands. Oakland first baseman Daric Barton placed on the DL with a sprained neck after diving into the shallow end of a swimming pool at a teammates apartment complex. Blood gushed down Barton's face after hitting the bottom, and he also needed six staples to his head to close the wound. The A's manager was none too happy about the development, saying 'It seemed to be a careless mistake that hurt the team'.MICHELLE WIE DISQUALIFIED!!! It seemed like things had finally turned around for the troubled golfer, she was playing her best golf in quite a while and was alone in second place after the third round of the LPGA tournament on Saturday, that is at least until officials had some bad news for her - deciding that she was in fact disqualified for not immediately signing her scorecard. It was originally thought that Wie was OK, officials chased her down following the second round after which she did sign her card - but determined that she had already left the roped off area, so in fact, she had put her cards over the line, she had to muck her hand. Said an official later, 'She was like a little kid after you tell them there’s no Santa Claus'. It's the second DQ of Wie's still young career, I guess that's yet 'another valuable lesson'. Keep working on that swing, and learn some attention to detail and read the Rules of Golf on occasion while you are at it - somebody tell me she doesn't go to Stanford... MLS TEAM STOPS CRAZED IN-FLIGHT STREAKER: A Twilight Zone episode breaks out on a Boston to Los Angeles flight somewhere over the heartland on Friday. First a man came out of a lavatory during the flight naked during a flight with over 150 passengers, at which point the GM of the MLS's New England Revolution politely asked him if he could put his clothes back on. Of course, soccer players occasionally running across a streaker is no big deal. But the man's next move got everyone's attention, as he made a run towards the latch on the emergency exit, at which point he was subdued by the GM and other members of the Revolution staff, with a couple of the players on stand-by. Said the GM later, 'No clothes, that’s one thing. That was one level. The exit door was different. It took it to another level. We had a problem then.' They say there is no way possible to open the emergency latch during a flight, but I also hear being on a flight that suddenly de-pressurizes at 30,000 feet is not good. -50 below outside the plane, plane going 600 MPH, what would the wind chill be on that one, not to mention the sudden lack of oxygen. It's said the man was acting strange and talking gibberish such as 'A miracle is going to happen' - like he was going to recreate D.B. Cooper's escape sans the parachute??? Fine take yourself out then, just don't take 157 others with you. The plane ends up making an emergency landing in Oklahoma City while the man was questioned by the FBI before being taking to the hospital for evaluation. Meanwhile I'm sure the incident goes straight to the top of the list of top moments in Revolution history while the fact that the team apparently flies commercial tells you that MLS still hasn't quite made it to the big time. And I say it's time to step up that Air Marshall program again.  GRETA BLOCKBUSTER - FAVRE THROWS THOMPSON UNDER THE BUS This was the part of the interview that wasn't going to be aired, but got leaked to the media. Greta runs a 'Part 3' of her interview with Favre, and #4 says that Ted Thompson betrayed him for (a) not resigning Marco Rivera or Mike Wahle, (b) not interviewing Steve Mariucci for coach, and finally (c) not making an effort in regards to signing Randy Moss - Favre in fact goes as far as saying he 'busted his butt' trying to get Moss to come to Green Bay - there is only one way I see Favre returning to Green Bay now - if TT resigned, and that may be a possibility. developing.... DID MINNEAPOLIS TAMPERING SPARK FAVRE'S INTEREST??? The Packers file tampering charges against Minneapolis alleging inappropriate contact with Brett Favre. An anonymous source said to be familiar with the case says Packers officials have expressed a belief that interest from the Vikings drove Favre's sudden change of heart about playing this year. It is a known fact that Favre is good friends with Vikings offensive coordinator and former University of Wisconsin quarterback Darrell Bevell. If proven, a team found guilty of tampering could be fined or be ordered to forfeit a draft choice - or in this case the Vikings could cough up a first-rounder (or even more) for #4 to keep them quiet COULD ANOTHER KEY PIECE BE MISSING FROM TRAINING CAMP??? Packers have not been negotiating with Ryan Grant while the Favre saga has been ongoing, Ryan is not about to re-up for a measly $370,000 after last year's breakout.BASEBALL FANS DIE ON WAY TO GAME: It has been an ugly year for baseball fans, fans fall to their deaths from escalators at Shea Stadium and Atlanta, a fan was killed in a fight outside of AT&T Park in San Francisco when his head hit the cement (murder charges pending, call Nancy Grace), two kids getting brained by liners at Wrigley Field, other fans getting nailed with the barreled end of busted maple bats, and now this - two Washington National fans said to be standing on the top-half of an open-ended double decker bus were killed over the weekend after the bus went under a low overpass. The buses were ran by the team, and was taking fans from the parking lot of RFK Stadium to the Nationals' current stadium. And the team is struggling at the gate as it is - perhaps they should have thought about more parking garages for the whatever-hundered million that was paid for the place... CHURCHILL DOWNS TRACK ANNOUNCER FOUND DEAD: Announcer Luke Kruytbosch (pronounced KRITE-BOSS) found dead in his Evansivlle, IN apartment, he was 46. Foul play is not suspected, Kruytbosch had complained about not feeling well in recent days and the cause of death is suspected to be coronary-related. Kruytbosch had just finished his duties for Chruchill Downs spring meet (including the Derby), he took over in 1999 for Kurt Becker, Becker is often heard on Motor Racing Network's NASCAR broadcasts. OLYMPIC CANOEIST DEAD AT 36: Hungarian canoeist Gyorgy Kolonics dies after collapsing in his canoe while training for the Beijing Games. Kolonics had won 15 World Championships since 1993, and won gold medals in varios events in 1996 and 2000. The Beijing Games would had been his fifth Olympics. By the way, think paddling a canoe VERY fast ain't exhausting - try it sometime, or ask someone named Mike Craig.  FANS RALLY AT LAMBEAU CLAMORING FOR FAVRE RETURN Over 100 fans showed up outside Lambeau Field on Sunday, chanting for Packers management to welcome Brett Favre back as the team's starting quarterback. In a brief statement, the Packers responded by saying that the organization has always appreciated the passion from it's fans. The Sunday protest was the idea of two brothers who recently created the bringbackbrettfavre.com website. The group also planned a rally in Milwaukee on Monday, and are preparing for additional rallies outside Lambeau for upcoming weekends, imagine the potential circus when something called Training Camp opens in a couple weeks. HORNUNG SAYS PACK SHOULD TRADE #4: As former players arrive in Titletown in advance to the team's Hall of Fame induction ceremonies, Paul Hornung offers his opinion and says the Packers should trade Favre and get some value for him. Incidentally, former center Frank Winters is amongst the inductees this weekend, guess who is scheduled to make the presentation - Brett Favre. Will be VERY interesting if Brett is actually in town.DFWAM - JOSE CANSECO PICKS THE WRONG FIGHT!!! Despite giving up seven inches and 45 pounds, former NFL return great Vai Sikahema dispatches former baseball slugger turned rat Jose Canseco in 97 seconds, juicing Canseco twice to the canvas in the process in a charity boxing event. And if you thought the fight was one-sided, it was nothing compared to the smack Vai laid on JC after the 'fight', where he referred to Canseco as a 'walking corpse' and added that the only surprise was that he didn't take out Jose in 30 seconds. Not surprisingly by those quotes, Vai is a TV personality in Philadelphia these days. Sikahema also donated part of his purse to the family of a Philadelphia police officer who was killed in the line of duty earlier this year. Vai fought 80 times as an amateur before his NFL career began - you can see some brief footage of Vai practicing on a goal-post following a score during his playing career here. SECOND REF IN NBA BETTING SCANDAL??? Disgraced former NBA referee Tim Donaghy made more than a hundred phone calls to one of his colleagues during the time he provided information to professional gamblers, according to Fox News. According to the report, Donaghy placed 134 calls to referee Scott Foster between October 2006 and April 2007. David Stern has repeatedly stated in the past that Donaghy was only a 'rouge', has yet to comment on the latest allegations. SURRPISE!! TRAVIS HENRY FLUNKS DRUG TEST: He supposed failed a league mandated test back in May, just before his release from the Broncos. So that one-year suspension he fought against and actually won during last season, he's serving it anyways. ODELL THURMAN WANTED: Already serving an indefinite suspension, Thurman is now wanted for allegedly breaking a man's jaw, after arguing over a place in line at a waterpark.TERRIFYING SCENE AT WRIGLEY: Horrified father was giving mouth-to-mouth to seven year-old son after he was struck by a foul ball during Cubs game. The two were sitting behind the Cubs dugout and it was said to be the youth's first MLB game. The boy suffered a fractured skull but doctors are hopeful he will survive. Meanwhile a Cubs spokesman says the organization is looking forward to seeing the kid back at the ballpark 'as soon as he's ready'. Time to say it again, nets all the way down the foul lines, they're coming... ANOTHER YOUTH SUFFERED FRACTURED SKULL AT WRIGLEY: Nine year old was struck during batting practice before a game last month. REPORT - VIKINGS WANT FAVRE!?!?!? Talk about the perfect storm I've been predicting for three years coming to pass and then some... That retirement ceremony that they were going to hold at Lambeau Field in a couple months??? There is a danger that the subject of honor might be playing quarterback for the opposition that night. What now appears to be a lead-pipe lock is that Brett Favre will be in the NFL for the 2008 season for a team other than the Green Bay Packers. The only person seeming to be doing any talking right now is Scott Favre, Brett's brother says that by saying nothing (other than a text message that he's on vacation, that Ted Thompson is saying everything - and the Mississippi columnist adds that the blood of Favre's imminent departure is squarely on TT's hands. Meanwhile SportsRadio 1250 in Milwaukee has reported that the Minnesota Vikings have already inquired about Favre - however he would have to be given his outright release from the GBP for that to happen. Will be interesting to see if TT will trade Favre anywhere for a stick of chewing gum to prevent BF from making what would be the ULTIMATE heel turn.MARINERS DUMP SEXSON OVERBOARD: In a statement similar to one Jack Clark once made while playing for the San Diego Padres (circumstancial evidence at the time suggested it was towards Tony Gwynn), a Seattle Mariners player said a few weeks back that there was a player in the lineup who was happy win or lose as long as he got a couple hits in the game. Everyone suggested that jab was directed towards Ichiro Suzuki because God knows Richie Sexson nor anyone else in that lineup ever has any multi-hit games. Sexson finally got his long awaited walking papers today after hitting .218 thus far this year. Also pitcher Erik Bedard was placed on the disabled list yet again, when asked why Bedard never seems to last more than five innings, the recently fired GM Seattle said that if you asked him he would probably give you a lame excuse or some other 'smart-ass answer'. A very happy clubhouse, I'm beginning to see why Mike Hargrove left last year to coach a Summer League team in Kansas... CURTAINS FOR MATT JONES CAREER??? He was already mired deep in the Jacksonville Jaguars doghouse wasting his considerable skills, and this should put a dagger into the career of the former Arkansas QB-turned tight end. Jones was busted early this morning allegedly attempting to break down cocaine with a credit card. Jones has been charged with felony possession of a controlled substance. You can check out his mug shot from the sheriff's department here. NY METS FAN SUES FOR $5.5 MILLION: 48-year old contends his whole face was broken when hit by the shard of a broken bat last August, contends the team should had put netting in front of his area. I'll say it again, netting all the way down the foul lines, it's coming. |
