Spurious thoughts and idle musings from the world of sports …
 
Live by the Favre, die by the Favre.  I’ll be the first to admit that if Brett Favre played for my team, I’d have a closet full of his No. 4 jerseys in assorted styles and colors.  And I’d have the head trifecta … bobble, fat and cheese.  Favre is an all-time NFL legend and the best football player the tiny hamlet of Green Bay, Wisconsin has ever seen.  And if he doesn’t get elected to Canton on the first ballot, they might as well shut the place down.  But the man just kills his team in the playoffs.  Green Bay coaches spent the entire season getting him to play within their safe yet effective system and somehow someway Sheriff Brett’s last pistol shot of the season still got picked off.  Thanks for playing, Pack, and we have some lovely parting gifts for you. 

Herschel Walker, beloved hero of the Georgia Bulldawgs, apparently has a new book coming out in which he claims he suffers from a multiple personality disorder.  Vince Dooley, Walker’s old college coach, said this was news to him but that he sure liked the Herschel who trampled all over the SEC for him.  Iggles fans however were no doubt less enamored with their Herschel … The one who tippy-toed into the line, got blasted backwards and fumbled.
 
Bud Light signed yet another contract extension last week to stay on as baseball commish for yet another three years, this time until 2012.  Selig has insisted several times before that he’d be retired by now but, let’s be real here, Bud ain’t leaving until he can put the steroids mess far behind in his rearview mirror.  But here’s the really intriguing part of his plan to stay on as commissioner … The current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, our Commander-In-Chief, has made no secret of his lifelong ambition to have that job.  Although seeing as how often Bud seems to be testifying in front of Congress these days, perhaps Mr Bush might be having second thoughts on his post-POTUS career path.
