For the first time in a few years, Brett Favre’s next career move hasn’t been one of the big subplots of the NFL off-season. But that doesn’t mean the 42-year-old is taking it easy. In fact, Favre has just snagged himself a new job in football, as an assistant coach at Oak Grove High School in Hattiesburg, MS.

It has been almost 21 years since a (male) professional team has won a championship for Minnesota. I know the Minnesota Lynx won a championship last year, and kudos to them, but this story is going to be about the Minnesota Twins, Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Minnesota Wild.

Tom Hanks’s character Jimmy Dugan famously said in ‘A League Of Their Own’ that “There’s no crying in baseball.” But that warning hasn’t stopped some of professional sports’ top players from showing their softer side from time to time.

The term "Death Penalty" has been used only once in any level of football. February 25, 1987 the NCAA punished the SMU Mustangs for "pay for play". SMU was one of the best college football teams at the time. It took years for SMU to rebound from the Death Penalty. They were stripped of scholarships, and two National Championships were vacated.

As promised here is the top three quarterbacks to ever throw on the that purple and gold jersey. One of my qualifications for this list would be for the quarterback to lead the Vikings to a Super Bowl win, but you do not need a college education to understand that the Vikings are 0-4 in the Super Bowl...

Every team around the NFL has had more bad quarterbacks then great ones, even teams like the 49ers and the Cowboys who have had multiple great quarterbacks have gone through long stretches of time without a decent quarterback, but the Minnesota Vikings have gone through long stretches of mediocre quarterbacks until they have a good quarterback...

On a day the whole country morns the anniversary of the day that changed America, people turned to football for comfort, but hopefully you did not watch the Minnesota Vikings play the San Diego Chargers, because then you witnessed a team(Vikings) look like Super Bowl contenders in the first half, and then come out of the locker room, and play like a team headed for last place in the NFC North, and

The long lockout has ended, and we are a mere 24 hours away from seeing the NFL season underway. With every season there are some key things to watch for, like Brett Favre iron man streak. Which team will go undefeated, or which team will step up to win the Super Bowl. Here is my top 5 things to watch for in this season.

The chatter just won't stop. The sports news world is continuing to stir up stories suggesting Brett Favre is going to return from yet another "retirement" to act as some team's savior. Some out-of-context commentary had the sports world abuzz that #4 may be looking at a backup role in Philly, then the Eagles picked up Vince Young; squishing that rumor. Sights were then set on Miami, wit
