It’s ironic that Brett Favre’s impressive streak of consecutive games came to an end on the same field that badly hurt the Packers’ playoff chances. I think many Packers fans finally have some closure with Favre. His 297 consecutive games ended with a sworn enemy of Packer Nation. As many of you know, I think [...]

Cleveland at Buffalo Start: Peyton Hillis–He’s a given. Though the Dolphins figured out how to slow him down last week, the Bills really pose no defensive threat except Paul Posluszny. Ryan Fitzpatrick–I also really like Ryan Fitzpatrick in this matchup. He has Lee Evans and Steve Johnson to throw to and he has hit Johnson [...]

Will Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre’s streak come to a halt this week? I think not. With a start this weekend against the New York Giants, Favre will extend his consecutive game streak to 298 games, a remarkable feat. But with all the buzz this week about the veteran’s shoulder, I continue to think that [...]

If you’re like me, you may be in mourning this week. I’m only going to make the playoffs in one of my fantasy leagues. I am disappointed. I went 1-4 down the stretch in a league that I began the season 6-2 in. I didn’t follow my convictions, made dumb trades when I should have [...]

Yeah, yeah, we’ve all heard the story that this will be Brett Favre’s last season in the NFL, but does he return to the Vikings in 2011? You have to ask the question because there is always that possibility and here is how I see it shaping up. Do I think he should return, no, [...]
