FAVRELOUS AND FRIVRELOUS
This just in ... Brett Favre has asked Wrangler to release him from its deal so that he can sign with Guess!
The Packers, meanwhile, signed the dude who catches Favre's pass in the ad. Packer GM Ted Thompson: "He got good separation on the play."
Speaking of touch football games, am I the only one who felt slightly uncomfortable during the scene in
St. Elmo's Fire where Rob Lowe and the dude who just tackled him lingered on the ground for an excruciatingly long time afterward to discuss life and the angst of being 23? (You're 23! You can drink excessively, still be functional the next day, and not have to worry about what your hair looks like ... what are you whining about!!!???)
I'm just wondering, in a sausage-crazed state liked Wisconsin, if anyone there has accused Favre of behaving like a spoiled brat.
Concerned about QB depth, the Packers brought in Uncle Rico this week for a tryout. "We're also convinced," said the Packers' Thompson, "that they could have taken state if they'd just put Uncle Rico in."
Ten Things I Want to See From Notre Dame Football This Season
1) I want to see wide receiver David Grimes catch a pass between the hashmarks...and on two feet.
2) I want to see cornerback Terrail Lambert have a good game...outside of East Lansing.
3) I want to see offensive tackle Sam Young pancake block some sucka' into Upper Dowagiac (will settle for Lower Dowagiac).
4) I want to see NBC film the rush in the press box at halftime when the elevators open and the pizza delivery guy is standing there (It's like watching Trevor Laws times 30).
5) I want to see the Irish offense come out in a five-receiver set (Grimes, Duval Kamara, Robby Parris, Golden Tate and Michael Floyd) for an entire half ... and I want to see students donning T-shirts that read, "Golden Is Thy Tate".
6) I want to see my friend Michael Rothstein, who covers the Irish for the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, say, "That was a great move by Coach Weis."
7) I want to see NBC sideliner reporter Alex Flanagan say, as Charlie tries to give her the brush-off during the halftime walk-to-the-tunnel interview, "You realize I rarely have this problem with guys?"
8) I want to see a pre-game depth chart where next to the QB position the word "OR" does not appear (as in "Demetrius Jones OR Evan Sharpley OR Jimmy Clausen").
9) I want to see fullback/tight end Luke Schmidt get meaningful minutes.
10) I want to see the looks on all the faces of the people who pen previews on-line or in magazines as they wonder aloud where this Harrison Smith dude came from.

First the discussion of Rob Lowe plus the other guy lingering for way to long...then the bit (and a picture) of the bratwursts. Talk about a sausage fest!
oops, typo. I meant "way TOO long"
