FOOTBALL
NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GODDELL REINSTATED GREEN BAY QB BRETT FAVRE! NOW, THIS IS A BIG DEAL CONSIDERING FAVRE WAS CONSIDERING GREEN BAY’S OFFER TO STAY RETIRED. IT LOOKS LIKE GREEN BAY IS ONLY GONNA HAVE A FEW OPTIONS. THEY COULD RELEASE BRETT, WHICH HE WOULD THEN MORE THAN LIKELY SIGN WITH THE VIKINGS. THEY COULD TRADE BRETT TO THE JETS OR BUCCS. THE LAST OPTION IS TO KEEP FAVRE, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT BRETT DOESN’T EVEN WANT ANYMORE. HE HAS ALREADY SAID THAT HE WILL NOT BE THE BACCUP FOR AARON ROGERS. GREEN BAY HAS ALREADY SAID THAT FAVRE WILL NOT BE THE STARTER. REGARDLESS, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS CRAZY STORY HAS JUST ENTERED ITS CLIMAX RIGHT NOW AS A DECISION MUST BE MADE SOON WITH THE NFL PRESEASON 08 OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY WITH THE COLTS VS REDSKINS HALL OF FAME GAME.

BREAKING NEWS @ 5:39PM – GREEN BAY SAID THEY ARE OPEN TO A QB COMPETITION BETWEEN BRETT FAVRE AND AARON RODGERS!!! LOOKS LIKE FAVRE IS COMING BACC TO LEAD THE PACC! GOD DAMN, NOBODY CAN MAKE UP THEIR DAMN MIND IN GREEN BAY! FAVRE SHOWED UP TO GREEN BAY’S LATE CAMP.

IN THE FIRST PRESEASON GAME OF THE YEAR, THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS PLAYED AGAINST THE WASHINGTON REDSKINS IN THE ANNUAL HALL OF FAME GAME. THE REDSKINS WON 30-16. ROOKIE QB COLT BRENNAN LOOKED GREAT GOING 9/10 FOR 123 YARDS AND 2 TD!

BASEBALL
THERE WAS A HUGE SLATE OF GAMES FOR THE DAY…IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE, THE YANKEES BEAT THE ANGELS 14-9. IVAN RODRIGUEZ HIT HIS FIRST HOMERUN SINCE BEING TRADED TO THE YANKEES. IT WAS HIS 6TH HOMER OF THE YEAR AS HE WENT 2/3. DAMN, HE IS GETTING OLD. MINNESOTA BEAT CLEVELAND 6-2 TO TAKE OVER THE LEAD IN THE AL CENTRAL. MY WHITE SOX GOT THEIR ASS KICCED AGAIN BY THE SORRY ASS KANSAS CITY ROYALS 14-3. GOD DAMNIT! JOSE GUILLEN HIT ANOTHER HOMER FOR THE ROYALS (16). THE WHITE SOX HAVE NOW LOST THE LEAD IN THE AL CENTRAL! THERE WAS A BRAWL IN THIS GAME IN WHICH MIGUEL OLIVO, OZZIE GUILLEN, ZACK GREINKE, TREY HILLMAN, AND D.J. CARRASCO WAS TOSSED. DETROIT AND TAMPA BAY WENT TO EXTRA INNINGS AS TAMPA BAY PULLED IT OUT BY A RUN 6-5 AS CARLOS PENA WAS WALKED WITH THE BASES LOADED IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 10TH. MIGUEL CABRERA HIT HIS 20TH HOMER OF THE SEASON. BOSTON BEAT OAKLAND 5-2 AFTER A RAIN DELAY ALMOST STOPPED THE GAME. DICE-K PICCED UP HIS 12TH VICTORY TO BRING HIS SEASON RECORD TO 12-2. SEATTLE BEAT BALTIMORE 8-4. TEXAS BEAT TORONTO 8-4 BEHIND 2 HOME RUNS FROM GERALD LAIRD (5,6).
THE CURRENT PLAYOFF SITUATION IN THE A.L. LOOKS LIKE THIS…THE AL EAST LEADER IS STILL TAMPA BAY WITH A 3 GAME LEAD OVER BOSTON AND 5 ½ GAME LEAD OVER THE YANKEES. THE AL CENTRAL IS LED BY MINNESOTA, WHO HAS A ½ GAME LEAD OVER MY WHITE SOX. THE AL WEST IS STILL BEING DOMINATED BY THE LOS ANGELES ANGELS. THE WILDCARD RIGHT NOW IS IN BOSTON’S HANDS, WITH THE WHITE SOX AND YANKEES RIGHT BEHIND THEM.

IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE, WASHINGTON BEAT CINCINNATI 4-2 AS THEY TOOK IT TOO ROOKIE PITCHER JOHNNY QUETO (7-11). COLORADO BEAT FLORIDA 3-2. MATT HOLLIDAY HIT HIS 21ST HOMERUN OF THE YEAR. MIKE JACOBS HIT HIS 23RD HOMER OF THE YEAR FOR FLORIDA. ATLANTA BEAT MILWAUKEE 5-0. THEY ACTUALLY GOT THE WIN AGAINST MILWAUKEE ACE BEN SHEETS (10-5). HOUSTON BEAT THE METS 4-0. THE CUBS BEAT PITTSBURGH 8-5. ALFONSO SORIANO HIT HIS 19TH HOMERUN OF THE SEASON AS DID ARAMIS RAMIREZ. SAN DIEGO BEAT SAN FRANCISCO 4-1. GREG MADDUX PICCED UP HIS 5TH WIN OF THE SEASON TO BRING HIS RECORD TO 5-8. RUMOR IS NOW CIRCULATING THAT GREG MADDUX WILL SOON BE JOINING THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS IF THEY CAN COME TO TERMS ON A DEAL WITH SAN DIEGO ON A WAIVE AND TRADE. SPEAKING OF THE DODGERS, THEY BEAT ARIZONA AGAIN 9-3 BEHIND ANOTHER HOME RUN BY NEWCOMER MANNY RAMIREZ. IT WAS HIS 22ND HOME RUN AS HE WENT 4/5 WITH 2 RUNS AND 3 RBI’S AND OF COURSE THE HOMER. THE PHILLIES BEAT THE CARDINALS 5-4 BEHIND CHASE UTLEY’S 28TH HOME RUN. FOR ST. LOUIS, RYAN LUDWICK HIT HIS 27TH HOME RUN OF THE SEASON.
THE CURRENT PLAYOFF SITUATION IN THE N.L. LOOKS LIKE THIS…THE NL EAST LEADER IS PHILADELPHIA WITH A 2 ½ GAME LEAD OVER FLORIDA AND A 3 GAME LEAD OVER THE METS. THE NL CENTRAL IS STILL LED BY THE CUBS, WHO HOLD A 5 GAME LEAD OVER MILWAUKEE AND A 6 GAME LEAD OVER ST. LOUIS. FINALLY, THE NL WEST LEADER FOR NOW IS STILL ARIZONA, BUT THE LA DODGERS HAVE GOTTEN TO WITHIN A 1 GAME SINCE THE ACQUISITION OF MANNY RAMIREZ, WHO HAS BEEN ON A TEAR SINCE JOINING THE DODGERS. THE NL WILDCARD BELONGS TO MILWAUKEE WITH ST. LOUIS RIGHT BEHIND THEM.

BASKETBALL
THE OLYMPIC TEAM HAD THE DAY OFF…HOWEVER, IT WAS NEWS THAT THE PREVIOUS GAME AGAINST THE RUSSIANS, JASON KIDD WAS BENCHED FOR THE 2ND HALF. KOBE BRYANT SAID THAT IT WAS BECAUSE JASON KIDD IS “OLD”. GOD, KOBE BRYANT IS A BITCH! I HATE THAT MUTHA FUCCA WIT ALL THA HATE I COULD POSSIBLY HAVE FO A MUTHA FUCCA. I HATE KOBE BRYANT LIKE I HATE THE POLICE. (IF THE POLICE ARE READING MY PAGE…GET THA FUCC OFF)
