Team USA Closer To Redeeming Itself

Carl Crawford To Be Out 6-8 Weeks

Carl Crawford, the leadoff hitter for the Tampa Bay Rays, will have surgery on his right hand today and may be out until the final series of the Season, if not longer.


Crawford joined the DL after Evan Longoria was put on the Disabled list with a broken right wrist.

Hopefully the Rays will become healthy down the stretch.

Brett Favre's Arm Is Fatigued

Brett Favre's rocket may have lost some of it's power.

Favre today said his arm felt "Fatigued" and he would begin asking for fewer throws in the afternoon.

Favre said he is still learning the Jets offense, and he said he is learning just enough for him to make his preseason debut on Saturday.

On A Second Note..
To those of you who complained about the cover of Madden being wrong now that Favre was longer with Green Bay, head on over to the EA Sports Website to select downloadable updated covers for Madden NFL 09 that have Favre on the Jets.

"Broadway Brett" Makes First Statements Since Trade

Click on the video below to see Favre's first public statement as a member of the New York Jets.


Here's Michael Bloomberg presenting Favre with his Street Sign.


Finally, the Brett Favre saga is over. Favre was traded from the Packers to the Jets. "Broadway Brett", as I'll call him, has joined the toughest division in the AFC, the AFC East. Now Favre and Tom Brady will meet up twice this season. This is great news for all of us Football Fans.

The trade of Favre meant the Jets had to let Chad Pennington go. Pennington will draw interest from another team, like Miami, another AFC East team.

"Broadway Brett" has become the most prolific Quarterback to join the Jets since "Broadway Joe", Joe Namath. Will this result in the Jets making the playoffs? Jets fans sure hope so.

The Patriots won't go 16-0 again this season. "Broadway Brett" will make sure of it.
