This week in the NFL….
I was stunned last week to learn that 500 Packers fans staged a mock funeral service for their former idol Brett Favre on the eve of his return to Green Bay. But after a standout performance in Minnesota’s win, Favre seems to all and sundry to be very much alive. Either that, or we’re all living through a remake of Weekend at Bernies and nobody’s told us.
Ever popular Washington owner Dan Synder has implemented a new policy that says no fan placards of any sort are permitted inside FedEx Field. So i’m offering a special prize for the first reader to smuggle into a Redskins home game with a 6ft banner reading “Danny Snyder’s a Love God”. Extra points if you’re dressed up as Maverick from Top Gun to honour Snyder’s pal and Washington Super Fan Tom Cruise.
My favourite loon Chad OchoCinco appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman last week promoting his new autobiography, though we suspect he was being slightly economical with the truth when we said he was planning a “special TD celebration which involves me pulling a dancing racoon out of his pants”. Come on, Chad. You expect us to believe that? We all know racoons can’t dance.
