Sanchez becomes the next really rich rookie

Jets rookie QB Mark Sanchez signed a five-year deal worth up to $60 million, with $28 million guaranteed. The starting QB for the upcoming season hasn't been named yet and it is open for either Sanchez or Kellen Clemens.

The off-season news hogger award goes to...

Why is everything all about Brett this off-season?? Anyway Favre had his right shoulder scoped last month apparently and is working on getting back to 100%. The Vikes are still interested for who knows what reason if Favre chooses to come back and unretire AGAIN.

No action against Williamses

Word on the street is that the NFL isn't taking any action to enforce the four game suspensions on the Vikings Pat and Kevin Williams. The pair tested positive last season for a banned substance.

Vick back at home

Michael Vick left prison early this morning to make his way home in Virginia to serve two months of home confinement ending July 20th. As I'm sure most of you are aware, Vick has been serving a prison term for dog fighting. Vick apparently wants to work with the Humane Society now to show his remorse and most likely, restore his public image. NFL Commissioner Goodell suspended Vick indefinitely so I guess we'll have to wait and see if he really believes that Vick is ready to come back and play. Although, I expect to see him back in somebody's lineup eventually.

Gruden to replace Kornheiser on MNF

Former Bucs coach Jon Gruden is going to test his chops as a commentator for Monday Night Football on ESPN. Gruden will be replacing Tony Kornheiser who has decided to leave after three years. For ESPN's sake, I hope Gruden can watch his potty mouth that we're so used to lip reading on the sidelines.

Dancing with the Dolphins

Jason Taylor is back with the Miami Dolphins for a year worth $1.5 million. The former Dancing with the Stars star (that's right I said Dancing with the Stars star, not football star) played (when he wasn't injured, which was never) last season with the Washington Redskins, but was released in March. After spending 11 seasons in Miami, it only makes sense for him to return and stay/retire there.

Dear Mr. Favre

Dear Brett:

It has come to my attention that you are contemplating (yet again) a return to the NFL. I regret to inform you that unfortunately, I have had enough and frankly there is no room in my NFL fandom for you to return. I have come up with possible reasons for your return:

1. You want to further increase your chances of keeping your Most INTs record by throwing at least another 30 this season.
2. You heard the Vikes are interested and have gone senile enough to think that purple would look good on you.
3. You're hoping to go to a Florida team since that's where most people go to retire anyways.

Well here's a thought Brett, just move to Punta Gorda and do what everyone else who has hit freedom 55 does, golf, knit, do crosswords, sail, basically anything but play football. If Punta Gorda isn't good enough for you, you can check this link out.

Good luck in your retirement.

Love,

Barbie

P.S. The hat suits you.
