So Chad Ochocinco wants to do the Lambeau Leap if he scores a touchdown this Sunday.
Have at ‘er, Chad.

My take? Favre didn’t sign his retirement papers in winter ‘08 because he knew he wanted to make a comeback. He asked for his release from the Jets, making him a free agent, for the same reason. Comeback.
But Brett Favre is old. And it’s a new(ish) system, so Childress would want him at every OTA, practice and scrimmage. Favre doesn’t like that idea. He’s Brett Favre, after all. –>
And the Vikings would want him to have surgery. But after the shit-4-brains partial colonectomy, he’s not a big fan of surgery. (Hey, neither am I.) He thinks it’ll heal well enough on it’s own.
Plus, Brett’s pretty sure he can beat Sage Rosenfels and Martin Lawrence for the starting QB job with his arm as-is. So Brett’s just gonna sit tight, clutching his freshly printed Get Out Of New York free agent card. And as we’ve learned, Brett will go to inappropriate lengths to get what he wants. Just like he alluded to in the David Letterman Incident, when training camp comes around, expect Favre’s itch to play to come back. (No, he’s still not willing to rub gynelotrimin on it to make the itch go away. I’ve already asked.)
And then you can expect Brad Childress to say something like “You had me at ‘Can I skip all the practices?’ “
After that, you’ll see proof that Favre really isn’t thinking about the loyal fans in Green Bay he’s gonna screw by trying to win one game in Lambeau…wearing purple.

They must have needed some filler material. Either that or I was able to convince them that the “personal invitation” I received from Packer President/CEO Mark Murphy was really crafted by Murphy, sitting at his desk, emailing his bff, and that I’m worthy of some serious credentials.
Whatever the case, the usually pristine sports pages of TheScore.com are being soiled today by my words, recapping my thoughts on the upcoming NFL draft. If you want to have a look at what I think the Packers draft needs are and what Ted Thompson’s going to do to fill them, stop on over. Though I kept it to under 300 words, as you’ve come to expect from this blog, it’s as hard-hitting and detailed as anything I’ve ever written.
Which actually isn’t saying much.
