Does Brett Favre return to the Minnesota Vikings in 2011?

Yeah, yeah, we’ve all heard the story that this will be Brett Favre’s last season in the NFL, but does he return to the Vikings in 2011? You have to ask the question because there is always that possibility and here is how I see it shaping up. Do I think he should return, no, [...]

Start ‘em/Sit ‘em Grades–Week 10

Alright, fans of the “Start These Guys, Sit Those Dudes” post, we’re going to do a post each week grading our picks. That’s right grading. No, not like middle school with A+’s and stuff like that. But, you could think of it that way if you want. Consider a ‘10’ to be an A+ then [...]
