Last night, Favre told the media that Childress wanted to take him out of the game but Minnesota’s elder quarterback refused. Suffice to say, Chilly was none too pleased.

Two Minute Warning: Dear Summer, Go Away

I live in New Jersey and frequent the Jersey Shore with the consistency of Jake Delhomme’s quarterbacking. While I enjoy many of the perks of the summer, lighter workload, good scenery, vacation, etc., this is THE time of the year.
