During his interview on HBO's "Joe Buck Live," Brett Favre made a seven-word statement that, when taken in the context of his comments around them, makes perfect sense. "I play because I love to play." He was discussing how, as he put it, he's not motivated to consider coming...

For years, we have heard the mantra from general manager Ted Thompson that the Packers' draft philosophy involves selecting the most favorite three-word phrase every late April: "best player available." There are differing theories as to whether that's the best move for Green Bay to...

If New York Jets coach Rex Ryan and his fellow brass follow three Big Apple football writers' advice, Brett Favre won't be a New York Jet in 2009. If the Jets follow the path of simply cutting him, as Favre wanted the Packers to do in the summer of 2008, that could open the door to him getting...
