Firstsly and foremostly, Merry Christmas. 

Secondly, I’ve never hidden my disdain for that pill popping enigma known as farv (Editers Note: the writer intentionlly spelled Brett Favre wrong because that is how those letters are pronounced). But seriously I was just reading some random articles and fox sports included Brett Favre on a list of the ten best stories of 2007.  Joining a list that included Appalachian State’s upset victory, Takeru Kobayashi deep throating abilities, a little league world series walk off homer, and a lady who finished a race with a broken leg.  That writer needs to be fired.  Farv hasn’t done anything yet.  Maybe put him on the list if he wins a Super Bowl, but after just winning a fucking division title, something 25 other professional teams do is bullshit.  I mean I understand they had to beat out the best team in football to win the division, but get serious.

Thirdly, speaking of Sports.  I would fucking love it if Mayweather became a MMA fighter and joined the UFC.

Fourthly, since every guy loves fantasy football, here’s a good story Bill Simmons told. “By the way, I have the Brian Westbrook story to top all Brian Westbrook stories: I know a high roller who’s in a $100,000-per-person fantasy league — $600K for first place, $300K for second place, $100K for third — and got knocked out of last week’s semifinals by five points. He had Westbrook. I defy anyone to top this story.”  Here’s the clip, imagine how pissed you would be, how would you react?  Seriously, you’d have to contemplate suicide.

I wrote all of these articles before my trip.  Meaning today, I am praying that my Vikings won last night.  And also hoping to hell I was able to to watch the Vikes game last night since it was playing at 2:30 in the morning the day before Christmas.  Hopefully, I found a bar that showed it and I didn’t go by myself.  If not, I will be watching the game by refreshing my internet explorer for 3+ hours until about 6 in the morning.  I love my Vikings.  Skol Vikings, Lets Go.

Back with stuff on Wednesday while you guys are off returning all of your Christmas gifts you acted as if you liked.
