Favre Has Become A New York Jets

People in New York especially Jet fans should be very happy today as they now have a franchise quarterback to lead them. Favre was traded to the Jets for a conditional draft pick which could be a number one if Favre leads them to a Super Bowl appearance. I do not see that happening, but you never know.

Favre should fit in well in the New York Jets offense and with the new players that the Jets have added in the off-season they have a good shot of making the playoffs. Chad Pennington will be cut to make room for Favre. It will be interesting to see how everything works out for Favre and the Jets not to mention Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

Lebron James To Europe?

Now just think one of the NBA's best young superstar in a Russian or European teams uniform. This is a possibility that might just happen. The European market has very deep pockets and have the money to pay. Many people think James could be offered around 50 million a year to play in Europe.

In fact people close to James says he will listen to all offers and might even play in Europe if the money is right. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out, but Lebron James could be in Europe real soon. I guess we will see how this all plays out. In my opinion though he will stay right here and go to New York or New Jersey.

Barry Bonds Gets Invite To 50th celebration

Barry Bonds will be getting an invite to the San Francisco Giants 50th celebration from moving from New York to San Francisco. Bonds who was not resigned by the Giants last year will be one of many outfielders that will be invited to the celebration.

Now I do not know if Barry Bonds will show up, but it would not surprise me if he does. He likes the limelight and this is a honor he might just like a lot. Bonds is still unemployed this season and it looks like that will continue for a long time.

If Barry Bonds does show up it will be interesting to see how well he is received. Known Giant fans they will probably give him one of the loudest cheers. In San Francisco he is a very popular player.

Steve Smith Makes An Apology

Days after Steve Smith clocked Ken Lucas in a Carolina Panthers practice he came back and gave an apology to his teammates and Ken Lucas the man he assaulted. Smith was totally wrong in what he did and the Panthers were correct in suspending him the first two games of the season.

Smith maybe the best player the Panthers have, but conduct like this cannot be tolerated and must be dealt with. It is a shame it has come to this, but I am glad to see the Panthers have stood up for what is right and not let him get away with it. Smith will come back a much better player that is for sure.

Brett Favre Has Returned!

Brett Favre has returned to the National Football League and I guess that is a good thing. Aaron Rodgers who was promised the starting quarterback job once Brett Favre retired maybe a backup once again. Packer management has a tough decision to make. They know they will be a better team with Favre at the helm, but they do not want to go back on their word to Aaron Rodgers either.

Rodgers contract is up soon and he maynot want to resign with the Packers. This means that all the time they put in Aaron Rodgers would have been wasted. The Packers are going to have to decide what they want to do. Keep Rodgers as the starter and trade Brett Favre or keep Favre and hope Rodgers will resign. It's a tough decision either way they go.

Brett Favre Mulling Over Packers Offer

Brett Favre is thinking about the offer that the Packers offered him to stay retired. It is in the neighborhood of 20 million to not show up at camp or play just stay retired. This really makes no sense to me as they are a better team with him at quarterback.

The Packers really do not want to see Favre playing for someone else, but i look for that to happen. Favre wants to play and it is not about the money with him. He has plenty of money. He wants to play football and it will be with some team this year.

Manny, Griffey Jr, And Others Get Traded

Manny Ramirez wanted out of Boston and that is exactly what happen as he was traded in a three way deal to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Griffey Jr headed to the Chicago White Sox and Jason Bay who was part of a three way deal with Boston In the Manny trade is now a Boston Red Sox.

I think out of all of this the Los Angeles Dodgers could become the big winners in all of this. Manny is a talent and will help the Dodgers out right away. They also got Casey Blake early this month from the Indians so now they are ready to win their division. Manny will be a welcome addition.
