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.

Rays Get Beat Again On The Road

The Tampa Bay Rays are finding living and traveling on the road can be very tough as the Kansas City Royals sent them to their seveth straight loss with a 4-2 win. The Rays are a great home team, but have struggled to win games on the road and unless that chnages they will not make the playoffs. MLB does not let you play every game at home. If they did Tampa Bay would be very tough to beat. Road wins are a must if you want to make the playoffs.

Bill Hall Saves The Day For Milwaukee

Bill Hall has been vocal about his limited playing time against left handed pitching and not being used everyday by the Milwaukee Brewers. Last night he showed why he should be playing all the time when he hit a 3 run home run in the 10th inning to give the Brewers a 6-3 win over the Cardinals in 10 innings. This pushed the Brewers into a second place tie with the Cardinals.

Jason Taylor Now A Redskin

The Miami Dolphins have traded Jason Taylor to the Washington Redskins for some draft choices. This is probably a good move for both teams. The Redskins have already lost two defensive ends to season ending injuries so they needed someone that could fill the void.

Meanwhile the Miami Dolphins are rebuilding and get two draft choices in the deal. Bill Parcells and Jason Taylor was not on the best of terms anyway so this is probably a good move for both teams. Taylor has two years left on his contract and will probably play that out.
