Well, March madness has arrived and it's not just basketball this year. This has been a really strange off-season so far. In two weeks time, there has been much to reflect on. Some expected, some just flat out mind numbing. Lets start with some of the things we all saw coming.
Brett Favre hasn't decided if he's going to retire or not. No surprise there. I wouldn't expect his answer to come until August. There is no way he's going to suck it up and go through the OTAs. Even at 40 years old he's still one of the best in the game. Sure, he makes mistakes but last season proved he could limit those mistakes and give his team a serious chance at a Championship. Ironically, it was his final mistake that sealed the Vikings fate for 2009.
Mike Holmgren has completely revamped the 2010 [...]

Jets have already made made a big splash in the off season by trading their 2011 3rd round pick (that could turn into a second) to the chargers for cornerback Antonio Cromartie.
But there have been mixed reviews about this trade and many people are considering this trade risky.
One reason is because Cromartie has a troubled past. This includes seven children in five states and according to him with five or six women, assault for hitting a guy over the head with a campaign bottle, $25,000 owed in unpaid child support, etc. (you can read about more of his troubles here)
The second reason, Cromartie has been very inconsistent from his 2007 season where he was one of the best corners [...]

"Will the real Matt Cassel, please stand up?"
For those on the Chiefs football team that didn't stand up, congratulations, you were on the trade block. I wish I could have made this up.
The last week of the NFL has been one of the most exciting that the league has ever had around the time of the trade deadline. The Chiefs themselves even made a move, dealing nose tackle Tank Tyler to Carolina for an undisclosed draft pick in 2010. By the looks of it, it doesn't seem like Tyler was the only Chief who was wondering about where his home will be next week.
As the old saying goes, "Peace Sells, but Who's Buying?" Apparently, Todd Haley and Scott Pioli sure aren't. There was no secret to Haley's minimal stance for misbehavior by his newly acquired team during training camp this past [...]

My dad's a pretty old-fashioned guy.
Strong willed, doesn't say much, doesn't express much in the ways of emotion. What you see is what you get, and sometimes, things are better left unsaid. Which is why it's such a kick to watch him on Sunday afternoons.
Few things in life excite him as much as the National Football League does.
Sure, he always tells stories about how great it felt to watch his sons being born (I, of course, either wasn't there or don't remember), how great it is to reel in a marlin from the ocean that's twice your size (again, not there), but to me, the window into his true personality can be observed for a few faint hours on Sundays and sometimes Mondays or Thursdays.
Charger games bring out the best and worst in his emotional gamut every fall and [...]
