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 [...]

It has just been reported that Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie has been kicked off of the NFC Pro Bowl team, because he missed practice on Friday and Saturday. Personally, I think this is ridiculous.
Can the NFL and Roger Goodell relax a little and realize that nobody, including the players care about the Pro Bowl. Yes, everyone likes to get recognition for having a good season, so they all like to be selected to the Pro Bowl roster but nobody cares about the actual game.
I just think that it is a shame that someone like McKinnie who had a great year is being punished because he missed two practices for a game that does not matter one bit. Can the NFL start to use some common sense when it comes to making decisions. I mean this is a guy who was a major part of a [...]

The media icon that is the NFL seemed to go from a league with players playing to win and get the prize inside every box (the Super Bowl) to a league that's been loaded with player conduct problems, divas, and players just in it for the money.
On Aug. 8, 2006, Roger Goodell was selected to succeed retiring commissioner Paul Tagliabue, voted on by 31 NFL GMs (Oakland abstained from all voting).
Goodell officially became the acting commissioner on [...]

Hi, happy holidays. Welcome to our 2008 NFL Christmas party. Thanks for coming. So glad you could make it. No worries about being late – you’re not the only one. We’re still waiting on Plaxico. He does this every year. Hopefully he’ll show soon – he has a great surprise awaiting him. I heard that Antonio Pierce drew Plaxico’s name for Secret Santa; earlier tonight, I found Antonio in the guest room, wrapping a Red Ryder BB Gun.
Can I take your coat? Actually, it looks like it’s a little wet from the snow. [...]

I'm not usually one to gripe about our politicians (most of their work can't be judged until history plays itself out) but in the case of Arlen Specter and his role in Spygate, I can't help but ask "What the hell?"
Specter has made it clear that in his mind's eye, the Spygate controversy surrounding the NFL and New England Patriots is not over. But here's the deal: first, what does any of it have to do with Arlen Specter? And second, Roger Goodell is the commissioner of the NFL. He said its over, which means, its over. Goodell was criticized for destroying the first batch of tapes, so, learning from the mistake, he shared the new tapes with the media. [...]
