Espn Classic is showing the Mayorga-Vargas fight tonight, and the Cintron fight from the undercard. Pernell Whitaker-Azumah nelson from 1990 follows that. (Talking to myself)

But why risk further injury to your best player when you have a pretty easy two game strech and a comfortable lead in your divison? If I were a Packer fan, I wouldn't want Favre to get hurt further in game playing aganist the hapless Raiders or Rams 1) No game is a guranteed win in the NFL. You use your best players to win the games. Before Thursday night, Favre was a legitimate MVP contender. Now he should be benched for a couple weeks despite the team already saying he will be fine? 2) People dont like to just end their records or streaks for the hell of it. 3) Favre has had great success vs. Oakland in the past, and would love to do it again and help the team get back on track. He's never won in St. Louis and would obviously like to remove another monkey from his back this season. 4) With a good game against Oakland, which is very possible, he has a chance to break the all-time yardage record at home. If he doesnt start the next two games he would be looking at breaking yet another record on the road. 5) We don't know if Favre is coming back next season so we will take all the games we can get. Especially games at Lambeau vs. the Raiders. 6) The playoff debacle several seasons ago in St Louis was awful for Favre, the team, and the fans. Two Sundays from tomorrow will see a chance for some redemption against a much less talented St Louis team. 7) If Favre does decide to play another season or two he could end up nearing the all-time streak record of the Vikings' Jim Marshall. If he doesnt start against Oakland, obviously, there's no chance for 271. 8) Dallas can still lose somewhere down the line. We need to win every game we can to stay in the possible hunt for home-field advantage. Taking games off or looking past them in any way would be really dumb. 9) This injury is less severe than a similar one last season, let alone several others over the years, and there appears to be no reason why this one would end up ending the streak. 10) Get it yet?

It's just a stupid thing to discuss. This is competitive sport, not some Shakespeare horseshit.

They made John Boenher cry like a bitch in public.

Because there would be no point in ending it if he's healthy enough to play. Let's not go all Espn here, some of you, the game in Dallas (which those of us who grew up seeing Favre get stomped in that town knew we should dread) does not somehow disqualify how he played all the weeks previously. "Wow, Favre played poorly & got hurt in a game where we should have seen it coming...bench him!"

Favre wants to play for what will probably be 3 touchdowns & over 300 yards so he can get over another bad day in Dallas.

Sounds like Favre will start against Oakland.

Thompson himself wrote for the 2004 campaign. John Kerry ended up at his funeral.

Probably.

He'll start. It wont be as good as that one game against the Raiders but he will play well, and Green Bay will win.

Czech can't see the angels.

''I had a similar injury last year,'' Favre said. ''I lost feeling in my fingers and I still have some tingling. But I think I'll be fine.'' Lunchpail as fuck.

It's the inverse of that other thread. Hopefully it creates as much excitement as that! I say: 1) Abraham Lincoln 2) FDR 3) George Washington 4) James Madison 5) Teddy Roosevelt

Atari Bigby is a son of a bitch.

Goddam. I hate the Cowboys.

Neat.

Favre went out with some sort of "elbow stinger." He should be back. Not sure if that would matter, though.

Getting brutal.

Here we go.

Sounds like more bullshit in Dallas.

It was written by some guy trying really hard to be the new Hunter Thompson, or something.

Almost time to fire up the radio.

Fuck yes.

I really don't think you can compare TR's wars to what happened in Vietnam.

The story I linked to above features a friend of Taylor's since childhood. He knew him.
