This is very interesting if you ask me. Why would anyone pay a player to stay retire especially if he can still lead your team into the playoffs? Well, that is exactly what the Green Bay Packers are doing with Brett Favre. They have offered him a 20 million dollar package to basically stay retired and go away. Now isn't that a way to treat a guy who has brought you a championship. I guess loyalty is out the window in this situation.

I will admit that the Packers have handled this very badly and Brett Favre is to blame as much as they are. Most people in Green Bay right now are torn between Favre and the Packers desire to move on with Aaron Rodgers. So, what will Brett Favre do with this latest offer. I think he will turn it down because he wants to play football or he would not be coming back. Favre probably has enough money and does not need this kind of money. If he does show up at camp and declines the offer look for him to get traded.

Well the Coaches have spoken and they tabbed the Georgia Bulldogs as the best team in College Football right now, but we know that can all change in one game. The Bulldogs had an impressive season last year and are bringing back many of their top stars from last year. They will be tough, but playing in the SEC is also very tough as well.

USC and Ohio State also will be two teams that you will also have to watch out for. One saving grace for some teams is these two play each other early in the season so a loss by either one early will not hurt them too bad. Oklahoma is another team to look for as well. The bottom line is their are many teams who could take Georgia's top spot. Let us just sit back and watch the fun and talk about college football all season long. Below is the Coaches Poll.

What about Bob? Glauber's NFL Blog

Roger Goodell has reinstated Brett Favre so he is now able to head to Packers camp. According to various sources he will report Monday around noon. I am sure their will be a media frenzy around this. Favre is still considering two options that the Packers have offered and that is a 20 plus million to go back into retirement or a seat on the bench.

Now I really do not see Favre doing either one. With Favre coming to camp that can only be bad news for the Packers if you ask me. If Favre is their and he is a back-up and plays well in that role some teammates are going to question why start Rodgers over Favre. This will do nothing but divide the Packers which is something you do not want. I think the best option is just trade him and cut their losses. This way the distractions will be gone. trading him out of the conference is something I would look at.

  NASCAR.COM - Conversation: Carl Edwards - Apr 18, 2005

After the rain stopped Carl Edwards used fuel strategy to hold off his competitors and win the Pocono Sprint Cup Race. This also pushed him into third place in the pointy standings. Edwards have been quietly making noise on the circuit, but in a good way this year. Tony Stewart finished second and Jimmy Johnson finished third. Kyle Busch finished 36th and watch some of his point lead shrink.

Kyle Busch still has the point leads and leads everyone with seven wins so far this season. Edwards now has four himself. The Chase this year should be very interesting as their is a lot of fast cars that could be the winner. This year it is real tough to choose a winner, but I would give Kyle Busch the nod right now.
