Help! I'm all Favred-out!

Like most sports fans, I'm suffering from a severe case of Favre Fatigue. I don't have a problem with him coming back, and it takes two to tango (or will it be tangle?), so the Minnesota Vikings are as big a player in this soap opera as the NFL's all-time diva quarterback. But enough is enough, already. You'd think something monumentally important had just happened - like a cure for cancer or a solution for world peace.

That said, I do believe Vikings legend Fran Tarkenton went off the deep-end criticizing Favre. If they ever make another sequel to "Grumpy Old Men'' they ought to contact Fran for a starring role.

I understand Syracuse scheduling two home games against Notre Dame in the new Giants Stadium in the Jersey Meadowlands, but I wish they had kept their USC home game in the Carrier Dome. I also believe there might be more Subway Alumni than Orange fans at those Notre Dame games, so whose home game will it really be?

If the Red Sox don't make hay in this weekend's Fenway Park showdown with the Yankees, the race for the AL East will be history.

Kudos to Bills fans for gobbling up 55,000 season tickets for the second season in a row. Yes, the price was right because they didn't have to pay for the one home game being playing in Toronto, but it's still a great show of support by a fan base that hasn't experienced a playoff game in nearly a decade.
