Sound Bites: Brett Favre Retiring

Brett FavreIt was just announced that Green Bay Packers’ Quarterback Brett Favre is retiring, and will not return for another season.

This comes only hours after Randy Moss re-signed with the New England Patriots. It was well documented that Favre had asked the Packers’ front-office for more receivers and playmakers, and had specifically asked that Moss be brought to Green Bay.

Thus, I guess Brett will simply go back to wearing his Wranglers, and rolling around in the dirt…

Congrats to Eli Manning & the Giants…

I’m not much of a pro football fan. I have my favorite teams and all, but usually I don’t really watch the games until the playoffs, mainly because there isn’t any college football.

Anyway, much to the surprise of all the talking heads, the Giants managed to defeat what had been touted as the “greatest team ever” in the New England Patriots. My hats off to the Giants for doing what everyone said was impossible.

Thus, for the second year in a row, the Super Bowl MVP is one of the Mannings.

Olivia ManningI guess next year Olivia Manning will start for the Dolphins, leading them to reclaim their title to the the only truly perfect season.

Sure will suck to be Archie…

Tenn. Home for the Visually Offensive

Yes, you have finally reached it, the one and only…

BANNER%20 %20Tenn%20Home%20for%20Vis%20Offensive Tenn. Home for the Visually Offensive Gate 21

Some people collect fine works of art — Monet, Picasso, Renoir, Larry Flynt (… everyone’s taste is different).  For me, however, there is nothing quite like a well done Fark.  You can keep your landscape, still life, impressionist masterpieces, and all the rest — I prefer something a little different.  For me the masters have names like Fed, HeyBC, Ty, Thomas, and the inimitable LSUFreek. Yes these are the artists which inspire me most, not through their delicate use of color, light, diffusion, or composition, but by their clever ability to doctor a photo and make me laugh.

So what is a “Fark” some of you may be asking.  Well, it all started with the now infamous Fark.com, which first gave a home for “photoshopped” (a/k/a digitally re-touched) photographs.  From there it spread far and wide and became a phenomenon across the net.   Dedicated sports farking found its first home over at the Sooner Fans Fark Board, but I am partial to the Fark Factory on Smash South Sports (A proud winner of the 2007 College Football Blogger Award for Best Photoshop — The Fark of the Covenant).

At any rate, the first gallery includes a few Farks I have done over the years (due to a bad hard drive I lost a great many of mine a few years ago).  After that, you find a little project of mine — the development of the greatest collection of SEC and College Sports Farks ever assembled.

Rants from the Cheap Seats: Jerry World…

 BANNER RANTS Rants from the Cheap Seats: Jerry World… Gate 21

I always thought that I had to pay a lot to the VASF for my season tickets in Knoxville, but I’ve decided that I may be getting a bargain. Cowboys Logo Rants from the Cheap Seats: Jerry World… Gate 21

As you may have heard, Jerry Jones the oh-so-cute-and-cuddly owner of the Dallas Cowboys is now building a new stadium for the Cowboys. This is not going to be your typical stadium, mind you, but rather a giant orgy of stadium construction — Texas style. With a price tag of 1 billion dollars, Jerry World is destined to be a virtual palace which will thrill the senses and boggle the mind. Given the scope of the amenities which will be included in the 80,000 seat structure, fans will be able to enjoy countless food offerings and numerous entertainment choices — including 3 suspended JumboTrons and a huge JumboTron facing out into the freakin’ parking lot. In fact, the current plan is to no longer even have the Cowboys play games, but rather simply allow fans to come to the stadium and bask in Jerry Jones’ magnificent greatness. That’s fine by me … I hate the Cowboys (with apologies to Jason Witten)

Michael Vick: Goin’ to Da Big House…

“Nobody knows da trubble I seen…”

Poor Michael… going up the creek for 23 months (The Big Lead: Breaking: “Mike Vick Sentenced to 23 Months in Prison” and Sports Crack: “Michael Vick Going to Prison”). Another, great career down the drain… cry me a freakin’ river. vick Michael Vick: Goin’ to Da Big House… Gate 21

The reason that Vick is going away, is not because he’s being made an example of, it’s not because there is a witch hunt. It’s because he is a despicable human being who profited from the torturing of animals.

Justice Served!
