    I heard that after the NFL fined Favre he might go ahead and retire. However, I just heard that after further review, he decided to stick it out for another year.

    I am not at all worried about meeting Jenn’s father in a dark alley. I mean, what’s one more concussion?

    I have to admit that the word/phrase “chuggingbosscock” caused me to think of a number of my colleagues here on the desk who purport to be “team players”.

    The best thing about being Brett Farve is I get to put my dick wherever I want. Suck it, losers.

    Some NATO, arctic-area nations are our “dark allies” at this time of year so wouldn’t it be normal for a Vikings, and thus Brett Fabre’ to be dark allies?

    Yes, you put it into an investigation and a lawsuit. You bastard, what a fucking example you set for kids who want to achieve NFL fame. Asshole.

    My favorite “power close statements” when I was selling real estate in 2007 were:

    1. “The way things are going, you better buy it now or you may be priced out forever…..”

    2. “If you have to “sleep on it” you may not sleep in it…”
