I know Blade is a Kansas City area resident and I actualy had the honor of eating a Fleamarket burger right next to him a couple of days ago and I was wondering if you ever saw him around these parts? I know he's got a house down by the Lake of the Ozarks but I'm not down there at all, so I was wondering if you saw him at random plavces here like I did?

Brett Favre is a living legend. So what if he likes attention? He does it IMO. That's also a good point I didnt' really work into the posting. The guy has earned the right do take his time. He got forced out by the Packers when he felt he could still play. He was right, and really they were right for going with their future QB. That doesn't mean he still doesn't have the right to play football or take a few months to try and figure out if he's healthy enough to play. It's no joke, the media has to jump on anything that could be a story, and it was a story 3 years ago, now the media invents every story that is associated with it.

In all honesty I can't say that Favre doesn't love the attention, but if that is so, the media can do nothing but feed that love non stop. I mean they have full reports of Favre mowing his lawn, Favre working out with a high school team, Favre stepping outside and breathing air. It's all big news that they need to report to make sure they have ratings and make sure that papers are actually read by a few people.

I know there's a 2010 NFL Offsesaon thread but it really seems like this demands its own tread.
I'll tell you that I think differently from 99% of the media. I think that Favre really intended on retiring when he sent the texts a week or so ago, but when veterans like Allen, Hutch, Longwell, Winfield, and Pat Williams told him how much they needed him he started to change his mind. Hutch, Allen and Longwell today changed his mind for sure and he decided he could play.
The big thing is the media is what makes this a big story. The media follows him in a helicopter. The media jumps on every single word he ever says to try and write a story and as a journalism major I can understand the need to make a story that people want to read in the times that written media is dead. It's nothing but a story now. Now the narative is that Favre is some jerk who thinks he is bigger than the game, but as the season goes on, and assuming he is successful, the media will verbally felliate him again and all will be forgotten.
Just remember how the media treats him today and how they will treat him in the middle of the year, and if he goes on to win the Super Bowl, how they will treat him at the end of the year. The sports media is full of hypocrits.
Thanks for listening to my rants, I have been a sports writer for multiple websites but this is the one place I felt I could just write without censoring anything and just let my feelings on the situation run. If there is hate, let the haters hate.

Yeah I'm not trying to hate but when I saw Sandman the first thing I thought was he looks terrible, but I still marked out

One angle that i remember that didn't lead to anything was Paul Bearer was fueding with the Undertaker and the Undertaker said he had to bring someone back to fight him, then no one ever showed up. I thought it would lead to a good return or a good debut but it was never mentioned again.

Maybe it's a returning Batista, or maybe it's Trips getting revenge for Michaels, but yeah it's probably Kane

I remember Blackman's fight against Mero he took him down about 200 times, but injured himself int he process and had to drop out. I'm still really confused by the fact that even though Steve Williams was a tough guy and a legit wrestler they expected him to beat Dan Severn. I also heard they wanted Shamrock in it which would have been a terrible idea for everyone else in the competition. He's a joke now, but 12 years ago he was one hell of a shoot fighter.

Did anyone else find it weird that in the past couple of weeks on NXT the rookeis have been t alking about workate? I mean it makes sense fromt he competition point of view to say that Otunga can't wrestle, but it seems like it's a big break of kayfabe? I"m not trying to complain or anything, it just struck me as odd.

This was fantastic to watch. The best part was I was watching with my girlfriend who does not like wrestling at all, but liked Danielson on the NXT show because he "looked normal." She was cheering along and enjoyed the beatdown of Cole as well. Even non fans don't like Cole.

I'm just wondering if Taker is done next year at Wrestlemania. Flair gets retired by Michaels, who gets retired by Taker, who gets retired by Honestly I think Taker retires with his streak in tact, but you never know...

Oh and I don't mean to double post, but I've thought he was the next Angle for awhile. He doesn't have the true interview skills yet, but he can rile up a crowd without much effort. I think he'll do very well as champ.

Wow quicker than I thought. Ok, here's all I want to know. For those of you who try to avoid spoilers... Were you able to navigate through the week without finding this one out, and if so how? You know I've been out of the IWC for awhile. I love this site, but I really haven't been on the message board in awhile. I watched my DVR of Smackdown tonight and was shocked and amazed. Good stuff. It's not hard to ignore if you don't try, I'm not sure if I can put it better or worse than that, but I've also got a few beers in me.
