The Last Act....of a Selfish Man

Leave it to Brett Favre....to go out with a bang...on Monday Night Football.

How selfish it was for Favre......to start a game for the 5-8 Vikings....who had already been eliminated from the play-offs.

So when he got slammed on his head....on the frozen turf....in the first quarter......Favre got his "just deserts".

Now......can he just go....away?

From the Minneapolis Star:

Chicago 40, Vikings 14

Brett Favre was sacked in the second quarter.

Tampa Bay lets victory slip away against Atlanta

The Bucs watched a 10-point fourth-quarter lead slip away in a devastating 28-24 loss to the Falcons.

At 6-6......maybe the Indianapolis Colts and Peyton Manning......are....dare we say, "over-rated"?    11 interceptions in the last 3 games?
