The nightmare has come to pass: Brett Favre Demands Trade To 1996 Packers.

Even though Randy Moss is a wart on the keister of professional American football, it has to be said that Moss is a very talented wart. It also doesn't say much that the most smartly coached team in the NFL picked him up immediately, as if by giant electromagnet.
Carrie at Bad Mama knows I'm jonesing bad for football -- the shakes, the tremors, seeing John Madden flicker in and out of the corner of my eye -- and she sent me this beautiful link to the current Pacman Jones case (PDF). It's a comprehensive list of damn near everything NFL players have gotten in trouble with the law over the last few years. Learn why Najeh Davenport is called the Dumptruck!
