"Favre's the MVP and Ted Thompson is an idiot, a moron and an assclown"..  The words of FoxSports.com columnist Jason Whitlock.  I present this column to you without comment... but feel free to comment below.

For what it's worth, Jason Whitlock is a bit of a tool.  He was on the Favre Hatin' Bandwagon earlier.  Take a look at this column he wrote earler this year about #4.

I may have to institute a new rule on the show.  No more stories about the image of Jesus or Mary appearing in everyday items.  After the Jesus Cheeto, where could we go to top that anyway?

Well, because it made it onto WMN, I reluctantly give you this.  First, the Jesus on the truck window story.  I smell a rat.  It looks too clear. 

and then there's this one.  Scientists find the images of Ringo Starr while examining water droplets...

 And if these completely underwhelm you, I offer you a couple of sites to make up for it.

In my quest to find something... anything new to talk about during Brett Favre week two.  I found it in this blog from the New York Times Sports Section.  The title is called Brett Favre and the Interception Myth.  Ask any Packers fan... what's was the worst part of Brett Favre's game?  The answer comes quick.  He took too many chances.  He threw too many interceptions.  The haters will close their arguement with the fact that nobody in the league has thrown more picks. 

But the fact is he's also thrown more passes than anyone too.  And when you break down the numbers it turns out that in terms of percentage of passes intercepted, Favre does much better.  In fact, when you compare him to Hall of Fame Quarterbacks, he's one of the best in history.  He has played so long and so well that his 313 INTs amount to just 3.3 percent of his attempts. In fact, he has been less prone to interceptions than all but five Hall of Fame quarterbacks.

Bart Starr... the ultimate efficent QB right?  Favre easily beats him.   Johnny U?  Not even close.  Take a look:

Joe Namath: 5.8% (3,762 attempts, 220 INTs)

Terry Bradshaw: 5.4% (3,901 attempts, 210 INTs)

Johnny Unitas: 4.9% (5,186 attempts, 253 INTs)

Bart Starr: 4.4% (3,149 attempts, 138 INTs)

Brett Favre: 3.3% (9,280 attempts, 310 INTs)

The only Hall of Famers better?  John Elway 3.1, Dan Marino 3.0, Troy Aikman 3.0 and Joe Montana and Steve Young tied at 2.6%.

Admit it... that surprised you didn't it? 

For the record, two of the 310 have been frozen in my brain forever.  The interception after 4th and 26 against the Eagles.  And of course, this one in the NFC Champtionship Game. 

It was THE highlight of last week's NFL games.  A pigeon on the field at the Raiders game jumped in formation and had perfect "lane discipline" during a kickoff.  While we had a good chuckle about the video, turns out the Raiders were thinking something completely different.  They took it as a sign that it was their lost at sea teammate Marquis Cooper.  They've kept the special teams demon's locker as is.  The Raiders are  wearing his number on their helmets and they say he's never out of their thoughts.   Justin Fargas tells a Sacramento radio station "It seemed comfortable on the football field and comfortable lying down there literally on special teams. It very well could have been Marquis"  Turns out, Cooper's mom was thinking the same thing.  The pigeon was her son, doing his job perfectly one more time.  Find quotes here from SportsbyBrooks..

 in other news, after signing Ahman Green, Ted Thompson also signs Johnnie Gray to a one year contract.

The University of Minnesota has apologized for its Gopher mascot after Goldie was caught on videotape mocking a Penn State player praying.  The university says Goldie will be more religiously sensititve.  What do you think?  Did Goldie go too far?

I first posted this last year, but in honor of A-Ha breaking up (who knew they were still together), I give you A-Ha,Take On Me, the literal version..

and here's a link to another literal version of a video from your youth..

Every week for 3 years of Friday conversations, I've been telling Packers coach Mike McCarthy to throw deep on the first play. He never has. A caller asked if I ever took my own advice while coaching flag football. Oddly, I never did... until the first play of the last game of our season.  We take you inside the huddle of 3rd and 4th graders.  My son John, by the way, is the center.  It all starts with a perfect snap...

Have you ever tried coaching football to kids this young?  It's like herding cats.  Sometimes it's like playing electric football.. you physically have to pick up some players and put them where they belong, only to have no idea where they'll go when the game starts.  Do you have any idea how many things have to go right to get the result in that video?  What a blast..

Had a Circle of Life kind of weekend.  Went to my wife's cousin's wedding Friday.  Was a beautiful service (the kind that makes you guilty for every arguement you ever had with your spouse and great reception.  A long night was followed by another part of the life's cycle.  I got up early Saturday and drove up to Wausau for my uncle Dick Jagler's funeral.  It was as nice as a funeral could be.  Sunday was spent making the lawn tractor do what it wasn't built for... mowing down 3 foot hostas and other garden growth.

Because of all that, I didn't go on facebook.  I didn't tweet .  I didn't blog.  I didn't surf the net.  I could do all of those things in the palm of my hand with my phone.  I've done it in the past.  But there was something going on this weekend that stopped me from doing it.  It's called life.  It was quite liberating.  I spoke to real people.  Laughed with real people.  Cried with real people.   Imagine that.

Was having an agrument Saturday Night with the family about Lady Gaga, proving that yes, I can have an agrument about anything.  Anyway, I was trying to prove my point that despite her generally annoying songs, she is very talented.  I was losing the argument when she came out for her second song on Saturday Night Live wearing a bizarre outfit.  Then, it was as if she heard me all the way in Watertown.  She stopped her DiscoStick song , proceeded to sit down at a piano and started to sing a beautiful melody that turned into a romp that any New York piano bar would be proud of.

And as a bonus, here's the skit where she has a catfight with Madonna, who looks absolutely fantastic...
