Somewhere between the NFL Draft and Manny Pacquiao knocking out a guy from Manchester, I realized that I will be done with college life in less than 2 weeks.  There are a few things that I have put on hold during this crazy transition period: writing and sleep.  As of May 23rd, I will no longer be a student at Johnson & Wales University.  It’s been a wild and crazy ride, now it’s time to get this writing career on track!  Expect more updates and articles after graduation..it’s definitely go time!

::::NOW FOR THE SPORTS NEWS::::

First things first, my little brother texted me today saying that I got “jipped” by nfl.com.  He said that they copied my headline.  See if you agree:

I appreciate my brother feeling a little cheated, but Niko, I don’t think there are regulations for headlines…I still think mine is better though. :)

If we  go back to a few Brett Favre posts, it seems that we have already discussed his POSSIBLE return.  Now, I know he’s retired about 56 times within the last 3 years and to be honest, I really think this is the last time.  Although I do think that Minnesota could use someone like him, especially is Tavaris Jackson is only ridiculously good on Madden, but I really don’t think he’s worth the investment.  Plus, that means John David Booty would have to give up his number..not that he had to use it too often.

GET YOUR POPCORN, GET YOUR QUARTERBACK!, GET OUT OF HERE.

Terrell Owens is coming to a television near you..on VH1. What in the world does VH1 know about sports? Besides New York tackling Pumkin on the first “Flavor of Love” reunion special, I just don’ t see who would watch this show.  People, if you are a Terrell Owens fans, that does not automatically make you a football fan.  I’ll say this, TO is why everybody thinks that wide receivers are the biggest babies in the NFL.  This is not to say that there are people who play this position who aren’t good guys, Wes Welker is a good one, of course. 10 touchdowns, 69 receptions  and 1,052 yards in 2008?  Coming from a season with 15 touchdowns and 1355 yards.  I’m a not impressed with the show that Terrell Owens keeps telling us to bring the popcorn to.  When he got traded, I admit, I was a little surprised but I…

I know, I’ve slacked off. The last time I posted was when the University of Texas was still ranked in NCAA basketball, yeah I know, it sucks for me too.  I’ve been busy with writing for the school paper, work and oh yeah, sleeping.   Is it just me or does it seem like everyone has a comment about the whole Michael Phelps thing, my personal favorite is Seth Myers’ from SNL Really?! Kellogs.  This made me giggle a lot, too bad it was at 4 in the morning and all my roomates were asleep.

Brett, it’s good to quit when you’re on top..Ma$e did.
I know a lot of people want to know what I think of Brett Favre retiring again.  As much I’d like to believe that very touching interview he gave with Ed Werder about being able to “honestly say that he will never play football again.” I just feel like the main reason why he’s retiring isn’t because he’s over football, this guy doesn’t know what else he has left to play for. He’s not playing for the team that he built his career on,  he’s 39 years old and Kurt Warner, who’s only two years younger than him was able to be moved around more than the Rams,  go to the Super Bowl with the EXACT same record as the Jets…and almost win, ALMOST. :(   I’m nowhere near a Favre hater, I think he’s a great QB.
464 touchdowns passes
5,720 completions
65, 127 passing yards
169 regular-season wins
Those numbers are exceptional enough to make him one of the best quarterbacks of all time.  I just really have no sympathy for athletes that play with dedicated fans’ emotions.  My sister Kara is a die-hard Packers fan.  The day he decided to retire the first time, she called me so devastated that I thought it was because she found out that they were canceling The Secret Life of an American Teenager .  When she heard he was retiring again, she was almost indifferent to it.  That sucks.  If Wes Welker said that he would never step into another endzone again to catch the immaculate thing we call a touchdown, I’d be pretty devastated, but if he did 2 times in a span of 2 season, I’d probably punch him in the face.
If Brett Favre decides that he wants to try another run at the NFL because riding his bulldozer gets too boring, I would completely understand.  I wonder…
