The Favre-gasm Is Now A Matter of Public Record

In the ongoing trial involving Minnesota Vikings’ defensive tackles Kevin and Pat Williams and the weight-loss supplement StarCaps, the core question at hand is whether the NFL violated Minnesota law by suspending the two players.

Jim Sorgi Just Can’t Get Out From Behind a Manning

I’ve always liked Jim Sorgi, ever since his days quarterbacking the Wisconsin Badgers.
