* Green Bay Packer Plans For Favre, Jeffrey Dahmer. When asked about the current playing status of Vikings quarterback Brett Favre this week, Green Bay Packers Linebacker Nick Barnett tipped us off just how extensive — and indiscriminate — his team’s defense preparation will be this season. “If he is retired, congratulations. If he’s not, we have the same goal, and that’s to hit him. It doesn’t matter if he retires or not or whoever’s playing quarterback over there — Norman Bates, Jeffrey Dahmer, Saddam Hussein, doesn’t matter. We still have the same goal in mind, to terrorize him.” [SportsbyBrooks]
* ‘Deep Dish’ to Kobayashi — ‘Should’ve Been Convicted’. He got off easy in court — but hot dog eating legend Takeru Kobayashi is facing a serious backlash from one of his fellow professional wiener gobblers … a guy who thinks TK “should have been convicted.” [TMZ]
* When They Came for the Umpires, We Said Nothing. Last night, we had another Umpire Controversy. These used to be referred to as “bad calls,” but now they’re controversies: They’re the newest reason Baseball Is Falling Apart. [New York Magazine]
* AL Rookie of the Year’s Epic Beatdown Of LaRussa. The Springfield (IL) State Journal-Register today has a baseball yarn for the ages spun by 1983 American League Rookie of the Year Ron Kittle about his former White Sox manager Tony “I know how to f–ing manage” LaRussa. [SportsbyBrooks]
The weekend cometh. As they said in Witness, be careful out there among dem English.
