Well, what do you expect?

With still more than a few months left before we get to see what the 2010 NFL football season has in store for us, Brett Favre ain’t budging yet when asked on what exactly are his plans for his imminent future in the NFL.

You see, Brett Favre said that he still hasn’t decided yet on whether he’ll play again next season, and doesn’t expect to make an announcement anytime soon. Well, we can’t say we haven’t heard something like this from him before.

Appearing on NBC’s ”The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” Favre, who played for the Minnesota Vikings last season, politely balked when host Jay Leno asked for his thoughts on returning for the 2010 season.

”Well Jay, it’s only been a month, and I know now that I’m just not going to say anything anytime soon, just going to kind of sit back, relax, enjoy the offseason,” Brett Favre said in his first public appearance since the Minnesota Vikings lost in the NFC championship game at New Orleans back in January 24.

The pride of Kiln, Miss., Favre is the NFL’s career leader in nearly every major passing category. Hell, the guy’s a three-time league MVP too. The former star quarterback of the Green Bay Packers had one of his best seasons ever after doing what was once unfathomable, playing for Green Bay’s rivals, the Minnesota Vikings.

The Vikings were rewarded with 33 touchdowns and the lowest…

With Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui no longer part of the Yankees, can these guys return to the World Series this year?

That is the question most Yankee fans are asking themselves as we kick off the brand new 2010 MLB baseball season. Will the key additions of Javier Vasquez and Curtis Granderson be enough to fill the holes Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui left on the roster?

Without a shadow of a doubt, both Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui were keys in the Yankees’ World Series run in 2009. Hell, Matsui was the 2009 World Series MVP for crying out loud. Thankfully, the Yankees are deep enough on both offense and with pitching that they can probably afford to lose out on those key elements on their title run heading to the season.

While some will remember Vazquez’s bad first go-around with the New York Yankees, things will be drastically different in that he won’t be counted on to be the ace or even second-best pitcher on the team. He’ll be the fourth starter behind CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, and Andy Pettitte. There is no questioning Vazquez’s stuff and the second tour on duty with the Bronx Bombers should be a lot smoother.

Granderson can do a lot of things on offense, but would be so much better if he could hit lefties (.210 career batting average). Yet, in a lineup that includes Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez, Robinson Cano, Jorge Posada, and newly (re)-acquired Nick Johnson, Granderson will be alright.

And so will the Yankees as they have a great shot to…

Where we see new McLaren teammates, Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton try to play down what could be an utter dick swinging contest between the two all year.

That’s right, the 2010 F1 season will kickoff in Bahrain this Sunday with defending world champion Jenson Button looking for a re-peat while the youngest world champion in F1 history, Lewis Hamilton, looking to repeat the championship season he had in only his second year in the sport.

And in case you didn’t know, both Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton will be teammates this season at McLaren, leading most fans to believe that these two will be at each other’s throats at some point this year since both guys’ gigantic egos will be going for the same thing in this campaign.

Of course, for now, both guys are still playing the part their bosses from McLaren are paying them to. Hell, both of them even jokingly acknowledged that they’re just doing what they were told to do. As Jenson Button so eloquently put it, ”It’s all for show! We’re doing exactly what we were told to do by Steve (Cooper, the McLaren PR).”

Surely, nobody can argue that right.

For now, both drivers are ready for what could be one of the most intriguing seasons in F1 history. With Michael Schumacher back and young new players like Sebastian Vettel…

And by ”they” we mean those NFL folks watching Colt McCoy take himself out of the BCS championship game with a broken shoulder.

Suffering an injury in a championship game is a frightening experience for any athlete but things like that do happen and in this year’s BCS national championship game, we saw exactly that as Texas Longhorns quarterback Colt McCoy suffered a shoulder injury during his final game for the ‘Horns against eventual BCS champs, the Alabama Crimson Tide.

In case you missed it, it was just four minutes into the game when the unfortunate injury happened. Texas Longhorns quarterback Colt McCoy ran the ball on a keeper, only to get stuffed.

Before the play was over, Marcell Dareus of Alabama had slammed into McCoy’s shoulder, causing a pinched nerve and knocking McCoy out of the game, the final one of McCoy’s college career.

Many experts see McCoy as a first round pick in the upcoming 2010 NFL Draft but with this injury, McCoy’s stock might go down a bit. McCoy would have to convince the rest of the NFL that his arm would be strong and healthy enough to throw the types of passes that work best at the pro level, both in terms of bullet passes over the middle or deep balls.

Perhaps the worst part about McCoy’s injury, assuming that he recovers fully, is the fact that it denied him a chance to play the bulk of the minutes in college football’s showcase game, a game in which many NFL types were likely watching.

A good performance on the big stage could have boosted…

Yep, after Howard Stern hinted that he’ll be hosting something like this on his radio show for weeks, guess what, HE ACTUALLY DID.

In case you’ve been living under a rock lately, Tiger Woods has been losing all kinds of endorsement deals lately after the public found out that the very clean and polite sports icon has been cheating on his wife all this time.

Unbelievable ain’t it? This was after Woods and his wife, Elin Nordegren, smashed their SUV into a fire hydrant on Thanksgiving, leading some to believe that there was some kind of marital spat between the two inside the vehicle that led to the unfortunate accident.

Rachel Uchitel was the first of Tiger Woods’ mistresses that the public learned about, probably because it was Uchitel who Nordegren initially accused Tiger of cheating with. Soon, every other one of Tiger’s mistresses came out, all probably longing to have the same media attention the other has been getting.

And boy, there sure were a lot of them.

And since all of them are grade A asses suitable for a sports icon like Tiger Woods, Howard Stern couldn’t help himself but go grab a piece of the phenomenon. So, he hosted a beauty pageant exclusively for all of Tiger’s lovely mistresses on the Howard Stern Show. Unfortunately, Rachel Uchitel couldn’t be on it after she agreed to some kind of deal with…

For some reason, the National League always plays second fiddle to the American League because its counterpart has the Yankees and the Red Sox.

Coming to the 2010 MLB baseball season, teams from the National League will once again have the opportunity to outshine those more popular teams from the American League. Yup, betting on these NL teams won’t be that bad of an idea at all.

So which of these NL teams are worth the buck? What about the Los Angeles Dodgers? For the Dodgers, the contract extension of Joe Torre was a huge lift to their spirits. And with Torre still on board, I can’t see any reason why this team will fall from grace anytime soon.

Torre, who originally figured to retire following the 2009 season, said he had committed to a one-year extension that will take his current deal through 2011. Torre’s agent, Maury Gostfrand, and the Dodgers are working on the financial details.

When Joe Torre originally signed a three-year contract to manage the Dodgers starting in the 2008 season, he only intended on managing two of those years. He structured the deal that way because he didn’t want to feel like a lame-duck manager after just one year in Los Angeles.

But then the Dodgers advanced to the NL Championship Series in 2008 and 2009, prompting Torre to stick around and see what might happen next. Even before seeing the results of the 2010 season, he wants to make sure he’s around for one more year.

Make no mistake, though, Torre will manage in 2011 and then…

Pacquiao’s fans should enjoy this now before their favorite third world moron finally gets caught using steroids.

In what should be an utter disrespect to the sport of boxing, Bob Arum’s shady promotion at the Cowboys Stadium this Saturday, otherwise known as the Manny Pacquiao – Joshua Clottey fight, will show just how fucking pathetic his prized Pacman really is in trying to fool his fans that what they’ll be watching this weekend is an actual boxing fight.

I can tell you right now that it’s anything but. You see, Manny Pacquiao and his people handpicked Joshua Clottey and paid him off for him to take a dive right there in the middle of the ring in Dallas just so Pacquiao’s fans, (all fifteen of ‘em…) can continue to fool themselves into thinking that Pacman is a decent fighter.

Now I promised myself to not waste my time in such a sorry excuse to bamboozle fight fans into this shit Bob Arum is running. Heck, Arum is so adamant in trying to market this fucking charade that he’s even dubbing this fight between Manny Pacquiao and Joshua Clottey as ”The Event.”

Of course, we all know that this THING (I’m not even calling it a boxing match…) this Saturday is not ”the event” fight fans were asking to see. But thanks to Manny Pacquiao’s hesitation to submit himself to the rules of boxing, (you know, like submitting yourself to simple drug tests and what not…) we’re all left with this skit Bob Arum and Manny Pacquiao came up with.

You see, Manny Pacquiao was supposed to fight the best pound for pound…

Are you ready?

Yes, in case you didn’t know, the 2010 F1 season will kick off this weekend in Bahrain for the first time. And as far as the favorites for the 2010 title is concerned, well, let’s just say it’s everybody’s game with Michael Schumacher returning, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton still trying to find their dominant selves and young kids like Sebastian Vettel trying to own everything five years early.

Yup, most pundits are claiming that Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel could very well pose a threat to this year’s world championship. He led Red Bull to a fantastic showing last season and it’s understandable why everybody’s paying attention.

On the other hand, Vettel’s teammate, Mark Webber, isn’t fazed by all the attention his teammate has been receiving. He’s determined to have a strong campaign in 2010 and he’s not worried about Vettel one bit.

”A lot of people see my teammate, Sebastian Vettel, as my biggest rival this year,” Mark Webber said in an article in The Guardian. ”I have to say that there’s a lot of quick drivers out there and some pretty good teams. Seb is going to be a quick driver, no question about it. But I’m not going to bed thinking about him; I’m going to bed thinking about myself and doing the best job I can, to get the best results I can, for myself.”

”There’s many things to look forward to in this year’s Championship. It’s good for Red Bull Racing because we’ve got a lot of continuity in the team.”

”We’re still with Renault engines and, driver-wise, we’re very…”

Man, how long can the Mavericks keep on winning?

The last time we took notice of the Mavericks’ ridiculous winning streak this 2010 NBA basketball season was five days ago, when they were going after their 9^th straight win and remain the hottest team in the league at this point of the year.

The Dallas Mavericks were up against the Minnesota Timberwolves then and, to nobody’s surprise really, they got their 9^th straight victory. Five days later, the Mavericks are still winning and we’re picking them up right now as these guys go for their 12^th straight win.

What’s funny is the fact that we’re picking up the Mavericks just before they kick the living daylights out of the Minnesota Timberwolves again. Yup, for some reason, the Wolves find themselves right in the middle of this freight train’s tracks, for the second time in five days. Ouch.

With wins over the Suns, the Magic, the Heat, the Pacers, the Lakers, the Hawks, the Hornets, the Bobcats, the Wolves, the Kings and just recently, the Bulls, the Mavericks” 11-game winning streak is now arguably the best any team has accomplished this season. They are playing like the best team in basketball right now. Don’t believe me? Just ask the Bulls.

In the Mavericks’ win over the Chicago Bulls, shades of that 2006…

I’m hoping the Patriots will have the balls to go ahead and sign this dude.

The 2010 NFL football season is shaping up to be an interesting one to say the least with two of the league’s biggest and longest tenured running backs parting ways with their respective teams.

The releases of LaDainian Tomlinson and Brian Westbrook have set off a firestorm of rumors and speculation about where the two backs might end up next season. Both still have a little something left in the tank, so it’s just a matter of finding the right team for their skill sets.

As far as LaDainian Tomlinson is concerned, he limits his prospective employment to teams capable of winning the Super Bowl. He has reduced his options to a very small field. And then he’s going to have to take a very modest contract, given his performance level in 2009 (730 rushing yards, 3.3 per carry, 20 catches) for a very good team.

There is a reasonably good chance no Super Bowl contender will offer Tomlinson, 30, that chance. But history says that Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots might, or Mike Shanahan in Washington could. This is not to say the Redskins are a Super Bowl contender.

It appears that unless Tomlinson is willing to join a team like the Cincinnati Bengals or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, his best chance to reach the Super Bowl still might be through San Diego. And he just cashed out there.

One good fit for Tomlinson are the New Orleans Saints…
