can’t hurt. I took vic..din before for a similar surgery, but this time my doc gave me only tylenol with cod..ne, so if some pro qb got that, there would be a good chance a ball could be floated
high and short. Haven’t seen that lately…

I’m sure the painkillers have helped his career a bit too

Dave,

Favre always come off as having this loose and easy attitude toward playing the game which I think does accurately reflect who he is and why he has lasted this unearthly long. But, having said that, it’s easy for anyone to be loose when they are winning, not so much so right now. Meaning, I think that last lame pass of his, whether it slipped or was just a screwup or whether it was meant to be a pass the receiver was supposed to curl back to, is going to haunt Favre this summer. For me, I don’t care if he does waffle, and with this young team I hope he does come back, but right now, as I said, it’s even money he won’t/will return. But, crap, the guy will be 39 !! …old in any sport, except maybe curling and team ice fishing, let alone football..

Haven’t seen it. But both references make me want to. I could never pull off the eye patch like Ray from Dr. Hook. Always had better success with the John Lennon glasses. Models dig intellectuals.

Ramon:

Did you happen to see the repeat of How I Met Your Mother last night? Barney wanted to wear eye patches to pick up women. Then they had the competition of who has more game. “I am William Baldwin in Fair Game, I’ve got so much game.”

Ramon takes the early COW lead.

White roses!! Yes, that’s how it’s done!! That’s what I’m talking about!! Now you get in there with your white roses and white shoes and your cute little white walking cast donned not for the purpose of throwing off the Giants game plan but to insure at the very least a sympathy (redacted)… you go all incognito in your black hoodie and black shades and with your black overnight bag… go in there, man, and make me proud. Because I, Ramon, have officially passed the title of Grand Procreator Of Model Babies unto you.

White roses… yes… but Ramon never needed a fake walking cast. I’ll chalk that one up to inexperience.

Speaking of Favre and waffling:

P3, I’m waiting for the “99% sure I’m going to retire” statement. Which would leave me at even money for Favre coming back next year. I hope he doesn’t do what he’s done in past years (i.e. waffling on a decision for months on end)

I don’t remember the exact newspaper headline or even if it was in the Star or Press (what a lead sentence, ay) but the one that said something like “3 Tynes and you’re out” was, I admit, pretty catchy, though I wished it read “Pack Powers to Bowl”. Alas, you would think Favre of all people knows in frigid weather that ball needs more Oompf on it, but who knows if it just slipped coming out of his hands, but he’s not talking. Can’t blame him…Even money he won’t return..
