I am just glad I'm not a Vikings fan.

There was an interesting interview on Comcast Sportsnet last night with Troy Brown, the retired Patriots receiver/defensive back. He was asked about defending Farve last year and said that the Patriots' coaches told the defense to just hang around, Farve would throw the ball to them sooner or later.

All in all it's really sad that many aging athletes cannot face the fact that their youth and most of the skills they previously had have left them and it's time to get on with life beyond the playing fields.
