"I wouldn't hit on 20," Favre said. "But I sure would hit on 16."

Brett Favre has Balls, no doubt. He is a gunslinger, who can't help himself-- even when he is winning...he has to risk it-- like betting on 20 in a blackjack game of 21. Maybe that is why we love him, and love to hate him. Atleast the Jets won. Phew---

Above: A pass by Favre was picked off by Jabari Greer and he returned the interception 42 yards for a touchdown to make it a 23-17 game with 10:53 remaining. It was the third time this year that Favre had a pick returned for a score. Bet on 20????

from the glabe and mail.

Yesterday afternoon, 11 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, on the road, up by 13 points, first down for the New York Jets in their own end of the field.

“One of the toughest losses I’ve ever been a part of,” Jets’ Brett Favre said.

Sebastian Janikowski bailed out the Oakland Raiders by kicking a  team-record 57-yard field goal with 2:30 left in overtime. Raiders nabbed a 16-13 victory over Brett Favre and the New York Jets on Sunday.  The media is ragging on Brett, saying that it was his worst game yet with the team--"Only one of Favre's first 17 completions went for more than 15 yards as he frequently checked down to his underneath options. He also had two interceptions and 124 yards passing before the game-tying drive at the end of regulation."

Ouch. I'm happy I am in China this week, and slept through the pain of watching it.  Reading it hurt's less.

ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight champion Manny Pacquiao(right) started his training in preparation for his December 6 fight against impending retiree and boxing legend Oscar de la Hoya (left).

The boat will be a "Super Welterweight" fight, where the weight limit is 154 lbs. or nearly 20 lbs. more than the weight limit for lightweights such as Pacquiao.

The Birth of "IRON" Mike Tyson.

I love watching old Tyson fight footage. Mike Tyson was 20 years old, when he knocked out Trevor Berbick (32 years old) in this fight in just under 5 and a half minutes.  Mike became the poster boy of late 80's hip-hop after this. He represented "the real".  Even though he would claim he was from "Catskills NY", hip-hop reminded us that he was from Brownsville, Brooklyn.
