Brett Favre triumphantly returns via Madden 09'

Brett Favre has rejoined the Packers. And believe it or not, amicably. It seems that the cheese heads in charge of the Packers weren't ready to turn the reigns of their team over to Aaron Rodgers quite yet. The NFL's most beloved record breaking quarterback is returning to Green Bay for another Super Bowl run after prematurely retiring after last season's play-off loss to the New York Giants.

Brett is returning by way of Madden 2009 on his own terms and he is set to prove that the Pack is "his" franchise. And technically it is, as Favre has used his advance copy of Madden as the springboard for his return to the NFL. He was so distraught about being left out of this years game, that he seized the opportunity to take control of the Green Bay Packers in franchise mode and with the magic of the create-a-player function, he was back in the saddle as the team's "new" and improved , virtual signal caller.

After the stellar reporting on Isiah Thomas and his Will Ferrell signing and my sit downs with Larry Bird, Isiah and Jimmy Dolan, I was upset that the Knicks sent Isiah to Europe or China or wherever "as far away from Madison Square Garden" is. I've been pretty bummed. That is until we were called down to Washington to sit in on the new contract negotiations for Gilbert "Agent Zero" Arenas and Wizards owner Abe Pollin. I knew that this would be an interesting sit down, but what happened during our time there made our brains hurt in ways we didn't think our brains could hurt.

After hearing that snitch extraordinaire Jose Canseco and former Philldelphia Eagles return man Vai Sikahema were going to don the red gloves and go toe to toe in what many believe will be a huge embarrassment to the sport of boxing and somehow manage to tarnish the reputation of Canseco even more than it already has been with the release of his anti-A-Rod manifesto; I thought about which pro athletes I would like to see step in the ring and beat each other senseless. Well, here they are and feel free to comment who you'd like to see fight at the bottom of the page.

It's a bird--it's a plane--it's Zambrano!?!

The strange saga of the Chicago Cubs just keeps getting stranger. It is reported that Carlos Zambrano's Red Bull addiction has escalated to an all-time high. Today the Cub's "Ace" reportedly drank 10 cans of the highly popular caffeinated beverage Red Bull, ran several laps around the bullpen and then suddenly blasted off like he was on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral.

10 Chad Johnson Celebrations that will happen if he's traded
bluemonkeydiscoparty :: 4 months ago :: 618 views

Number #85. Chad Johnson. Ocho Cinco. The man of many monikers and many touchdowns has been in the news the past few weeks on more than a few occasions for what seems to be the first annual 2008 "Chad Johnson No Longer Wants to be A Cincinnati Bengal Tour." Now we at the Disco Party are huge proponents of Chad and have been since he first started talking trash and donning those gold fronts on the atrocious early 00's Bengal squads. And while we will be sad to see Johnson pack up his props and head off to celebrate in end zones on far away fields, we wondered how the most entertaining football player of his generation would celebrate his move to $greener pastures$. Without further ado, we present to you our ideas on what Chad Johnson's last Bengal celebration may look like right before he skips town.
