After a great Sunday of football, we get a story from the police wire about a guy who left the game many years ago? Then again, the Giants could have probably used him yesterday.

In this life the low road sometimes takes you a more interesting route.

<Probably too early for a reference like this>

The Bears are an embarrassment, the Packers got upset on the road by the previously win less Bucs, and the Giants can't seal the deal on a game that was basically over. Nice weekend for this Vikings fan.

Taylor cleaned up his lifestyle and has lived a sober, drug-free life since 1998. So let's not go there.

are you really sure he is clean and sober?

November 9, 2009  07:06 AM ET

This is nice too....

still a piece of crap after all these years. Go do another line.

His book 'Living on the Edge' was revealing and put it all out there for people to know...

... he has not been in the news, so would imagine things are fine with him.

Face it, is "leaving scene of accident" a major thing?

It CAN be, depending on the damage.

However, how many of us have been in minor fender benders where you and the other party agree to handle it yourselves... not involve the cops or insurance companies?

That is NOT what leaving the scene of an accident is. The charge is based on 1 party having severe damage and the other party leaving. The most common reason for leaving the scene is that the person is highly intoxicated.

Was Brett drunk when he left Green Bay?

Yeah, the Vikes gained ground by sitting around in front of the TV watching games. At least I hope they got to watch some games. Did Brett make up his mind about that TV at Sears yet?

November 9, 2009  07:39 AM ET

How is this news? Who really cares how much damage some has-been creates in his abundant spare time?

... and that's a totally different matter.

Is that what happened in this case?
