Feschuk:<\/strong> Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of the Minnesota Vikings. Welcome to the NFL\u2019s hottest soap opera, where tensions are running so high between Brett Favre and Brad Childress that it\u2019s only a matter of time until they get in a fistfight or start making out. Favre has described his injury as a \u201cbroke foot\u201d because he\u2019s from Mississippi and words like \u201cfractured\u201d and \u201cankle\u201d done got too many dem fancy \u201csyllbulls\u201d in \u2019em. Will Favre\u2019s ankle be healthy enough for him to play but painful enough that he can limp around engendering our collective sympathy? We sure hope and also know so. Meanwhile, Childress keeps taking shots at his own players — most recently by saying he hopes he that \u201cone of these days\u201d he gets to coach a team as mentally tough as the Patriots. If the Vikings somehow turn this around, Childress may be the first NFL coach to be doused with Gatorade, then sealed inside the empty jug and rolled down a hill onto the interstate. Pick: Minnesota.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reid:<\/strong> According to some reports, Brett Favre admits to sending suggestive texts to Jenn Sterger but denies he forwarded photographs of his wang chung. This is the beginning of the tried and true male tradition of the \u2018half-lie.\u2019 Confess to some sins (it\u2019s generally smart to pick the lesser crimes that will prove to be eventually undeniable anyhow) in an effort to bolster your credibility as you reject the remaining — and usually more damaging — allegations. \u201cAlright honey, I\u2019ll admit: I gave that girl a ride in the car. Frankly, she looked a bit cold and I was already planning on driving by that spot under the bridge so it wasn\u2019t even out of my way. But God as my witness, I did not let her touch me with her feet. She just made that part up to make me look bad in the eyes of my family, friends and law enforcement.\u201d Of course, there are two vital steps to successfully pulling off the half-lie. First, you must volunteer the confession part early in order to pre-empt and create doubt about the really bad stuff. Second, yo, Kim Philby — have you ever heard of hotmail? Pick: New England.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
