NFL 2010 for iPhone

NFL 2010 is a football game for the iPhone. It's basically a full fledged football game with season mode. Controls are simple, but the game is fun.

It's no comparison to a seasoned veteran like Madden 10, but for a first ever full version of an iPhone game, it's pretty cool.

Dear Brett Favre: Get Over It.

[Gonna take a pass on the obvious "Here we go again" statement]
[EDIT: This was a complete coincidence. Awesome! Yet totally unsurprising]

ESPN's Ed Werder reports that Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress is going to meet with aging aged quarterback Brett Favre later this week in the ever-mysterious "undisclosed location" to discuss the possibility of Favre coming out of retirement and playing for the Vikes this year. The New York Jets released Favre about a week ago, promptly after taking future bust Mark Sanchez in the first round of the NFL Draft.

Well this is a stupid story. Guess what Favre, you're not getting any younger, and just like any other old guy, your decision making skills (on and -- as this story proves -- off the field) have been rapidly declining. Give it up, please. If not for your sake, then for mine. I don't know whether this story is more annoying or more sad. I'm gonna say more annoying. Just go away Old Yeller. Don't make us break out the rifle.
