It’s amazing. Just when he was officially retired once again, Brett Favre “un-retired”, agreeing to come back to Minnesota for two more years of football. This move is getting all kinds of media attention and generating excitement in Minnesota, but I really don’t see the big deal.
Favre will be 40 in October. How many quarterbacks lead their teams to Super Bowls at 40. He’s as durable as they come and he’s showed great longevity through his career, but still…
The Baltimore Ravens are clearly responding to first year defensive coordinator Greg Mattison. In Mattisons debut as an NFL coordinator the Ravens obliterated their regional rivals the Washington Redskins, completing a shutout by a final score of 23-0. QB Joe Flacco looked solid in his short night of action, but the star of the game was the Ravens stop unit who looked to be in regular season form already.
15 different players caught passes and after the game backup QB Troy Smith said that Ravens signal callers had been instructed to get as many players involved in the offense as possible:
The NFL couldnt have scripted a better ending to their first nationally televised Monday Night Football contest, even if it was just a preseason game. New York Giants rookie Tommie Hill returned a fumble 18 yards for a touchdown with 0:00 on the clock to break a deadlocked game and give his team a 24-17 victory over the Carolina Panthers in NFL preseason action at The Meadowlands.
The Pittsburgh Steelers used a 17 point fourth quarter outburst to break open a close game and send the Arizona Cardinals to defeat by a 20-10 score in a NFL preseason rematch of this years Superbowl.
NFL bettors who favored the defending Superbowl champions in this matchup cashed their tickets as the Steelers covered as -3 home favorites.
Tom Brady returned to NFL action and looked good in limited playing time as the New England Patriots opened their preseason schedule with a 27-25 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. He completed 10 of 15 passes for 100 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
The Patriots also rewarded their NFL preseason financial backers by winning outright as a +2 road underdog. The combined 52 points scored shattered the posted total of 32 for an easy OVER.
Bradys solid play was no doubt a heartening sight to Patriots fans, though the superstar QB had little to say after the game on the specifics on his performance:
Stacy Dewayne Andrews (born June 2, 1981 in Camden, Arkansas) is an American football offensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League. He was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth round of the 2004 NFL Draft.
He is the older brother of fellow NFL offensive lineman and Eagles teammate Shawn Andrews.
Stacy Andrews will visit Philadelphia today and sign with the Eagles, if he passes a physical, sources said.
The physical is especially important for Stacy Andrews because he tore two ligaments in his right knee in the final game of the 2008 season.
Northeastern tight end Brian Mandeville was invited to the NFL Combine, and all seemed to be going well until doctor’s found an issue with his heart that may end his career before it starts. The doctors discovered an abnormal heart valve.
The Boston Globe reported on Sunday that doctors who found the condition during a routine physical exam told Mandeville that playing football and lifting weights could put him at risk though the condition is not considered life-threatening.
The 6-foot-6 inches Brian Mandeville, who grew up in Walpole, Mass., learned of the diagnosis Friday.
