Brett Favre Seriously Considering Comeback

Joe Buck, you now have a hit variety show on HBO. Buck's first guest on the new HBO sports series, was Brett Favre, and the former Jet and Packer did little to dissuade people from believing that he will be making another comeback later this summer.

Buck asked the quarterback point blank, "Will you come back to play again?" Favre responded by pausing and saying, "Maybe. If it ever gets to the point it feels like it did before it started hurting, then the biggest question mark is out of the way.”

Favre told Buck that he prefers to play with the Vikings since he is very familiar with their style of offense. Vikings head coach Brad Childress once worked for the Packers many years ago before moving on to Philadelphia as an offensive coordinator and then on to Minnesota two years ago to coach the Vikings.

More important, Favre got clearance from Dr. James Andrews, who repaired his torn bicep, that it would take just a few weeks before he could start throwing the football again. Favre had the surgery performed almost three weeks ago hetold Buck earlier this eveningon his HBO show.

It looks like it is only a matter of time before Favre signs on the dotted line to play for the Minnesota Vikings. He will have two things going for him when he gets to Vikings camp:
1) He will get to play with the best running back in the league in Adrian Peterson. Peterson had 1,760 yards rushing last fall and is good enough to become the next 2,000 yard rusher. With Peterson behind him, Favre won't have too much pressure on himself to make the big throws down the field.

2) Favre will play nine games in a dome (8 in Minnesota, 1 in Detroit). Other than the torn bicep, one problem for Favre last season with the Jets was throwing into the winds of Giants Stadium. That might have contributed to his throwing a ton of interceptions in December. This season Favre will play home games in the Metrodome where he won't have to worry about throwing into any winds.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Mets Keep Rolling into Phillies Series

 The New York Mets are feeling pretty good about things right now!  The Amazin's swept a four game series from the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, winning 7-4 Sunday afternoon. It was the first time since 1986 that the Amazin's had swept such a series from St. Louis. We all know what happened later that season.    Well, not to get too far ahead of ourselves, because the 2025 version now faces a very stiff challenge. The Mets will face their arch rivals the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday with only two games separating the two teams in the NL East.  The Mets took out Philly in the NLDS last October, so this figures to be a heck of showdown. The Mets begin a month long stretch against teams that are likely postseason contenders like the Phillies, D-Backs, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers.  If the Mets (15-7) are this good, we will know for sure in a month.
