Brett Favre set to join the Eagles?

Apparently the Philadelphia Eagles want to become the latest team that becomes a breeding ground for the NFL's escaped convicts and total morons.

We have grown used to the Bengals, Raiders and Jets for this distinction, now the Eagles are set to join them, especially if they convince Brett Favre out of retirement.

Yes, the same guy who can never say never to playing football, and loves to take photos of...ummm...himself could be wearing Eagle green in a few weeks.

And yes, the dog boy wonder himself, Michael Vick is endorsing the move.

Favre who has been silent on a possible return, would fit into the Eagles plans as a back-up quarterback to Vick, should they trade Kevin Kolb.

This would be the stupidest move in the history of the NFL.

Why would the Eagles, who have a terrible offensive line to begin with, hinge their season on Brett Favre, should Michael Vick gets injured? And trust me, Vick will get hurt especially with all the hits he takes on a night in-night out basis.

Favre is finished, done, kaput. He had to be dragged off the field last year in Minnesota, and he would be a disaster with the Eagles. If he thought Jets fans were rude to him, wait till he meets the Philly fans who will burn him alive if he fouls up!

I hope this is just a rumor -- the last thing any of us need coming out of the lockout is "Favre Watch IV - the City of Brotherly Love."

There are other back-ups out there for Philly to get; in fact they have a decent one in Kolb, if they decide not to trade him, which is highly unlikely.

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.
