Links Of The Week

Well, the other night when I sat down and was trying to figure out how to approach this whole Brett Favre thing I realized there wasn’t much to say that I (or a million other people) hadn’t already said during the previous 4 months.  So, I checked out what other folks were writing, and the amount of pure content out there regarding Favre is astonishing.  Here’s a look at what some of our friends had to say:
