Not even a week through the NBA playoffs and we have already been put through two heart-stopping finishes that have ended past mid-night.
Let's face it —unless you were a Lakers fan, you were rooting for the Oklahoma City Thunder Monday Night in Los Angeles. As the fourth quarter loomed, you were having flashbacks of Rocky Balboa fighting Apollo Creed.

Brett Favre: Dispelling The Myth Of The Interception King
Posted: 22nd February 2010 by David Arreola in NFL
In 2007, Brett Favre broke some of the NFLÆs most prestigious quarterback records, including: most passing touchdowns in a career, most passing yards in a career, and most wins by a starting quarterback. There was, however, one less than prestigious record Brett broke that year.
Most career interceptions.
It is a general consensus that interceptions are the ultimate sin from a quarterback.á DoesnÆt matter how they happen, or whose fault it was. ...

Welcome back, my friends, to Brett Favre vs. Aaron Rodgers. I must apologize for the delay of this article's publishing. A mix of school work and personal problems forced the late publishing. Anyway, I'm here now.
Last week, Brett Favre earned an automatic victory due to Aaron Rodgers being on a bye week. With that, Favre claims an impressive 4-1 lead on the Packers' quarterback. However, if you read my articles ...
Welcome friends to the fifth edition of Brett Favre vs. Aaron Rodgers II. Last week, the Packers and Vikings Monday Night Football game set cable-viewing records.
The hype was unreal, and when game time finally came, it was still unreal. Half a dozen camera crews were at the coin toss as Favre shook hands with the Packers' captains, all former teammates.
During his post-game interview, it seemed like the entire world ...
Welcome friends to the fourth edition of Brett Favre Vs. Aaron Rodgers II.
Last week we saw the old gunslinger earn a 2-1 advantage on his replacement. Shockingly, the polls seemed to favor Rodgers, while the comments seemed to favor Brett. I would have loved to see some of the arguments for Rodgers last week.
Anyway, this week we have quite the special article. As you all know this week the Packers ...
