To: Michael John McCarthy From the desk (or couch) of: Chris Lempesis Dear Mike, Hey man – how’s it going? Silly question, I know. You must be on top of the world right now (or, at least, 60 minutes away from it). Anyways, I’m writing you today to tell you I’m sorry. That’s right – your old buddy Chris is choking down [...] In guiding his team to a 45-3 blowout win over the New York Jets on Dec. 6, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady set an NFL record for most consecutive regular season home wins at 26. In case you weren’t sure, the record had previously been held by a man we know (all too) well: Brett [...] “You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” - The Dark Knight (2008) This whole season I kept coming back to this quote when thinking of Brett Favre.

You know, one that makes sound football moves in the [...] (Before we begin: Tuesday is normally our day to take a glance at the Green Bay Packers’ opposition for that week. As much as we’d love to write about the Washington Redskins, sorry, there was just too much else going on Tuesday. Don’t worry – you’ll get our full wrap-up of the D.C. trip next [...] Since week one was such a smashing success in our weekly picks segment, we have decided to return for round two because we know you all enjoyed our Nostradamus-like predictions.
