ESPNRadio's Colin Cowherd reports on show "Brett Favre did not die"

Sticks and Stones may Break my Bones…
We never thought Hank Steinbrenner would be more entertaining than his father, but he plans on “restoring the Universe to order.” Was it out of order to begin with?! Is part of this restoration being inducted into Red Sox Nation by Boston’s owner John Henry?

FINALLY!
Brett Favre retired! We all agree – he’s a classy, nice guy and he for sure had a nice, illustrious career, and we did enjoy watching him, especially those epic Monday Night Football games. But well…these are our thoughts:

Andrea: BRETT FAVRE RETIRED.
praise jesus!
Fenella: thank the lord!
i mean he's great and all
but
IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME

Dear Brett: May you have an enjoyable retirement, filled with pleasure and relaxation, and devoid of cameos in movies. You’re a terrible actor. Let’s face it, we can’t all be Peyton Manning.

Who will be the object of John Madden’s man-crush now??

Because Tom Brady Always Gets What He Wants
Randy Moss is staying in New England, so for you free agency junkies, cross another one off your list. Guess that whole Randy Moss – Daunte Culpeper reunion thing won’t happen. However, Asante Samuel left the Pats for the Eagles….Hmm, weren’t the Pats supposed to be working on improving their D?

And Speaking of Money…
Pittsburgh Steelers Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger just got a bigger paycheck. (Bigger?! Get it?!) We’d take $36 million guaranteed. Who are we kidding, we’d take $36 guaranteed! Congrats Big Ben!

Big Red make the Big Dance
For the first time since 1988, a team other than Penn or Princeton secured a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Congratulations, Cornell! On the other end of the spectrum, outlook not so good for Harvard. Just ask Tommy Amaker. Are we surprised they are accused of cheating? Actually, no. Just look at their history of grade inflation. Just because it’s hard to get accepted, doesn’t mean you should work like a candy a** once you get there.
