Woman Attempts to Slaughter Brett Favre Goat
According to winona daily news - yea, i know - a woman brought her car into a Tires Plus repair shop in Winona and whilst filling out the proper repair forms mentioned, “Oh, by the way, I have a goat in my trunk.”
Swell. She explained that she planned to butcher it. Apparently the goat had Favre’s #4 shaved into its side. Long story short, repair shop calls animal rescue and the cops …et voila! Woman arrested for animal cruelty and the goat is saved. nifty.
Stupid goat, getting a Packers fan into trouble. Right? i mean come on! who’s with me ???

meh.

The NFL: Where Players Shoot Themselves in The Leg & Coaches Choke Each Other
According to a National Football Post story, Raiders Assistant Coach Hanson was beaten and choked by Raiders Head Coach, Tom Cable, known for being a violent nut ball. According to the Post story, of which i am sure we are going to hear more about shortly, assistant coach Randy Hanson had his jaw broken and was choked by Coach Cable.
Here’s Randy Hanson, victim, delinquent and all around weasel:

And here’s Raiders Head Coach Tom Cable, who looks like, well, someone who would break your jaw and try to choke you to death:

And here’s Doug Llewelyn, iconic host of The People’s Court:

Anyhoo, apparently Hanson was a crummy assistant coach, with a history of undermining the coaching staff…a lot.
Apparently Coach Cable was trying to reduce Hanson’s involvement with the team; yet Hanson kept showing up for practices even though he was instructed not too (Hanson was confusing the players with shoddy coaching)…sounds like that guy - you know, that irritating type that just_doesn’t_get_it. Which is a horrible presence around someone like Cable who is large and has a short temper. Not that I am defending the violent head coach Cable, but recall that Hanson was also the weasel that was in the middle of the Al Davis firing Head Coach Kiffin last year…
I guess Cable just couldn’t take it anymore and in a staff meeting sucker punched Hanson and choked him until the other coaches pulled him off.
Anyways, the NFL: Super star players running dog fighting rings and shooting themselves in the leg because they can’t keep their illegal weapons concealed in their waistbands, and coaches choking each other out… What’s next? Steamy cheerleader drama? Mascots defiling other Mascots?
Oh, and here’s Ronnie Lott, who has nothing to do with the story, but was the greatest football player of all time:

Plaxico Burress Shoots Himself in the Leg, Gets 2 Years in Jail
Remember when Plaxico Burress caught the game winning touchdown pass in SuperBowl XLII in 2008? No? Yea, me neither. But what I DO remember is reading in the news shortly thereafter about him shooting himself in the leg at a nightclub. Weird! Apparently he was carrying a gun in his pants and shot himself or something like that. Anyways, he was recently sentenced to 2 years in jail for that offense. Sheesh, i mean, WOW. Super NFL star, to nimrod who gets sent away for shooting himself in the leg. Strange, right?

Almost as strange as Brett Favre coming back out of retirement for the 5th time to sign with the Vikings.
Almost as strange as how you spell and how you pronounce “Favre.”
Almost as strange as seeing Favre shill for Jordache -or is it Wrangler? - jeans in TV ads.
Almost as strange as kinda hoping that Favre actually takes the Vikings to the Superbowl this year, even though I am not a Vikings fan. at all.
But I got off topic. Plaxico Burress- wins Superbowl, shoots himself in the leg soon after because his gun won’t stay put in his waistband, spends 2 years in jail. Weird.
