With rumors ferociously swirling around a potential Brett Favre comeback, everyone is now buzzing about the possibilities. "Are we going to get one more year of horribly timed interceptions?" "Will we get one more season of John Madden slobbering over No. 4?" "Could we still see another euphoric sprint to the end zone?" Who knows. Actually, Tirico Suave knows and they've come up with a pair of headlines from the distant future regarding the NFL's ironman. As indicated, Favre will die at the age of 89, but that still doesn't mean his playing days are over.

Soaring gas prices are hitting everyone hard, forcing many to resort to unconventional means of transportation. Some are choosing to walk when they can, others ride bicycles around town, while some brave souls even dare to climb aboard the public transportation systems (Note: Watch out for homeless people's urine in the seats. We learned the hard way.). All in all, this lifestyle change is making the general population a bit cranky and edgy. Case in point, 6-foot-1-inch, 205-pound Arkansas linebacker Wendel Davis opted to go with riding a scooter and went psycho when he was rear-ended.

Arkansas linebacker Wendel Davis faces a felony criminal mischief charge after police say he punched through the window of a car that bumped his scooter.

Davis, 19, of Sweeny, Texas is scheduled to appear before a judge July 30 over the charge, stemming from an altercation Tuesday afternoon. If convicted, Davis could face up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

A university police spokesman says Davis' fist put dents into the car and broke its windshield. Davis was released without bond pending his court hearing.

OK, so there appears to be more to this story than simple road rage over gas prices like we indicated earlier. Turns out Davis was involved in an altercation with the rear-ender, Onyebuchi Odunukwe, hours before the "accident" and sent Davis threatening texts during the days prior. What caused the beef? A chickenhead, of course.

Davis said the threats began after he kissed Odunukwe's girlfriend early Saturday
morning.

The babes simply can't resist mopeds.

Let's see Rampage or Forrest Griffin do that on Saturday night.

Wait, did we say attempting a back flip? Sorry, we meant to say attempting to commit murder on its jockey.

You shall be missed

A lot of people have a lot of problems with the way David Stern is running the NBA. Basically, they think he's letting the league go straight down the drain while becoming a laughingstock in the process. Between the referee gambling scandal, the end of an era in Seattle and the drafting of Joakim Noah, some fans are simply fed up with the situation and they're not going to take it anymore. Here's one of the thousands of fan resignation letters currently flooding the NBA's home office in New York.

Dear Commissioner Stern,

I have been an NBA fan since birth, rooting the majority for my home state team, the Chicago Bulls through thick and thin times.

But the news coming from Seattle is disheartening. I am through with these games, in which owners of professional sports franchises hang cities like Seattle by the balls until they scream 'uncle' on a new arena. That's not how it was growing up watching Jordan and Pippen play. Jordan himself said the old Chicago Stadium was a better venue than the United Center, to which he compared it to a shopping mall.

And so in situations like this, where Clay Bennett and Co., single handedly ripped the SuperSonics from Seattle, a 41-year old franchise; that I submit my fan resignation letter to the once proud National Basketball Association.

I no longer want to be involved with anything from or with this league.

I truly believe the NBA is making a grave, and arrogant, mistake shunning the Seattle market. The over/under for the Oklahoma City team is 3 years for me. Then they'll turn into a Memphis organization, or a Charlotte Bobcats organization (sorry Mike).

You, Commissioner Stern turned a blind eye to the economics of Seattle, not even trying to cut a deal with the lawmakers. You just showed up to the capital, whining about a new stadium. You are a hazard to this league. I feel for the good of the game, you should leave the NBA with someone that knows how to run it.

This league hasn't been the same since June 1998, when MJ made the shot over Bryon Russell in Utah.

I'm done.

Sincerely,

Ryan K.

Of course, there are plenty of pissed-off blowhards sending in video responses on the matter too. God bless modern technology.

Other than gasping, dropping to our knees, rolling around on the ground and muttering "uggggh" and "owwww" under our breath, we really don't know what else to say about this.

Catcher Chris Snyder left Monday night's game after getting hit by a foul tip in the groin area. About an hour before Tuesday's game the Diamondbacks put him on the 15-day disabled list with a left testicular fracture.

Snyder will undergo surgery on Wednesday with Melvin hoping his return is relatively soon.

"Hopefully looking at a 15-day period, where he is back after the All-Star break," Melvin said after the D-Backs 8-6 loss to the Brewers on Tuesday night.

Fractured testicle!? We didn't even know it was possible to fracture your nuts. Smash, yes. Crush, yes. Pulverize, yes. But fracture? Ugh, we're starting to get dizzy just talking about it.

The Oreo commercial's with Peyton and Eli Manning going head-to-head in a lick-off always give us the creeps and make us a little nauseous. But now our worst nightmares have come true and the ridiculous ads are leaping off the television screen and right into reality.

PEYTON AND Eli Manning have won Super Bowls, but how quickly can the quarterbacks lick the icing from a Double Stuf Oreo?

Roxborough's George Stolzer, 63, a retired firefighter, and his son, Christopher, 36, of Honey Brook, a shipping manager at UMAC, will find out on July 10 as they battle the Mannings in hopes of winning $10,000 in the Oreo Double Stuf Racing League "Lick Race" in New Orleans.

We're guessing it's going to look a lot like when we feed our dogs peanut butter, but odder.

Somewhere out there, Max & Sam are taking some serious notes on how to improve their game. Well, Max is.

Napoleon Bonaparte was a French military and political leader who had a significant impact on modern European history. He was a general during the French Revolution, the ruler of France as First Consul of the French Republic, Emperor of the French, King of Italy, Mediator of the Swiss Confederation and Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine. At least that is what Wikipedia says we should know about him. Of course, like most meatheads, all we really knew about the dude was that he takes prissy pictures and angry, short people always get labeled with a complex bearing his name. And according to Undrafted Free Agent, these lil' Naps have the biggest cases of Small Man syndrome in the world of sports.
