Old Crushes Die Hard

It's not easy to stay angry at Brett Favre. He can't help being Big Papa Football - covering the spread, tackling Percy Harvin in the end zone to celebrate the kid's first pro touchdown, wearing Wranglers instead of designer jeans barely looser than mine... I would still trade Mark Sanchez's GQ looks for a bulbous nose and crooked jaw, but he is slowly gaining my trust. For the first time, instead of seeing Vinnie Chase playing dress-up in a jersey, I saw a quarterback. And he brought out the best in his Entourage. Thomas Jones, Jericho Cotchery and Leon Washington were smokin' hot, and it's a lot easier to win games when you actually have a defense. Bart Scott is a beast, and I love him.

As for tonight, I like the over at 47.5 on the Bills-Pats game. The return of Tom Brady in Foxboro should be absolutely explosive, but I don't like to lay so many points in the first week. Even if teams like the Lions and Chiefs eventually folded yesterday, they held up to the very last second. So I would take the over - which is basically a bet on Brady, but leaves room for the Bills to surprise me.
