Favre Watch: Even agent is sick of waffling
Blue jeans. White T-shirt. A football. And Brett Favre, wearing or holding all three.
That’s the cover of the August issue of Men’s Journal, but on the inside is where the good stuff can be found.
The Morning Roundup: Hey Red Sox, break time’s ovah
Someone forgot to tell the Red Sox that the All-Star Break ended Thursday night, Paul Pierce says something interesting about the Celtics and John Daly wears funny pants in Britain.
Favre Watch: We all know the truth
On Wednesday, Brett Favre said he still was undecided about a return to the Minnesota Vikings and one more season in the NFL. Never mind that training camp starts in a couple of weeks, Favre just isn’t sure yet.
Favre isn’t sure if his surgically-repaired ankle – remember this – will hold up through the season, but if it can, he’s not worried about long-term injury. It’s too late for that, my friends.
The Morning Roundup: Wake me, please
What can we say about a night with no professional sports? If you’re a fan of the MLS or WNBA, you had plenty to watch, but if not, it was a long night.
The Biggest Night in Sports, or so ESPN says
The night after the MLB All-Star game is the quietest night in sports.

Alex Rodriguez. Roger Clemens. Reggie White. Barry Bonds. Moses Malone, if you can remember that far back.

There were two conversations I had on Thursday that can sum up why I was having those feelings.
Not so fast; Wooden ill, but not dead
The Washington Post reported earlier Thursday night that legendary UCLA men’s basketball coach John Wooden has died.
As the Internet buzzed with the news, other news outlets reported that Wooden, 99, was in the hospital and gravely ill.
The Morning Roundup: When 28 outs isn’t enough
There was plenty going on in the sports world on Wednesday, from Serena Williams losing in the French Open, to Ken Griffey, Jr., calling it quits, to the Flyers winning Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals in overtime.
But the one thing everyone will be talking about in the days and weeks to come is Armando Galarraga. Or worse yet, Jim Joyce.
Proof the Lakers are still soft
One of the running story lines into the NBA Finals, which (finally!) start on Thursday, is that the Lakers will win this time because they’re a lot tougher than in 2008.
It’s hard for me to believe that’s actually the case and it looks like this might be some proof that LA isn’t any tougher.
