It's Getting Really Difficult to like this Guy

Just as I was putting the finishing touches on the third round of this year's NCL Mock Draft, NFL Radio broke in with the news that Brett Favre had told the Vikings that he wasn't going to return this season. We've all bore witness to Brett's ego and insatiable desire to be craved like the last McNugget in a 10-piece. Of course this was the same day that Deadspin reported that Favre sent pictures of himself wanking off to Jet's employee Jenn Stergar (hot) while wearing nothing but a pair of Crocs.



Other than the fact that we're pretty sure Brett's a freak and filanderer, we also know with nearly 100% certainty that Brett will return this season to try and lead the Vikings to a world title. As I sat and skimmed my Mock Draft (which will be wronger than gays in the military (that one's for you, Jace)), it became crystal that Favre is a NCL wildcard in many ways.

Got QB?


It's no secret that if you don't have a decent starting QB on your roster, you don't have a great shot at placing in the money in 2010. More than half of the league retains a QB franchise tag, which leaves those without to fight over the likes of Kevin Kolb, Matt Ryan and Eli Manning. Not that there's anything wrong with those guys (especially Kolb, who I think will be a top-7 QB by season's end), do you take a flier on Favre as a one-year stop gap? Favre had an outstanding 2009, which saw him finish in the top six of fantasy QBs in overall points. However, he's one year older on a gimpy ankle; and you assume he won't be around for another season. Where will the production be, and what round could you get him in?

Other Guys

Without Favre, Bernard Berrian, Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin and Visanthe Shiancoe become the fantasy football equiavlent of Detroit Lions. Can you imagine what their respective numbers would be like with the Rosencopter or even worse, Tavaris Jackson is under center? It's a scary thought. Favre's potential output elevates each of these players by one if not two rounds in some cases.

NCL NOTES


So long, COMO

I was going to write an obit for Como's exodus, but Martin took care of that for me.

Comeaux isn't a retard. He just didn't want to say it....but..... He recently found God. When Comeaux found Him (3 days ago), fantasy football was no longer his dream. It was just that he wanted to glorify Him in everything that he did. He figured, ‘Maybe if I’m getting paid for it, I’ll be able to tolerate it." Shortly after that statement, he realized that he would never win this league and get paid. Brian Comeaux was 28 years old.

Let the firestorm begin.

Brian "Glen Coffee" Comeaux....we will miss your racoon eyes, your Louie Armstrong singing voice, your never-ending LSU honk-speak or stories where you fell asleep behind the wheel of your vehicle while sitting on a train track.

Kelly

Enter: Justin Kelly. I don't know much about Justin other than he hates movies/televisions that are fake i.e. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, and one time I had a few Aspens with him when we were out with Steve 'Midtown' Mendo.


New poll is up. Also, Mock Draft is nearing completion. Minor adjustments for Percy Harvin's Migraine Vomiting and Ben Tate's Ankle.
