Mr. Optimism and Mr. Pessimism break down the NFC Teams
http://www.scoresreport.com/2008/07/03/mr-optimism-and-mr-pessimism-break-down-the-nfc-teams/
Before the 2007 NFL Playoffs, Mr. Optimism and Mr. Pessimism gave their thoughts on the 12 postseason teams and their chances of winning the Super Bowl.
The duo is back again to give their insightful analysis, this time offering their opinion on all 16 NFC teams with training camps ready to fire up across the country.
If it weren’t already obvious by their names, Mr. Optimism likes to find the positive in every team. He likes to stroke the fire of… well… optimism, and provide hope to your favorite team and their chances of winning in 2008.
Mr. Pessimism is that guy you want to round house kick in the face because no matter what you say about a team, he’s always there to put a negative spin on things. Mr. Pessimism can easily find faults in every team and has no problem making it known that both you and your team are going to choke on applesauce this season.
Neither is very good on their own, but together they form one of the greatest duos in the history of sports analysis. This week they take a look at the NFC teams – next week they scout the teams in the AFC.

ESPN: Favre considers return to football

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Brett Favre is considering coming out retirement, according to an ESPN report. ESPN's Chris Mortensen said Wednesday a Green Bay Packers source told him the 38-year-old Favre told coach Mike McCarthy in the past two weeks that he has the itch to play.
The Packers' former quarterback retired March 6 after a 17-year career.
Cornerback Al Harris said on ESPN's NFL Live that Favre also made similar comments to him.
"I know he has the itch to come back and play," Harris said. "If he will or not, I don't know."
The Packers had planned to use Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback for the upcoming season.
"Aaron is our quarterback," Harris said. "Brett's retired. But if he wanted to come back, there would be some guys who wouldn't mind it. I would welcome him back with open arms."
