Favre A Spy!

I came across a story tonight that said Brett Favre sold out his old team, the Green Bay Packers. If this is true or not, it’s legal according to NFL rules. I read that teams will sign players just released by a team there about to play to get information. Plus I personally don’’ really care if he did this. Matter of fact, I hope he did. The Green Bay Packers treated him like a crap in the end. He said down with the team and told them he fault like he still could play and wanted to come back. And they told him to stay away. Then when he asked for a trade they said no, it wasn’t in the best interest of the Packers or himself. Then just didn’t want to pay him his $15 Million contract, which’s my opinion. And in the end, the Packers had no choice but trade him. By NFL rules Favre is a Franchise Player, and if he able to play, the team has to play him, or trade him. The Packers did try to get him to agree to pay him his $15 Million, but would have to watch from the sideline, not happening. So I say good for Favre, call every team out there and let them know how the Packers work.

Stocks On The Rise!

It seems that the credit market has finally thawed somewhat. Today on Wall Street the Dow industrial average rose by more than 413 points. The rise of Wall Street was mostly because of the rest of the world markets showing decent increases in their market value. And also of speculation that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will cut interest rates again. And also let’s not forget the bargain shoppers, there were some pretty good deals today. Anyway this is just a spark; we still need a pretty big fire to get this economy moving again. Hopefully tomorrow will show similar results by week’s end. I would really like to see the Dow back above 10,000 points.
