For those of you who are breathing sighs of relief that the Favre saga is finally over, think again. It’s not over at all. It’s only just begun. Prepare for an entirely new level of over-coverage and over-analyzation by ESPN, the NFL Live crew and so on. You thought the Michael Vick coverage was over the top? The Favre to the Jets story will make the Vick story look like a trade between the Nationals and the Royals for a minor league reliever.
Throughout the pre-season, every episode of SportsCenter, NFL Live, Mike and Mike, Cold Pizza, Around the Horn, PTI and others will start with Brett Favre. They will break down every three-step drop he makes in practice and every interaction he has with a teammate, coach, fan, John Madden and Elvis. every time he makes a good pass in a pre-season game, they will show it 42,987 times throughout the day. Throughout the regular season, they will critique every pass he throws, every decision he makes and every audible he calls.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always loved Brett Favre and the way he plays the game. However, I think we’re all pretty sick of ESPN’s non-stop coverage of the story. I’m just warning you of what to expect this football season. If you’re a fan of any team other than the Jets or Packers, don’t expect to hear about your team very much at all. The 2008-2009 NFL season will revolve around and be dominated by Brett Favre.
Here are some quotes I fully expect to hear on ESPN in the upcoming months:
1) Mark Schlereth- “Brett Farve gives the Jets the best possible chance to win, and that’s all you can ask for from your starting quarterback. “
2) Wendy Nix- “Today during practice, Favre took 71% of the snaps, threw 42 passes, took seven five-step drops, ran to the left twice and the right three times, threw two touchdowns, fumbled one, threw one interception, had four balls batted away, threw 20 incompletions and called six audibles. He also smiled twice, grimaced nine times, wiped the sweat from his brow 18 times, scratched his crotch 11 times, re-adjusted his pants 14 times and his shoulder pads twice (once after a sack, after which he took his helmet off and then put it back on), drank two bottles of water, four cups of gatorade and took a few swigs of an unidentified liquid. He also took two bathroom breaks. The first was for a quick pee, the second time he was in there longer. When reporters asked him if he’d taken a dump, he grinned and said “Go in there and see for yourself”. . . from Jets camp, Wendy Nix, ESPN.
John Clayton- “Farve may have more hair on his face than I do on my entire body. “
Sean Salisbury- “Shut up John! What are you thinking Brett? You could have had $20 million dollars just to stay retired! That could have funded another appearance for me in a movie role. “
Jim Rome- Brett Farve is amazing. Phenomenal. Outstanding. He’s the real deal. He put the eeze in cheese for so many years in the frozen tundra. Now he’s a New York Jet. Yes, you heard me correctly. Number four is a Jet. Not ON a jet, like flying on a jet back and forth to Green Bay like he did 16 times the last two weeks. He’s a member of the New York Jets. Good luck, Eric Mangini. Are you shaking in your boots, Bill? The reign of the Pats is over like a bad Michael Jackson story. Thank goodness. Now we can all get on to more important things, like Gilbert Arenas’s blog. Incredible. Remarkable. Enjoy Mr. Aaron Rodgers, Packer fans. Jets fans, enjoy watching a legend at work this season. Chad who? Phenomenal.
Ron Jaworski- “I know I love to talk and over-emphasize every other word, but I’m truly speechless right now. ” (Applause breaks out from Trey Wingo, who calls for a champange toast).
Ricky Williams- “Yeah, I hope we trade for Chad Pennington. Can the guy play quarterback? I have no idea really. I just hope he can bring some of that great northern weed down here for me. “
PacMan Jones- “Brett is gonna love going from Green Bay to New York, just for the nightclubs. “
Skip Bayless- “The Packers have got to be the dumbest organization on the face of the earth. You just let the player, a future Hall-of-Famer, who has defined your team and is the face of your organization, go to another team for a draft pick. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid! Now let me drink my Diet Moutain Dew in peace, and you two Stews can arm wrestle for who gets to take Dana out for lunch today. Where is my Hot Pocket? I’m starving here. These interns suck!”
Jay Mariotti- “Of course this was a good idea. The Packers rid themselves of this entire exhausting distraction and Aaron Rodgers can now sleep at night. Of course, when Rodgers gets hurt or the first time he struggles, Packer fans will be storming the gates of Lambeau and the heads will roll. “
Woody Paige- “You’re an idiot, Jay! Even my four-month old nephew knows this was a bad idea!”
Tony Kornheiser- “The only way this could get any better is if Brett tries out for American Idol. “
Mike Wilbon- “Screw American Idol! It’s dumb, lame entertainment! I’m going to watch the NBA summer league and whatever is on Bravo tonight. “
John Madden- “I love Brett Favre more than Tony Romo loves himself, more than Tom Brady loves Adam Vinatieri, more than Oprah loves a sob story, more than Green Bay loves cheese. I will miss Brett as bad as I miss the telestrator in the booth and Al Michaels. Ya see, Brett playing for the Jets won’t be nearly the same as Brett playing for the Packers. Heck, I think they even wear different uniforms. ”

The two big “S’s,” Sleep and Sex. Neither is an issue, usually, until you’re not getting any. Sleep and sex are intimately related. Let’s face it. They are the two main events going on in your bedroom, are they not? I think that all of us have taken one over the other at some point. Chances are, we were younger and had no children when we chose sex. Regardless, if your sleeping habits have become a problem - you’re sleep deprived and having restless nights - chances are that the problems in the bedroom are just beginning. We really take things for granted when we “have it good”. When everything is on the up-and-up, we curl up with our partners come bedtime, and get a little lovin’. It’s not that complicated. But when we have been awake all day, after having been up all night - usually that “special feeling” is thwarted by the desire for just a few extra zzz’s. I’m not embarrassed to say that I too have chosen to just close my eyes and get a few extra hours of sleep, rather than do “the nasty”. Even though my husband may never admit it, there have also been times when the hardworking truck driver is just “too tired” after an eighteen hour day. We’re only human. There is lots of support for how adequate sleep enhances our love lives. It provides us with the energy that is necessary. It helps us to deal with stressful situations more effectively during the day, so that we do not take our stress to bed with us at night. Also, it simply makes us physically capable of having enjoyable intimate time with our partner. Things can get even more complicated when you look in to different sleep concerns. Snoring, for example can drive a major wedge in between a couple. When one partner snores and one partner is kept awake by the snoring, both can become resentful. It is not anyone’s fault if he or she snores. However, sometimes it is difficult not to blame the suspect snorer for a partner’s loss of sleep. Sometimes snoring is so bad that one person may have to leave the room. This physical separation is detrimental to the couple’s feelings of closeness and intimacy. It’s hard to actually have sex with your partner, when he or she is sleeping in the spare room. A good night’s sleep is healthy for so many reasons. It really can be linked to a healthy sex life. If you are a parent, you know how things change on many levels after a child is first born. One of the major reasons most couples see a drop in their sexual activity after a little bundle of joy enters their lives, is not necessarily the stress that the new situation can bring. But, rather it’s the fact that they both know they’re going to have to get up in a couple of hours and sometimes - as much as it may hurt to admit it - it just isn’t worth it. You’d love to do it and you would if you could - you’re just too tired to put yourself into it. Of course, you don’t need to have children to know what sleep deprivation is. Regardless, it’s frustrating and disheartening when something as seemingly simple as sleep, can actually reek havoc in an otherwise healthy relationship. Our lack of sleep can occur for many reasons and has plenty of detrimental effects on our lives - our dwindling sex drive being just one. When you are exhausted you’re more irritable, have difficulty focusing and would trade sex for sleep in a second if it meant 8 uninterrupted hours. So, maybe you need to ask yourself, is sleep deprivation the real reason behind your sexual woes?

Throughout the regular season, they will critique every pass he throws, every decision he makes and every audible he calls.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always loved Brett Favre and the way he plays the game. However, I think we’re all pretty sick of ESPN’s non-stop coverage of the story. I’m just warning you of what to expect this football season. If you’re a fan of any team other than the Jets or Packers, don’t expect to hear about your team very much at all. The 2008-2009 NFL season will revolve around and be dominated by Brett Favre.
Here are some quotes I fully expect to hear on ESPN in the upcoming months:
1) Mark Schlereth- “Brett Farve gives the Jets the best possible chance to win, and that’s all you can ask for from your starting quarterback. “
2) Wendy Nix- “Today during practice, Favre took 71% of the snaps, threw 42 passes, took seven five-step drops, ran to the left twice and the right three times, threw two touchdowns, fumbled one, threw one interception, had four balls batted away, threw 20 incompletions and called six audibles. He also smiled twice, grimaced nine times, wiped the sweat from his brow 18 times, scratched his crotch 11 times, re-adjusted his pants 14 times and his shoulder pads twice (once after a sack, after which he took his helmet off and then put it back on), drank two bottles of water, four cups of gatorade and took a few swigs of an unidentified liquid. He also took two bathroom breaks. The first was for a quick pee, the second time he was in there longer. When reporters asked him if he’d taken a dump, he grinned and said “Go in there and see for yourself”. . . from Jets camp, Wendy Nix, ESPN.
John Clayton- “Farve may have more hair on his face than I do on my entire body. “
Sean Salisbury- “Shut up John! What are you thinking Brett? You could have had $20 million dollars just to stay retired! That could have funded another appearance for me in a movie role. “
Jim Rome- Brett Farve is amazing. Phenomenal. Outstanding. He’s the real deal. He put the eeze in cheese for so many years in the frozen tundra. Now he’s a New York Jet. Yes, you heard me correctly. Number four is a Jet. Not ON a jet, like flying on a jet back and forth to Green Bay like he did 16 times the last two weeks. He’s a member of the New York Jets. Good luck, Eric Mangini. Are you shaking in your boots, Bill? The reign of the Pats is over like a bad Michael Jackson story. Thank goodness. Now we can all get on to more important things, like Gilbert Arenas’s blog. Incredible. Remarkable. Enjoy Mr. Aaron Rodgers, Packer fans. Jets fans, enjoy watching a legend at work this season. Chad who? Phenomenal.
Ron Jaworski- “I know I love to talk and over-emphasize every other word, but I’m truly speechless right now. ” (Applause breaks out from Trey Wingo, who calls for a champange toast).
Ricky Williams- “Yeah, I hope we trade for Chad Pennington. Can the guy play quarterback? I have no idea really. I just hope he can bring some of that great northern weed down here for me. “
PacMan Jones- “Brett is gonna love going from Green Bay to New York, just for the nightclubs. “
Skip Bayless- “The Packers have got to be the dumbest organization on the face of the earth. You just let the player, a future Hall-of-Famer, who has defined your team and is the face of your organization, go to another team for a draft pick. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid! Now let me drink my Diet Moutain Dew in peace, and you two Stews can arm wrestle for who gets to take Dana out for lunch today. Where is my Hot Pocket? I’m starving here. These interns suck!”
Jay Mariotti- “Of course this was a good idea. The Packers rid themselves of this entire exhausting distraction and Aaron Rodgers can now sleep at night. Of course, when Rodgers gets hurt or the first time he struggles, Packer fans will be storming the gates of Lambeau and the heads will roll. “
Woody Paige- “You’re an idiot, Jay! Even my four-month old nephew knows this was a bad idea!”
Tony Kornheiser- “The only way this could get any better is if Brett tries out for American Idol. “
Mike Wilbon- “Screw American Idol! It’s dumb, lame entertainment! I’m going to watch the NBA summer league and whatever is on Bravo tonight. “
John Madden- “I love Brett Favre more than Tony Romo loves himself, more than Tom Brady loves Adam Vinatieri, more than Oprah loves a sob story, more than Green Bay loves cheese. I will miss Brett as bad as I miss the telestrator in the booth and Al Michaels. Ya see, Brett playing for the Jets won’t be nearly the same as Brett playing for the Packers. Heck, I think they even wear different uniforms. ”

For those of you who are breathing sighs of relief that the Favre saga is finally over, think again. It’s not over at all. It’s only just begun. Prepare for an entirely new level of over-coverage and over-analyzation by ESPN, the NFL Live crew and so on. You thought the Michael Vick coverage was over the top? The Favre to the Jets story will make the Vick story look like a trade between the Nationals and the Royals for a minor league reliever.

It’s the same advice given by mothers all over the world. Get a great night’s sleep. Whether it’s for a big presentation, final exam, or specific occasion, we all take for granted that being restful means being alert and able to execute at our highest level. But those of us with sleeping troubles don’t have the same opportunities. Sleeping problems can have an impact on more than just yawning. Sleeping problems can have a heavy impact on tension levels, energy and focus, moods and depression, even your personal wellness. Sleeping problems reduce your immune system’s ability to keep your from illness. Here a couple of points to help your sleeping problems. Physical Exercise more is usually the best way to help your sleeping problems. Your body is designed to be used and exhausted. Continuous exercise is not important just for those looking to lose weight - it’s important to anyone and everyone that wants a full and healthy life. Sleeping problems are often the result of being off of a pattern. Your body works in cycles, moving from rest to activity, hunger to fullness and energetic to depleted. If you don’t force your body to establish a routine, you  will lose out on a chance to combat your sleeping problems, and you will miss out on more sleep and more restful sleep. Drugs will not help you fix your sleeping problems, only mask them. People that use medication the help them fall asleep often need other drugs in the morning to wake and focus. This is only masking the real cause behind your sleeping problems - a lack of routine and health. Pills might make you think you’re solving your sleeping problems but they’re only covering them up. It won’t last. Some people suffer from anxiety and this is what leads to sleeping problems. In other words, the sleeping problems are just a symptom of a great affliction. If you suspect that there is something behind your sleeping problems, you need to deal with the anxiety to get rid of them. Consult a medical professional to come up with the best strategy to relief your anxiety so that you can get a good night’s sleep - just like mom always said. Sleeping problems are not dangerous, but they are serious. Luckily, most of them can be cured by making responsible changes to your daily routine and diet. Do not assume that pills will help you fix your sleeping problems, and if you feel like anxiety is the cause, you need to address that to make your sleeping problems a thing of the past.
