Fickle Favre & Wednesday Wisecracks

Brett Favre is bidding farewell to the NFL
Why is that such a hard sell?
Perhaps because fickle number four
Has done this twice before
Sources say this is for real
But probably only until he gets a better deal
Favre’s future is never set in stone
Because you know he’s waiting by the phone
He just can’t stay retired
Hoping he’ll get another call to be acquired

A Shaq attack is headed north
The Boston Celtics are moving forth
Plans are being arranged to ship
The towering center on another trip
Switching teams during his career
Is something O’Neal doesn’t fear
What is scary is how he will play
With the Big Three and their defensive way
He’s old, slow and prone to injury
Seeking a championship in a hurry
He gives new meaning to the Green Monster
Adding a punch and gigantic allure

You have to love Joe Paterno
Every year he sounds more like Don Vito
He’s a staple at Penn State
And a Big Ten coaching great
When will he go away?
If we’re lucky, he’ll always stay
Championships or no
JoPa is a Buckeye’s legendary foe
The conference is growing
But Paterno’s is still all-knowing
About what it takes to succeed
In a game contaminated with greed

Suh snagged a splendid and secure contract
The Lions’ number one pick finalized his pact
It’s about time Detroit delivered more than a car
40 million guaranteed to a tackling star
The Nebraska rookie held out
But an agreement soon came about
The Lions are breaking the bank
On a guy who is likely to rank
But it doesn’t mean a winning season is in order
For that, I wouldn’t even bet a quarter

Parting Points: Finally ARod hit his 600th homerun.
