Florio Didn't Write It, So It Must Be True!

BREAKING JEWS NEWS!!!

Fox's Jay Glazer is reporting Brett Favre set to retire.

I'll believe it when the police find Peter King's bloated corpse hanging from the rafters.


UPDATE: Favre's bro tells Mississippi newspaper it's true.

BREAKING: Indy's New Dome Already F--ked Up

I have a friend in Indianapolis, and we were discussing the oddities of Tony Dungy's reluctant return to coach the Colts in 2008. I think "reluctant" is a fair characterization after Bob Irsay installed a slew of unique perks into Dungy's deal, in terms of time away from the team. As incentive to return, Dungy was granted permission to spend four months in Tampa during the offseason, plus Friday nights during the season to watch his son play high school ball. You know, the one that didn't kill himself.

My friend, who we'll call "Jamie," she and I agreed to as much when she brought the following to my attention (emphasis mine):

I can only imagine [Dungy] wanted to walk - quickly. But we have a new stadium to fill around these parts, and I can't imagine they were going to let him go prior to its opening season. I do expect him to be gone immediately following. Assuming the thing is completed by the time the season starts. They are WAY behind. I was talking to our former city attorney (our mayor was ousted, so he goes too) on Monday, and he said the roof [is] set wrong. Small detail of a design flaw, so the roof physically will not open or close. Along with a laundry list of other problems, I'd be willing to bet not a single preseason game is played there. Who says we don't know what we're doing around here?

To be fair, Jamie can't bet for shit, but that doesn't ncessarily discount her inside information. Besides, it's only 1986 in Indianapolis right now, so they still have 22 years to finish everything on time.
