If you hate the ongoing Brett Favre saga AND dislike the Cowboys who do you pull for Sunday? Look, the Cowboys got a giant monkey off their backs by finally winning a playoff game for the first time since the Clinton administration last weekend. Yes, they are the most dangerous road team but Minnesota can get a pass rush going and make life very difficult for Tony Romo.

Isn't Favre the better story than the Cowboys? Wouldn't you rather see Favre vs. the Saints for the chance to go to the Super Bowl than a happy Jerry Jones? Just asking.

USC says O.J. Mayo did not cooperate with its internal investigation into possible NCAA wrongdoing. No kidding. The NBA 20-year-old rule is fun in the sense that you get one year seeing stars like Mayo, Derrick Rose and John Wall.

But who are we fooling here? Education is a far off thought as these guys sell tickets and draw eye balls to TV screens during their one season in a weigh station on their way to the NBA. Kids should be able to enter the NBA at anytime.

No, it's not the best thing for the pro game but this is America and the best in the business should be able to get paid for their craft.
