CRACK hIS BACK!!!

Brett Favre committed an illegal "crack-back" block to the knees of Houston defensive back Eugene Wilson in the third quarter of the game. Favre was penalized and Wilson was injured on the play. NFL spokesman Randall Liu could not say when a decision on whether Favre will be fined is expected. However, he said fine information is typically confirmed on Fridays. Common Favre it's only preseason chill out....

Anyways these sharp looking cleats are available at eastbay.com.....so football/basketball players if they're for you i suggest you buy a pair.

HOUSTON we have a PROBLEM!


Posted by ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert

HOUSTON -- Brett Favre was pretty much the story Monday night at Reliant Stadium, so I won't force five more observations on you this morning. But one item did escape our coverage: Minnesota unveiled a version of the Wildcat for two plays.

On both occasions, receiver Percy Harvin took the direct snap. In the first quarter, he handed the ball to tailback Adrian Peterson, who took the ball around right end for five yards. In the third quarter, Harvin kept the ball for a two-yard gain around the left side. (It was the same play Favre infamously upended Houston defensive back Eugene Wilson.)

The two plays combined for seven yards. But more importantly, the Vikings teased just enough of the formation to give future opponents something else to prepare for. And in reality, this version of the Wildcat is going to be based on a very simple principle: Two superior open-field runners moving in opposite directions.

"I thought there were a lot of people paying attention to Percy," coach Brad Childress said. "You've got to decide which master you want to serve. The front side with the fake to Adrian? Or three [people] looking at Percy? It's just, which one?”

Indeed, anytime you can draw a defense's attention away from Peterson, you've got a chance to bust a pretty good play. I'm not sure how often the Vikings will use the Wildcat, but from a big-picture perspective, it makes sense to sprinkle it in early and often this season to see how defenses react. (Just so long as Favre stays upright.)

Brandon Marshall Behavior problems?


USA Today reports- Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall, openly unhappy with the Denver Broncos, was suspended by the team through Sept. 5 for what coach Josh McDaniels called "detrimental" conduct. The warning to Marshall was issued prior to Wednesday's practice, McDaniels said. Marshall then went out during pre-practice warm-ups and walked while the rest of the team ran. He punted a ball away instead of handing it to a ball boy and swatted a pass thrown to him

Dirty Sanchez


Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Graham- Mark Sanchez can end the quarterback debate after two games. Sanchez sent Jets fans' hearts atwitter in his preseason debut last week. He trotted off the sideline in relief of Kellen Clemens, completed his first pass for 48 yards and orchestrated a 93-yard touchdown drive. Sanchez will make his first NFL start Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens. If Sanchez can hold his own against the Ravens' first-string defense, then Jets coach Rex Ryan -- the former Ravens defensive coordinator who holds his old unit in high regard -- will need no more convincing on who his quarterback should be.

NFL Preseason Highlights Vids

Brett Favre and The Vikings Vs. KC Chiefs


In Minneapolis Brett Favre was back in action, he took on some blitz early on in the game taking some hits. Although, he only had maybe a couple complete passes in his short time playing, one was to Number 22 overall draft pick Percy Harvin. But the star of the night would have to be Tavarius Jackson only having two incompletions and two thrown touchdowns. Team should be well off in the NFC north. Sept. 13 Vikings @ Browns
