Favre

Ok so i had to put up my thoughts on Favre. I dont understand why he wouldn't want to come back. I mean look at the Vikings last year. Here are my reasons:
1. 12-4, as in the Vikings regular season record. There's not much else to say about it. He's coming back to a team who was the #2 seed in the NFC last year and as with all players who are aging in their sport he wants to be a part of a team with a chance to win the superbowl.
2. Hes coming off the best year of his career. This isn't like his previous retirements where he's coming off years that weren't exactly stellar. He's coming off of the best year of his career as far as passer rating goes (that's my favorite line to drop on packers fans).
3. This is my most important stat: They absolutely dominated in the playoffs. Let's see, they played the Cowboys first and it seemed like literally everyone was picking the Cowboys. Why they all of a sudden were backing a choke artist like Romo I'll never understand but either way the Vikings dominated with a 34-3 ass kicking. Then there was the saints game. Dont remind me of the score because trust me I know but i think we should take a peak at the statistics of the game. Vikings had over 200 total yards more than the Saints (475-257) and had more than twice the first downs (31-15). now go up to anyone who knows football and without telling them the teams names just drop those two stats and ask them who they think won. They're obviously gonna say the Vikings dominated but thanks to the 6 fumbles and 2 ints they would be wrong. So literally Favre led the Vikings offense to two complete dominations in the playoffs and it would have been three in the superbowl because anything the Saints did the Vikes would have done better.
So of course Favre should come back. Just maybe he should think about skipping week 1 because the saints would treat him the same way they did in the nfc championship game and he still hasnt recovered from that apparently.

Freeways

Please, someone has to do something about the freeways these days. First off, is there a way we can re-establish what the "fast lane" is to the American people? It's the farthest left lane on the freeway and it is for the FAST drivers. You know, the ones who go at least 5 mph over the speed limit and even that is a little slow at times. If your going 65 in a 65 in the far left lane, then congratulations your a douche.
Secondly, the Speed limit is the minimum speed your allowed to go on a freeway, not the maximum. going 55 in a 65 doesn't make you a safer driver. it just creates a 19 car line behind you full of angry people wondering why the schmuck in front isn't going the speed limit. Hopefully all 19 cars thank you as well with a one finger salute sent in your direction and yes, you deserve everyone.
Finally, the solution. waddya say we just get our cars up to 70 and then put the car in cruise control. then it just ends up being a 15 minute drive to wherever your going (dont care where) where you can sit back and listen to the radio. just imagine if everyone did that. you'd never have to even worry about stuff like passing or crazy cars doing 100 weaving in and out of the cars for no reason.
thats all for now
