Sources here at Lame Sports have learned that the oft troubled but talented Chris Henry is very close to a deal that would make him the highest paid wide receiver in Ohio Penal System (OPS) history.
Henry’s agent, Marvin Frazier, said it was too soon to spell out details of the impending deal, but that rumors of a trade earlier in the day now appear to be unfounded.
Early Monday morning, ESPN’s Chris Mortenson had indicated that the OPS was interested in a sign-and-trade that would send Henry back to jail, while the Bengals would receive ‘a compensatory pack of smokes and a player to be named later.’

It didn’t take long for an area get-together of hardcore fantasy football fans to live up to its name.
The annual Minneapolis Fantasy Football Mock Draft was recently held to prepare locals in Minnesota for the actual fantasy draft on August 28th. The participants, who typically take these events quite seriously quickly got into a disagreement, denigrating this year’s event into a mockery.

Brett Favre is continuing a seven year trend this offseason, not divulging to his employers one way or the other as to his status for the upcoming season. Wisconsin is all abuzz. Will he come back for another season after last year’s renaissance? Or is it time to call it a career? Favre’s off-field indecision has become as much legend as his on-the-field prowess.

Brett Farve will take a play from Junior Seau’s playbook and un-retire from the Packers and play for the Jets.
Forget the tampering charges filed against the Vikings. Favre is going to stay green, because of the “green”.

What started as another seasonable, sun-soaked day in Perfectville, soon turned chaotic as a horde of marauding Bostonians attacked the domicile of the 1972 Miami Dolphins, who remain the only undefeated team in NFL history.

Background:
As most people are aware, there was a big football game going on last Sunday. It was some sort of championship between two teams that were not located in the Midwest. One team was undefeated and the other team’s quarterback is the younger brother of the great Peyton Manning. Anyway, as a native Hoosier living in Chicago, I found the game to be totally pointless and have decided to focus instead on another weekend match-up that hits a bit closer to home. Oh, and if anyone is curious… The team that had been undefeated choked big time.

Eric Mangini hung up the phone, sat back in his chair, and put on his best cat-swallowing-the-canary grin. The “Man-Genius” had come off a difficult season in which his New York Jets crashed to a 4-12 record. Mangini was widely vilified within the coaching community for blowing the whistle on his former mentor, Bill Belichick, for videotaping the Jets’ defensive signals. Mangini was also targeted by fans and sports reporters for his stubborn refusal to bench Chad Pennington, even though it was clear that Pennington could no longer out-throw the team’s eight year old water boy. Mangini’s reputation as a defensive guru also took a hit as football observers constantly wondered whether his 3-4 formation was compatible with his roster of defensive players.

I told you to believe the hype. I was wrong. No matter how much it tried, the hype couldn’t match what took place on the field Sunday night in Arizona. History was made, logic was defied, men morphed into legends and legends morphed into men, and sixty years from now we’ll all tell our grandchildren what we witnessed that February night. But I was right about one thing. Destiny belonged to the New York Giants, who received every gift from the football gods, and won quite possibly the greatest Super Bowl ever, and the New England Patriots are the owners of the worst 18-1 record in NFL history.

With places like ESPN, SI.com, Boston.com and even the New York Times using the Madden Football videogame series to predict the Super Bowl the last couple of years, we here at Lame Sports have a different idea: a Pee Wee football simulation.

Here we go. After a harrowing bye week that forced football fans across the country to (gulp!) spend a Sunday away from the TV, the big game is upon us. And Super Bowl XLII is a match for the ages. The unbeaten, three-time champion New England Patriots versus the upstart, road warrior New York Giants. Boston versus New York. Bill Belichick versus fellow Parcells-disciple Tom Coughlin. Tom Brady versus the younger Manning. A rematch of the week 17 spectacle in the Meadowlands, in which the Pats needed a ferocious 2nd half comeback to stay unbeaten, and the game that allowed the Giants to believe in themselves. This Super Bowl will live up to the hype.

Shades of ‘The Trade’ have come back to haunt Minnesota Viking fans. Perhaps being a bit over-exuberant, Vikings GM Rob Brzezinski jumped on the recent news of Herschel Walker’s
