When it comes down to it, not even Jesus got as much of a pass from the media as Brett Favre does. Even Michael Jordan got razzed for his ultimately failed comeback with the Wizards and his gambling and marital problems. Barack Obama has Fox News breathing down his neck. Brett Favre stabs the Packers in the back with his fake retirement, he joins the Jets and leads them to the biggest collapse in their franchise, their head coach prodigy gets fired, Hall of Fame coaches (Cowher and Shanahan) don't want to go anywhere near the team if he's there next year, his teammates are falling over themselves ripping him apart...and the national sports media still treats him like he's Saint Brett the First.

Favre was a all-time great quarterback, but he's also the most overrated athlete of my lifetime.

Anyway, here are my picks for this week's playoff games (yeah I realize that the games started yesterday).

Cardinals over Falcons (won)
Colts over Chargers (lost)
Ravens over Dolphins
Eagles over Vikings
