Brett Favre

Now for all those who though that they have seen the last of Brett Favre, they have got (yet) another thing coming. The 39 year old NFL icon has been reported to be joining Minnesota Vikings, his arch rivals from the days in Green Bay where he spent 16 years of his football career. Effectively, his retirement period lasted a mere three weeks this time!

Going for a complete change of opinion regarding his playing status for his consecutive second summer, the record holder of all the important NFL career passing record will gear up for Minnesota starting with Friday’s preseason game at the Metrodome with the sole objective to help the Vikings win the much coveted maiden Super Bowl. According to Favre, it is just for his sheer passion for the game which has brought him back to the arena and has denied any such motivating factors such as revenge against a particular team or something like that.

FA Cup

The popular domestic English Cup programme, the FA cup final’s programme is finally going online. Taunted by many as a long overdue move, the programme will now be available to the millions of fans around the globe who have been yearning to see football online. Many would have expected the move to be resisted by the football programme collectors but in fact they seem to be content with it. The programme will show interesting highlights and football content from the famous cup.

The online version of the programme will be available free-off-charge and is expected to showcase talent including the myriads of classic goals, funny moments and brilliant pieces of individual skills.

It will generate hype about the cup and moreover, it will give a chance to programme collectors to increase their memorabilia even further. Though the move may be welcomed by many, most programmes will eventually go digital as the times change so this is just another way to ensure that the programme grows its viewership and changes with technology. After all, the globe is becoming a digital village. The programme is being made available by the FA cup sponsors; the energy company EON.
