The Monkey and I are on record as supporters of NFL living legend Brett Favre’s decision to return to football in 2009.

We also contend that one’s view of Brett Favre has a lot to do with one’s view of one’s self. Do we believe that individuals should have a right to make decisions for themselves? Do we believe that individuals should have a right to pursue their dreams, aspirations, and goals? Do we believe that it is on the individual to decide what is best for one’s self? Do wish to blame a person or deride a person for being torn about his decisions. I mean, the man is a Libra. Should we be surprised that he is behaving like himself?

As you may or may not have noticed, for the most part, the NFL articles on Monkeyinmymind are not about X’s and O’s.  Our observations here are only tangentally concerned about gameplans, playcalling, [...]

The Green Bay Packers: Living Up to a Monkey’s Expectations
While it seemed many sports pundits and fans alike had high hopes for the 2008 Green Bay Packers and fully expected them to continue their winning ways with first-time starting QB Aaron Rodgers at the helm, the Monkey and I were among the few voices out [...]

After starting the first half of the 2008 NFL season 6-2, the Washington Redskins are now facing three “must-win” games if they want to manifest an outside shot at making the playoffs as the number #2 Wild Card team in the National Football Conference. This “bladerunning” status is nothing new for them, as they [...]

What was the most notable development coming out of Week 11? Was it on Thursday night, when the Brett Favre-led New York Jets took the lead in the AFC East with a monster win over their arch rival New England Patriots? Or how about the much heralded Return of the Savior in Dallas that [...]

“Midway Point” team rankings coming after Week 10? No recap following Week 9? What’s going on here at Monkeyinmymind.com? The only answer I can say in reply is that I guess the Presidential Election took the MiMM offices by storm and no one on the staff was able to focus on much [...]

As soon as I saw the first shot of Clinton Portis jogging down the passageway leading from the locker room to the field during the opening moments of ESPN’s broadcast of the 2008 Election Eve Monday Night Football showdown between the 5-2 Pittsburgh Steelers and the 6-2 Washington Redskins, I knew something wasn’t quite right. [...]

One of the Top 10 posts on this blog in terms of visits is an article called, “Kickers Are Not Football Players,” in which my Monkey Mind basically questions whether or not kickers and punters are actually “real” football players and proposes a rule change that would make many of their services obsolete. Since [...]

While the Monkey and I were able to catch a few games this weekend, unfortunately we were mostly primarily involved in a huge move from our condo to a new house and are unable to provide a full recap of all the excitement in Week 6. What a sad thing that is, given the incredible [...]

Another fantastic weekend in the NFL, culminating in a stranger-than-fiction Monday Night affair down in the Big Easy.  I have to say, as there is no doubt that there is some odd mojo (or voodoo) floating through the consciousness of New Orleans, it is not surprising that their football club often has to contend with unusually [...]
