Does Brett Favre like Lindsay Lohan?

Who knows? Who cares?

But it was suggested to me by loyal reader Faw Bills that simply writing that headline (we posted a slightly different version before, but it was suggested it was a bit over the top, so we've toned it down) will create a decent chance of this blog post being picked up on Google searches and thus enhancing page views.

Again, they didn't teach us this stuff in journalism class, but since Google now rules the world, we will abide by the new rules.

In the meantime, the real story with Favre is obviously the continuing saga about where he'll end up.

Favre is hoping something can be worked out by tomorrow or Wednesday. If not, then don't be surprised to see the 38-year-old quarterback who has mentally retired and unretired about a billion times in the last four-plus months report to Packers' camp.

The Jets, meanwhile, appear to be taking a wait-and-see approach. My sense is that they're not closing the door on the possibility of Favre joining the team, but they're not willing to pay a king's ransom for a quarterback who might give them only a year.

My other sense is that Favre's preferred team is the Vikings, who are coached by Brad Childress, a man Favre befriended when Childress sat in on some Packers' meetings when he was a college coach. Childress also worked extensively with former Packers assistant Andy Reid, who is now the Eagles' head coach.

As for Ms. Lohan, please check various gossip sites for any updates about her personal life.

You have got to be kidding me with that headline...

Give me a break, why not just run an Imus headline. Clever as it is, this stunt is beneath even The Watchdog!

E. Boland:

This coming from a man who regularly subscribes to the blogrotica school of cheap page views?

channelXRFR:

I take that as a compliment.

:)

I'm quite sure I don't know what you mean

E. Boland:

You know exactly what I mean, young man. If you don't knock it off, I will personally call Mangini and tell him never to give his player - and thus the writers - another day off the rest of the season.

Top shelf, BG, you have outdone yourself.

Censored? Tis a shame, even the deadspin gang would have been impressed.

Don't tell me the humorless police made an arrest here...

No arrest, per se. Just a gentle suggestion that perhaps we could have achieved the same result had we tempered our headline ... which did, in fact, occur.

Craig, sorry to disappoint. We will rally, however.

No worries, I believe in the Glauber revolution.
