The Royce Files

Much of the Mid-west is reeling from the double blow of blizzards and the Vikings letting us down by losing the biggest game in years. 5 turnovers and yet they were still in the game- that's probably the best one can take away from it. And any suggestions that Favre is thinking about retiring will receive heavy doubt as did his un-retirement. Now let's get to the ads. Looks like another bearded man will be staring at us when browsing. This guy looks a bit better than the other guys. In fact it could seem a plausible man you'd see at the bar or breaking into your house. However, it seems that these marketing people have a fixation on beards and perhaps Charles Manson wannabes.  

Finally the Brett Favre "is going to play for the Vikings" saga is over. The man decided to stay retired and enjoy the endorsement checks he still receives. (Doesn't he endorse some deodorant? You don't need to be a playing pro football to say "I sweat but this stick makes me smell better.") Nonetheless, it was not a joyful day last week, when Favre made known his intentions, for one Vikings boy reporter. When handed the AP News release, he burst into tears and muttered "The Vikings will not be in the Super Bowl." He could not be consoled until Brad Childress spoke with him. It is suspected Brad promised the boy a pony.
