SITE NEWS: Adios Amigos! (no, not for good)
This will be my view for the next 9 days ...
That’s right, I’m outta here! Tomorrow I’m escaping south for a much-needed vacation, where I will have limited access to football or the interwebs. As such, you won’t be seeing the same volume of posts that you’ve grown accustomed to around these parts … I mean, unless some of my RnR counterparts pick up the slack (not likely).
I return just in time for the Super Bowl, so until then, you’ll just have to find your cutting Pro Bowl and pre-SB coverage elsewhere. Which I’m sure will be quite difficult … later suckers!

Happy Holidays from ReadAndReact!
I triple dog dare you ...
Happy Holidays from all of us here at ReadAndReact HQ! We’ll be tapping the egg nog keg at noon today, and things are bound to get a little crazy with cheer around these parts over the weekend.
Thanks for making our first 9 months on the interwebs such a blast … We hope Santa brings you everything you asked for, and that you stay safe, healthy and warm this holiday season!

Site News: Moratorium on Brett Favre coverage
Brett Favre is one of the greatest QBs in NFL history. This is not up for debate.
However, we here at ReadAndReact have grown weary of Favre’s act of late. We are well-documented in our distaste for Favre’s retiremental flip-flopping, which actually grew tiresome last off-season when he originally un-retired to play for the Jets. But after retiring yet again, only to entertain talks to return just months later – thereby fueling a NFL off-season feeding frenzy among the news-starved media – Favre has just become plain irritating.
After months of speculation and waffling, including clandestine flights to Hattiesburg, MS and back-alley shoulder surgeries to heal his ailing arm, the latest “news” is that Favre may already have a contract in place with the Minnesota Vikings. ProFootballTalk.com says that the Vikings are waiting until July 3rd to make the announcement.
Well, guess what? We just don’t care anymore.
We no longer choose to waste our time discussing non-stories regarding the future of an over-the-hill QB who can’t let go of his glory days, and seems to have some ludicous chip on his shoulder toward the Green Bay Packers (who incidentally made his career possible).
As such, we are are hereby declaring ReadAndReact.net a Favre-Free Zone!!! As our new header suggests, from this day forward, we are banning his name from these pages. We promise to honor this ban until opening day of the 2009 NFL season (09/10/09) – at which point, if Favre does happen to suit up for an NFL team, we will mention him only as it relates to actual football news … or at least to mercilessly make fun of him. But until that time, Favre is dead to us.
So if you’re looking for the latest news about Brett Favre, from now on, you should probably look elsewhere.

The Joyous Union of Read and React Royalty!
The happy couple - Marc and Simone
We interrupt our regularly scheduled NFL banter this weekend, as the ReadAndReact team will be congregating in northern California to celebrate the union of two of our most esteemed colleagues. Marc and Simone are taking the plunge, and without them, let’s face it, this site would be nowhere. They are both truly amazing people, and we couldn’t be happier for them. There will be revelry. Oh yes, there will.
We will also undoubtedly hold a ReadAndReact summit to further our plan for world domination bringing the finest in NFL news and tomfoolery to the people. This too will include many beers, so we could easily get some interesting drunken posts and candid photos this weekend. I’ll be bringing my computer, just in case.
Until then, have a great weekend, and mad love and blessings to the happy couple!!!
