Favre Files Retirement Papers

Even though he still has time to change his mind, according to sources Brett Favre filed for retirement from the NFL after his final game. There is no indications that he plans to flip flop on his decision this time, he has already said that 2010 would be his final season, and in a round about way said his goodbyes during recent press conferences. 2010 proved to be one of Favre's worst years with a high number of interceptions, low number of completions and injuries. We also can't forget about the drama that came back to bite him; that being the accusations, investigations and fines due to his harassment charges from his time as a New York Jet.
The legend may finally be ready to hang up his cleats.

One Winner Steps Forward

Meet the McCullars from Washington they just stepped forward as being 1 of the 2 winners of the Mega Millions lottery. Their half of the winnings is $190 million!

Play pretend for a moment.... Would you go with the yearly payments or the lump sum? How would you spend it?
