Would You Like Your Child To Play Catch With Brett Favre?
Look, you love Brett Favre. It's okay; it's a natural part of being alive. You're still mourning his for-realsies-this-time retirement. You're still wearing his jersey. You're probably a Jacksonville Jaguars fan, but you still had a jersey made that says "FAVRE 4" on the back, because you love him so dang much. (And I mean, what else do you have to feel good about?) But what if I told you there was a way that you -- yes, you -- could interact with the great Brett Favre himself? No, I'm not pulling your chain.

Junior Seau's Garage Robbed 5 Days After His Death
Junior Seau's suicide earlier this month sent shockwaves of grief through the sporting world and Southern California. But for at least one lowlife, it also presented an opportunity -- an opportunity to climb through the doggy door of a dead man's garage and steal from a grieving family.

Osi Umenyiora, LeSean McCoy Have Mother's Day Twitter Fight
Osi Umenyiora probably woke up super early on Mother's Day to make breakfast in bed for his mom. Because by 9:36 a.m. ET, the Giants defensive end was free to get on Twitter and wish a happy Mother's Day to Eagles running back LeSean McCoy.
So, the spat between these two is still on, a fact that Umenyiora confirmed when he tweeted at former teammate Brandon Jacobs: "hahaha u know the beef is never over. Never."
Not even on Mother's Day, apparently. #ShotsFired after the jump.

Tim Tebow, Mark Sanchez Are 'Great,' Thank You Very Much
First it was Tebow using the word excited during his first press conference as a New York Jet. That led to what's become a running joke, and the video mashups have been aplenty.
And now there's this:
But wait! How's Tebow?
Look, they're both just playing the "Meow" game from Super Troopers with a different word. That's all this is, and it was the case with Tebow's "excited" presser, too.

Tim Tebow Renames Dog In Shameless Attempt To Pander To Jets Fans
Tim Tebow is no stranger to raising eyebrows, making headlines and spurring furious debate, both on and off the field.
His recent relocation from starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos to backup (for now) quarterback of the New York Jets is something you've already been heading about for months and will continue to hear about ... probably forever. A tidbit of Tebow news (or TidBowNew) has sprung up on Tuesday and we here at SB Nation are happy to throw another log on the bonfire of debate.

Would Minnesota's New Football Stadium Outlive Football?
The Minnesota legislature has been in a months-long battle to agree on a stadium proposal that would keep the Vikings in town (it looks like they'll succeed), and it's a safe bet that they won't be the last city or state that has this problem, as the debate over publicly-financed stadiums continues nationwide.
At the same time, the NFL's facing unprecedented scrutiny over the health risks inherent to football, intellectuals are debating whether we should ban the college game, and this week, ESPN's Outside the Lines reported on the risks of football among youth.
