Okay we all know that Brett is gone. As soon as I heard the news I started calling sportswear stores to see if they have any Favre jerseys left. I don't know, if I should rush and buy the jersey. The really good jersey costs around $110 and the cheaper printed ones cost $75 or $80. I don't have a packers jersey and don't own any other jerseys. Should I go out and make the impulse buy before it's too late?

Now that the warm weather is upon us. Summer sports leagues are in full swing. So parents remember to behave and respect the sport and the athletes. Here's a Southpark parody:

I've followed this topic from the NBA point of view. The NBA no longer allows players straight from high school to enter the NBA draft. So, NBA hopefuls have to wait atleast one year at college X. After one year of college these talented players can enter the NBA Draft and make the big bucks. Now the NBA wants to make players wait 2 years instead of 1 year.

One argument I've heard for letting the kids play straight out of high school is, if these kids have the talent to play in the NBA they should be allowed. Just like if a kid were an expert plumber, carpenter, or artist. Pretty much most other occupations there are no age restrictions. Sorry to bring it up, but kids can join the army right out of high school.

Now the other side of this is, it takes time to become a responsible adult and college can help that. I remember reading Michael Jordan's take on this debate. From what I remember he said during college he honed his skills as a basketball player. Had he went straight to the NBA he wouldn't have had the same success he accomplished after 4 years of college.

I will have to say I side with the NBA and Jordan. I would even go the extreme to say that these NBA hopefuls have to complete 4 years of school and/or require them all to have bachelors degrees. I believe there'd be a lot less mistakes off the court by NBA players. Forcing these players to stay in college or even complete it, would give the NBA the kind of role models children deserve. That 4 years could be the difference between players taking a gun with them everywhere or thinking "hey I'm a rich professional player, maybe I should use my brain."

Now as for the rest of sports, I'm sure there's plenty of different examples of how age requirements could help or hurt a sport.

I really want to hear what you guys think, because I know people are all over the board on this one.


P.S. Sorry, we Web Producers normally don't take a stance. I couldn't resist guys.
