Sports: Vikings owner on Brett Favre: Really, it’s all on him

  • Right now, it’s all up to Brett Favre in terms of where his future is at. I’ll just leave it at that.
  • Minnesota Vikings owner Zygi Wilf • On whether Brett Favre will be playing for his team next season. As for Favre, his recent surgery might complicate matters. He noted when throwing the ball around recently that he felt it more than he used to. “I threw the ball OK,” he said. “but OK isn’t good enough in the National Football League. At least not for me. So it’s got to get better.” Maybe it’s because you’re old and need to stay retired. • source

  • JR Raphael • In a PC World blog post on the demise of Geocities. You still remember it, right? It was a way that you could put yourself on the Internet for free with a giant ad on top. 15 years in, its owners, Yahoo, have chosen to pull the plug on the useless piece of junk they paid $4.7 billion for a decade ago. Mainly because, well, there are other places you can go to talk about yourself on the Internet. • source
