Welcome to this afternoon’s edition of the “post,” our semi-daily assemblage of links worth reading here in the Palmetto state (and beyond) …
State and federal offices in South Carolina were closed in honor of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. – making it a slow news day – but numerous Palmetto political leaders [...]

Favre Scandal Expands
After being fined $50,000 for refusing to cooperate with the National Football League’s investigation into his alleged stalking, Brett Favre is now facing additional allegations of sexual harassment.
And this time, they’re accompanied by a lawsuit.
Two former masseuses for the New York Jets – Christina Scavo and Shannon O’Toole – claim that Favre sexually harassed them [...]
Stay Classy, Jets
We thought that Brett Favre’s “alleged” penis pics would be the low light of the 2010 NFL season, but that honor now belongs to New York Jets strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi.
Alosi tripped Miami Dolphins special teams player Nolan Carroll during the third quarter of the Dolphins’ 10-6 victory over Jets at the new [...]
Take A Hint, Brett
Even the Metrodome knows when its time to fold, apparently.
Besieged by a blizzard, the roof of the 28-year-old stadium collapsed early Sunday morning, forcing the NFL to postpone the Minnesota Vikings’ game against the New York Giants.
Maybe Minnesota quarterback Bret Fav … re (pardon the Something About Mary flashback) should take this a sign … [...]
Hangin’ Tough
Deanna Favre is keepin’ the faith as the controversy surrounding her husband, NFL legend Brett Favre, continues to dominate sports and tabloid headlines across the country.
“Obviously, I’m a woman of faith,” Favre said on ABC’s Good Morning America Thursday. “And faith has gotten me through many difficult struggles. It will get me through this one.”
Favre’s [...]
Channing Crowder Is Making Sense
While most the NFL buzz of late has focused on Brett Favre’s alleged “sexting” problem, the league is also dealing with what it says are a rash of especially violent helmet-to-helmet hits. And despite the fact that the NFL rulebook already prohibits a player from using “any part of his helmet to butt, spear, [...]
PR Advice For Brett Favre
By Ronn Torossian
I haven’t spoken to or met Minnesota’s Quarterback (Brett) Favre, but if he calls, I would tell him he needs to speak up, and damn quickly. I would remind him that large portions of the Tiger Woods hysteria could have been avoided had Tiger stood up quickly and taken responsibility, which he [...]
Brett Favre, Stalker?
Either Brett Favre is a perverted stalker … or somebody has gone to a lot of trouble to make him look like one.
The 41-year-old Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback – who recently returned to the league after leading his team to the NFC Championship game a year ago – is dodging questions about his romantic interest in [...]
Moss To Minnesota
Two days after being involved in a locker room “outburst,” disgruntled New England Patriots’ wide receiver Randy Moss has been traded to the Minnesota Vikings.
Moss – who was upset over the Patriots’ refusal to give him a long-term contract – was reportedly involved in a “heated exchange” with quarterback coach Bill O’Brien during halftime of [...]
Saints Alive (Barely), Etc.
The New Orleans Saints began their Super Bowl defense on Thursday night against Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings – the same team that basically handed them a victory in last year’s NFC Championship game.
Before a packed house of 70,051 at the Superdome, New Orleans eked out an ugly 14-9 win that left many doubting [...]
Favre’s Back (Again)
Brett Favre will return to the Minnesota Vikings for the 2010 season – his twentieth year in the National Football League.
Favre, 40, made the announcement Wednesday afternoon after several of his Vikings’ teammates traveled to Hattiesburg, Mississippi (Favre’s hometown) to meet with the three-time MVP.
“I owe it to this organization to give it one more [...]
