Hello all of you loyal Football ^FAN^atics,

More than likely, this will be my last article until the NFL draft begins. I just bet that Packer fans everywhere are relieved to hear so early that Brett Favre will continue his remarkable career. Good for him in not giving up on a sport as well as a team that he loves.

Congratulations to the first Afro-American head-coach (Tony Dungy) for winning in Super Bowl XLI. The NFL has been predominately Afro-American since I have been watching the league, except in the coaching department. It took them years of getting the recognition they deserve.

Until my next article, Louie (LOUUP)
