"10 things": #5 - The iron man returns to the playoffs

At just about the time that everyone starts to realize that golf’s indestructible man, Tiger Woods, was never really in contention to live up to his manufactured reputation, the NFL gives us reason to cheer again this January. Brett Favre may have taken a hit for his Shakespearean turn against Green Bay these past two seasons, but he will nevertheless head back to the postseason this year amidst a tractor-load of interest. For fans of the game (and Roger Goodell), this is a very good thing. Will Favre finally capture an elusive second Super Bowl title? Or will Drew Brees (or, dare I say, Aaron Rodgers?) outgun the legend and allow Ted Thompson revel in another #4 playoff collapse? I, for one, can’t wait to find out.
