Does Favre Look Good In Purple?
Just in case you haven’t heard about it anywhere, there is a somewhat significant Monday Night Football game tonight. Yes, Brett Favre returns in all his glory to play his former team for the first time in his career. You won’t find anything else on ESPN today, it’s all about Favre. Hey, he hijacked your sports news for 2-3 off-seasons, what’s one more day? While Favre isn’t admitting that this is a shot at revenge, any intelligent fan knows that he’s lying through his teeth. Being that we are based mostly out of Milwaukee, it would be a disservice for FP2FP to gloss over such an important event. What better way to talk about the game than The Forum? Although we only asked for a paragraph, our resident Packers fan, Kevin Tracy, got a little excited and we ended up with two. So, with Brett Favre facing his former team for the first time in his career, what can we expect to see tonight?

When Should Matthew Stafford Play?
Each season, a few teams draft the next franchise-saving quarterback. However, many fans and analysts argue over when that quarterback should start. With the recent announcement that Mark Sanchez will get the starting nod for the Jets, we here at Foul Pole have decided to debate this yearly phenomenon. Without further ado, this week’s Forum question is as follows… Is it more beneficial to start a rookie quarterback immediately or allow them to develop on the bench?

Peterson will likely go number one, but who goes number two?
In this day and age, who doesn’t play fantasy football? With the season approaching, many leagues will be drafting their teams very soon. Anyone who has started to do their research this season knows that Adrian Peterson is the slam-dunk number 1 pick in almost every league. The problems, however, start immediately after AP. Most of the fantasy football magazines out there have either Michael Turner, Maurice Jones-Drew, or Matt Forte as the number two overall player in fantasy drafts. So, who should you choose at number two this season? Let’s go to The Forum.

10 years is a long time, Kurt Warner started his first game in 1999
Training camps have opened, roster battles have begun, and rookies are looking to make their mark. This can only mean one thing, the NFL Season is upon us. Before the season begins, we here at Foul Pole want to give you readers the best and most insightful analysis possible. We’ll start things off by exploring a timeless debate. No one will argue that Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Ed Reed are some of the top players in the game. However, all of those players are in the 30 and over club and don’t have many years left in their primes. Who is going to be the face of the NFL when that time comes? Considering that nothing lasts forever, especially in sports, here is the topic of our very first Forum: Taking age into consideration, if you could build an NFL team around one player for the next 10 years who would it be?
