Forgot to add an important tidbit: Soccer (football) in the US is only ranked 5th or 6th in sports popularity and yet the US pays FIFA and other soccer governing bodies over $350 mil in TV rights fee EVERY year. That's how big this sports market is. The world cup (2018 and 2022) alone was sold to this market for $1.1 billion dollars (up 900% from 10 years ago).The next preseason game will be much more important for Favre. That will be his only real warmup before the season opener. If Favre had committed to the Vikings a month ago, like he should have, the Vikings would be right on schedule.

Year by year the saga of Owens has gotten away from football and focused more on tabloid controversy. Perhaps that explains why a Los Angeles judge offered a frank opinion that his career is likely over. The sixtime Pro Bowl wide receiver hasn't gotten a single offer from an NFL team all season, forcing him to consider settling for an Arena League contract.Speaking of missed field goals
