Price of a 1×1-foot piece of live sod from the old Yankee Stadium (shown) being sold by the Yankees-Steiner Collectibles partnership.

After visiting a friend’s blog, I discovered that I had completely forgotten Mother’s Day. I’m not a mother myself, and have no mother or maternal relations, so I often forget. But I think fathers are getting a raw deal.

My husband Mike destroyed our lawn mower last fall. He isn’t very mechanical and he forgot to check the oil level. He heard the valves clicking but he only had “a little more to do.” To no one’s surprise, he heard a loud pop and found a gaping hole in the side of the mower’s engine. Into the garbage it went. This Spring, Mike called my sister Kat to see if he could borrow her lawnmower since we hadn’t bought a new one yet. She did him one better. It turns out that Kat had 3 mowers in her shed. She felt bad for Mike and gave him one of her “extra” mowers. It was a red MTD mower.

“To be honest, you look at our situation, Brett Favre is a great one-year-type deal. You get to play with him, and say, ‘Hey, I played with Brett Favre,’ and tell your grandkids one day, ‘I was Brett Favre’s teammate.’ But I look at our team the way we’re stacked right now. We have a good group of veterans and a good group of young guys. We have a solid team for the next four or five or however many years we stay together.” — Minnesota Vikings DE Jared Allen, on rumors that Brett Favre may join his team.
The curtain appears to be closing on the theater of the absurd.
We hope!
Please!

Deanna Favre goes for a ride a nice lawnmower.
What went down? An insanely informative and enlightening debate with a group of friends who also happen to be astute football enthusiasts on NFL.com.
The topic … will Brett Favre return to the NFL in 2009?
It was a spirited debate that was all over the board, touching on such subjects as the Vikings’ laughable lot of QBs, Willard Scott, Can’t Buy Me Love and tractors.
