Favre: Some young players better at Madden than the real thing
Recently announced Madden NFL 09 coverboy, and retiree, Brett Favre was vocal on his future and video game honor in an interview with the Associated Press last Friday.

"Most of the younger generation has no idea [John Madden] coached."Favre ended the Madden discussion by taking a quick shot at the younger generation of NFL Pros. "Some of our guys play Madden better than they play on Sundays. And they spend more time talking about playing Madden." Well, based on Green Bay's 2007-2008 playoff record, the team clearly didn't spending time talking about beating the New York Giants. Ba-zing!

According to some posters at NeoGAF, Nintendo is looking for around 150 workers to begin packing Wii consoles at the North Bend distribution facility.

Brett Favre could not be reached for comment. (Zing!)Just a couple more days! Remember, remember, the 14th of September ...[via 4cr][Thanks, Benny!]
