Dewey Wanted to Apologize for His Recent Encounter
To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me InDowntown Savannah night before last.
Date: 2010-10-6, 1 :43 a.m. E.S.T.

The Brett Favre saga took what seemed to be its final turn last Wednesday, when, Brett returned again (surprise!) to Vikings camp in time to miss the joy of two a day practices.
