I've mentioned it before but as long as the Redskins continue to flail their way through the season, and owner Dan Snyder and the assistant to the traveling secretary Vinny Cerrato continue to incite an already disgruntled fan base, I suspect we'll see more of the creative spirit to help supporters cope with the rampant incompetence.

Today's offering: BangCartoon's "Flawed Execution." John Tayman is the guy behind the art and, sadly, he's a Redskins fan. But the suffering makes the final product all the more heartfelt, poignant and funny as hell.

Brett Favre returns to Green Bay Sunday and FOX Sports will make sure you don't miss any of it. That's not hyperbole -- the network will have a camera trained on the 40-year-old quarterback for 60 minutes of football, and they'll stream it live on FOXSports.com and NFL.com.

Because if it's one thing that we need more of, it's Brett Favre.

The New York Times' Judy Battista first mentioned the news on Twitter ("Fox is going to have 'Favre-cam' Sunday, providing a non-stop online feed of Favre's every move at Lambeau. Lombardi, turning over.") And the Star-Tribune's Judd Zulgad got the official word from FOX: there will be a camera on the 50-yard line "isolated on Favre from the second he takes the field against his former team until the moment he runs back into the locker room."

Awesome.

NFL Coaches Fight Club: the Tournament. Because we have nothing better to do than predict what might happen if head coaches started punching each other in the face.

Mark Sanchez caught a ton of grief recently when he decided to eat a hot dog on the sideline late in a blowout win over the Raiders. And I mean that -- people kind of freaked on the Jets quarterback, for no apparent reason other than the fact that the dude was hungry and pounded a dog.

Fortunately for everyone's sake, Sanchez was poised (!) enough to offer an apology after the game. But he wasn't done there; on Wednesday, the Jets announced (via Twitter) that Sanchez was going to get his charitable grub on for a local food shelter.

And now something for the discerning fan: Collinsworth NFL 10.

It makes perfect sense, really. Cris Collinsworth replaced John Madden in the NBC Sunday Night Football booth, and Madden is responsible for changing the face of gaming. So naturally, Collinsworth should have his own video game too.

It doesn't have the bells and whistles of the latest Madden offering, but if you're partial to old-school, hard-nosed football, it'll be right up your alley. It also helps if you still have an Atari 2600 laying around.

This Sunday, Brett Favre returns to Lambeau Field for the first time as a member of the Vikings. For many (read: all) Packers fans, this will be a bit of a tough pill to swallow. However, 105.7 WAPL (The Rockin' Apple, y'all!) in Green Bay would just as soon not deal with "emotions" or "reality."

Instead, they're just going to "kill" Favre.

I'm beginning to think that Redskins owner Dan Snyder might be making things worse between the fans and the team. Throwing millions at over-the-hill players is one thing, but putting unreasonable in-stadium restrictions on the tens of thousands of supporters who battle beltway traffic to endure three hours of what now passes for football ... well, let's just say the persecuted are mobilizing.

In the wake of the team's latest loss -- a 27-17 Monday night matchup with the Eagles that the 'Skins never had a chance of winning -- comes reports that a few fans were ejected from FedEx Field for wielding anti-Snyder signs.

Wade Phillips isn't much to look at, but Cowboys owner Jerry Jones didn't hire the Son of Bum to model puffy jackets. He hired him for his football acumen. The bloodlines and several successful stints as a defensive coordinator suggested he was up for it, even if Phillips doesn't exactly exude confidence.

I often think owners and general managers fall in love with potential head coaching candidates because of their assistant coaching track record, even though the biggest part of the job usually has more to do with, in Mike Tomlin's words, "leading men," than it does with Xs and Os.

Which goes a long way in explaining why some fans aren't sold on Phillips as the long-term answer in Dallas. And some media types, too. Like, say the Dallas Observer's Richie Whitt, who uses a recent Phillips radio appearance to illustrate the point.

I'm not a Redskins or Eagles fan, but I watched the Monday Night Football telecast because, like most people, I wanted to see how a guy who was calling bingo games a month ago might do as a play-caller. Turns out, better than you might think. But as ESPN's Ron Jaworski reminded us every 15 seconds: IT'S MORE ABOUT THE EXECUTION THAN THE PLAY CALL.

Duly noted, sir.

Anyway, as Jaws, Jon Gruden and Mike Tirico came on the air to preview the game, I noticed what looked like a fly on Tirico's head. And thanks to Hot Clicks, that was apparently the case.

Jay Cutler can fail on and off the field, it seems*. This should come as a relief to Broncos fans and the obsessive-compulsive set who demand symmetry in their daily lives.

In addition to deftly filling the huge void left by predecessors Kordell Steward, Chad Hutchinson and Rex Grossman, Cutler also has horrible taste in music. Via the Chicago Tribune (by way of Tremendous Upside Potential and TBL)
