Jeff Hostetler isn't on board with Brett Favre's comeback
The former Giants quarterback had a different take on Favre's comeback than most former players. Where plenty of ex-NFLers applauded Favre for scratching the itch he felt for playing again, Hostetler thinks it will be a tough road for the iconic quarterback.
I caught up with Hostetler the other day at Patriots training camp, where he was watching his nephew, tight end Jonathan Stupar, try out for the team. We were just shooting the breeze about all things NFL when Hostetler shared his opinions about Favre.
Very interesting stuff.
I covered Hostetler during his years with the Giants, and he was one of the most thoughtful and engaging players you'd ever want to meet. A very prideful man, he didn't enjoy sitting on the bench behind Phil Simms all those years. But when his opportunity came in the 1990 season, he made the most of it by leading the Giants to their second Super Bowl championship.

Bob... interesting story about Hoss... but, more importantly, do I need to install extra security - perhaps a few motion detectors - in the PC Wing of my Castle?
The "other" guy might seek revenge now - and go after associates of the Poobah.
BTW - Best's source might be the best "insider" since Deep Throat - he's been spot-on my friend - unlike you.
Back to Water Polo...

nice piece, it's Boland quality!
odd question, but does Stupar have a shot at making the Patsies?
Jeff says he would have come back... of course not, he lives in one of the most beautiful states in the country and owns a very profitable bagel shop.
Anyway, he could possibly be studying film before NFL games anymore, he has to devote his Saturdays to watching his alma matter win the national championship this year! :-)
Goooooo Mountaineeerrrs!
:-)
Mike:
Wow, thanks for elevating me to Boland's class! An honor indeed. I'd say Stupar has an outside chance at best. Belichick does like his effort, though, so I wouldn't completely rule it out.

"I didn't realize you were a member of the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce."
West Virginia CHAMBER OF COMMERCE?
What an opening Bob.
Dare I go there?
I'll keep it simple and mildly offensive and say......."Funded and staffed by moonshiners, fiddle makers, barefoot shoe salesmen, unemployed truckers, and the caddymaster at Greenbriar Country Club".
