Studs and Duds: The first football dud of the blog

Studs

Andrew McCutchen, Pittsburgh Pirates -- Can you say "A house afire?" I knew you could!

The Pitt hasn't had much to cheer about in the world of baseball since before the dawn of the internet, what with the trade-happy Pirate ownership. If McCutcheon can stay hot and extend his sterling performance this week -- 10 game hitting-streak, 3 homers, 7 RBIs and 2 signal -- he will inevitably wind up with another team within the next two years.

Scott Feldman, Texas Rangers -- Scott, not Corey. His stats on the year are impressive: 14-4, 3.72 ERA. He is 5-0 with a 2.89 ERA in his past six starts. In 11 starts away from Texas, he is 10-1 with a 2.75 ERA.

Dud
Brett Favre, Minnesota Vikings -- The retiring. The un-retiring. The riding the fence. This guy and his Roger Clemensish ilk put the "queen" in "drama queen," and I'm tired of seeing his Neanderthal brow gracing my sports programming. Even his cousin hates his guts. Even his cousin's pet goat hates his guts.
