Well, this is going to be everywhere in no time at all: a guess as to what Brett Favre’s version of LeBron’s infamous RISE commercial would be. I feel sorry for this actor. He does such a good job of being Favre that he’s bound to be typecast as a once-great quarterback turned fame-whoring creep. Not too many roles like that in Hollywood.

GQ has a new feature on our blogging friend A.J. Daulerio, editor of Deadspin, the website that spawned an active commenting section where your KSK bloggers first interacted. We’ve known A.J. for a couple years now — I was part of a memorable, if blurry, night in Miami that featured us getting thrown out of a party and ended with Paul Rudd singing karaoke — so our interest in the story is as much personal as professional, but we feel there’s enough back story on how Favre’s little dong landed on the Internet that you’d want to read it.

Before posting the photos and voice mails, Daulerio argued with Gawker’s lawyer and chief operating officer, Gaby Darbyshire, over legal exposure. “She’s like, ‘You’re willing to go to jail for this? It’s just a dong shot,’ ” Daulerio recalls. “And I’m like, ‘It’s f*cking Brett Favre’s cock shot.’ So yeah. If Brett Favre sued or [the pictures] were subpoenaed—I don’t think they’d send me to jail for that, but given the choice, sure.” In the end, Daulerio agreed to sign documents assuming responsibility for protecting the source’s identity.

Immediately after posting, Daulerio says he sent the URL to “an intermediary” who confirmed—Daulerio won’t say how—that it was, in fact, Favre’s member in the pictures. No one has sued him (yet), and Deadspin had its first mainstream-media moment.

“I did like nine television shows in two days,” Daulerio recalls. “The Today show called me on a Sunday at two thirty. It was brunch time with my girlfriend and a friend, and I was half in the bag. A couple of hours and two bong hits later, I’m doing an interview on the porch. Everyone is jamming Adderall to clean the place as quickly as possible. I was trying to find pants.”

Ahhh, stereotype CONFIRMED. The whole article (which mentions our own Big Daddy Drew) is worth your time: it’s a fair portrayal of a blogger who’s fearless, ballsy, and — yes — a little sketchy and occasionally unhinged. We salute you, Daulerio. Just remember that GQ loved KSK first.

Sculptor Caesar Yanez created this likeness of Brett Favre. Anyone with a sense of theology and geometry would agree this sculpture would look good on a monument at the family cemetery in Kiln—that is assuming Favre is still dead from yesterday’s hit from Arthur Moats. If not, this bust should serve as his shrine in Canton one day. Even if it does remind us of someone other than the old gunslinger…

DEAL WITH IT.

Holy cow, what a crazy week for the NFL — and already a wild year for fantasy football. Randy Moss to Minnesota, Brett Favre’s penis (allegedly!), Marshawn Lynch to the Seahawks, white running backs everywhere, Christopher Ivory (who’s black) and Ladell Betts in the Saints backfield, someone named Max Hall starting at quarterback for the Cardinals this Sunday, and the Chiefs at 3-0 are the only undefeated team in the NFL. There’s barely enough time to think about sex.

Except there’s ALWAYS enough time to think about sex. Thanks to everyone who sent in such concise questions this week, and apologies to those who didn’t make the cut — even with the short questions, we’re still clocking in at about 5,500 words. Woooo-wee! And not a friend zone question in sight! Don’t get used to it or this mailbag’s gonna make you spoiled.

The sports blogosphere is strangely divorced from the rest of Internet culture. As it turns out, people who love getting drunk and shouting slurs at sporting events don’t share a lot of the same interests as the people commenting on Reddit and making Photoshops for the forums at Fark and Something Awful. The /b/tards at 4chan, I suspect, do not play fantasy football.

And that’s too bad, because I love Internet culture. And I love the NFL. They should get together and hang out more often; I think they’d hit it off. So I decided to introduce them. I sifted through a bunch of AP and Getty photos from Week 1 of the NFL, and I added some of the most popular memes of the last couple months (with helpful links for all you n00bs). Enjoy.

NSFW language, animated jizz

In case Big Daddy Drew’s Peter King fan-fiction gay erotica just isn’t doing it for you anymore, the twisted sickos at ZubazPants.com have unleashed this tale of wanton lust. We may have to do two cheerleader posts this week to atone for this.
