Around the NFL

So before the game on Monday, Brett Favre told the Minnesota Vikings that he may have cracked a rib or something after taking some hard hits last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. Their has been no x-rays yet or no reports about it, but Favre has complained about it being hard to breathe. He will st5ill be playing in the next preseason game, unless something happens to him in between now and the next game or the beginning of the regular season... is it bad for me to hope that there is something wrong with him, so he doesn't come back and he will be gone for the rest of the season or maybe forever?

New York Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora missed practice today, and head coach Tom Coughlin doesn't know why. Osi attended team meeting on Monday morning and left unexpectedly and didn't talk to Coughlin before leaving and never returned to practice. General manager Jerry Reese, send a text message to Osi and asked him if everything was alright; Osi replied that everything was 'OK', but he didn't explain why he left. Since he was absent for practice, it will be considered unexcused, and he will most likely be fined.

Rumors: Supposedly posted by http://espn.go.com, he left after he had gotten into a dispute with new defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan. He supposedly criticized Osi for making a mistake in Saturday's game against the Jets.

" We will have to talk to him when he gets back. Obviously he is not here, so I am concerned. There must have been something of a personal nature, and he left. I haven't personally talked to him. He did respond to Jerry, evidently by text. That's all I have. I haven't seen him, so I can't tell you." Coughlin states.

Well whatever it is, you know I will be keeping you all posted on this story ;)
