I thought of Manny Ramirez when I said that. The Boston Red Sox couldn't wait to get rid of Manny and are even paying his salary as he helps the Los Angeles Dodgers — five RBIs on Saturday — take over first place in the NL West. I'm sure many Dodgers fans think Manny is a great guy and have forgotten past locker-room stories and why he turned off his teammates in Boston.

Manny's great recovery brings me to Brett Favre. I realize many are sick of hearing about Favre, but he will be the subject of conversation on Sunday's FOX NFL Sunday. Favre, always considered a good ol' boy from Mississippi, will be starting for the New York Jets after a Hall of Fame career in Green Bay. No matter how you slice it, the Packers got rid of him, just like the Red Sox dumped Manny.
