The following e-mail landed in our inbox over the weekend: "Jimmy, I'm channel flipping between the Vikings preseason game and the Olympic Opening Ceremony and my friend Brian and I got a glimpse of a hot Olympian from Paraguay. With a little help from Google, I found out her name is Leryn Franco and she throws javelin. But, with a little bit more research I found something even better. On sports-reference.com, I found she combines her athletic endeavors with a career as a model and beauty pageant contestant. Franco was the runner-up in the Miss Paraguay competition in 2006 and also in the Miss Bikini Universe pageant the same year. Help me find some photos of her in a bikini, please! Sincerely, Brian & Brian from Rochester, Minn." So we did a quick search, but couldn't unearth anything. However, Brian was not to be denied. He ended up writing back to us to tell us he found a site that features the stunning Franco. Her pics aren't as risque as Bia and Branca Feres, but we'll predict they'll turn each and every one of you into a fan of the Paraguay javelin team. As for Brian and Brian -- major props to them. They're Hot Clicks Hall of Famers.

Is the Madden curse behind Brett Favre being denied a return to Green Bay and then being subsequently traded to the Jets? It's not an injury or an arrest, but definitely not what Favre had originally envisioned. Have any blogs picked this idea up?" We don't know if any blogs have picked up on it, but it's a great point.

Watch This Play

We saw this live last night and it was clearly one of the best plays you'll ever see in an exhibition game. Packers wideout James Jones catches a pass, gets hammered by two defenders, loses his helmet, but manages to stay up and spring to the end zone.
