When asked about the current playing status of Vikings quarterback Brett Favre this week, Green Bay Packers Linebacker Nick Barnett tipped us off just how extensive - and indiscriminate - his team’s defense preparation will be this season.

(No shortage of defensive schemes this season for Pack)

“If he is retired, congratulations. If he’s not, we have the same goal, and that’s to hit him. It doesn’t matter if he retires or not or whoever’s playing quarterback over there - Norman Bates, Jeffrey Dahmer, Saddam Hussein, doesn’t matter. We still have the same goal in mind, to terrorize him.”

Ken Berger of CBSSports.com reported yesterday that Gilbert Arenas could very well be facing jail time because of his penchant for owning unregistered firearms.

In 2003 Arenas was popped for carrying an unlicensed gun. With that context, Berger duly noted:

“The U.S. Attorney will have to file charges for possession of a pistol without a license,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he did not have jurisdiction over the case. “The prosecutor cannot simply walk away from this case.”

It gets worse.

“Given his prior offense, however, a judge might consider jail time in this case,” one of the law enforcement officials said. “It all depends on which judge he draws.”

Aren’t inadvisable draws what got him into this mess in the first place?
