Hey Yall - Brett's BACK....AGAIN - This $@#! HERE

The biggest story in sports is the un-retirement of NFL quarterback Brett Favre.

Favre retiring and un-retiring isn't, in itself, big news. But, Favre joining the Minnesota Vikings, the archrivals of the Green Bay Packers, certainly is.

It's almost impossible to compare this situation to any other in sports.

It would be like Michael Phelps defecting from the U.S. -- and swimming for the Iranian team.

Or like Ronald McDonald doing commercials for Burger King.

Even though many Packer fans saw it coming, they are still stunned by the news and are in for a fascinating NFL season, with Brett Favre dressed in a purple uniform.

ATL Housewife Ne Ne was a STRIPPER - WHAT??

Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes is dishing some dirt...on herself.

The outspoken reality star reveals in her new memoir that she was a stripper. She writes, "Yes, I was a stripper, a woman who took her clothes off and danced for dollars. Let the judgment ensue. I mean, it's easy enough to do, right?"

NeNe says she started dancing, under the name Silk, to make ends meet after her relationship with the father of her oldest son ended.

Here’s what the NY Daily News is reporting:

What difference does it make if I danced or not?" she asks. "Is the sun going to stop shining? Is my past taking food out of your mouth?"

While she may never admit that undressing for money wasn't the wisest career choice, she does feel the need to explain her reasons for doing so. "[I stripped] for the sake of my son, and to restore my confidence in myself," she explains. "My son was in private school, his father wasn't chipping in for pull-ups or food, I had no job and no money coming in, the rent was past due, and the super told me and my roommate that our condo owner was about to put us out. It was about survival."

But Nene - who called herself Silk during her dancing days as a nubile twentysomething - admits that she liked the power that came with being an exotic dancer. "I could make $500 off one guy just by turning him on," she confides in the Touchstone Books tome. These men "were obviously there to see what I had, and I quickly realized that those men weren't there to make me feel bad about myself."
