People have made a lot of hay about the generation gap Brett Favre is experiencing with his teammates, but consider this: When Testaverde was drafted a full two decades ago, some of his new teammates were still in diapers and the second oldest player on the roster, kicker John Kasay, hadn’t even graduated high school. Vinnie’s been around so long, he’s thrown more passes in his career than all the quarterbacks who have ever played for the Panthers, combined.

On the other hand, you have to hand it to the man for still being able to play. Just look at the list of notable people born in 1963 and you won’t find many who are still kickin’ it old school. Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, and Hakeem Olajuwon are all long retired. Brian Boitano hasn’t skated professionally since 1994 and Mark McGwire hung up his cleats and steroids in 2001. Bret Michaels is over the hill (but no one’s told him yet it seems) and Whitney Houston lost it a long time ago.

So congratulations Vinnie for finding a team desperate enough to pay you a cash money salary for a year.

Kansas City 12, Cleveland 16
Quick thinking. Benny Sapp scooped up an incomplete pass from Charlie Frye to Jerome Harrison that was ruled a lateral and took it 56 yards for the Chiefs’ only touchdown.
What’s he thinking? Brady Quinn was holding the clipboard all night after holding out on the Browns for 12 days trying to get his contract done. Of course, Larry Johnson wasn’t even in a Chiefs uniform as he’s still holding out.

Green Bay 13, Pittsburgh 9
Brett who? Backup QB Aaron Rogers completed 18 of 27 for 168 yards and a touchdown after Green Bay’s first team offense gained all of 12 yards on 12 plays.
Oh that Brett. Favre completed just two of seven passes for seven yards. No interceptions, though.

Carolina 24, New York Giants 21
Funny names are good. Wide receiver Taye Biddle caught two touchdown passes for the Panthers, a 23-yard catch from David Carr late in the first half, and an 85-yard catch and run that shredded the Giants’ secondary early in the third quarter.
Funny names aren’t so good. Giants linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka got beat repeatedly by the Panthers’ rushing attack.

Chicago 20, Houston 19
Sexy. Rex Grossman *gasp* completed his first eight passes for the Bears to go 8 of 10 for 50 yards.
Not so sexy. New Texans QB Matt Schaub missed his chance to score a TD when he overthrew Kevin Walter in the end zone. He finished three of five for 25 yards against a Bears defense that was missing Brian Urlacher and Tommie Harris.

Washington 14, Tennessee 6
Heads up play. Rookie corner Byron Westbrook recovered a fumble in the end zone late in the game to give the Redskins the win.
Head somewhere else. QB Vince Young was benched by Titans head coach Jeff Fisher for violating a team rule.

Arizona 23, Oakland 27
A win is a win. After going 2-14 last year and loosing Art Shell as head coach, Raider Nation will take anything they can get.
A loss is nothing new. One of the Raiders’ wins last year was a 22-9 thrashing of the Cardinals.

Keyshawn Johnson got toally pwned today when the Panthers announced they would cut the veteran wide receiver just days after he watched his team draft Dwayne Jarrett out of USC in the first round of the NFL Draft. Why are the Panthers hatin’ the player like that?
