| Tom Petty, 'Still Runnin' Down His Dream |
|
Tom Petty has played in more stadiums and to bigger crowds than most athletes in the world.
by Chris Frankie
He’s rocked out at the Super Bowl XLII in Phoenix (Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is a big fan) and plays his songs at arenas all over the world. And when he’s not belting out the tunes in person, they’re being blasted over the PA systems and loud speakers at pro stadiums to rile up the crowd, intimidate opponents, or to simply provide entertainment during a stoppage in play.
If there’s a timeout at a Redwings- Blackhawks game or a pitching change in the bottom of the seventh in a matchup between the Dodgers and Giants, you might hear Petty providing the backdrop. “The waiting is the hardest part,” are likely familiar words to anyone who has sat through either. The lyrics are from the song The Waiting from Petty’s 1981 album Hard Promises.

| Brett Favre, One More Encore |
|
The future Hall of Famer Touches down in New York
by Mark Cannizaro
Throughout his Hall of Fame career, we've seen Brett Favre in triumph, defeat, disappointment, and anger. He's shown a full range of emotions on and off the field.
There’s the exuberant Favre, euphoric like a boy at the neighborhood playground after throwing a game-winning touchdown pass, playfully celebrating with teammates by throwing snowballs at them or picking one of them up and carrying him to the sideline over his shoulder.
