THE BRIAN FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING: Jimmy’s Friday night interview with Tracy Morgan is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on Late Night TV save for a few of other (Letterman-Blago, Letterman-Phoenix, and the delightfully unhinged (and sort sad) Artie Lange interview on Conan). I don’t want to give too much away, but it involves Snuggies. Watch here.

PRIOR RESTRAINT: Jettisoned former Cub Mark Prior shows up in a new Yahoo Sports article by Jeff Passan. It discusses his pitching mechanics and how they likely contributed to his long DL streaks. Whatever opinion you have on the man with the biggest calves in baseball, It’s a very interesting read.

TO BRETT, OR NOT TO BRETT?: Sports Illustrated’s pesky “Truth and Rumors” page is reporting that the Packers are holding off on retiring the finally-retired QB’s legendary “4″ jersey. Why? The Packers president said both sides need “time”. Oh really? Please! He gave you guys 16 YEARS OF STRAIGHT STARTS WITHOUT MISSING A GAME, and two Super Bowl appearances, one of which was a win. That franchise would have been dead in the water without him. Or a lot more like my Bears. Usually maddeningly deficient, peppered with a few good seasons strung together.

FAILED TEST: Some sad news out of the pro wrestling world, as Andrew “Test” Martin was found dead in his Tampa apartment Friday night. For all intents and purposes, Martin was an able perfomer, kind of in the big-man mold of Kevin Nash. His Summerslam 1999 match vs. Shane McMahon is a Street Fight classic.

OMGZ NINETIES ROCK BITCHFEST: The Trent Reznor-Chris Cornell Twitter war is really funny. Loving the hair, Chris. 1998 called and they want it back.

ROCK (WITH OR WITHOUT) YOU:Is this Michael Jackson?I’m thinking MAYBE. AEG can’t insure tickets for his summer shows in London. Sounds like a big problem.

SPEAK TO ME/BREATHE: Have an opinion? Comment!
