Cindy Crawford

EIGHT: American Beauty No. 1- We at the NFP want to celebrate the Fourth of July with an American beauty — someone who’s worthy of her own holiday. Our expert panel can’t think of anyone we’d rather celebrate with than Cindy Crawford. Living in America is a beautiful thing, my friends.

SEVEN: Superstars- Don’t know if you’ve been watching “The Superstars” on ABC, but I happened to turn it on for about five minutes the other night — and saw T.O. running races (on the beach) against washed-up “Baywatch” actors. How would I rate the show? Well, probably somewhere between “The Hills” marathon and a Jonas Brothers video.

SIX: Favre Jerseys- According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the NFL has yet to start “mass producing” purple Brett Favre jerseys. Oh well, I’m sure after the holiday that Packers fans can use them to mop up the floors at Anduzzi’s Sports Club — across the street from Lambeau Field — after a night of pounding Molsons and Old Styles. Golly, he’s going to be a hated man on Onedia Street this season.

FIVE: American Beauty No. 2- We’re sticking with the holiday theme today, and how could we not mention the Fourth of July, America, Bud Heavies and beautiful women without including Chicago’s very own Jenny McCarthy? It just wouldn’t be right.

Jenny McCarthy

FOUR: Mitchell Let Go- According to USAtoday.com,  former Redskin and team radio analyst Brian Mitchell was fired this week because, he claims, he was “critical” of the team. Hey, Brian, I agree with you because I wouldn’t be able to say anything good about a team that started 6-2 and missed the playoffs, either.

THREE: Wake Up, Rook- According to NFL.com, former Vikings great Cris Carter had some harsh words for a rookie who fell asleep while Carter was talking at this week’s Rookie Symposium. Oh well, sometimes it takes a helmet under the chin from a veteran to know that this isn’t high school anymore. Enjoy it, rookie.

TWO: Marshall Mouths Off- According to DenverNewsChannel.com, Broncos WR Brandon Marshall had some harsh words for the city and the team after a DUI arrest in ’07 that just became public, saying, “I hate Denver. I hope I get traded.” Well, Brandon, I doubt you’re getting traded, but I bet Broncos fans now think the exact same thing about you. Have fun this season — and don’t even think about dropping a pass at home.

Brooke Burke

ONE: American Beauty No. 3- We thought we’d wrap up the week before the festivities start Saturday with one more beauty — one of NFP Fantasy expert Joe Fortenbaugh’s favorites (yes, the same guy who did push-ups in his hotel room before hitting the pool in Vegas). Say hello to Brooke Burke — and rejoice, America.

From the National Football Post, have a great holiday and drink American beer. He gone.

Might be the best Eight in the Box yet.... Love the Crawford pic. Pretty sure I had that exact poster in my dorm room back in college.

Go Bear.

Classy today Matt, real classy...

Can't celebrate the 4th with porn stars, well, maybe you can.

Oh yeah, T.O. looks like a fool on that show.

That Crawford pic is classic, good call. Almost as classic as the old Farrah poster. When I went to Lambeau last year, Favre's restaurant was as packed as Anduzzi's, wonder how business is holding up there now.

Thank you for another stellar Friday send off, Matt. Makes me proud to call the USA home. For some reason can't get the song "You shook me all night long" and AD/DC's take on American thighs out of my head right now.

Matt, your taste in women is sublime, your knowledge of the ins and out of football is extraordinary, and i'm guessing you have a high regard for many of the other finer things in life.

You admonition to drink American beer is well taken, but difficult to do. Your "heavies" are owned by a Canadian company, and the "taste great-less filing" schtick is South African. Many of the other commercial "American" beers now have foreign financial influences too. What's left ? Actually....the best is left. Small crafters brew exemplary beers. Beers that a man of your regard for the finer things would surely appreciate. Brews aged in bourbon barrels for 6 months, or mingled with the smokiness of aged single malt scotches will excite your palate. Porters, ales, bocks, lagers, etc...etc..etc...will arouse your senses. Contact me when you come back to Cheeseland. The lessons will be free. Moum

So the viQueen fans can't wait for their new jerseys, huh?
Be careful what you wish for.
Check out this video

It will satisfy you Packer haters because of the plays.
But you #4 lovers may have a problem with it.
