Friday Findings: To watch for this weekend

Not much new news that wasn't available last night, so here's what I'm going to be watching for today and this weekend.

• Will Brett Favre accept the Packers' blood money to stay retired.

• How will Manny respond as a Dodger. Will he play harder? And will hustle nazi Larry Bowa get on his case if he doesn't run out ground balls?

• How will the Brewers respond after being swept by the Cubs in four games in Milwaukee?

• How will the Yankees' pitching staff respond to a new catcher in Pudge Rodriguez? A lot of pitchers just get comfortable throwing to certain guys. Maybe this trade will end up unhinging some of the progress the staff has made over recent weeks.

• And in just a weird Washington headline, an alt-rock drummer got busted for growing weed in the weeds by a turtle. You have to read it to appreciate it.

Here are the links to the FCNP version of Splinters and "Press Pass."
