  1. Kind of a relief, no? Does this mean we can't get Fukudome now though?
  2. Just like how Favre was undefeated when the temperature was less than 34 degrees and we had the Falcons at home in the playoffs when it was freezing. We all know what happened then. Yeah, Michael Vick raped the Pack's defense. You aren't really going to argue that a Packer failure that broke a weather trend is the same thing as winning a game in a building where the Pack has never won, against a version of the opponent that is better than any version the Pack has ever faced in that building? Are you? I like this year's Cowboys team, but I'm not sure if they are better than the Aikman-Smith-Irvin version. Well -- latter day version, sure they are. The Pack weren't really a winning club until mid-late '90s, of course they were going to lose to the Boys in the early '90s.

  4. Because it's irrelevant to the here and now. I would care if a Cub tested positive now, because it would have a direct impact on the team, as well as proving that individual an idiot for taking something now that MLB has a testing program. But revealing who used in the past serves no purpose. Does it have to serve a purpose in the here & now in order to be something that's worthwhile knowing? And what purpose does it serve? How is it worthwhile knowing? It's just one more piece of information that I can use to determine how I will view that period in baseball history. It's like anything else historical. There's no current purpose served, it's just knowing more about what really happened.
  5. How about because the Packers have been down there 9 times with Favre, and are 0-9? At least that's what they said on the broadcast last night.
  6. I don't agree with that. I think the loss all but guarantees the Pack will need to come to Dallas to get to the Super Bowl, and I think that's an impossible task for them. Sitting here in late November, it looks to me that the Packers' SB hopes were just dealt a pretty critical blow.
  7. Really? I thought they looked largely overmatched for most of the night.

  9. Favre is the most popular player? Tom Brady anyone? Is Brady really that popular? I live near Indy so my perception may be tainted but it seems like he's largely disliked besides by Patriots fans and ESPN. No questioning Brady's talent on the field, but to me he comes off as smug and too "GQ" for my taste. I really don't like him all that much. Again though, obviously a great football player.
  10. The Bears and Packers both lost to the Cowboys by the same score. Cowboys are the prohibitive favorites in the NFC now. I think it likely that the probability of the Packers going to Dallas and winning in the playoffs is close to zero. I don't think Favre-era Packers have ever won in that stadium, and I don't see how they will now even if healthy.

    The NBA thread

    The Knicks took care of the Bulls. I shudder to think what might happen when the Bulls play Boston.
  12. I mean if you don't know enough to throw the flag when the play is happening, then you don't throw a flag that essentially wins the game for one team. Period end of story. I really think they need to put review in for PI calls. I don't think that was PI. Or at least, it shouldn't be. It's just too ticky-tack, the feet got tangled, who cares if his hand briefly touched his biceps -- it's not a game of tiddly winks.
  13. Sheesh, if you're gonna name the names, then name the freaking names. Enough of this "get ready, here it comes!!" crap. Do it, or don't.
  14. Totally ridiculous to throw a 40-yard flag 15 seconds after the play is over. These refs are just horrible.
  15. Bah.
  16. Well well well. Redemption for Harris.
  17. Owens never had control of that one.
  18. That was crushing.
  19. So Harris gets flagged for throwing the ball down, then Romo does it and no flag? That's BS.
  20. I might have to revise my opinion of Rodgers. I know Dallas has gone away from their blitz packages (why?) but he looks much better than I've seen him in a regular season game before.
  21. Just wanted to rest them? In the most important game of the year? That's either untrue, or 100% proof McCarthy is [expletive]. Favre is now hurt, Rodgers is in and looking like the bust that he is. Packers have exactly 0 chance of coming here in the playoffs and winning. Their only chance is to get the Cowboys to come up into the cold, and that chance is going bye-bye real quick. That bust just threw the only packers TD (passing td) of the night. The Cowboys are geared to play Favre. Good for Rodgers, but I've seen plenty of bad QBs toss a TD pass or two. Oh i know, I was just saying. This game isn't looking good at all. Especially if Favre is gone for the night. I am sort of rooting for the Pack. I get sick of the NFC North being kicked around. And I hate the Cowboys. .....damn Pack can't even cover the kickoff.
  22. To hell with you! I was enjoying the dream, thanks pal! 8-)
  23. And Chris Collinsworth is openly rooting for Dallas, to the point where you think he's about ready to orally pleasure Tony Romo. It's been hard to root for the Packers with Favre playing like an idiot, giving the ball back to the Cowboys every possession.
