It’s Still Chilly In Minnesota

Happy Holidays to everyone! Speaking of happiness and lack thereof, we take you to Minnesota as the Favre-Childress saga continues. Over at the National Football Post, Mike Lombardi wrote a solid piece on Favre’s issues with Childress. From past history in Minnesota under Childress, he just doesn’t give quarterbacks the ability to call audibles.

Video of the Day: You and I

Not too much today on the Favre/Childress front except for a bit more information regarding reports of Brett getting an earful from Chilly following the game. This is the holiday season and everyone should be happy! At least until Monday night for Minny when it is back to business in Chicago.
Anyhow, it appears the Vikings [...]

Favre Vs. Chilly

The Brett Favre/Brad Childress saga could provide for some compelling drama as we approach the postseason. Last night, Favre told the media that Childress wanted to take him out of the game but Minnesota’s elder quarterback refused. Suffice to say, Chilly was none too pleased. As explained by Mike Florio at ProFootballTalk.com, this isn’t the [...]

Video of the Day: When You Were Young

The NFL Network ran Packers/49ers from the ‘98 playoffs tonight. Of course, that features one of the most dramatic endings in playoff history when a then humble Terrell Owens saved the 49ers’ bacon. This game marked the end of the Packers running roughshod over the NFC in the mid to late 90s.

Week 9’s Face of Defeat

Look Aaron…you seem like a nice kid. You’re a tough kid who had to deal with “Minnesota QB #4″ for all of those years in Green Bay. However, a word if I may. THROW THE BALL AWAY! It’s ok. Really. What sounds better? 2nd and 10 or 2nd and 17?
I just want you to see [...]

Two Minute Warning – Half Dead

One of my favorite pastimes is watching bad movies. If it’s on cable and has one star, I’m in; Killer Clowns from Outer Space? Check. Where do I sign? Penitentiary II featuring Ghostbusters star Ernie Hudson? Probably watched it 15 times. In fact, more that one later…
Most terrible movies work for me except for Hulk [...]

Two Minute Warning – No Scrubs

Following Week 2, I turned on the NFL Network to see numerous analysts including Brian Billick, lauding the impressive state of quarterbacking around the league. After two weeks, the composite quarterback rating proved to 83.9, which at the time was an all-time best for the position.
With so many awful teams around the league, I contend [...]

Packers/Vikings MNF Live Blog – Apocalypse Now Part I

The time has come for Green Bay to face the Chairman of the Board…Mr. Wrangler…the Gunslinger…King of the Living Room…King of the Red Zone… and King of the Offseason Retirement…Minnesota’s new lord and savior, Brett Lorenzo Favre. Sit back with a bratwurst and in the words of The Cars, let the good times roll.

Two Minute Warning: Jacksonville, Randy Newman, and You

While speaking with fellow football fan Andy Goldstein, we both decided that the NFL is in need of change. No, we don’t mean changing rules that give even more advantages to quarterbacks and receivers. Yes, Bill Polian, I’m pointing at you. In this new age of economic suffering and blackouts, it’s time we start to [...]

Apocalypse Now

Well, not that it should be any surprise but on Monday night, I’ll run a live game blog regarding the Minnesota Vikings and you know who taking on the Green Bay Packers in one of the season’s most anticipated games. Three cheers to the suits that figured this game should be on Monday Night Football. [...]
