9:04 – Hey Berman, Disney doesn’t have hockey anymore, and the NHL got rid of the old division names long, long ago. In other sports – Rocket back to the Red Sox? (must be the money); and Ron “Boom-Boom” Artest wants out of Indiana, no word on the rumors that Don King is now his manager (okay, I made that last part up, but give me a break – them drinks are getting stronger as the night keeps on getting longer). Attention, your attention please. Saturday NFL games start next weekend. For you gambling degenerates and pool-playing palookas (this includes me), you now have one less day to figure out the week.
9:18 – Down goes Hanson, down goes Hanson. Packers get the ball at their 40 as Hanson shakes off slipping as he planted his left leg to drive the ball. Favre, Fergie is not Walker; you can’t underthrow him like that. Add Theisman to the Favre’s back crowd, as McQuarters almost pick-sixed a forced pass toward the absent Donald Driver. 3-and-out #2.
9:22 – Good Ahmad shows up again, then Nick Collins does his Leroy Butler impersonation. The Lions aren’t sending enough guys out on routes; Roman hasn’t been exposed lately, but they’re dolng just enough to keep the chains moving. Williams the latest victim of the Lambeau turf as throw-short-of-the-marker doesn’t work. Can we pick up Nick Harris; not only can he hold, but he can make those punts stick inside the 5.
9:31 – For not being a “legitimate football player” in Sherman’s eyes, Sammy the Bull sure looks like one. The boy’s got vision, and he picks up the instincts fast enough. Once again, throw-short-of-the-sticks doesn’t work as Driver can’t get there. BJ Sander with yet another piss-poor punt, half the team was under it.
9:38 – Student body left, meet defense body right. A reverse would have worked there; thankfully, it wasn’t on. Somebody woke up the crowd as the Jauron-Shoop branch of the throw-short-of-the-sticks offense sputters to a 3-and-out. Field-position advantage, Lions as Chatman fair-catches at the 20.
9:42 – Someone set us up the bomb. Driver get signal. Henderson does a low hurdle on a screen, and even a major face-mask can’t bring him down. Student body right so successful that Vonte Leach doesn’t have anybody to block until he’s 20 yards downfield. Student body left, on the other hand, is unsuccessful as we end the 3rd quarter Good Guys down 3 and driving.
