The only reason why the “almost” is there is because the Lombardi Trophy isn’t home yet, but as ESPN’s Kevin Seifert points out (H/T – Kevin), it was the guys, and especially the role players, Ted Thompson brought in that got the Pack this far. I think I lost track of how many times I “borrowed” Mr. Fastbucks’ “Shields UP!” Tweet because Sam Shields’ play allowed Charles Woodson to play the “roving safety” role much like he did before Al Harris got hurt a couple seasons back. All the “role players” Thompson stockpiled came in very handy, as I think this is the first MASH Unit to make The Championship Game That Cannot Be Named™.
I have but three words to say on the way to the Baker’s Dozen vs. Seventh Heaven game…
GO PACK GO!!!
Oh sure, what’s next? Is Terry Bradshaw going to pick the Packers? (Not with Pittsburgh in the hunt)
If Terry were honest, yes. Of course, he wouldn’t be much of a Steeler if he had to be honest about who would win.
Coincidentally, I don’t expect many Bears fans to be rooting for the Pack.
