Once again, Favre costs the Packers. He had plenty of company (Thurman, Gado, R. Lee, KGB, Carroll, Roman, Bates for continuing to trust KGB on running plays, the special teams as a whole, the GM team nightmare of Thompson and Sherman for dredging up the horrid players on the roster, and the MASH unit they’re running). Now that we’re both officially eliminated from the NFC North and guaranteed a losing record, it’s time to clean house. Heck, with Houston winning, we might be in the running for the Reggie Bush sweepstakes again.
Meanwhile, the Deadfins shock the world by dismantling the Raiders 33-21, and I go to 8-4-1 on the week (and 8-3-1 on my Vegas picks), pending the results of the Giants/Seahawks game.
Revisions/extensions – Make that 9-4-1 on the week, 9-3-1 on the Vegas picks and 10-4 straight-up as the G-men can’t nail 3 field-goal attempts to win (2 in OT), and the ‘Hags pull it out in OT 24-21 (sadly, I had the Giants straight-up).
The highlights were sheer torture. Don’t know how you made it through the game. “Hope springs eternal” and all that.
Labatt Maximum Ice (impossible to get in the States, but at 7.1% alcohol, it goes much further than Leinie’s). Don’t forget Wild Turkey 101 (again, more alcohol than your usual whiskey).
Boilermakers… or you could just hit yourself on the forehead until the pain goes away or you pass out. Much cheaper.
So… ya gonna help me force the resurrection of the Packalope? It’s our only hope.
Let’s see; where’s that petition?
Oh, I’ve already tried bludgeoning my head to release the pain; my temples are the size and shape of my fists.
Glad to see your picking’s picking up. Congratulations!
No reason to keep Sherman; none at all. Mariucci’s available, and a good D-coach, plus about 30 or so free agents–next year in Jerusalem!!!
