Firecop, I'm here.....I had to take a couple days to soak it all in. My hats off to the Giants, they were certainly the better team THAT day, which is all that matters. The Packers' two biggest veterans, Favre and Harris, both sucked big-time and McCarthy's play-calling was horrendous. Any given Sunday, baby. Go Giants!!! Boy, the Brewers AND the Packers choking in the same year! Arrrgghh!!!!!!!!!
What's a coach really worth? The knee-jerk perception isn't kind to Oxford. We live in a state that under funds important items, that ranks in the bottom percentile of most U.S. social and educational categories, and yet Oxford High School's football coach is being paid $105,000 a year. No prep football coach in Alabama makes more.

But he isn't any other player. He's the quarterback, the one player every win or loss is going to be focused on, whether it's warranted or not. It just seems Romo is still a bit immature and too determined to prove to people he'll do whatever he wants to do, regardless of what anyone thinks (especially the media). I fully expect he wants to win badly, but at this point I think he's caught up in being a big-name celebrity, whether he's dating Carrie Underwood or Jessica Simpson. Making the choice to stay home, rest up, and at least give everyone paying attention (which is obviously a great many people) the impression he's focusing 100 percent on football, would've probably been a better choice for a guy who's final portion of the season sucked. - dyams You're pretty tough on a guy whose only played what, 27 combined NFL games? The kid's plain got it....give him time already. Everybody wants it right away, and you certainly are no exception. You think the '07 'Boys are the only team to almost get there? As a PackFan whose team has arguably the most upside for the foreseeable future, I'm pretty sure the Cowboys will be right up there with the Pack for awhile in the NFC until the next cycle. But you gotta enjoy the ride... (your welcome rcade :) )

I think SD vs. GB for the SB is good, but it would be a home game for the Chargers. (Joe188) Maybe in Bizarro world it is. Packer Nation travels like no other, they also spend the coin to do it. everyone (like lefty)dismissing the Giants in favor of the Packers! (firecop) The G-Men have virtually no shot... playing home games in Lambau guarantees you NOTHING! (rcade) You just keep telling yourself that... much like watching Joe Buck call a Yankees playoff game. (firecop) ah, whattttt???

I was at Lambeau Field on Saturday, I'll be there next Sunday, too. All you football fans who want the sporting experience of a lifetime, call H.R., take next Monday off, and open up your wallet and plunk down some serious cash and get to Lambeau Field for the NFC Championship game. In a year or two, you won't miss the money, but you'll have a sports memory hard to duplicate or exceed......guaranteed! And since the Pack will be favored (and should win) you will feel energy in a stadium like you've never felt before! From the Frozen Tundra to the Arizona Desert!!!
Packers go to title game, crunch Seahawks Packers win in the snow, hammering the Seahawks with a powerful rushing attack. Final score: 42-20

Joe Gibbs Resigns as Washington's Coach After four years in which his teams went 31-36, Joe Gibbs surprised Washington's players and coaching staff by resigning for the second time from the team. The Hall of Fame coach, winner of three Super Bowls in 12 years the first time around, had an arduous year after the diagnosis of a grandson with leukemia and the murder of player Sean Taylor.

And by the way, I was at the last playoff game when the 'Hawks visited, and I (along with 70,000 other fans) heard our old teammate say verbatim "We want the ball and we're going to score!" Can't blame him for that. Youthful exuberance, just having fun and being "in the moment". I understand a lot of people never actually played sports, especially at a high level. So I hope that comment, while comical, isn't a big issue this week. Matt's a good kid and I wish him luck. He surely didn't mean anything, like over-confidence, by it. Remember when you ended up playing in college against your old high school buds? Or in high school against your old Little League buds? Same thing. Good luck Seahawk fans. You're gonna need it. You are overmatched in this one. But, that's why they play the games.....

Bill Belichick named AP Coach Of The Year and deservedly so coaching his team to 16-0 so far.

I guess the Apocolypse is truly upon us. What a sad commentary on the state of society when someone who cheats garners such an award. Mike McCarthy of the Packers surely deserved the award. Let's see: the youngest team in the NFL, no running game for half the season, a H.O.F. QB who McCarthy was successful in reigning in, and posting a 13-3 record after going 8-8 the previous year to which NObody thought they would even be in the mix. I guess Belicheat even intimidates the writers. What a crock! Spin it any way you want to Pats fans, but the bottom line is he cheated, plain and simple. I guess if he were black (which I'm not) he'd be strung up like Barry Bonds, huh? DISGRACEFUL ! ! !
Mitchell report is Out 50 to 80 names to be released. Clemens, Pettitte, Tejada to name a few.
