Green Bay, WI
While I was at the Rose Bowl watching the Badgers suck against a bunch of Christians from Texas (except for the big fat drunk who yelled "fuck Wisconsin" as my family and I walked by after the game), apparently our beloveds played a game against the dreaded Bears to secure a playoff spot. I didn't see the game, and I still haven't watched the replay, but I know you, my loyal, non-paying minions, expect at least something from the PA site.
So now that I've caught back up with work a bit, peed out all of the remaining alcohol from a 5-day bender, and read a little here and there, here is our ANAL-ysis.
Packers 10, Assholes 3
So the Bears have the #2 seed clinched with the Eagles loss the Tuesday before. And the Falcons lock up the #1 seed and home field throughout by 3:15 Lambeau time. So the Chicago Effers do the wise thing and play their starters the whole game, about get Jay "QB rating of 44.7" Cutler killed, while also improving his confidence with a 2 interception (sounds like it should've been 5 again), zero TD game. Sounds like a solid plan. Now they get to sit for 2 weeks going, "man, we are the worst #2 seed in the history of the world (perhaps universe, though there was also a really shitty Martian unit in 1946 that was a 2)."
I like the strategy. I heard Lovie opened his mouth for the first time during a game all year, and it cost them a 16-yard gain on 3rd and 15; that's the kind of inspirational leadership that can lead a team to a deep run in the playoffs. As much as I would like to see them get hammered by the Saints in their first game (our beloveds will be down in Hotlanta for the rematch with Matty Ice), I'd love to play these pricks for a shot at the Super Bowl. I don't like the thought of having to win in New Orleans against those Saints, much rather freeze outside vs Da Bears, but if we are fortunate enough to win two games, we'll go anywhere (except Detroit) for the third.
Packer ANAL-ysis tidbits (these are little bite sized morsels of goodness and knowledge; yummy good).
I see Aaron Rodgers won the NFC passing title (QB rating) but didn't make the Pro Bowl. That's what's known as a connundrum.
I see Charles Woodson was chosen as a starter for the Pro Bowl. That's what's known as a connundrum.
I see the Packers signed the 55-car for $18 million. That's what's known...he's played well though, and I heard that Nicky the B is really tearing up the Free Agent Mansion in his final days with Justin Harrell and Brady Poppinga.
I see Erik Walden (see drugged out photo above) had like 16 tackles and 3 sacks. I have to watch the replay tonight, because that sounds like a helluva game for a guy who was working at Chuckie Cheese in late October. Must have gotten a hold of some of Matthews' freaky pills (see photo). Good for him, give him $18 million too.
The Packers have approximately 67 guys on the current roster (53 practicing, plus 14 drinking on the IR Party Squad). Johnny Jolly's reinstatement makes 68, plus 10 or so draft picks makes 78. That's not even counting anymore free agents from Austin Peay, Shippensburg, and Wisconsin (Rose Bowl losers). Next year, 2011, is the year for Green Bay. I don't know how they're going to get down to 53 next year, but please feel free to say your goodbyes now to Justin Harrell, Brady Poppinga, Diminutive Nance, Brandon Underwear, Quinn Johnson, Curtis Young, Diyral Briggs, the great one-- Spencer Havner, Anthony Smith, the late Robert Francois, Mark Tauscher, the faulty Atari system, Jason Spitz, Donald Driver, Donald "Sarah" Lee, and perhaps Nicky the B. There, that's 62 or so; still 9 or so too many. It's going to be unbelievably competitive next year, and the schedule doesn't look too bad either. Let's get a little closer this year, win a game or two like the '95 team, then win it all in February 2012. Riveting stuff I know, can't be helped.
In closing, all the girls wanted to say thank you for allowing them to be guest pickers throughout the season (except for one week by Jabba the Hut). So hope you enjoy their photo above, and they hope to see you On the Border.
