It's the one where giant men in tights grab each other over a ball, and pull each other to the ground. Some celebrate those takedowns. Grown men cry. IT. IS. MANLY.

Speaking of which:

The only reason why Aaron Rodgers didn't win a Super Bowl sooner was because Favre refused to retire.

Amen. I have no idea what Favre thought he was doing. I know the guy is an asshole, but he doesn't have to keep reminding us.

What Favre really said:

I'm going to be quite honest, I was not surprised. The biggest surprise to me would be that he didn't do it sooner. Because it's funny how people forget over time, my last year in Green Bay prior to the first game, really at the start of training camp, I made the remark that this was probably the most talented team I've ever played on. And of course everyone kinda looked up and [was] like, 'You know, this guy's off his rocker.' We were very, very young, aside from me. You take me out of the mix and we were by far the youngest team in the league. But I could see the talent pool across the board was outstanding. Now, our season kind of ended up being a reflection of that. We came close, and I think we took a lot of people by surprise, but we were — you know, guys emerged rather quickly. Aaron had a chance, you know, even though the last couple years it's seemed like he's almost a rookie, he's been around for a while. And I'd like to think that, you know, he watched, he learned, and then when he got a chance to play, he brought in his, you know, his ability which obviously is very good or they wouldn't have drafted him in the first round. He's got tremendous talent, he's very bright, and he got a chance to sit and watch and he saw a successful team do it right. And so he just kind of fell into a good situation. On top of that, he's a good player. I don't think anyone would question now the talent around him is even better than when I was there. So I'm really surprised that it just kind of took him so long. And really, the early part of last year season, again it's surprising to me 'cause I'm like, you know, it just hadn't quite — it hadn't clicked yet and I didn't know if it would. Last year, I just figured when they hit their stride, they're going to be hard to beat. And that's what happened.

I don't think Favre was hammering him at all. I think it's been blown out of proportion by the media.

Oh god... I love google reader more every day. It gave me this gem I'd NEVER have seen otherwise.

GEORGIA TECH STUDENTS CANNOT HIDE FROM PAUL JOHNSON

from EDSBS by Spencer Hall



A dorm room on the Georgia Tech Campus. A knock at the door. Scott, a student, answers the door.

Paul Johnson: Son, you're gonna need to show up for the game Saturday.

Scott: Who are you?

PJ: Your football coach. That's my name. You're...[checks name list...] Arash Patel?

Scott: He's next door, and is Indian.

PJ: Well, you know what happens when you assume.You make an "ass" out of you, and leave me out of this because your being an ass ain't my problem. Sit down. Gonna tell you a story about my Daddy.

Scott: [sits]

PJ: He nailed my hand to a stump in the woods and left me there with a knife, some flint, and a fox skull on a cold February morning when I was eight. 20 degrees. Fifty miles from my house.

Scott: Oh god. What did you do?

PJ: It's a long story, but i came home four days later in a stretch Lincoln with whitewalls, $700 in my pocket, a scar on my cheek, and the prettiest whore in town on my arm.

Scott; I'm sorry, but I'm very busy, and as an architecture major you can't imagine my schedule. Also, I'm not a big football fan. I'd like to help, but--

PJ: My daddy slapped the cigarette out of my mouth that day, son. He picked it up and threw it in the backseat of that car, and as I watched it burn he said, "Now you know what life's about, son." That whore later became the first female orthodontist in North Carolina. Amazing things happen when you embrace challenge, son.

Scott: I really wish I could make it.

PJ: And I don't care. I don't care about you, Scott. The world doesn't care about you, either. I'd play football in front of empty bleachers and the bare sky, Scott. I would be fine with that. I coached in Valdosta. I KNOW what nothing looks like.

Scott: I could call security.

PJ: And I could drink this flask of kerosene in my pocket, Scott, but I ain't got a sore throat this week.

Scott: What?

PJ: Scott, I gotta pull your faces away from the Atari to get you into the damn stands because my players are weak and need other humans to watch them play football. So you're gonna be there, Scott. You're gonna be there because my players need noise and even if you have to fake it, Arash--

Scott: --Scott, sir--

PJ: --I don't care, Brad, you're gonna be there. And if you aren't, I promise you, you will wake up with your hand nailed to a stump in the woods on a cold winter's morning. Either way you'll thank me.

Scott: You're scaring me, Coach.

PJ: I don't care. I really don't. See you Saturday. That's not a farewell, that's an order.

Johnson leaves. Scott returns, shaken, to his enormous triple monitor display in the corner of the room.

Scott: Okay, where was I...well, I guess I have a little time for Minecraft.



Scott: Hmm. That's odd...I didn't build anything there...

Zooms in. Zooms in again.

Scott; Oh god.



PJ: JUST CHECKING IN TO SEE HOW THAT ARCHITECTURE PROJECT IS GOING, SON. REALLY GONNA NEED YOU ON SATURDAY. STUMPS. NAILS. MANHOOD. WHORES WHO BECOME ORTHODONTISTS.

Scott: AAAIIIGGHHHHH---

[snorts five ritalin]
[finishes architecture project in 17 hours straight]
[attends every remaining home game shirtless covered in chicken blood and gold glitter]

Ah. So ESPN, then? Or is someone else claiming that now?

Yes, I know about the whole dumbass Hitler thing.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer organization (their term, not mine).

Thanksgiving could be fun this year.

I'd be excited about the Pack stomping all over St. Louis, but beating up on a team with no wins when you are undefeated really isn't something to get excited about. (yeah, there are 7 minutes left in the 4th, but the outcome is pretty obvious).

Classic Brady at the end there.

Classic Cowboys. Instead of actually running a real offense, they played it safe and ran it three times. (Because if they throw it Romo will be picked off.) Then they punt and give it back to TOM FUCKING BRADY with 3 times out and almost 3 minutes?!? Fuck, man! The defense played its heart out and the pussy calling of the offense gave away the game.

Can we all let "Handshake Gate" (stupid fucking name) just die already? They were both being asses at the end of the game. Let's move on.

Sounded like one said he was upset and the other said he was a little too excited and said he was sorry. This is a scandal?

According to the media, yes. I'm trying to read a little bit about the 49ers and I'm tired of having to wade through this nonsense.

If the NFL was the BCS, the Packers would be ranked #10 in the current standings due to the weaker schedule.

Awwwww yeah...G-MEN!!! Great game to be at, what with my undying hatred of the Bills. Circle those Wagons now, you fuckers!

I just peeked: Sagarin rated the Packers' strength-of-schedule at 26th overall in the NFL. I suspect we'd get a lot of first place votes in the Coaches' poll, though. ;)

Easily our best game since the opener. Huge test next week though against the Jets. Gotta hope bad Sanchez comes to play. Hopefully Revis won't be a huge issue since he can only cover one player and if you shut one guy down, we have 4 other weapons we can throw at you.
