Don’t call it a comeback! I’ve been here for years. Rockin’ my peers and puttin’ suckas in fear. -LL Cool J
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Everybody’s been yammering about those New England Patriots. Everybody’s been jammering about those Indianapolis Colts. Everybody’s been clamoring about those Dallas Cowboys. What about these Green Bay Packers?
Go, you fighting fools upset ‘em. Smash their line with all your might. A touchdown, Packers, fight, fight, fight, fight! The Packers have been fighting. Have been exciting. Filling the fans at the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field with delighting. Delighting the fans with a 7-1 record. Delighting fans atop the NFC North. On top of the world looking down on creation. So where’s the love? Father Father Father help us. Send some guidance from above. Cause people got me got me questioning. Where is the love?
Where is the love for Ted Stroehmann’s boy. What about Brett Fav… ruh? The toughest summamabitch to ever strap on a helmet. Brett Favre, 38. Brett Favre playing like he did during his heydays. His Say Hey Willie Mays days. Brett Favre is having an MVP-like season.
Just this Sunday, Favre threw for 360 yards. Just this Sunday, Favre threw for two TDs. Just this Sunday, Favre threw the go-ahead 60-yard bomb to Greg Jennings with 3:05 left in the game. Just like he threw the game winning 82-yard bomb to Greg Jennings in OT two weeks ago. What’s not to love? Just because their elder statesman Favre is 38, don’t think for one minute this is George Allen’s Over the Hill Gang incarnate. Far from it.
These Green Bay Packers are the youngest team in the National Football League. They don’t play like it. Linebacker AJ Hawk is just nasty against the run. His third-quarter interception Sunday set up a touchdown. Aaron Kampman is the NFL’s leading sack man since 2006. He may not do a Lights Out Dance. He may not have a giant robot likeness prowling around London. Danger Will Robinson! But he may just be the best defensive end in all of football. The Packers may not have the best running game around. No three yards and a cloud of dust here. But what they lack on the ground, they more than make up for in the air. Last week, when the defense went through a rough patch in the fourth quarter. A tough patch in the fourth quarter. An HR Pufnstuf patch in the fourth quarter. When that happened, Donald Driver and Greg Jennings picked up the slack with long receptions. So while there is absolutely no doubt that geriatric Favre and his laser rocket arm remain deadly, the story doesn’t stop there. The story ends with the entire Packer team putting somebody in the wall.
