Dang Right, And Don't You Forget It!

So much for the ballyhooed Chiefs 3-peat. With the referees calling a (largely) square contest, KC was trampled by the Eagles, with most of the Chiefs' points coming in garbage time. 

To those who claim this is proof the referees didn't help KC win this year, I say, uh, what now? It proves nothing, but it certainly lends credence to the claims that they were helped by the zebras each week. 

I don't think the NFL is scripted, or that the refs are on the take. I do, however, think that any play that would be 50-50 to warrant a flag for anyone else will earn KC a first down, and that any call that is questionable would fall in the Chiefs favor. 

They are (were?) the face of the league, and as such, were pampered. 

Regardless, they were pummeled when it counts, marking two such lopsided losses in Mahome's brief but fantastic tenure. 

Will they be back to the Super Bowl again before he retires? I think that's a bet I'd take, 

Aaron Rodgers is Traded to the Jets

Anyone who is ungrateful for the two decades of greatness Aaron Rodgers gave the Packers, anyone who wishes ill of his future playing career, anyone who has turned their back on him, is a FOOL.

I know, I'm a hypocrite. I ripped Favre, and although, to be fair, his parting was more acrimonious, I now concede it was immature of me. I so very much wanted Aaron to succeed that I felt I *also* had to bash his predecessor. 

Brett, I apologize - but not for whatever I said while you were a Viking. That was just wrong of you. 

Good luck Aaron! You'll be missed!

The End

That was a listless,  lousy way to end an emotional roller coaster of a season. 

Sigh. 

Road Trip

I accompanied Lisa on a trip to check in on the status of some foreign exchange students that are part of the company Dem and Rebeca travel with; it was a relaxing time with my lady (even if the Packers chocked against the Giants in London, a game I listened to en route)

On Online Packers "fans"

Packers fans - the online version - are embarrassingly naive in general and ignorant of the game and the business behind it. Not to mention they write like they were held back 3x in second grade. You are, in part, representing me when you speak, so, ummmm - DON'T.

 thinking about the time Donald Driver came through Mitchell airport (where i worked at the time) and i had no idea who he was but still asked for an autograph - YaYa

The NFL reallllly doesn't want KC to miss the playoffs.

Ruh Oh!

MVP

 Congrats!

Ted Thompson

RIP Ted Thompson,  architect of a Packers ring and the man who drafted Aaron Rodgers.

Yup

Sorry whiners. The ref got it right

Forrest Gregg

 

He was one of Vince Lombardi's favorite players. He was a first ballot Hall of Famer. He coached the Bengals to a Super Bowl appearance. It's a heck of a resume. But trustfully, what I remember of him are some dim recollections of him being named head coach of the Packers in the 80's, and a press conference where he announced his departure from the same. 

RIP Packer. RIP. 

The Packers have Fired Mike McCarthy!!!

Hot Dog! About dang time
