I can't remember what year it was, or what team they were playing, but didn't the Falcons go to the Super Bowl one year, beating a team that had some sort of record offensive year, and a kicker who didn't miss a single field goal until the NFC championship game? Someone help me out with this. For once in my life, I'm confused.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

not to change subjects, but Ned Yost should be a candidate for Manager of the year. The Brewers finished with 81 wins this season, marking a 14 game turnaround from the previous year. That is the biggest turnaround in the big leauges this year. I smell progress. Ok, back to football, and the absolutely pathetic NFC North.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

I disagree. 14 game turnaround, not that impressive. And with how long they stuck within making a run at the wild card, they should've been able to put together some sort of streak but they never did. I'm not saying he did a bad job, but I don't think he did that great. Now Maddux for pitching coach of the year, I'd be all for that. Wow, didn't think the wild card races would be this close. Disappointing end for Clev after making a run, looks like Rollins and Philly might fall short too unless the Cubs score a couple quick runs.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

According to the site I looked at, the line was 49rs +3, so they were indeed underdogs in that sense if none other. I don't know what you're going by unless it's records, which is lame. Time to choose teams to root for in the playoffs. I'll take the ChiSox over the Braves. I can't stand the Yankees, and I actually hate the Red Sox more for becoming the Yankees evil twin, and the Angels have a stupid rally monkey. I despise the Astros, because I mean what the hell is an Astro and orange is a dumb color for uniforms (I can't stand Tennessee either consequently), the Padres don't even deserve to be in the playoffs, and I can't root for the Cardinals because Joe Buck is a jerk. So I'll take Chicago as I still favor the AL Central from the Brewers' days there, plus I like to see them do good because it causes Cubs fans pain. And back in the day when the Braves not only made the playoffs every year but the World Series I rooted for them quite a few times and it still seems like a shame that they only won once. Plus Cox should be manager of the year. Who knew the NFC East would be this good?		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Either way, the 49ers got smoked. Yet their defense was still my 3rd highest scoring player. Conversation ended. Maybe if there were more than 1 article written per year and some attention paid to any other sport besides the NFL, you could attract more people. Other than your 'detailed' comments on the picks each week, I'm pretty sure Scott and I have combined for more content then the whole of the Page3 'writers' over the last few months.

And trade it for 2 late first round picks. They need major overhaul on this roster not just one or two pieces. Which is why I don't get why everyone had such a big cow about drafting a QB instead of defensive player this year. Honestly, would even the best defensive player in the entire draft made a difference so far this year? I highly doubt it.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

It's not that they saved money, they just have no salary cap room cause they keep over paying for crappy players. The NFL should put in a new rule that instead of punting, teams automatically chose a punt of 40 yards, plus a 10 yard block in the back penalty, and save everyone the trouble of actually running the play. Play calling = what the ####! Favre on the last play = what the ####!		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

See there's this thing called the salary cap, the packers would spent it of they could. Will 7-9 win the division? Not to pick on Bret since alot of people have said it. Brett Favre is NOT the Green Bay Packers. The amount of people who have argued that the Packers should sell out any future "to give Favre" a 1/2329042304 shot at doing anything this year is staggering.

the packers have lost their last 3 games by a grand total of 6 points. They really aren't playing that badly. It's still a good thing they are in the NFC North. 4 TD, 280+ yards for Favre.

well I didn't mean stop running all together, but by the second and third quarter if you only get 1 yard on first down, running on second down is only setting you up for a 3rd and long and only one chance to make a throw.

The consensus bandwagon pick to win the World Series Astros got off to a good start with a win today. I predict that Smoltz beats Clemens next game though. The NBA is close to proposing a player dress code for all team functions. Business causal is the minimum, jeans not allowed. Comments, opinions? I think it's a bit much since it includes team flights, traveling to and from games, and all public appearances. Some of the owners must also own business casual clothing stores or something. Did anyone watch the Jets game last week? Was Bollinger that bad that Vinny deserves to start this week? I didn't see it so I'm not sure, but I doubt it. Is anyone else annoyed that hockey is back? It will undoubtedly bump some other sports off of ESPN that I might actually want to watch.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

lmao "Before we get to the Week 5 picks, here's my impression of Mike Patrick, Joe Theismann and Paul Maguire announcing my Wednesday night book signing in Chicago, which was scheduled weeks in advance and (incredibly) managed to somehow coincide with Game 2 of the White Sox-Red Sox series, an alarming turn of events on about 1,000 different levels. All right, here we go: Patrick: "Fifth inning, Red Sox leading by two, man on first for Chicago, one out ... WHAT A PERFORMANCE by Bill Simmons at the ESPN Zone right now! Just an INCREDIBLE job handling this line of readers while watching the game! Guys, you CANNOT say enough about him!" Theismann: "Mike, we talked to Jessica Dickerman last night, one of the coordinators for Bill's book tour, and she told us that she has NEVER seen Bill this focused. I mean, HERE'S A GUY who's coming into his own for the Worldwide Leader right now!" Maguire: "And I want you guys to look at something, look at Simmons's right hand! Look at that thing! He's signed like 2,500 books this week, that hand is still going strong! It's like a claw! Let's get a close-up of that hand. LOOK AT THAT THING! I'm tellin' you guys, it's a claw! Watch him sign this book, watch this -- BAM!!!! You see that? Did you see how fast he signed that book? Look at that claw go!" Patrick: "Here's a double-play ball to second, should end the inning ... and it GETS THROUGH Graffanino! Oh, MAN! He missed it! Now the go-ahead run comes to the plate for Chicago! Shades of Bill Buckner! WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS! And look at Bill Simmons. HE ... HAS ... TURNED ... PURPLE!!! What a moment for him right now! And everyone at the ESPN Zone is staring at Bill Simmons in DISBELIEF!" Theismann: "Mike, we talked to Ellie Seifert last night, the head of PR for this tour, and she told us that this was her biggest fear: How Simmons would handle a Red Sox collapse during tonight's signing. I mean, HERE'S A GUY who bleeds for the Red Sox, and you can just tell, he can't believe this is happening right now. He can't believe it!"

Bill Simmons is an idiot. Did you read his picks after that part? (although i do agree he captured them perfectly) He suggested that Favre be traded to the Bears!!!! I mean I konw the Packers suck, but Favre=the Packers. Trade the rest of the team! He makes no sense. I agree with the other article, I think they are sabotaging him. I mean, what gives? Ok, really gotta study!!!		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

I thought it would be cool to develop (and maybe later improve) an algorithm to play against us. It almost beat us last year. That article on the Packers is patently absurd, and it isn't the first time I've heard or read something about it. Why would the Packers beg Favre to come back only to systematically conspire to get him to retire. The problem, if any, is that they sold out all to often to TRY and get ol' QB4 a run and now they are paying the price for it. If Favre wanted to make a run he could take a pay cut. The situation is what it is and both sides knew coming into it what to expect. As far as Rodgers is concerned. He was potentially the #1 pick. He slid to 24th, that's hard to pass up. I challenge someone to point to a player on the board at #24 that would be the difference maker in the long run. One could argue they look long term and trade down for more bodies, but it's hard to argue with what they did, unless to you Brett Favre is more important than the franchise he dons on his helmet. Sadly it seems this is the situation with most packer fans.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

What's there to root for without Favre? He's kept us in the games and he's been with us for so long, helping us get back into greatness. Why would we make him retire as a Bear? That would be ridiculous. He has taken pay cuts in the past. He doesn't even make that much money. Where is all of our money going to?		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Simmons may be an idiot, but he's still hilarious. Also, I think Favre does have a healthy salary. Certainly not outrageous and probably not even undeserved, but large non-the-less. All the Packers money is paying for guys like Hunt, Ferguson is way overpaid, Franks just got his new contract, it's just being sucked up by a bunch of sucky dudes. Green is probably pretty well payed. KGB is probably overpaid. Basically no one is outplaying their contract and most of them are probably under performing. Still, if they can just win a few games... White Sox sweep!!! Bring on the Angels.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

I'll contribute, badgers are up 14-7 against Northwestern, and Brian Calhoun already has 63 rushing yards and 38 recieving yards. He'll be the nations leading rusher after this week.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Twins got rid of Large. Al Newman went to the Diamondbacks, how sad is that as well? What's left of this team? The outfield, some pitchers, and that dang Rivas!		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

Maaaaaaan. You couldn't have prayed for the end of the game to play out any better and then INT on the first play!? About 3/4th of the way through the game something hit me I had to ponder. Why havent the page 3 faithful/well wishers ever gotten together for a Badger game? It makes too much sense to not happen, Madison is a Midway point between Alex, Bret, Scott, and the Staff and home to pretty much anyone else that has been here more than twice. Add to it that it's the only team in any sport at any level that we all root for in common and this needs to happen at some point.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.
