Jennings did have catches of 85 and 89 yards. That would be enough for me to bump a rookie ahead of a guy who still plays like a rookie. If I were the guy who got bumped though, I'd be upset. I wonder what kind of competitor Ferguson actually is.		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 2 times.

He went on to say more, but I couldn't paste all of it at once for some reason. Clearly the webmaster needs to take a look at that. He said he thought he played well so he was surprised by it. He "loves" Jennings "to death" and "if it were anyone else...". Packers coaches just thought Jennings had a preseason you couldn't ignore.		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 2 times.

Greg Jennings had a pro-bowl caliber preseason. Although there is probably a pretty huge list of unknown's who have had great preseasons. And when I say probowl, I mean he had a couple good catches. He also dropped a few passes, but the game in which he did pretty much everyone was dropping passes. Anyway, he'll have a great year, hold out next season, break his knee in the first game, and get traded to the cardinals during next year's draft. ps, Jon, if you are coming to Navs tonight, bring the bobblehead, and I'll bring a check for softball.

Sarah, would you still cheer for Favre if he was playing for, say, the Jets, or Rams, or Chiefs? Just curious, because Favre said he wouldn't rule out playing for another team if the opportunity presented itself.		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 3 times.

I don't know. I mean obviously, he's given a lot to us, but he also said he'd never leave us and I can't really picture him going anywhere else. He has said over and over again that he wouldn't go any place else and then he keeps talking about whether or not he'll retire each year. I think I'd be pretty pissed if he would go to another team. It just wouldn't be right.		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 5 times.

It's kind of like sending your kid off to college. You know their just going to rot away if they stay at home (analogous of the current situation in GB), and sending them off to college, while bittersweet, you know they can become a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher and make something of their life (analogous of Favre going to a potential super bowl team). I think if it ever came to pass, I will cheer for Favre the way I cheer for every player who has played in Wisconsin for a significant time and then gone somewhere else. Basically, I hope Favre plays as long as he still wants to play. If that is somewhere other than Green Bay, so be it. I respect the decision of Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, Emmett Smith, Michael Jordan, Reggie Jackson, etc. Peace.		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 3 times.

There would have to be another team willing to take him. Those other guys you listed had something left in the tank. I know this will just sound like me "taking a shot" at Favre but I honestly felt like many positives from last year were DESPITE Favre's efforts rather than because of them. The Bengals game is a perfect example. Brett throws 5 picks yet the rest of the team hangs around with a team that was amongst football's best last year. They give him one last shot at redemption and he pulls a stunt that made you question if he even knew he was playing at the time.		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 1 times.

Michael Jordan? He had nothing in the tank when he played for the Wizards. He even went 0-20 in one game from the field. And Jerry Rice finally got cut by the Broncos. But the thing is, I have no problem with that. I see nothing wrong with a player retiring because he got cut. And I think given some better talent, Favre can still play at a pretty good level.

I meant more when Jerry Rice officially left the 49ers and when Jordan left the Bulls they had something left. Not after they then proceeded to hang around 10 seasons after that point.		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 1 times.

I'm so far behind here... 1st of all Ferguson would have no basis for complaining if I moved ahead of him on the depth chart. He's lucky just to be on the roster and I think he knows it. Players have no allegience to teams anymore and teams have no allegience to players, therefore I reserve the right to cheer for players and teams when and if I feel like it. I've always thought that one should cheer for the home team unless given a significant reason not to, so you can pretty much mark me down as a fan of any Wisconsin team since I've to this point lived my entire life in the state. As long as Favre doesn't pull a TO to get off of the Packers I would probably still root for him. Along those lines, I feel it necessary after Scott's comment to mention that there are certain lines that can't be crossed without consequences. Meaning that such traitors as Sharper are instantly dead to me when they go over to the dark side. Favre had a terrible 1st half of the season, then he started to play better and everything else got worse. Anyway, new season tomorrow, time to stop living in the past.

I think the context of Favre saying that he could play for another team was if the Packers and he came to an understanding that the team wanted to go in another direction and that Favre would have to go elsewhere if he still wants to play. Like if Brad Johnson got hurt after this season and the Vikings needed a QB to put them over the top, Favre could go there and play:)		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 3 times.

despite his yards, Culpepper looked pretty bad last night. He almost throw an INT in the endzone when Chris Chambers was hardly even being covered. Very "Favre-esque":)		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 1 times.

Yeah, he didn't look great. I suspect on the play you're talking about he expected Chambers to go out and up rather than just out. He threw the ball before Chambers "broke away."		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 3 times.

I suspect Chambers ran the right route. You can't run a deep out-post pattern from the 4 yard line. Has Culpepper always thrown sidearm? Well, I'm off to see if Charlie Batch is still available in our league...		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

That was horrific. This could be the longest football season in the history of football. I mean good lord, we couldn't stop Rex Grossman, let along give him a season-ending injury. What gives? Our cornerbacks looked pathetic. Bright side: Ahman Green seemed to get 10 yards every time he touched the ball. (or something like that)		Rate this comment Yours: Total: Rated 1 times.

I happened to be on the east side of Wisconsin on Sunday. I was just around Appleton at about 12:15 or 12:30 when all of the sudden we hear sirens. My friend, the driver, pulls over and we let the cops go by. But what the police were actually doing was escorting a bunch of coach buses. In the middle of the line of six or so buses was a black SUV with a Bears logo plastered on the back. We wondered if it could have been the team making their way to Lambeau. I assume that if it was, it was because they were staying near Appleton rather than in Green Bay. Anyway, ,that was kind of exciting for some reason. As we drove west, we listened to a lot of football stuff and a lot of it was Packers stuff. At one point, some station played Bohoemian Rhapsody then followed it up with a Packerized version of that same song. My friend Michael correctly pointed out that it was made prior to their Super Bowl defeat season because they were talking about repeating and all that. Despite the fact that it was really lame, it was actually done pretty well and the tune is so familiar I didn't mind listening to it. The next song was Pearl Jam's Better Man. I joked after it finished that maybe there was a Packer version coming up right after that. Then I realized that it would probably work if they made a song like that about their quarterback. My other thoughts about what I heard on the radio. People make all sorts of ridiculous statements. I heard one guy say the Bears didn't have any receivers. Now, they might not be a great corp, but Muhsin Muhammad is a pretty good receiver. They found that out though. Also, one guy commented on how he doesn't see any way the Bears don't win the north division. Really? It's just done before the season even starts? I wouldn't give that big a statement about any division before a single week has been finished. Certainly not one where the defending champs got about 100 yards of offense a game last season.

Minnesota and Green Bay are at 11 and 26 Defensively as well as 15 and 21 respectively offensively. Which begs the question how ESPN even has an argument to put the Packers below the Raiders in those rankings. The Packers racked up 267 yards on a defense said members of ESPN can't stop pontificating about and the Raiders got 121 yards, which is a slightly above average day for one runningback. In fact Ahman Green had 110 against those Bears. The Packers looked bad, but at least there was some evidence they knew what a football was. The Raiders were just flat out pathetic.
