I'm torn because it's such a corner stone of nutcan tradition, but would anyone be terribly upset, or even notice, if I didn't bother recreating these in the next nutcan revision. (That is to say I'd still show the comments that are already made. Although, if I do that most of the work is done, since actually prompting for the text is the "easy" part. Hmm.)

I can't believe what's going on. 1) First Sarah calls Peyton Manning "Payton"**** and now she uses the incorrect version of their/they're/there And I'm sorry to put such a spotlight on a mistake that everyone makes, but it just seems so out of character. Is someone hacking her account? Plus, I'm pretty sure Sarah would shame any of the rest of us if we ever made such errors. (I love you Sarah, don't hate me.) 2) What's all this talk about not doing game comments? I don't care if no one reads them. We're doing them. I'll grant you that some of the games are difficult to write about every now and then, but if you can't think of 4 semi-original thoughts per week that are vaguely football related, then maybe we should all get outside more or get a new hobby, because our brains should be capable of such an exercise. And as for their usefulness and whether people read them or not, I say this: If they don't read them, it's their loss. There's good information in there. Jeremy already predicted Rodgers' first three interceptions, and I was on the right track when I said the Chargers were gonna intercept Favre for three touchdowns, and those examples are just off the top of my head. (As for lateness of picks and comments, I can't speak for the rest of you, but I do picks and comments on Friday/Saturday. That's just my thing. Sometimes Thursday if I feel like it and sometimes in the middle of the night before the games if I was out of town and/or sick like I've been the last two days. I'm not against people getting them done days in advance but I don't think it's necessary since it's not something people need to ruminate on -- the comments serve roughly the same purpose on Tuesday as they do just before kickoff. Though I guess they could spark discussions, but that has it's pros and cons too, since it always devolves into a Favre-based feud anyway. I guess, in general, I think we should aim to have them in at least 24 hours before gametime, just for good measure.) ****EDIT (10/13/2008): Sarah did not make the "Payton" mistake. Jon screwed this fact up and begs for forgiveness from Sarah for maligning her character.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

THe Vikings did not deserve to win and got real lucky. There was a contraversial fumble call earlier on that went the Vikings way as well. Childress really sucks. How about doing something creative with the offense, they basically only had one big offensive play all game. Extremly lucky to be 3-3.		Rate this comment Yours: Rated 0 times.

"Green Bay’s offense was hardly anything to brag about, but Rodgers was efficient and moved the team in pivotal third- and fourth-quarter drives in which it took control, scoring 17 straight points in the win over the Seattle Seahawks. It was a must-win for the Packers, and Rodgers came through when necessary. His 14 total touchdowns (11 passing and three rushing) in six games are beyond everyone’s expectations this season." "Javon Walker (five catches for 59 yards this season) is looking like one of the worst free agent signings in history.
