Usually I like my game birds served with gravy over mashed potatoes. The tricky part is removing all the bird shot before you cook ‘em or your teeth will get an unwelcome surprise at mealtime.
For the tasty meal served up on Saturday evening, I have to thank Brett Favre, because I’m pretty sure he was using nothing but slugs and firing head shots all night.
My quick hitters for the game:
1. Remember when I talked about watching Red Wing games? And how you could tell, without knowing the score, who was going to win? The Packers got pimp-slapped with two quick scores after Ryan Grant fumbled twice. Their emotional response was not “Aw, shit. We’re screwed.” It was more like “Oh no you di’int. It’s ON.” It’s a lot of fun watching a team like that.
2. And then, like Clubber Lang was the good guy, we kept telling Seattle “I got a lotta mo for you! Whole lotta mo!
3. And nobody played more like Clubber Lang (in the first fight) than Ryan Grant. After dribbling two on the ground he ran for over 200 yards.
4. Is it just me, or does Brandon Jackson stuff his pants with nitrous oxide? You know, the stuff in a tank that’s usually found in a trunk, like The Fast and The Furious? Push a button and Zooom? I saw it in the Oakland game and again this weekend - that guy gets to the corner before you and it doesn’t matter how close you are. He’s gonna to blow by you.
5. John Kuhn is a kung fu fire plug. He blocked guys from either side at the Seahawk goal line to give Grant an opening wide enough to squeak through to score.
6. Watch this video, and pretend all the scarers are people yelling the name “Atari Bigby,” and all the scarees are Seahawk wideouts.
7. The Packers are in full stride, and now fate has laid the NFC Championship in the lap of Lambeau. Tiki? We’re coming for your boys.
