I’ve been hearing a lot about the Packers and their status as odds darling in the NFC this year. During the Indy preseason game I heard “Superbowl preview.”

I’ve also heard “Favorite to win the NFC.”

I’ve also heard “I thought you said you had a condom on!!!!!” But that was a completely different conversation.

Lemme just say this: Slow down, football prognostibaters. I know that part of the media’s job is to manufacture drama when there isn’t any (which is why Brett Favre is a five-time Daytime Emmy winner), and making predictions of anything other than Mr. T’s one of “pain,” is just nonsense. Pants-dropping, tissue-gobbing nonsense.

Makes me wonder if the Green Bay Packer Bikini Girls have been on a cheese curd facial tour of Big Media to try to win over the hearts and, uh, other stuff of the sports reporters. (Girls? Free tip: Skip Jay Mariotti. He likes the boys.)
