My Official Green Bay Packers blog

First, you have to watch the video below:

I applaud John Clayton in his courageous battle with comprehension. When you watch Clayton, you know you’re watching a guy who’s never played the game outside of Madden. In fact, in high school you know he was probably taped to the locker room showers, if for no other reason than the spit he lets fly when he’s talking. But you cut him a break because the guy looks so damn nerdy that you figure he has to be really good at his job, otherwise they wouldn’t have hired him. Yes you do. Why else would they give a guy with no shoulders, a 13″ neck and a nearly falsetto voice a job interviewing and reporting on some of the hardest guys on the planet?

So it was as much a surprise to me as I’m sure it was to you when John seemed to not grasp the moves available and likely for each side of this drama. Favre reportedly texted Ted Thompson telling him he wanted to come back (again, is Favre a 12 yr old girl or a dude? Place a call!), and Thompson’s reply was “I’m On Vacay, Bro.” Does that sound like a move by someone who thinks that Favre is bigger than the Packers and must crumble to Favre’s will and whimsy? And then Favre would just be sitting outside Lambeau with nowhere to go if the Packers didn’t take him back? Dude, you should read your coworker’s articles, specifically Chris Mortenson. He’ll lay it all out for you in a way you’ll understand. If Favre requests to be reinstated in writing, either the Packers take him back or they lose all rights to him. And then game on for the Brett Favre Lottery.

Of course the Packers will take him back. And it’s being reported that Favre will be given the backup QB role (better than I predicted, but at least I was closer to the mark than the guy who got paid for his insights on the matter), but that’s just for show, as Favre would certainly decline that offer unless it included a promise to get him the eff out of Green Bay. Then it’s the Packers choice where Favre will end up. Again, game on in the Brett Favre Lottery. Except this time, the Packers are holding every ticket.

So I wish you a speedy trip back to lucidity, John Clayton. There’s this great website where I get a lot of quality sports info you really oughta try. It might help you with the healing. It’s called espn.com.

Just five days before I proclaimed the ‘07 Randy Moss Watch over, Randy Moss was allegedly in a Florida woman’s home, doing some prep work for the game against the Florida-based Jaguars by beating her up.

Part of her statement claims Moss has “a drug or alcohol problem.” Really? From the guy that was on TV telling people he liked smoking weed? Shocking.

Moss is hoping people won’t rush to judgment, that the woman is allegedly an extortionist looking to collect a check with five zeros.

Whatever.

Have you seen pictures of Randy Moss? Dude is ugly. You know that about the only way a woman is getting with him is if she thinks she has a shot at his cash.

Ever talked to a stripper about her plans for the future? It almost always includes using those dollar bills you just gave her for tuition to an ivy league school. Randy might be well served by having the same skepticism for nice things said to him by women. All women.

Should I reinstate the Mosswatch? Nah. I’ve got more fun things to occupy my time lately. Like deciding whether to buy the extra chunky or super chunky salsa for this weekend’s game.  But if the media hounds Moss for the next three weeks, giving him little sleep and driving a wedge into the Patriot locker room, I’m good with that.

I’ve been thinking about Ron Jaworski lately.

It’s no man crush. And I don’t get a snicker out of seeing a guy with the nickname “Jaws” having the cheeks of a chipmunk. I think Ron Jaworski might be a prophet. You see, about two-thirds of the way into the 2007 NFL season, all the NFL talking heads were bouncing only one question between them: Who could beat the New England Patriots?

Ron Jaworski had one answer: The Green Bay Packers.

His reasoning is a little hazy now, but it had something to do Favre’s ability to dink and dunk, his bursting stable of wide receiver talent and New England’s inability to adequately defend the short pass game. If memory serves, the Giants and Jaguars both had recent success with this kind of offense against the Patriots, and both don’t have nearly the wideout talent nor the quarterback that Green Bay has. And something about Randy Moss not liking getting chucked at the line of scrimmage and that being how Charles Woodson and Al Harris make their living, sitting you down 1.7 yards into your route.

At the time I was thinking “That’s nice. If the Patriots and Packers meet in the Superbowl, the Packers have the best chance at beating this unbelievable team. And, if I’m ever faced with the prospect of a menage a trois (the good kind), scoring some Viagra just before could make it a night for the record books.”

I was pretty sure both of those pieces of information were worthless.

Here’s to hoping for two wrongs being right.
