    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    Spitz was fine! He just wasn't Josh Sitton. He probably wasn't Lang either.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    You lose credibility when trying to make those comparisons IMO

    Spitz should have never been in there. When he was he showed himself to be not ready to play at this point

    I agree. He wasn't ready. But he had the attitude you need. He never gave up even when beaten.

    Marshmallow was the king of getting beat and giving up.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    In other Ex-OL news, Evan Dietrich Smith re-upped with Tampa. His 9th season in the league, he's a swing man now, backing up all interior line positions.

    Are we talking about Jason Spitz, Guard, GBP 2005-2010? Louisville's own?

    Wasn't ready? He started 45 games over four seasons, two with Bert (including a year they SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE SUPERB OWL) and two with Rodgers?

    He got bumped out of the lineup by Sitton after having a back injury?

    Are you the second and third accounts of Retail Guy

    He was never spectacular and could be beaten, but was a more natural Guard than Colledge. The injury robbed him of his toughness. He needed to be replaced and was, though it took an All-Pro to do it. I think your memories of him are tainted by his backup time and exit.

    He was better than any other interior starter/backup they had until Linsley/Tretter.

    Sorry, Spriggs not Spitz.

    OK, now I understand you. You may be misguided, but doubt is understandable about SPRIGGS™

    Bretsky still has to explain who he is talking about.

    By saying Sitton obviously and Lang probably were better than a (healthy) Spitz, I am somehow losing credibility?

    Have you lost all memory of 2005-2010?

    Who is winning versus the battle against the Giants Aces? Spitz ain't falling down!

    " The wrong Target Brett ! " Freak Out.

    Brett needed to use his transitions.

    1.) Pass right ..NO WAY te coverage was over the top too tight.

    2.) Flip the ball to the guy right in front of you for an easy first down, as he catches the soft pass and turns it upfield for Ten Plus.

    3. ) Look center(not bad) ... 4. ) look left (Nope that pass attempt likely gets blocked).

    Take the too easy 2.) Option.

    All of that is easy to analyze in the Film Room. Yet in the heat band under the gun...it gets to mind over matter.

    Favre had 'the Blinders on' and somehow believed his arm would carry the moment. His brain 'on that play' wasn't faster than his strong arm mentality.

    Confusing Spitz with Barbre perhaps? Or Moll? Maybe even Coston?

    Spitz came in with Colledge, and was clearly the more NFL ready of the two, and until he was hurt, Spitz was better and more consistent than Colledge. The Packers always wanted Spitz at center, but couldn't do it his first few years because he was their best guard.
