    As reliable as he was, Edgar never failed to get tripped up by a ankle or foot grab by the last possible would-be tackler.

    Mainly I think Bob is remembering Edgar (I assume he is as I haven't read it but am relying on the use of the mudder description normally deployed for Bennett) having success versus the Bears in Chicago in the elements.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Or the 1996 (1997) playoff game against the 49ers. Bennett had a very good day, rushing for 2 TD's on a wet field.

    Was that the mud bowl, with the subsequent resod of the middle of the field? Good fun.

    With our present turf that has some synthetic fibers in there I don't see us having another mud bowl again. I heard they are going to put in a new field with those same fibers again this spring.

    They rip out the turf after the last home game of the year. The put in a new field every year. Taking a stadium tour during the summer is fun because there is nothing in Lambeau Field but grass. No field goal posts, no painted lines, no players benches. Just a large lawn inside a stadium.
    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.
