One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.
Apropos of that, Rodgers is getting mega coverage about his blocking being the reason he saw more snaps Sunday.

Also, #Packers TE Richard Rodgers makes strides in his blocking, Mulumba update and 2013 7th-rounders get their shot http://pck.rs/1tH2m8s
This despite his error (McGinn dinged his for partial responsibility) getting Rodgers sacked and two bad run blocks. Actually Bob said the most promising block throw by a TE was by Bostick in limited action.

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

But go back and watch that play where Starks picked up the 3rd and 10 on the last drive. Rodgers wiped out the DE...turned up-field and shielded off a LB from Starks when he first caught the ball...then got in the way of another LB or DB to give Starks a chance to pick up the 10 yards. Without Rodgers, that play doesn't get the 1st down.
TE is a far different position in the NFL than it is in college. Rodgers has the smarts to be an effective blocker...but it will take some time for him to get there. To me, he's looking better each week...but he's still below average at this point.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
