I was reading the AP's story on the game today and the story mentioned that Green's 70 yeard touchdown run was the longest of his career. I'm pretty sure that Green scored a 90+ yard run a couple of years back against the Broncos. Somebody help me out so I don't have to look it up.

I thought there was one that was like 99 yards as well and was a NFL record. I dont recall exactly. Maybe those were receptions and/or playoff games

Perhaps they meant longest of the season?

no, i'm positive it said longest td run of his career. and on a related note this was in the JS's game story
The same probably could be said for Green, who finished with 118 yards in 18 carries. The last time that he had a carry for more than 35 yards was Week 7 in 2004, or 18 games ago. His last 100-yard performance was Week 9 of '04.

or it was in week 1 of 2006 against the bears. nice to see our local journalists high regard for accuracy.

I'm not doubting what you said. Actually your follow-up was my point. They haven't been the most accurate lately. For further observations on this topic please see Patler's thread on Lori Nickel's article.

THAT 99 yarder was the game they blew Denver out and Minnesota lost the game at the last second to put the pack in the playoffs.
That was a rollercoaster day of emotions i tell ya.

From the very same article:
"The Packers (2-4), who won for the first time in Miami, were 5½-point underdogs even against a Dolphins team that slipped to 1-6. "
In fact, The Pack won SuperBowl II in Miami. It was Vince's last game as coach of the Pack. I guess I can understand how Bob McGinn could forget about that game! :roll:

Maybe cues where taken from those two very inept announcers from Sunday's game.

I couldn't get the sound for the game, being out-of-state and all, and unable to receive DirecTv at my domestic residence.
Does anyone care to elaborate on the announcing? I heard Matt V. was a total Packers homer, which is better than having someone like Joe THEES-man, who is usually biased *against* the Packers. But I have heard repeatedly that the announcing was bad, without any specific examples.
Not that I don't believe you, but I am just curious...
P.S. Nice job picking up the slack on the Green TD.

P.S. Nice job picking up the slack on the Green TD.He said Nick Barrett 2 times. He called a run play a 4 yard gain when it was a 0 yard gain. He messed up a Dolphin name once and gave Dendy's number wrong once. Thats all I remembered. Thats pretty minimal to me. Stupid DVR erased the game because I had some HD movies set to record afterwards.
He made some really good pop refences that had me actually laughing at the time and the fiasco at the end of the half they were good about keeping us entertained.
