A little early but...

The tendency is for Packer fans to take beating the Lions, Minnesota and da Bears twice a year for granted. Lions have better personnel this year. Bears have a better coach and Minnesota might have an at least respectable QB now, plus they always have AP who can be a game changer.

I was discussing the Cincy loss with my brother and he tended to discount it based on his faith that the Pack would clean up in the Central Division. I sure hope they do.

It's happened plenty of times (1-3 making the playoffs). The Packers alone have done it twice in the last 10 years (in 2003 and 2004). In 2004 they started 1-4 and still made the playoffs.

My hearing must be getting as bad as my eyesight! Or maybe the announcer was just blowing smoke.

I'd go with blaming the announcer if I were you.

Thanks for the sage advice. That announcer...I think his name is Mike Mayock...is a little overbearing anyway. I guess he knows his stuff cause he overanalyzes every sticking play in super deep depth. His player insights are good though, if you can listen to him talk about this "kid" and that "kid" and nice "kid" and tough "kid." He could be easier to listen to, no kidding.

That kid could play in this league if he could find a helmet with huge ear holes.

I was talking with a friend of mine who had dinner with Campen. Campen says that Sherrod is a "Great Kid, Nice Kid" I kid you not.

I don't know if I can believe that story about Campen because you tend to be quite a kidder.

By the way, a friend of mine told me that Stubby is handling Arod with kid gloves this week.

It's a true story - I'm not trying to get your goat.

Sez ewe.

I'll bet you it's not true. Double or mutton.

+1 for referencing the NFC Central.

It will always be the NFC Central to me.
