    Remember Caleb Hanie!

    Or Paul F**king Justin.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        This is the type of game that really scares me. I can see stubby and the team letting up a bit on this one due to Rodgers injury and expecting the Bears to lay down.

          You think the Pack are going to lose every week.

              I see it just the opposite. MM has done well when the underdog and when at a disadvantage due to injuries, etc. (the four game losing streak this year not withstanding.) It seems like he focuses his game plan on fewer, more certain plays, and he looks at every possession, every play as something to be cherished during the game (especially early). When he is a front runner, things going well, etc. his play calling sometimes seems less focused, and his game plan too diverse; and before you know it its the middle of the third quarter and its a one score game.

                I see this too. Beginning of the season too, tinkers and dinks and then really hunkers down when their back is finally against the wall. Like more focused on future than now at times. Gets the same when favored. He really is a great back against the wall coach.

                    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.

                      This was news to me as well.

                      But she is, one must admit, uniquely qualified to be Pope. At least, if my readings about early popes is true, she is well-qualified. She has a history of partying, of kinky (and many) sexual encounters, and a yearning for the spotlight.

                      I don't know if she's Catholic, though.

                          #Packers coach Mike McCarthy says Aaron Rodgers won't practice today and probably won't tomorrow but nothing being "held back" in game plan.

                            Aaron Rodgers (calf) not practicing, as coach Mike McCarthy said earlier. No sign of Rodgers even in the Hutson Center as Brett Hundley handled all the starter reps during the open portion.

                            Randall Cobb not with the receivers. He joined Julius Peppers and Nick Perry riding the exercise bikes during the open portion of practice. Cobb missed a few snaps on Sunday because of an ankle injury. Perry didn't play because of his broken hand, and Peppers is likely being held out for rest.

                            No sign of Aaron Rodgers or James Starks at practice. Rodgers was not expected to practice because of his calf injury. No explanation yet for Starks' absence. OLB Kyler Fackrell and LB Blake Martinez returned.

                            The Packers signed LB Jordan Tripp, a 2014 fifth-round pick of the Dolphins who was most recently with the Seahawks. He takes the open roster spot of suspended DT Mike Pennel.

                            Temperatures may not get above zero for Sunday's Packers-Bears game at Soldier Field. Packers coach Mike McCarthy said they will practice indoors on Wednesday and move outside for 11-on-11 drills on Thursday. Expects it to be like the 2007 game at Chicago late in the year when it was as cold as windy as McCarthy has ever seen. "The biggest thing is handling the football and the fundamentals, which is why it's important to get outside," McCarthy said. "Wind is what you watch for. When you get those gusts down there by the lake – all those things factors."

                              Getting Martinez back would be big. Holy Fackrell too.
