[gbpackfan]

Scott Wells again? That sucks!

[Ebs]

also, according to rotoworld...

The Packers opted against activating Koren Robinson to the active roster for the game.

[Bretsky]

The Green Bay Packers have declared RB Brandon Jackson, TE Bubba Franks, DL Daniel Muir, CB Frank Walker, DL Justin Harrell, DL Mike Montgomery, C Scott Wells, CB Will Blackmon inactive for Week 8.

Yes, WELCOME TO PR Ebs

Interesting that with our run game in chaos Jackson doesn't get dressed on gameday.

[GBRulz]

The news said Koren will be active tonight !!!

[4and12to12and4]

Shit, I thought Brandon was playing. What the hell is wrong with him anyways?

[Ebs]

Scott Wells again? That sucks!

i think he had an illness toward the end of the week, maybe that did not get better because i think his eye was fine enough to play.

[Bretsky]

Shit, I thought Brandon was playing. What the hell is wrong with him anyways?

From what I read he's healthy
Just not good enough to dress right now

Wynn, Ryan Grant, Morency all are playing better

Did not know that; in JS last week a writer noted Jackson is going to be hard pressed to be active as he's not outperforming the other three he's competing with

[Ebs]

from the local news...

Receiver Koren Robinson was not added to the 53-man roster and won't play tonight against the Broncos. Robinson's roster exemption runs through 3 p.m., tomorrow.

Lineup changes: Jason Spitz will start at center for Wells, who missed Friday and Saturday's practices due to a sinus infection. Tony Moll will start right guard for Junius Coston, who is active. On defense, Corey Williams will start at defensive tackle for Johnny Jolly, who is active.

Not hard news here.......from the PFT.com gameday blog.......random stuff....

CONTINUOUSLY UPDATED, OCTOBER 29, 2007

With the Rockies on the wrong end of the World Series sweep, the Denver faithful can now focus their efforts on . . . a mediocre football team that could be 0-6 just as easily as it is 3-3.

We'll be posting random hoo-ha throughout the day as we prepare to get focused at around 6:00 p.m. or so with the start of the ESPN pregame SportsCenter and then, an hour later, the airing of Monday Night Countdown.

We're specifically looking forward to the amount of time spent talking about two teams that aren't playing on Monday night -- the Pats and the Colts.

Tonight's drinking game? Bend one at the elbow whenever the Pats-Colts game is mentioned. (Paramedics throughout the country are on standby.)

Okay. I'm here and ready to roll after playing a little Guitar Hero III with Florio Jr. We've got the shows on TiVo and we're working our way through the early coverage.

A reader says that he's already finished off two beers during the drinking game.

Emmitt's first effort, during which he talked about the two different Broncos' defenses, was one of his worst yet.

Steve Young considers Seattle to be an elite NFC team?

Says a member of the media who has been privately defending Smith all year: "I keep trying to find a way to give Emmitt a break. To back him some way. But I just saw him on SportsCenter and, well, it's a lost cause."

Merril Hoge jinxes Tom Brady by declaring that Brady is not going to get hurt.

Ed Werder says that Packers WR Koren Robinson won't play, due in part to a sore knee. (We hope he's not playing the drinking game tonight.)

Yet again, Keyshawn's hankie doesn't match his tie.

How can they call Pats-Colts Super Bowl 41-1/2? Could these two ever meet in the Super Bowl?

No tie for Ditka. His wardrobe is in disheaval.

A reader asks what Florio Jr. is going to be for Halloween. I'm thinking Mike Ditka while calling a Monday night game and scratching his junk.

How does trading for Chris Chambers during the season count as an "offseason" move, Key?

Tuna sticks an Oregon helmet in Key's gut. "That stings," Parcells says. "That really stings."

Reader: "For Halloween, I'm going to put my kid in a Travis Henry jersey and hope he gets a check in the mail."

Emmitt makes his same take from doing SportsCenter. The dry run apparently helped him.

Suzy has her Leather Tuscadero mullet back.

Michelle Tafoya, who is wearing a blanket in lieu of a coat, says that Broncos RB Travis Henry won't play.

Tafoya also says that DE Simeon Rice will play, but only on passing downs. And that he's not happy about it. (Is the guy ever happy about anything?)

If I was a Broncos or a Packers fans, I'd be pissed that so much of my team's night in prime time was devoted to the Colts and the Patriots.

A record number of readers are already wasted.

He has pnemonia.

I think Spitz can do the job.

[Ebs]

Broncos declared RB Travis Henry, FB Mike Bell, CB Jeff Shoate, S Hamza Abdullah, DT Amon Gordon, OL Isaac Snell, and DE Jarvis Moss inactive for Monday night's Week 8 game.

Insult to injury.......I steal Idle's line then Berman just did it!!!!!!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Shit, I thought Brandon was playing. What the hell is wrong with him anyways?

Bad reads on cuts, not particularily instinctive. Poor blocking. Goes down like a whore at first contact.


edit: sorry 4and12, I don't actually hate your guy Brandon. But he is not ready.

No he did not!! I can't be down watching it cause I have to get these kids in bed by gametime!! I'm considering Benadryl. Kidding...
