MNF Recap

The game time meal was provided by Famima. I recommend the carbonara pasta & shrimp sticky bun. Famima's fare is light years ahead of the corndogs & microwavable hamburgers at 711.

The Game:

Farve's consecutive game streak (232) is amazing. Instead of comparing it to the longest running Broadway show or Cal Ripken's streak, I would have like to see how it stacks up against other quarterbacks. Lorenzo should come back next year. He still has the physical skills to lead an NFL team. There were several near miss big pass plays to Donald Driver, that could have tipped the game in Green Bay's favor.

Field Turf, looks nasty as the snow begins to melt and the slush mixes with the shredded tires that spray out of the field.

"Like its natural grass cousin, FieldTurf’s grass fibers are surrounded and stabilized by a special blend of “synthetic earth” - FieldTurf’s patented mixture of smooth, rounded silica sand, rubber granules, and NIKE GRIND made of re-ground athletic shoe material."

The blow to the head call against Green Bay's Cullen Jenkins on third & nine, with nine minutes to go in the fourth quarter was bogus. Hasselback was slapped in the back. No one wants to see players get hurt but football is a contact sport. The blown call could very well have cost Green Bay the game. At that point they were only down by a field goal (27-24). Of course if the Packers had capatilized on more than one of the four first half turnovers committedited by the 'hawks (read as Hasselback) the blown call might have been a moot point.

Quote of the night:

"Stevens (Seattle TE) was kneed in the man region." ~Tony Kornball

I suppose you can't say he was kneed in the balls in week nine against Oakland.

Non MNF thoughts:

Is it too late for a quarterback change in Denver? If Jay Cutler is the stud everyone in the Mile High city is hoping he is and that he appeared to be in the preseason than the answer is no, but a rookie quarterback is bound to experience some ups and downs and at this point in the season you can't afford an off week.

Junior Seau(Patriots LB) may be done forever. The Theismanesque broken arm he suffeed Sundaynday might have ended his illustrious 17 year career. His arm was flopping and placed in a cast before he left the field. Seau was having quite a renaissance in New England after underachieving (all be it in part due to injuries) for three years in Miami. Originally signed to fill in for Tedy Bruschi when he went down with a broken wrist in the preseason, and thought by many to only be a third down player, the Hall of Famer proved he had plenty of gas left in his tank. After Bruschi's return, the two teamed together inside allowing Mike Vrabel to move to the outside and was fourth on the team with 70 tackles.



To all networks & media outlets: Please stop using that ridiculous long hair & bearded headshot of Joey Harrington. He has returned to his clean cut ways.

USC v. UCLA is the NCAA game of the week.
