It's mostly you. The Vikings have gotten huge play this year because of Queen Favre and AD. But I think having one loss while the Colts and Saints remain unbeaten has somewhat moderated the press' Favre addiction the last couple of weeks. This is a welcome relief.
Can we get all of vegas to stop favoring the Bengals in any game? They always play sloppy when they are favored to win.
That 2nd 1st round-bye is wide open. Right now it's between Cincy, NE and San Diego. Maybe Pittsburgh if they get their act together.
That was a pretty run by Vick. He has definitely lost a step though.... old Mike Vick woulda been gone for 6.
Jay Cutler may be one of the most overrated QBs. Denver definitely got the better end of the trade. And this is coming from a guy that wishes him to do well.
Yeah, Hanson as the kicker for the Lions is a living piece of history. The man has seen 4 sitting US president, 5 Detroit mayors, 12 new NATO countries, and 8 Detroit Lions' head coaches. Seen the advent of the cell phone and Iphone to the decline of the telephone booth. Witnessed the American troops in Iraq in two different campaigns, as well as US troops being sent to Bosnia, Kosvo, Somalia, and Afghanistan. 10 different shows have been the yearly Nielsen's Rating leader, since Hanson has been Detroit's kicker. Played in the NFL when teams didn't a salary cap apart of it, and at time Belichick wasn't considered a coaching genius, but a struggling head coach who was in a QB controversy with Bernie Kosar. He's seen both M.C. Hammer and Vanilla Ice as the biggest rap stars in the world to the two vanilla rappers who are on reality shows. He's seen good, law-abiding citizen O.J. / BAD, felon O.J. Also, he's seen Jackie Chan go from an obscure (Asian) Martial arts star (who wasn't big America yet) to one of the biggest stars in the world (and America). He's also seen Leonardo DiCaprio, George Clooney, Will Smith, Angelina Jolie, and etc become big stars in his same time span. Especially this person Hanson has also seen non-human puppet testify before Congress, Elmo from Sesame Street. He's also seen afternoon talk shows replace afternoon cartoons, as well as hookers on street replaced hookers on the internet. There was no such a thing as TMZ, IMDB, Y2K, overly obnoxious reality TV show stars, YouTube, or Disney pop princess. He's seen straight to video turn to straight to DVD, and seen Blockbuster reign supreme to being run of business by NetFlix, online piracy sites, and Redbox. He's witness Michael Jackson go from literally the biggest star into the world to the main that suspect of child molestation (and still the biggest star in the world) to the guy who was briefly married to the daughter of Elvis to the guy who mysteriously had three kids to the guy who was accused of Child Molestation again to the weird guy in dancing on the car during a criminal trial to the guy who died in June of 2009 He's seen Sammy Sosa go from an unknown dark-skinned Dominican, outfielder to one of the best Home Run hitters ever to the cork bat and steroid allegations change into another person as a light skinned Latino guy who looks like the Joker. He's played in both Ford Field and the Pontiac Silverdome. Also, he and Brett Favre have played in more NFL stadiums than any other two players currently in the NFL. The NFC games were still on CBS, as the AFC games were on NBC. ABC's Monday Night Football was only for ABC. The Fox News Network, Cartoon Network, The WB, The UPN, MSNBC, Direct TV, Dishnet and TIVO, all didn't even exist yet. USA, A&E, Bravo, and the Sci-Fi Channel weren't owned by NBC-GE. Boeing and McDonnell Douglas were competitors, as was Exxon and Mobil and many other big business rivals. He's seen Shaquille O'Neal go from a college jersey to Orlando and LA as one of the best centers (and most dominant players) ever to the guy who might have been a bad trade for the Phoenix Suns. He has seen a world where it wasn't an everyday thing (and often a joke) to a black golfer on PGA, a white gangster rapper, a black US president, a Chinese all-star center in the NBA, a mainstream female race car driver, and a movie about teenage Emo vampires who don't burn up in sunlight gross nearly $200 million in its first weekend at the box office to voila... Wal-Mart wasn't even in all 50 states and didn't have an international division or a $100 billion dollars sale year, when Hanson was drafted. In fact, Wal-Mart didn't have its first 100 billion dollar until 1997. Almost every current pop star today and the last few years, Brittney, Justin, Miley, Beyonce, Rihanna, Backstreet Boys, Christina, Lady Gaga, Kayne West, Taylor Swift, and etc. Weren't even old enough to acquire a learner's permit, when Hanson started kicking for the Lions. As a player in Detroit, he's seen Jesse Ventura go from being the guy doing commentating on WCW/WWF to the guy who occassionaly appears in movies with big stars, like Denzel Washington, Arnold Schwarznegger, and Meg Foster to a two term governor in the state across Lake Superior from Michigan. Most of the league's best QBs, except Farve and Warner were all either still in high school or not even in junior high, yet. In his first pro bowl season, Clinton started his second term; Morgan Stanley and Dean Witter Reynolds merged; divorce became legal in Ireland; Biggie was killed; Tara Lipinski became the youngest Figure skating Champion; 39 Heaven's Gate cult member kill themselves; Versace was murdered; Blair appointed as prime minister; McVeigh was sentenced to die; Woolworth went out of business; Death of Princess Diana; Death of Mother Thresa; and Titantic become the highest grossing film ever. He played in the NFL at a time, when there was no such thing of a Super Bowl winning team, either finishing near the bottom in rushing or rushing defense. Hanson has also seen four NFL teams go 10-0, during the season, the Broncos, the Colts (x2), the Patriots, and the Saints. Pluto was still a planet, at least by IAU standards. Jason Hanson, a kicker of history.
