Packers -3 - Take the Bet!

Posted on 7:20 AM by Unknown
Congratulations to Andy for bowling a 300 last night! You can not finally give up bowling. I had a 299 once but it was way way long time ago before they perfected round balls and oiling patterns!
------------

So everybody is planning their Super Bowl parties but I must warn you. According to the news THERE IS A LACK IF STRIPPERS!! Yea - typically strippers start flocking to the Super Bowl City but it seems Dallas is having a problems.

As for myself I'm planning to bring a grill in and put it in my buddies cubicle and grill up some brats next Friday! I'm not going to ask permission but I will apologize afterward if management disapproves of grilling brats inside the building.

I'm thinking we can make this a yearly event "Grill Brats in your Buddies Cube Day".

And I think I gave people the wrong impression that I believe Green Bay would not win THE BIG GAME (insert echo effect). I believe they WILL win and I put my money where my mouth is just in time as the spread has moved to -3 for the Packers.

Here is the thing - I believe NOT having experience with the Super Bowl hype works in the Packers advantage. Pittsburgh has been there, done that and we have won a few times while I feel the Packers want to go and prove something.

I also feel the Pitt defense, while awesome has a hole. The Packers go 4 wide and the Steelers will have to take out a linebacker which is the strength of the "D". The Pack is SO talented a receivers it's a big big problem covering everybody.

Also something not getting THAT much attention is the fact that the Steelers will not have their ALL-PRO Center. The reason the Packers have been able to get to where they are with all the injuries is that they have had time to adjust!

Losing a key player is like parting for an ambulance. When the ambulance passes the most dangerous time is when the car wave crashes back to the middle. The most dangerous time for a key injury are the weeks right after the injury when things are not adjusted yet!

---------------------------------------

There is a movie that was filmed last year and it will be shown on one day, world wide and one day only. It's about Sabena Flight 548. It crashed on February 17th 1961 killing the entire United States Figure Skating Team, all 18 athletes, 16 family members, coaches, and officials plus and two farmers on the ground as they were in route to the World Championships.

And of course you all might remember what happened 25 years ago today. Challenger exploded! I was taking an accounting test at the time.

------------------------------------------

52 years ago today Vince Lombardi was hire as the coach of the Green Bay Packers. The Packers were 1-10 the previous year. The Pack finished 7-5 the next year and lost the Championship game to the Eagles the year after that.

Check this out!



Have a sonderful weekend.
