Football

Well done on the predictions Slaps. I had a couple thoughts while watching the Packers game:

1) Favre is the best QB ever. But only because he starts snowball fights as a TD celebration.

2) Regardless of whether their teams are in the playoffs, 1 game per week should be held at Lambeau and Buffalo. If you aren't manly enough to win in such places in January, you don't deserve a trip to some plush Super Bowl field. Period.


As for the whole direct tv thing, it's BS, but I think this largely because of the way the NFL zones games. I shouldn't have to pay extra to see a game with playoff implications just because the Bengals are in a closer "regional zone" and therefore have TV priority when they blow nads. That's crap. The NFL can charge to see all games (a la DirectTV), but only if it's putting quality games out there for us poor folk to watch as well. I'm not some fat republican with his pockets fattened by corporate bribes. I need my free football. And I'd prefer it to be quality.
