here is to a much better 2015 for me,and my family... love you all,always...

NFL explanation of Suh's reversal of suspension...

here is the explanation from the NFL on the reversal of Suh's suspension:they changed the rule,in 2014,regarding player safety,and if the player does not commit a player safety violation for thirty two games,they have a clean slate,and are regarded as a first time violator... so Suh got a free stomp and got away on a technicality... so his history of stomping Packers' players does not count a whit,period... my opinion:to me,i say,it is worth an one finger salute,and is a crock of manure...

commentary...

i feel very badly for the Chicago Bears' 91 year old matriarch Virginia McCaskey... even though,i do not like the Chicago Bears,she deserves a winning team-one that does not stink up Soldier Field... the "Monsters of the Midway" are not there,but like the fan base,they should be better,and reward them with a team that is tougher than rock,but the front office really stinks,and it trickles down to the coaches and players... DA BEARS DO SUCK,but a team in Chicago should be like the city and be tougher than rock,and this season,they stunk up every game that they played,even the ones that they won... i "hate" the Bears,and i do not wish them any luck,but they should be better...

commentary...

i respect the NFL no end,but the reversal on the Ndamukong Suh one game suspension for stepping on the leg and calf of Aaron Rodgers,during the Packers' 30-20 win,over the Detroit Lions is simply a hot steaming pile of (name the animal) manure,and then fined him $70,000,instead... again,it stinks like rancid garbage... well,NFL,what has to happen to suspend him??? during an interview,today,Rodgers said that he thought he had popped his Achilles,when Suh stepped on his leg and calf,not once,but twice... does Suh has to really injure someone seriously,to get suspended??? $70,000 is a slap on the wrist to Suh,in the era of millionaires playing in the NFL... the NFL player safety department,and the NFLPA should be ashamed for this garbage,because Suh stomped on then-Packers' guard Evan Dietrich-Smith,in 2011,during the Thanksgiving day game,between the teams,and,from a report today,had to be called(he was in his car,when called)back to the press conference that the Lions held,to arrogantly apologize to "his fans" for his behaviour... he then acted like that the so called "apology" was not serious to him,and he simply acted like he did not care,for that stomp,in 2011... like i said earlier,what a crock!!!!!!!! shame on you,NFL...

polar bears would not like Green Bay...

i am sorry about one thing:not mentioning Lambeau Field,in the last few weeks... it is very cold there right now... it will get down to 3 below zero,with a wind chill of(right now)of minus 13 degrees below zero... stick me in a freezer!!!!!! anybody for a side of frozen Ray(laughing)... simply said,i thought it was cold here... it is balmy compared to Green Bay,right now... BRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

correction...

oops,i forget to mention that we also play the Dallas Cowboys,at Lambeau Field,next year...

an oddity in NFL scheduling...

the Packers play the AFC,and NFC West,plus the Carolina Panthers,next year... in a very strange twist,they play both the Raiders,and 49ers,in Oakland,and San Francisco...

Suh wins appeal...

Ndamukong Suh wins his appeal,and will play this Sunday,against the Dallas Cowboys... he will be fined $70,000,instead... my opinion:what a crock!!!!!!!

comeback of the year...

Cleveland Browns 29,Tennessee Titans 28... down 28-3,in the second quarter,the Browns scored the last 26 points,in game... it is the biggest comeback in Browns' history,so it is my pick for comeback of the year... it happened,in week 5,on October 5,2014...

beatdown of the year...

St. Louis Rams 52,Oakland Raiders 0... this is the beatdown of the year... it happened on November 30th,2014...

NFL news...

Ndamukong Suh has been suspended for the wild card playoff game,against the Dallas Cowboys,for stomping twice on the injured calf,of Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers,during the Lions' 30-20 loss to the Packers... he stomped on then-Packers' guard Evan Dietrich-Smith during a Thanksgiving Day game,between the Packers and the Lions,a few years ago,so he has a history of doing that,against the Packers... he will appeal...

NFL coaching changes,and personal comments...

Atlanta Falcons fired head coach Mike Smith;New York Jets fired head coach Rex Ryan(general manager John Idzik was also canned,in New York);DA BEARS fired Marc Trestman(general manager Phil Emery was also canned,in Chicago)... about the Bears,really TOO BAD(smirking,with sarcasm)!!!!!! DA BEARS DID SUCK ROCK... people repeat,the LAST PLACE Chicago Bears YAY!!!!!!!

comments...

am still smiling about yesterday's 30-20 Packers' win,over the Detroit Lions... so "Idaho Spud" time most of the day,but Black Monday,is today... coaches get fired,and i will update the coaching changes,today...

commentary...

twenty four is a great number... the Detroit Lions came into town thinking that they had the Packers' number,but they faced a pissed off Aaron Rodgers,a battering ram in Eddie Lacy,who ran for an even 100 yards,and an underrated Packers' defense,who came to play,from opening kickoff,to final gun... Rodgers threw for a paltry 226 yards,but his play was clutch,throwing two touchdown passes to Randall Cobb,and sneaked in a third touchdown,from the one yard line... Micah Hyde had a 55 yard punt return for the opening Packers' score... Rodgers came out in the second half,after tweaking his calf injury,late in the first half,and,i believe,he told the doctors at halftime that he was not coming out of the game,no matter what... that is ultimate grit,period... like i said earlier,twenty four is a great number,tonight...

Packers' game score,and comments...

Green Bay Packers 30,Detroit Lions 20... PACKERS WIN NFC NORTH FOR THE FOURTH STRAIGHT TIME... SECOND SEED IN NFC... Aaron Rodgers showed a ton of grit,refusing to quit,when he entered game,early in second half,after tweaking calf muscle... reminded me of the "ol' gunslinger",Brett Favre...

Packers' in-game news...

Aaron Rodgers back in game... Packers up 21-14...

Packers' in-game news...

Matt Flynn started second half in Lions/Packers game... Aaron Rodgers tweaked calf muscle,late in first half,while throwing touchdown pass,and came out in uniform out of locker room,so who knows??? Packers up 14-7... Aaron Rodgers warming up for the Packers...

beatdown of the week...

Dallas Cowboys 44,Washington Redskins 17... Cowboys stomped Redskins...

NFC North division game...

Minnesota Vikings 13,Chicago Bears 9... DA BEARS DEAD LAST IN THE NFC NORTH DIVISION!!!!! DA BEARS SUCKED ROCK THIS SEASON!!!!!!!

weather forecast for Lions/Packers game...

game time weather for Lions/Packers game:partly cloudy,26 degrees,wind chill:14 degrees... welcome to the "Frozen Tundra",Lions!!!!!!

comments...

all twelve on my all-time defensive players' list were players who would love to "take" your head off,when they played,and are/were gentlemen off the field...

my rankings of the all-time defense...

this is my rankings of the all-time defensive players... it is not in order,from one to twelve:Alan Page,Dick Butkis,Ray Nitchske,Deion "Prime Time" Sanders,Warren Sapp,Dick "Night Train" Lane,Ronnie Lott,Mel Blount,Joe "Mean Joe" Greene,Randy White,Bob Lilly,and David "Deacon" Jones... i could go on and on,but those players that i named i admire the most...

USC Trojans game score(Holiday Bowl)...

USC Trojans 45,Nebraska Cornhuskers 42...Trojans finish 9-4,for 2014 season...

Packers' playoff seedings...

if the Packers beat the Detroit Lions,they will get the number two seed in the NFC... if the Seattle Seahawks lose to the St. Louis Rams,for the second time,this season(highly unlikely),and the Packers beat the Lions,the Packers will get the top seed in the NFC... if the Packers lose to the Lions,they will get the sixth seed,because of tiebreaker scenarios...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

Santa in the NFL...

Aaron Rodgers,of the Packers,and Justin Forsett,of the Baltimore Ravens played Santa this year giving,in the case of Rodgers,his offensive linemen,and both his backup quarterbacks,Samsung 55 inch HDTV's... in the case of Forsett,who made the veteran minimum,he gave his offensive lineman,and his tight end,the same gift... both players are total class,period...

blog statement...

taking a few days off from blogging... Christmas Break for me,unless breaking news happens...

Lions/Packers game notes...

the Detroit Lions are a very good team,no doubt... i have to admit that,even though i wish they were not,but the Lions' team offense can score points,with Golden Tate,Calvin Johnson,a very good running/passing attack,with Matthew Stafford as the quarterback... Ndamukong Suh and a very good defense face the Packers' potent offense... Aaron Rodgers,Jordy Nelson,Randall Cobb,Eddie Lacy lead a very potent offense,and Clay Matthews,Julius Peppers,Casey Hayward,Micah Hyde,and Sam Shields lead an underrated Packers' defense against the Lions... special teams favor the Lions,but Micah Hyde,who ran a punt back 75 yards,earlier this season,and maybe Randall Cobb,who ran a kickoff back 108 yards,at Lambeau Field,against New Orleans,opening night,in 2012,could be a neutralizer to the Lions' advantage... however,both teams have struggled with their kicking/punting this season(with Detroit going through four kickers,this season,and Green Bay having a couple punts/kicks blocked,with a couple missed field goals,from Mason Crosby,recently)... Limit return yardage(not giving either team a short field,to start their potent offenses),and turnovers will matter,Sunday afternoon... to be honest,Detroit can definitely win,Sunday,with a couple of breaks,but Aaron Rodgers have had only seven turnovers,this season(five interceptions,and only has fumbled twice)... of his five interceptions,they have come in only three games,this season... Matthew Stafford can be erratic at quarterback with the long ball,so the Packers must rush the passer(hit Stafford enough times to rattle him),and at critical times,sack him,and "bury" him into the "Frozen Tundra" a few times... winner gets NFC North division,and first round bye... note:Packers have averaged 37.5 points/per game,at Lambeau Field,where they are 7-0,this season...

Lions/Packers game notes:beginning...

Sunday afternoon,the Lions and Packers meet in the longest continuous rivalry in the NFL,going back to 1930,when the Lions were based,in Portsmouth,Ohio... it is that way,because in 1983,the player strike that year cancelled both of the Packers/Chicago Bears games... the dope sheet,for every NFL game,that the Packers put out comes out every Tuesday night...

commentary...

you can not win for anything,in Chicago,if you are DA BEARS,because everything has gone wrong for DA BEARS,this season... they benched quarterback Jay Cutler for Jimmy Clausen last week... unfortunately,for DA BEARS,and Clausen,in particular:he has a concussion,so Cutler will start this week... let the circus begin... what fun,DA BEARS!!!!!!!!!

blog statement...

i am happy that the Packers won yesterday... so,i am going to take the day off... will preview the Detroit Lions/Packers game,starting tomorrow... "Idaho Spud" time... the last few days physically have been brutal,because i have been feeling like manure,and i need the day to recuperate...

beatdown of the week...

Dallas Cowboys 42,Indianapolis Colts 7... not even close,score should have been uglier... both starting quarterbacks were out of the game,with Dallas up 35-0,so game was a rout early on... it deserves beatdown of the week...

comments...

both the Detroit Lions,and the Packers have clinched playoff berths,this weekend,so winner,next week,gets a home playoff game,and the loser of next week's game gets wild card spot... you know who i am rooting for,but,honestly,i respect the Lions no end,but i "hate" the Lions... the Packers have clinched a playoff spot in the last six years,winning Super Bowl XLV,in 2010-2011...

a division crown,with a losing record...

Carolina Panthers/Atlanta Falcons,next week,for NFC South division crown...

NFC North division games...

Detroit Lions 20,Chicago Bears 14... Miami Dolphins 37,Minnesota Vikings 35... Vikings lose on a blocked punt in end zone for a safety,with 41 seconds left,in game...

NFC North division pier six brawl for crown,next week...

Detroit Lions/Packers,at Lambeau Field,for the NFL North Division crown,next week... Lions are 0-20,at Lambeau Field,since 1991(0-23,in Wisconsin,since 1991,longest streak intact between two teams,in NFL history)...

note...

all the NFC North division games are not over,so when they are,i will update them...

Packers' game score.and commentary...

Packers 20,Buccaneers 3... Packers dominate game,out-gaining Buccaneers 439 yards to 163 yards,and even though the Buccaneers' defense played well,in the red zone,not allowing the Packers a passing touchdown,until the final one yard game clinching touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson from Aaron Rodgers,the Packers' defense also played very well... at the time that the score was 10-0,Packers,in the second period,the Packers had 235 net yards,and the Buccaneers had zero net yards(not a misprint),so it was a typical Packers' grind out win... not a pretty win,but a win is a win...

comeback of the week...

San Diego Chargers 38,San Francisco 49ers 35... down by 21 at the half,and by 14 in the fourth quarter,the Chargers downed the pathetic 49ers,in overtime... the 49ers ran for an unbelievable 355 yards but passed for a paltry 114 yards,as the Chargers refused to go away,and had a great fourth quarter,as they came back in a great game...

a family memorial my way...

it is a quarter to one in the morning,and normally,i would be cutting logs,in my sleep(i do not snore),but memories keep flooding through my mind,and i am in tears... this night is turning into a night that i never will forget,because i am beginning to really miss the people that have passed away,and those people were very very special to me,and this is my way to really remember all those special people... they all had a very special place in my heart... everyone from my grandfather Ray,grandmother Helen "NANA",my maternal grandfather Jack,my uncle "Bud" Walt,my "UNC" Bob,my soulmate Beverly,my mother Ahnawake,my friend Martha... to all of them,i say that i truly miss all of them... i have a mannerism from each of them... simple respect to all of them in this special way...

another one in the big Lambeau Field in the sky...

former Wisconsin Badger,and Green Bay Packers' middle linebacker Deral "the Little Bull" Teteak died Thursday,in Naples,Florida at age 85... while at Wisconsin,he was a member of the 1951 "hard rocks" defense,and while at Green Bay,he played a hard nosed defense,at middle linebacker,during the lean years of the Packers,in the 1950's... even though the team was so-so those years,he recalled in a 2007 interview,that after a victory the New York Giants,in 1952,the fans gave them champagne,beer,and wine,in celebration of the win... he was the first to wear number 66,made famous later,by Ray Nitschke... condolences to his family...

commentary...

Aaron Rodgers:17/42 for 185 yards,two interceptions,last week against the Buffalo Bills,and a 34.3 passer rating...  how pissed will he be,Sunday,against the 2-12 Tampa Bay Buccaneers??? anybody's guess??? all i can say that i would not like to play against him,Sunday... good luck,Buccaneers,Sunday... going to be fun to watch!!!!!!!

going to the big Lambeau Field in the sky...

i have been absolutely out to lunch for the last few weeks... i am very sorry,folks... there was many players on the 1960's Packers that get much more attention than Frederick Thurston,aka "Fuzzy"... Thurston was an offensive lineman,and along with Jerry Kramer,who led the famed Packer Sweep*,devastating everyone in sight,for most of the decade,under head coach Vince Lombardi... the Packer Sweep* was,"the one play that we must get to work",in the immortal words of Coach Lombardi,and that meant for the most part,Thurston and Kramer coming around the end of the line like locomotives going full speed... to be able to see that sight must have mind blowing,and scary,to a cornerback and/or safety... well,Fuzzy died on December 14,2014... i deeply tip my hat to a real Packer great... *i put the words in with capital letters,out of respect for Thurston,today...

for a laugh...

Green Bay Packers' running back Eddie Lacy has missed practice,the last two days,because contact irritation with his eyes... Meanwhile,the NFLPA has approved using a seeing eye dog for Lacy,during the game with the Buccaneers*... Lacy will be ready for the game... *i found this tidbit on a satirical website... sometimes,football is too serious,so that made me my day...

Packers/Buccaneers game notes...

the last time the Packers played in Tampa Bay,in 2009,quarterback Aaron Rodgers was in his second year starting for the Packers,the Packers were 4-3,had a punt blocked for a touchdown,and Rodgers threw his only interception returned for a touchdown,"pick six",in his career(so far),and lost,38-28,in an ugly game,for Packers' fans... i remember the game,because it was on national television,but i remember that the Packers did not play well... well,however,that was in 2009,five years ago,and both teams have gone in opposite directions,since then...the starting quarterback,and defensive back,for the Buccaneers who picked off Rodgers are not in Tampa Bay... Josh Freeman played one game for the Minnesota Vikings,and then retired(at least was unsigned),and Will Allen plays in Pittsburgh... the Packers have won a Super Bowl(Super Bowl XLV)and the quarterback has won a NFL MVP(2011)... the Packers will be pissed off after last week's game against the Buffalo Bills... before you think that i do not respect the Buccaneers,you are DEAD wrong,they do have talent,with wide receivers Mike Evans,and veteran Vincent Jackson,running back Doug Martin,who ran last year,against the Oakland Raiders for close to 200 yards(who doesn't against the Raiders???,sorry,Raider Nation),but he has not been the "jackhammer",that he was last season,and a castoff,from the Chicago Bears last season,in quarterback Josh McCown(now,could the Bears use him??? YES!!!!)... the Buccaneers do have a very young,and talented,defense,but they are facing a team in the Packers that really can not look past the Buccaneers,and yet,they have their own destiny,in their own collective hand,by winning their next two games... win out,and they are the third seed in NFC,at least,depending on how the chips fall,the next two weeks...

UGH,DA BEARS!!!!!!

you know that the Chicago Bears have given up on their 2014 season,when they announced that quarterback Jay Cutler is being benched in favor of journeyman quarterback Jimmy Clausen,this week,against the Detroit Lions... Cutler is owed $15 million dollars,guaranteed,unless some other team signs Cutler to a first string contract,and the difference of that contract,and the Bears' contract comes out to $15 million... let's say that a team desperate for a quarterback gets Cutler in a trade,or Cutler is released,the team who signs him a new contract(say:$10 million),the Bears are on the hook for another $5 million,next year... he was also signed to a $126 million contract,by the Bears,recently... what a team in disarray!!!!!!!

comment...

i will preview the Packers/Tampa Bay Buccaneers game,tomorrow...

commentary...

in an interview with NFL.com,Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers,who is good friends with Bears' quarterback Jay Cutler,actually stuck up for his friend,saying that he was "baffled"by Bears' offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer's comments about Cutler,and if Packers' offensive coordinator Tom Clements had said the same thing about him,which is very unlikely,he(Rodgers)would have major problems with it... in the last few days,i have listened to the Chicago media,and they are throwing everyone under the proverbial bus,from the Bears' ownership,the general manager,all the coaches and to the players... as for Cutler,Kromer did him dead wrong,and to complain about the quarterback for the Bears' offensive woes,when (Kromer)is the offensive coordinator is a piece of chicken manure... i may not like Cutler,and the "hated" DA BEARS,but to tell you the truth,general manager Phil Emery,head coach Marc Trestman,and especially offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer should go back to unemployment,right now... at 5-9,the Bears are in disarray:to lose,at home,31-15,to a team in the New Orleans Saints,who lost,41-10,to the pathetic Carolina Panthers,last week,is a total disgrace... there are two fan bases who are known to be rabid fans:the Packers' fans,and the Bears' fans(oops,i may add a third fan base:the Browns' fans),but for this commentary,that is moot... as a fan/shareholder/owner of the Packers,i actually feel sorry for the Bears' fan base:they are watching a very bad team imploding,in front of their eyes,and what is sad is that the Bears' players,coaches,and organization do not seem to give a whit,about putting a quality team on the field... for the fans,i respectfully bow in shame,for you go to Soldier Field,every game day,and honestly sit through three hours plus of total manure,at least,for this year... however,it does not mean that the Packers and its fan base does not want to "bury" the Bears,every year... the same can be said for the Bears,and its fan base... it just is a real shame that the Bears organization does not care a whit about the team,and now the team is in total disarray...

good luck,Tampa Bay,Sunday...

if i was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,i would hope that Aaron Rodgers is not so "frustrated" this Sunday,because the Packers' offense did not play well,and Rodgers is very upset with the way that he played last Sunday... actually,i feel very bad for the Buccaneers,because they will face a very pissed off quarterback,and a team who will have a huge collective chip on their shoulders to prove to the NFL that even though Buffalo did play their best game,the Packers are a team to really fear,in the playoff mix,even if they are on the road... everyone,on the Packers,are going to be really fired up to prove a real point to everyone,Sunday... unfortunately,the Buccaneers are the "basic roadkill" that the Packers are going to put to waste... good luck,Tampa Bay,Sunday...

family memories...

i simply do not know what to say... i am not in the Christmas spirit,not because of the obvious commercial stuff,which i really do not like one bit... i saw a Christmas commercial this year actually before Halloween,and i flipped it an one finger salute... people have truly forgotten what Christmas really means,or they just do not care a whit about it... i could go on about the birth of Jesus Christ,and what happened shortly after the birth,but people know that story,but for me,it means family being around,and joking around with one another,with stories that may not have much meaning to people outside the family,but crack the family up in stitches laughing at the stupidity of family members,who were braindead when they did idiotic things,like me falling spread eagle across the table at another holiday,or Dad chasing Kelly's horse in his Jeep Rambler,in front of the "Big House",one morning,while i went to school,or Mike falling onto ice,when skating backwards trying to impress a girl,and saying,"oh... my beautiful face",as Mom took him to the hospital for stitches... (he still denies it,but i was in the car,when he said it,over and over),or Mom doing "the human fly",when drunk,and she climbed the refrigerator,one night... those stories still make me smile and quietly laugh to myself... what a family!!!!!!!!

last night's NFC North division game...

New Orleans Saints 31,Chicago Bears 15... Bears are officially in hibernation... they basically waved the white flag,on this season,by giving up 24 straight points,and trailed 24-0,after three periods... the Bears have not been the same team,since the end of the first half of the first game,between the Packers and the Bears,when they did lead 17-14,and were stopped by the Packers on the half foot line(Ha Ha Clinton-Dix made the play,by dragging the Bears' receiver away from the goal line),as time ran out in the half... the Packers then scored 24 straight points to win the game going away,38-17... DA BEARS SUCK!!!!!!!!

blog statement...

day off... need it badly,honestly,not in a good mood,at all... before i go off,"Idaho Spud" time...

folks,i made a mistake in posting today's blogpost... i posted it on my other blog... guess what... today is reverse blog day,part two...

NFC North division games...

Detroit 16,Minnesota 14... New Orleans Saints/Chicago Bears,Monday night...

commentary...

note:i wanted to do this tomorrow morning,but i need to get a real bad taste out of my mouth,so here it is:it was a defensive masterpiece by the Bills,picking off quarterback Aaron Rodgers twice,and forced a fumble in last two minutes,that was ruled(correctly),in the Packers' end zone... in last two minutes of game,if fumble is not recovered by fumbling player behind the line of scrimmage(Rodgers),and then touched by recovering team(Packers-Eddie Lacy)the football is dead,the moment the football is touched,meaning if the football is in the end zone,then it is a safety... i learned something that i did not know,today... a 75 yard punt return by Marcus Thigpen gave the Bills their only touchdown,and a very bad day from quarterback Aaron Rodgers(17/42,for 185 yards),gave the Bills the win... eating crow does not taste good,but i give a hat tip to the very good Buffalo Bills team defense... a second note:last week,they did play the very good team defense against Denver Broncos' quarterback,but last week,they lost to the Broncos,24-17...

beatdown of the week...

Cincinnati Bengals 30,Cleveland Browns 0... Browns' quarterback Johnny Manziel threw for eighty yards passing,in his NFL starting debut,and Cincinnati steamrolled the Browns...

Packers' game score,and comments

Buffalo Bills 21,Packers 13... the Packers' offense imploded(a ton of dropped passes),and that Buffalo team defense,special teams,and just enough offense beat the Packers... commentary,tomorrow morning...

in my life,part 8...

i lost my soulmate fifteen years ago,Christmas Day... people have said to me that,"you should get over it"... losing someone anytime is very,very tough,and you never "get over it"... even though,i smile every Christmas Day,i really have my silent moments of pain every Christmas,usually in the morning,before i get up,or Christmas Eve,when i look at the moon,because i truly remember looking at the moon,getting out of the Christmas Mass,and wanting to walk two miles,over to the hospital,and saying,"Merry Christmas",to my soulmate,and yet,after five plus hours of standing in Mass,my legs were so sore that i almost did not make the six blocks to my studio apartment,that night... to those people,who think losing someone you dearly love is not tough,and that you can "just get over it",simply try it... it honestly gets better to the point that you can go on,but the pain never,ever subsides,one bit... to my family,i say that i dearly love you all... always have,always will!!!!!!!!

Mariota wins Heisman...

NO SURPRISE!!!! Oregon Ducks' quarterback Marcus Mariota has won the Heisman Trophy...

commentary...

i have no sympathy for suspended Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson... first of all,he did something really stupid to his son,in disciplining him... that is understood... however,why is it when NFL players get into trouble,they act like they are entitled to play,and act like idiotic divas??? i have talked earlier of Ray Rice,and his wife,Janay,who are ultimate divas,period.. now,Peterson,who is acting like a crybaby,and says that he has already made $8 million this year(while on commissioner's exempt list),why doesn't he retire,and do other things,and whines about loving football,"because he loves to play football"... he is not entitled to play while acting like a stupid moronic idiot... playing football,in the NFL,is not a right,but a privilege,no matter how talented you are... he will go to federal court to try to have his suspension overturned,like the players in the Saints' "bounty" case,in 2011...  if i was him(and i thank God,i am not),i would take the six game suspension,do what the NFL wants him to do,and act like a adult,not a spoiled rotten entitled four year old... his son could teach him a lesson,in being humble... in my opinion,his son has more class than he does... as a football player,Peterson is a phenom,but as a man,he is lower than pond scum... i have lost all respect for him... what a waste of a person!!!!!!

Packers/Bills game notes...

the Packers do not play the Bills too often,so there is not much to talk about,but the Bills' defensive front seven is probably one of the best in the NFL,and yet the Bills' offense is one of the weakest(Kyle Orton is a game manager),except for Sammy Watkins,who can fly,and their running attack that can be dangerous... you must protect Aaron Rodgers and keep him upright,and honestly that will not be easy,but the Packers' offensive line,most of this season,has been a very strong protective unit... if Aaron Rodgers is not harassed too much and can keep himself upright,the Packers should win,but i have seen every game of the Bills,and i have been impressed with that very good defense,and that is an compliment that i honestly do not give out too often... with Watkins,who may be a rookie,but has an amazing leaping ability,and hands like glue,the Bills have a legitimate chance to beat the Packers,if Rodgers,and company make a few mistakes... this may seem like a sure win on the schedule,but Buffalo defensively reminds me of the Detroit Lions' defense... same kind of talent,but can the Bills' offense keep pace with the Packers' offense,which is as lethal as they come,if given a few stops on defense... Packers should not take Buffalo lightly,and they should be very upset,with that second half,against the Atlanta Falcons,giving up over 300 yards up in that half,so they will play with that big collective chip on their shoulders... it should be interesting to watch the game Sunday...

an odd tidbit...

the Packers have never won in Buffalo... in their all-time series with the Bills,they are 4-2,at Lambeau Field,but 0-5,in Buffalo...

commentary...

honestly,i really have no sympathy for Chicago Bears' offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer... he had complained about quarterback Jay Cutler,and the offensive woes,in Chicago,to NFL Media,then lied about it,so he literally cried,and said that he was sorry,in front of the team... wahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! boo hoo!!!!!!!!!!! who cares??? there is a lot of things that simply stink more than a crying offensive coordinator that has done a very,very poor(some people say a very terrible)job,in Chicago,whose job may not be there in the offseason... there are rumors of a house cleaning from the general manager,coaches,and some players going,in the offseason,in Chicago... what is that stench in Chicago??? DA BEARS!!!!!!

comments...

i am very sorry,because the last few days have been very busy for me,and i simply have had no energy to do much blogging... all i want to is sleep... i am fine but just tired... will be going to bed early tonight... it will be "rock time" tonight... will do preview the Packers/ Buffalo Bills game later on,today,after i have a few hours of sleep...

blog statement...

been very busy... have not even turned on television today... will preview Packers/Buffalo Bills game tomorrow...

NFL historic trivia...

there was NFL history last night... in six of the seven games,at Lambeau Field(all Packers' wins,7-0,at Lambeau),the Packers have had a lead of,at least,23 points,at halftime... that is dominance at home....

commentary...

for the whiners who did not like the way the Packers played the second half of tonight's game,number one:the Falcons were down 31-7,at halftime,and Matt Ryan and Julio Jones got hot in the second half,number two:Aaron Rodgers,and the Packers' running game did not panic and just finished game,and number three:the Falcons came to play,and played a very good second half,even though they are 5-8,they are still tied with the pathetic New Orleans Saints,for the NFC South division lead(they are percentage points ahead of them)... simply,a win is a win,whether it is by one point,or fifty points,it is a win... so,in the words of quarterback Aaron Rodgers:RELAX!!!!!!!!

Packers' game score,commentary,and team history...

Packers 43,Falcons 37... Falcons' wide receiver Julio Jones had eleven catches for 259 yards(Falcons' record),and most against the Packers in team history,breaking the total of Detroit Lions' wide receiver Calvin Johnson who had 244 receiving yards against the Packers... fortunately,for the Packers,it was not enough,because Aaron Rodgers threw for 327 yards,and had touchdown passes,and,again,with no interceptions,but the Packers' running attack had 180 yards on the ground(Eddie Lacy,and James Starks had 148 yards,with Starks going for 42 yards,on one dash,to basically ice game for the Packers... Packers are 10-3,so far,this season... note:Rodgers tied Brett Favre with his 68th win in 100 career starts...  in those games,Rodgers has 222 touchdowns,with 54 interceptions... Favre had 194 touchdowns,with 104 interceptions,in his first 100 career starts... Rodgers has had 27,520 passing yards(100 career starts),and Favre had 24,079 passing yards,in his first 100 career starts...

historical trivia...

St. Louis Rams 24,Washington Redskins 0... the Rams shut down the Redskins for their second straight shutout... it is the first time that the Rams has done that,since 1945...

Packers/Falcons game commentary...

i said earlier to my father that the Atlanta Falcons have a very good team offense,and they have been inconsistent all year,and so they are 5-7,so far,this season... because of the 41-10 stomping of the New Orleans Saints,earlier today,by the Carolina Panthers(noted earlier on this blog),the Falcons are a first place team in the really pathetic NFC South,so the Packers can not take this team lightly... Matt Ryan,Julio Jones,Roddy White,and company will be looking to upset the Packers at Lambeau Field,tomorrow night(Monday Night Football)-the 22nd straight year that the Packers will appear on,and their only time this season(second longest streak in NFL)... the only problem that the Falcons' team defense have tomorrow night is stopping Aaron Rodgers,Jordy Nelson,Randall Cobb,Eddie Lacy,and company on a potent Packers' team offense who is scoring close to forty points/per game,at Lambeau Field,this season,and the Packers are 6-0,at Lambeau Field,this season... all i will say is good luck!!!!!!!

seventy three years ago,remember....

NEVER FORGET PEARL HARBOR!!!!!!!! remember what happened seventy three years ago,on a brilliant Sunday,as Imperial Japanese troops bombed the U.S. fleet,in 1941... 2,403 people were killed,and 1,178 people were wounded... President Franklin Delano Roosevelt(FDR)said in a speech,i believe,that was in front of Congress,the next night,it was,"a date that will live in infamy"... so,i remember it with a respectful,and very deep hat tip to those people,to this very day...

NFC North division games...

Detroit Lions 34,Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17... Detroit handle their business in beating the Buccaneers... Minnesota Vikings 30,New York Jets 24,overtime... wide receiver Jarius Wright outran everyone on an eighty seven yard pass(a screen pass),from quarterback Teddy Bridgewater...

comeback of the week...

Indianapolis Colts 25,Cleveland Browns 24... a last minute touchdown,and interception,by the Colts,iced the game,for the Colts...

beatdowns of the week

Carolina Panthers 41,New Orleans Saints 10... Panthers smash and demolish the Saints,in New Orleans... New York Giants 36,Tennessee Titans 7... Giants devastate Titans,with near-perfect game plan,except for a touchdown returned for a touchdown(a pick six),by Giants' quarterback Eli Manning...

NFC North division game...

Dallas Cowboys 41,Chicago Bears 28... Bears go into hibernation as the Cowboys pound them in Soldier Field,Thursday night... as i say(people repeat),DA BEARS SUCK,DA BEARS SUCK,and finally,DA BEARS SUCK!!!!!!!

trivia...

Brett Favre was 68-32 in first 100 starts... that is fact... if Aaron Rodgers can win Monday night,in his 100th career start,what will be his career record,after 100 career starts??? if you thought Favre was better than Rodgers,you would be wrong... that is a hint... answer:he would be 68-32,in his 100 career starts-exactly the same as the "old gunslinger"... one area that Rodgers may be better,not throwing interceptions...

Falcons/Packers game preview...

will preview Falcons/Packers game tonight...

blog statement...

had a quiet night last night... forgot what day it was... will be back later on today...

commentary...

every pundit is discounting the Falcons in winning against the Packers,but honestly even though the Falcons' record is 5-7,the Falcons' victory against the Arizona Cardinals(29-17,last week) was a very good one,out-playing the Cardinals throughout the game... the all-time record between the Falcons and Falcons is(Packers,14-12),with the Packers winning the last three games between the teams,so even though the pundits are saying that basically the Packers are going to win Monday night(and i expect it),i never would take Matt Ryan,and company lightly,and i really do not think that after the Packers have put themselves into the favorite's position(pundit's opinion)for the top seed in the NFC playoffs,they are going to stumble this week,at home,where they are 6-0,this season... question:are the Packers taking the Falcons lightly? answer:i do not think so...

comments...

i will preview the Falcons/Packers game,on Monday night,later today... i am waking up... stay tuned...

blog statement...

i am going to take the day off... i honestly have not felt well this week,and i just need a chance to feel better... nothing serious,but my sinuses are bugging the "snot" out of me,which affects my head,so i am just a little off today,and eyes are sensitive to light slightly...

put another candle on the cake...

Happy Birthday,Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers... he turned 31 years old,today...

comments...

the Atlanta Falcons/Packers game is Monday night,this week,so i will start to preview the game on tomorrow,or Thursday...

commentary...

i am sorry,but i have to vent a little bit... you may have been surprised by my blog headline,"WORST GAME PLAYED BY A NFL TEAM THIS SEASON"(Seattle 19,San Francisco 3)... well,offensively,it was,but let us go back to last Thanksgiving Day's game between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers(Detroit 40,Green Bay 10)... folks,not a bright highlight of many seasons for the Packers,but there is a comparison between the two games,besides both being on Thanksgiving Day... both offenses scored exactly the same amount of points(three),and both losing teams sucked rock,those days... both offenses had putrid days;Green Bay had their backup in(not to make excuses),and only in both teams' last drives,did they both get a real putrid 100+ yards of total offense... now for the main difference:because the score should have been basically 40-3,instead of 19-3,the 49ers' team defense showed up... the offense basically did not want to play the game,PERIOD... Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers' team offense was the absolute worst offense for a single game that i have seen in years,because Kaepernick,and company looked like dead dog meat,even at halftime,because they,as a team,simply refused to do anything but throw it short,and you are not going to beat the Seahawks,by repeating screen passes,and forgetting to rush the football,after halftime... at least,Green Bay had injuries to make an excuse of last year's game,including playing their fourth quarterback in seven games,and the Packers did not make excuses... they played horrible,but the 49ers simply refused to do anything but look like dead dog meat,all afternoon...

blog statement...

day off.. "Idaho Spud" time... be back tomorrow...
