commentary...

honestly,to those who disagree with my ranking of greatest Packers' quarterbacks(i.e.why is Brett Favre ranked third on my list???):i do not go by pure offensive numbers,but by overall Packers' history,not just from the Lombardi era forward,but the entire Packers' team history,that is the reason that Herber,and Isbell,are on my list... i really do not care a whit about opinions... everyone has one,but my opinion is the one that matters...

my ranking of greatest Packers' quarterbacks...

1)Bart Starr,2)Arnie Herber,3)Brett Favre,4)Aaron Rodgers*,5)Cecil Isbell,6)Lynn Dickey... *active

a forgotten boxing champion...

on February 25,1995,there was a boxing match between two WBC world champions,and only one walked out... Nigel Benn beat Gerald McClellan in a real brawl,that saw McClellan knock down Benn many times,including out of the ring(aka Dempsey/Firpo),and the fight went to TKO 10,to Benn,but shortly after the 10th round,McClellan collapsed in the ring,and had brain surgery that left McClellan blind and almost totally deaf... a cautionary tale of boxing,for sure,but boxing fans and others have forgotten about McClellan,but not the WBC and a New York-based Ring 10,but mostly the boxing community have forgotten,but there is a fund raising dinner on Saturday,named,"a evening honoring the G-Man...",in Illinois... just hope they raise enough funds for McClellan... note:there is a fund raising page online,and i will donate something,next month,if at all possible...

commentary...

at the time of the NFC Championship loss to the Seattle Seahawks,i did not blame any one player for the Packers' loss,but now Brandon Bostick,who muffed the onside kick,and was released last week,along with other mistakes of the Packers,is saying that he has received death threats via social media,for the gaffe... for that,i,in no way,condone that behavior,but to blame Packers' shareholders/owners,and fans for a few "crackpots" is unfortunate... Brandon,as a Packers' shareholder/owner,i say,i personally do not blame anyone,but i do say that it was a Packers' team loss... i wish you all the luck,and to have a long NFL career,but the first time that you play the Packers,i will clap for your time as a Packer,but after that i will lightly boo you(ha ha)... note:to anybody who did that to Brandon,you are not a true fan of the Packers,and should be shunned...

NFL news...

a U.S. District judge overturned the suspension of Minnesota Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson... the NFL may appeal....
