Come Back

It took a tie for the greatest come back in Packers franchise history to awaken me from my long winter's blogging nap.

I'm not sure which I enjoyed more, the Green Bay win or the self destruction of Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and the Dallas Cowboys.

America's team my ass and the scientific community is united in that fact.

I'm not sure what game the Associated Press was watching, but the AP wrote this about the last Dallas drive --

Behind for the first time since the first quarter, Romo threw a ball too far in front of Cole Beasley, and Tramon Williams made a diving grab that was initially called incomplete. When the video review overturned the call, Flynn ended the game with kneel-downs.

Dallas never trailed in the game until the Packers go ahead touchdown.

I love football and, for the most part, enjoy whatever version the NFL plays, but as I told Chris there is no defense anymore.

Chris replied, just like the NBA.

The proof is in the product -- There were 763 points scored in the NFL on Sunday, a league record for one day.

Sweet Thing

In the immortal words of Jackie Gleason -- How sweet it is!

And the scientific community is united in that fact.

The Green Bay Packers are North Division Champions.

This Division title not only came by defeating the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field, it bounced Da Bears and Jay Cutler from the playoffs.

Aaron Rodgers to Randall Cobb, for the game winning touchdown, reminded me of Brett Favre to Sterling Sharpe in the playoffs against the Lions.

Thanks to his interception at the end, Cutler remains our bitch.

How did he ever get that one win against the Pack?

It was good to see the Dallas Cowboys lose the Division in the final game of the season, for the third straight year.

I feel a bit bad for Iowan Kyle Orton, as he's a friend of a good friend of mine.

Orton didn't play bad, until he Tony Romo'd at the end.
