“Just noticed this on my Packers credential: It’s Green Bay home game No. 4. Of course it is.”
– @LATimesfarmer, Sam Farmer, NFL beat writer for the Los Angeles Times, Tweeting from the press box at Lambeau Field Sunday.

Favre said, “You know me. At this stage, I’m game to game. That’s it.”

Good thing J.E. and T.D. jacked that second Title from Favre in 1998 or he may have actually retired, and we’d have missed this whole show.

It’s November.

Quote of the weekend from yahoo sports.com:

“The Denver Broncos went from unbeaten to overmatched during a 60-minute beatdown by the Baltimore Ravens.” Ouch.

Well not much more to say about that game. It’s always going to happen like that sooner or later.

So, in honor of the DB – (Denver Broncos, not Dirt Bags!) I am playing this sweet video compilations of arguably the best-played super bowls in NFL history, that being the highly dramatic, passionately and precisely played Super Bowls XXII and XXX!!! (1997 ND 1998).

Because, the Donkeys (my name for them… Do not let me hear you say that ! )

Are a long ways away from the events in this video… This year, they were rolling down a hill and could not be stopped. Now, they’ve hit the wall and just have to get to work.

We’ll see how they respond to adversity. Thankfully we already have a certain un-named quarterback / receiver duo who have already provided some measure of that, so there’s history there. But nothing is for sure in the Not For Long.

Without further ado, the greatest super bowls (highlights), ever:

The song gets old but whatever.

“The Broncos were underdogs from the minute coach Josh McDaniels signed on. Everybody dogged him out for all the moves he made, and people didn’t trust him. Having an opinion is warranted, but some of those opinions were really foul. They disrespected Josh as a coach when they never had seen him coach. They disrespected this team, when they had never seen the team play. That’s where I had a problem. . . . Change is hard. But the thing is, in football or any other sport, there is always worry. Everybody passed harsh judgments at the beginning, and now they’re all eating crow. And I’m glad they’re eating crow.”

Rod Smith, Retired Broncos receiver

Dr. Robbins

“It doesn’t mater what activity anyone chooses. If you take any activity, any art, any discipline, any skill, take it and push it as far as it will go, push it beyond where it has ever been before, push it to the wildest edge of edges, then you force into the realm of magic.
And it doesn’t matter what it is you select, because when it has been pushed far enough it contains everything else.
I’m not talking about specialization. To specialize it to brush one tooth. When a person specializes he channels all of his energies through one narrow conduit; he knows one thing extremely well and is ignorant of almost everything else. That’s not it.
That’s tame and insular and severely limiting.
I’m talking about taking one thing, however trivial or mundane, to such extremes that you illuminate its relationship to all other things, and then taking it a little bit further – to that point of cosmic impact where it becomes all other things.” Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, Tom Robbins

Woww.

awesome…

Wow.

Quote of the Week II

“It was definitely a blessing. I never would have changed. I was able to sit back and see what was missing in my life. When I had all the money in the world, I didn’t have peace in my life. Now I do.”

– Michael Vick, in a conversation with Sterling Sharpe on NFL Network, talking about how his life improved when the dog-fighting side of his life exploded and forced him out of football and into federal prison.

Sun Magazine

I recently picked up a copy of the Sun Magazine and rapidly devoured it. I loved the heart filled stories, humorous revelations, and the breath taking black and white photography.

In the on-line addition of the magazine you can look up and read selections from all of their previous issues. One of the features of the magazine that I am currently hooked on is the, “Reader’s Write,” section.

In this section, a word or phrase is offered up for the public to write brief experiences about for the upcoming issue. Phrases like, “Front Porch,” or “Finding out.” It is like sitting on a long bus ride and overhearing a story or two from everyone on the bus going to different places all over the world.

It’s a great way to take a break. Better than looking at these… ( !
