The Three Worst Words in Football
Brett’s a Jet.
You know what that means?
I’m a Jets fan now.
Ever since the infamous “itch” was reported, Thompson and McCarthy had no clue. They said “Rodgers is our quarterback”, and “Brett can be a backup.” And ever since the itch, I’ve wanted Thompson and McCarthy run out of the state of Wisconsin.
I realize that you spent your entire offseason on the premise that Rodgers was the starting quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. I also realize that you made irreversible decisions because of that. But this is the NFL.
You’re supposed to make changes on the fly. Brett does it all the time. Remember that flip as he was falling? I don’t think that was the playcall in the huddle. Thompson should’ve welcomed back Brett with open arms, put Rodgers back at good ‘ol #2, and proceeded to remain in the NFL’s elite.
A former local sports radio host said on the air in a guest appearance that the Packers did the right thing, taking “two steps back in order to take three steps forward.” That makes sense, if you are a rebuilding team.
This wasn’t that team. They came off the NFC Championship. I’m no genius, but isn’t that like REALLY close to the Super Bowl? How can the be rebuilding?
I said it before: the NFL is the NOW Football League. Ted Thompson doesn’t care. He’d rather risk his job on an unproven, injury-prone 4th-year player who has never started a game in the NFL. I’d like to see them run too, because no defense will only have seven men in the box. It’s gonna be an 8-man front until Aaron proves himself. And as a lifetime Packer fan, and 6-year Patriots fan (Yes, I know, but I’ve stuck with them, haven’t I?), and a converted Jets fan, I see the Packers fail to make the playoffs.
Minnesota wins the division, and the Giants/Eagles/Cowboys have the Quarterbacks to win. That leaves Green Bay on the outside looking in.
Now, I hope that I’m way off. I hope the Packers do make the playoffs and have a huge run. But Green Bay doesn’t deserve it. Not after the way they only looked after themselves.
If it wasn’t for Brett Favre, we’d be the Lions. The perennial loser. But Brett changed that. We won. A lot. 160 times, in fact. That’s 10.7 wins a season. That’s a lot.
Ted Thompson has turned this organization from the Green Bay Packers into the Ted Thompson Packers. Let’s put a “T” on that helmet, why don’t we? You can’t tell me that Ted isn’t putting a stranglehold on this team.
Next offseason, Driver will be gone. So will Harris. And KGB. Maybe even Barnett. Anything that smells of Ron Wolf and Mike Sherman. Gone. And where will we be?
Jets fans, of course.

I’ll admit, it’s catchier than “Go Pack Go.”

Odd circumstances all the way around. It was very clear that Thompson was eager to start the Rodgers era, and didn’t want to wait another year or two. Which might have made more sense after one of Favre’s mediocre seasons, but not after last year’s success.
The Pack should be able to make the playoffs, but it certainly isn’t a given anymore. Not only is it a question of if Rodgers can get the job done, but what if he isn’t durable enough to last all season? Some serious trouble then…
I thought the Jets might turn around and trade him, but not after he sold all of those Jets jerseys.
The Jets could win 10 games with their cupcake schedule.
Three words you’ll never hear in the same sentence….classy and Jets fan.
The Pack should be able to make the playoffs, but it certainly isn’t a given anymore.
Thank You.
Good blogs about Fantasy Baseball Auction League are not that easy to find. It is interesting to see the diversity of opinions on that subject. I congratulate you on the work you have done on your blog because it is not always simple to maintain and update. Thx for the information!
I am big fan o Jets too, thanks for interesting blog, it is hard to find blogs about fantasy football
Hmmm….not sure I am following this The Three Worst Words in Football thread very well.
i dont see why the Pack wouldnt make it to the playoffs, they were playing really well together and although being in a tough position and league, their team is playing well enough to make a point this season!
Here we go!!!
am following this The Three Worst Words in Football thread very well.
The Jets were looking good earlier in the year but it looks like their O-Line is taking the brunt of the abuse for Favres low completion rate, Rodgers on the other hand is doing quite well and has a stealthy crew of wide outs to help get him into the playoffs.
Franco, you hit it right on the nose, Favre behind doors i think is still upset and maybe did give information to the Lions for their game against the Packers. Still i dont think the Lions could beat the Packers if Farve threw on a blue and silver jersey.
Football has always been one of the most easy to watch sports because fast action comes at a steady pace with plenty of attention-distracting waits. Take a look at how all the football league clubs are competing during the 2006 – 2007 season, including in the premiership, championship, League one and League two all the results, scores, news and eqipment and fixtures.

Hoepfully the jets can turn it around after those losses, im a huge new york fan and it would be really cool to see a NY vs NY(both play in Jersey) in the superbowl. Eli is playing better than favre but i think things will turn around, he the best QB in the game and he will get them some wins throwing the deep ball!
i see the Jets getting into the playoffs this year with the colts, chargers, broncos, patriots, browns and bengals not doing what they set out to do. This leaves spots for teams like Buffalo, New York and Miami to swoop in for a wild card spot!
I really like the emergence of the Jets receivers this year. Who knew they had a bunch of good wide outs. I guess it is hard to tell with Chads terrible arm.
The jets are in a tough division playing with the colts pats and steelers so its going to be interesting who go out of that division.
