I haven't taken any time to take a peek around the Packer blogosphere lately. With a busy day ahead, this talentless #$%^ needs to spread the love with a little Six-Pack action.

 

 

 

 

The Six-Pack

 

1. ESPN is debating what organization should be called "America's Team?"  Perhaps ESPN will crown the Pack with the title after stripping "Titletown" from the billboard.

 

2. In case you hadn't heard, Brent Favre has put down a chunk of change on a pad in Minny. Yawn. At least it's a condo, that way he can move easily in week eight after being relegated to third string.

 

3. Brandon over at Acme Packing company has been doing a nice little series on the top players on the Pack right now. I don't know if I agree with them all (especially Clifton at #8) but I will let you decide for yourself. Thoughts?

 

4. Brain at Railbird Central is surmising that the Packers may only keep two tight ends on the roster this season. I guess that could easily be the case. However, I hope for the sake of the organization that they have a veteran free-agent in mind just in case. I'm sorry, but I don't want to see Travis Havner starting anywhere but on special teams.

 

5. I really, really, really wanted to go to the Packer vs. Favre matchup at Lambeau. Unfortunately, tickets are already starting at over $300.00. I may have to sell my refrigerator box to get there.

 

6. Last, but not least, CheeseheadTV is talking about the progress made by second year corner Patrick Lee. Is he the future dime back? Sounds like he might be.

 

There's your Six-Pack. Drink it down.

1. I hate the "America's Team" thing. It's embarrassing. That phrase needs to be retired from the English language. And if it must exist, please don't pin it on the Packers.

2. Yawn. He's going to play for the Vikings if his health permits it, so the only real news to be had with this story is whatever news there is about his arm.

3. I checked the link, and #5 is Al Harris. Fair enough, but I am scratching my head about the "brutal 2007 season," as he actually had a very good season and made the Pro Bowl. Yes, Plaxico Burress got the better of him in the NFC championship game, but he was in single coverage and Manning was throwing jump balls up into the wind. Also, the "great 2008 season" is questionable, considering that he missed four games with a ruptured spleen.

4. When I read the "Two Tight Ends" article, I was glad to see that it was pure speculation, because it sounds like a bad idea to me. Chalk another one up to off-season boredom.

5. My sister goes to almost all of the home games, and she thinks there will be fistfights at that one. I would rather not attend that game even if I had the opportunity. I think it will be a drag.

6. Uh-oh. The article on Pat Lee is based on "a puff piece from the team's web site."

7. Why am I so cranky about all of these articles? I love the six-pack. I promise to be more cheerful about the next one, maybe.

When he came back from the spleen, he locked people down.

I agree with Greg C about the whole America's Team, It's a pretty lame title to have, I prefer Titletown myself. And Maybe if we had to be America's Team we should make it North America's Team since they are usually voted the most popular team in Canada as well, And I add one to that statement :P
