Anyways, in sticking with more NFC North talk, how about the Packers drubbing the Lions on Thanksgiving Day and the Vikings laying the beatdown on the Bears. If nothing else, this weekend for the NFC North definitely reflected the lack of parity within the division. Before the season many people were projecting a very tight 3-team race with the Bears addition of Cutler. Cutler has been nothing short of a catastrophic disaster in Chicago. The supposedly fierce matchup of Cutler vs. Favre could not have been more lopsided as Cutler added 2 more interceptions to his league leading total and Favre threw three touchdowns. Cutler was frequently mentioned in trade talks during the offseason with the Vikings and now the Bears and Vikings have gone in completely different directions. However, I would argue that Cutler would have much more success in Minnesota with the weapons that Minnesota has: landslide offensive ROY and dynamic WR Percy Harvin, the second-coming of Randy Moss in Sidney Rice, and oh yeah...what's his name? AP?
My Packers on the other hand, gave the Lions their 6th straight loss on Thanksgiving Day. That's a major ouch for tradition in Motor City land. However, what a gutty performance by Matt Stafford after his status was labeled as doubtful for the game. Yet, I still have to question the coaching of keeping him in the game and the dynamic yet hobbled Megatron, when the game was completely out of reach. Now if the Packers can come up with a big victory against the Ravens this Monday night, we might be well on our way to a Wildcard Spot.
Oh yeah...for that Tiger Woods fella. You are the best golfer in the world and the most private man on the face of the planet. You own a yacht called Privacy. Seriously?! It's obvious you value your privacy but let me tell you that the scrutiny you will face until questions are answered is unlike ANY putt you have had to make on the 18th green of a major tournament on Sunday. This issue will not just simply blow over and will get worse. I would hope you might put an end to the speculation and just answer some simple questions. Not to mention, your career is in jeopardy and you will be trapped without any carefully constructed responses to save you to silence the critics if your career takes a turn for the worse. Now I am not suggesting Woods is going to be uncompetitive but this is certainly an issue that will affect him until it is put to rest, which doesn't seem to be in any part of Tiger Woods' vocabulary at this point.
In totally unrelated yet somewhat related news, The Who will be performing at Super Bowl XLIV. (44 for the Roman Numerally challenged) Seriously CBS have you analyzed your primary demographics? I mean I am not a big fan of the Rolling Stones, who performed in 2006, but at least from what I remember they had their whole band. The Who only have two remaining members both in their mid-60s and they haven't had a hit in who knows how long. Unfortunately I can already see the headlines: Who performed at halftime? Or maybe it will turn into a big guessing game: Guess Who? (not to be confused with the 2005 romantic comedy starring the deceased Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher)
Anyways this about does it for me. Hopefully I made up for my extended leave of absence. Now where did i put my textbook?
Until next time...Adios Amigos.
