The Brett Favre Era Has Ended … and Only Wisconsinites Care

March 10th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Well, we always knew they were a strange breed, anyway.
Let me preface this by saying that Brett Favre’s legacy is not lost on me.  He has broken some of the NFL’s most prestigious records of all time and is one of the greatest football players ever to play the game; those facts are indisputable.
 
But when [...]

It’s not like we’re asking you to pronounce Slobodan Živojinović’s name, Nora!

March 4th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

So we’re watching MSNBC, hearing the same old blather about Obama, Hillary and toddler Super Tuesday, when anchor Nora O’Donnell reads the day’s news headlines. Flood here, death here, blah, blah … and then we hear …
“Big news from the NFL: Green Bay Packers star Brett FAIRVE …”

Thanks a lot, Brett, for destroying the Bengals. You jackass.

March 4th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Do you know who that is?
Don’t worry: Packers fans may not remember him. Guy’s name is Kitrick Taylor. Packers fans may barely know him: He played only one season there. But he was part of something huge: With Brett Favre, they killed the Cincinnati Bengals franchise.
Ok, not really: That’s owner Mike Brown. But I digress.

Sure Brett Favre is Great… but How Warm are his Balls?

January 9th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Straight up incredible news out of Green Bay.  Lost in the cultural phenomenon that is Brett Favre is the fact that, despite temperatures expected to stay well below 30 degrees - and with snow highly likely - Seahawks kicker Josh Brown will be assured of having mildly warmed pants.  How this is permitted by a [...]

Running Diary of the Green Bay - Detroit Game

November 22nd, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

Dear readers, below you will find possibly the only second quarter commentary on the net.  Sure some writers probably wrote the whole game, but I bet dollars to doughnuts I am the only author who only offered the 2nd quarter. 
All the main stream bloggers start with quarter 1.  Starting with quarter two is far cooler.

Giants - Cowboys Preview

November 9th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

I rarely mention the NFL on The Meaningful Collateral, but today I will make an exception.  This week there is a match-up in the NFC that deserves some ink.  The dreaded Dallas Cowboys make their annual trip the the swamps of North Jersey to take on a surging Giants squad in what appears to be a [...]

Just a reminder: Six teams passed on Adrian Peterson

November 4th, 2007 | Posted in Uncategorized

1 PM GAME RECAPS:
Not that I can fault any of the six picks ahead of him (it’s only eight games into their rookie years) but, man, this Adrian Peterson kid knows how to run. And he knows how to carry an oblong object.
MINNESOTA 35, SAN DIEGO 17: So I’m in a pick a loser [...]
