And now from the sports desk

I'm back at work back at home. I had a great time at madtruk's house, and enjoyed wearing a Kevin Williams jersey while surrounded in a seat of green and gold Packer fans.

My analysis, and no one else has said it explicitly that I've seen - it was really cold, Favre is old (in football years), and he got fatigued. His passes in the second half lacked their usual crisp accuracy and drifted inside. Inside means short - it means underthrowing - it could mean arm fatigue.

Also, when you've had a running back run for 201 yards in a game the week before, the game plan that got him 8 carries in the first half, 4 in the second half, and 1 in OT seems suspect.

Almost time for Spring Training!

i agree wholeheartedly with your synopsis. i told jodi's brother that i felt like he'd thrown a pick, and then it would be a field goal to win it. (but i told buttonlass that i also thought the giants would go on the win the super bowl, which is probably wishful thinking!)

they didn't have a balanced attack, the cold takes a LOT out of anyone, and he threw the ball a whole lot in the game. he's prone to throw off his back foot in the best of conditions and it just came back to bite him.

too bad, i would have liked to have seen the pack and pats. and i wouldn't care who won. mind you, i don't really care anyway.
