Clay Matthews: Favre’s snub will motivate Rodgers: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/10/05/clay-matthews-favres-snub-will-motivate-rodgers/

Stephen A. Smith debates Skip Bayless: Smith says: "Brett Favre may be the most selfish, self centered athlete of our time" http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7061578/brett-favre-asks-why-aaron-rodgers-super-bowl-title-ring-green-bay-packers-took-long

my comments in parenthesis... Host: “Brett, talk a little bit as far as what was going through your mind when you saw Aaron Rodgers and the Packers go on their Super Bowl run last season.” Favre: “I’m going to be quite honest, I was not surprised. The biggest surprise to me would be that he didn’t do it sooner. (diss) Because it’s funny how people forget over time, my last year in Green Bay prior to the first game, really at the start of training camp, I made the remark that this was probably the most talented team I’ve ever played on.(setting up the diss). And of course everyone kinda looked up and [was] like, ‘You know, this guy’s off his rocker.’ We were very, very young, aside from me. You take me out of the mix and we were by far the youngest team in the league. But I could see the talent pool across the board was outstanding. Now, our season kind of ended up being a reflection of that. We came close, and I think we took a lot of people by surprise, but we were — you know, guys emerged rather quickly. Aaron had a chance, you know, even though the last couple years it’s seemed like he’s almost a rookie, he’s been around for a while. And I’d like to think that, you know, he watched, he learned,(you know, from me the master) and then when he got a chance to play, he brought in his, you know, his ability which obviously is very good or they wouldn’t have drafted him in the first round. He’s got tremendous talent, he’s very bright, and he got a chance to sit and watch and he saw a successful team do it right. And so he just kind of fell into a good situation.(diss) On top of that, he’s a good player. ( just good?..try best in the league) I don’t think anyone would question now the talent around him is even better than when I was there.(diss) So I’m really surprised that it just kind of took him so long. And really, the early part of last year season, again it’s surprising to me ’cause I’m like, you know, it just hadn’t quite — it hadn’t clicked yet and I didn’t know if it would. Last year, I just figured when they hit their stride, they’re going to be hard to beat. And that’s what happened.” http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d822d4b40/article/favre-only-surprised-rodgers-didnt-win-super-bowl-sooner?module=HP11_headline_stack http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/10/05/atlanta-radio-station-bends-over-backward-for-brett/

peta's in town ?.....heading to O.P.

i win

thats exactly what i did....

"The thought of the leaders of both parties jukin and high fiven on a golf course, while so many families are struggling to get by simply made me boil over and make a dumb statement,” a lame excuse.....he meant every word of his original rant.

sold the other single ticket for $200.

Men die six years sooner than women. There are more than four widows for every widower. So, it would only seem fair that more health research and health education dollars be spent on men than on women. Yet in the budget of every federal health agency, more money is spent on women’s health than on men’s. There are seven federal health agencies specifically for women. Not one for men. 39 of the 50 states have an office of women’s health, only six have one for men. A search of more than 3,000 medical journals listed in Index Medicus found that 23 articles were written on women’s health for each one written on men’s. Although a woman is only 14 percent more likely to die from breast cancer than a man is from prostate cancer, funding for breast cancer research is 660 percent greater than funding for prostate cancer research. Even the post office has gotten into the act: there is only one disease for which you can buy a postage stamp and the profits will go to research to cure the disease: breast cancer, even though heart disease kills millions more men prematurely. Before the age of 65, men die of heart attacks at three times the rate of women. http://www.martynemko.com/articles/should-we-pay-more-attention-mens-health_id1231

i'm sure there are hundreds of "causes" that you have not contributed to.....and yet hundreds of causes continue to raise millions of dollars. this breast awareness campaign is all about goodness......and yet you continue to try and find fault with it. Did you know? » Because of inadequate federal funding of the breast and cervical cancer screening program, fewer than one in five eligible women get the lifesaving breast cancer screening and treatment they need. » Breast cancer is the second-most common cancer among women in the United States, but with mammography, it can be found early when the chances of surviving it are high. » You can help reduce your risk of having breast cancer with regular physical activity, maintaining a health weight, and limiting the amount of alcohol you drink. » More women than ever are surviving breast cancer through early detection and improved treatments.

some people could find fault with anything.... it's like complaining about all the good work that Mother Teresa did for the sick and poor by saying that Mother Teresa limited herself to keeping people alive rather than tackling poverty itself. A CRUCIAL CATCH: ANNUAL SCREENINGS SAVES LIVES !!! http://www.nfl.com/pink

they could have picked any color to start with....the fact is, that now the color pink is BRANDED to breast cancer. from a marketing standpoint, it has been wildly successful. i would also like to say that there are many, many other hideous diseases and causes that deserve the awareness and support that the NFL is giving to breast cancer awareness. why they chose this charity, i don't know. but it is a good thing to try and save lives.

If you watched any NFL games last weekend, it was hard to miss the flood of pink promotional merchandise worn by players, refs, and fans alike. And for those who are still confused as to why, the answer is simple: Breast Cancer Awareness! Throughout October, the partnership between the NFL and the American Cancer Society is on full display, and it’s certainly a sight to behold. The official NFL Pink website explains, “NFL games will feature players, coaches and referees wearing pink game apparel, on-field pink ribbon stencils, special game balls and pink coins – all to help raise awareness for this important campaign. All apparel worn at games by players and coaches, along with special game balls and pink coins will be auctioned off at NFL Auction, with proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society and team charities. This is an issue that has directly touched the lives of so many in the NFL family, and we are committed to helping make a difference in breast cancer prevention.” This high-impact awareness campaign is a testament to the power of promotional merchandise. Not only do these pink apparel items and branded game accessories generate a tremendous amount of public buzz, but they also double as fundraising promos to draw in money for an important cause (the pink items also relate an important lesson regarding the power of color when it comes to branding). If you’re looking for a cost-effective way to build awareness for your brand, you’d be smart to take a few notes from the NFL and the American Cancer Society. Promotional products offer the visibility, appeal, and return on investment that every company needs to build a successful and well-recognized brand! * Raise Awareness: A sea of pink will put a spotlight on breast cancer. * Prompt Action: More women will get cancer screenings, with early detection vitally important. * Raise Money: Fund-raising efforts will ensure better treatments and help find a cure. * Save Lives: With the NFL's action comes support. With support comes a greater chance of survival for all women.

Rule #1 - NEVER use Hitler in an analogy, comparison or reference....it never works and will certainly offend someone. i just looked at the whole interview....i believe he intentionally used the hitler reference to convey TWO meanings.... first,as an anology, the point that two enemies should never play golf together (obama & boehner or hitler/netanyahu) secondly, as a comparison, that one is good (netanyahu/boehner) and that one is evil (hitler/obama). so therefore, yes, i believe he compared obama to hitler. although he will probably try to wiggle out of that one. (and i am not an obama supporter) as a side note...Williams has said he's interested in running as a Republican in 2012 for a U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee.

the campaign is working.... you all are talking about it.... which is a good thing !!....even tho some of these comments are shameful.

we are tied for 1st in our Division. i think 99% of bills fans would have gladly taken that at the end of 4 weeks.

The Fitz Frisk ? The Buffalo Bound

we enjoy your posts....keep up the good work.

ok...i did some digging.... i think this is in reference to the running game. after the previous weeks game versus oakland.....buffalo bills linebacker Nick Barnett was quoted saying of the Raiders' McFadden: "Big son of (expletive)!!! He runs hard!"… it's way down in the article... http://m.yahoo.com/w/sports/home/experts/article?offset=0&urn=urn%3Anewsml%3Asports.yahoo%2Cyhoo%3A20050301%3Anfl%2Carticle%2Cms-silver_morning_rush_ryan_falcons_vick_hurdle_091911%3A1&.ts=1316422598&.ysid=V7JICYVk2HGPYdsmc6nUXguw&.intl=US&.lang=en

here is the link to "Vegas Insider"....the header says "opening" http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/futures/

those were all the "opening" odds....they are not the "current" odds. http://www.footballlocks.com/nfl_futures_odds.shtml

2008 - #12 Ryan Clady OT over #11 Leodis McKelvin

30 to 1 odds ??

my son's buddies bought some tickets from scalpers......they were forged/fakes.....turned away at the gate. the nfl ticket exchange is 100% safe.

how to get people to stop talking about draft predictions ? by starting another thread about draft predictions ?? try not responding and the thread will just fall off the page like the other 1000's
