NFL Football Week 12: Thanksgiving Feast for Two Elite NFL Quarterbacks
November 25, 2007
Quarterbacks Brett Favre and new comer Tony Romo were in top form once again when they took on their opponents on Thanksgiving Day. All season long, these two extremely talented quarterbacks have been going back and forth with great performances on a weekly basis with Favre showing that isn’t even close to being finished or washed up in the NFL and Tony Romo being more than ready to fill his shoes as the NFC’s top quarterback.
On Thanksgiving Day both Favre and Romo kept their winning streaks alive with Favre and his Packers going up against the Detroit Lions and Romo facing the New York Jets. Even though the Jets were coming off a big win against the Pittsburgh Steelers to play the Dallas Cowboys, Favre and the Packers definitely had the bigger challenge against the Lions and he didn’t not fail to disappoint by throwing for 381 yards and 3 touchdowns beating
Just a few hours later, Tony Romo set a team record by having the best start EVER by for the Dallas Cowboys by going 11-1 after easily putting down the New York Jets 34-3. Romo didn’t have the big day Favre did, but he still put up some good numbers throwing for 195 yards and 2 touchdowns.
The true test for both of these quarterbacks and their one loss teams will be next Thursday on November 29th when these two NFC heavyweights square off against each other. People said the Patriots vs Colts game was going to be, well I think this match up might be even better as one of these two teams will most likely be the one to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl in Arizona come February.

NFL Football Week 5: Highlights From Sunday’s Games
October 8, 2007
Not the most entertaining week for NFL football, but there were a couple match ups that lived up to the hype and got teams back to form like the Chicago Bears against their undefeated rival Green Bay Packers. In this game Favre was quite impressive despite the 2 interceptions (one of which was a hailmary at the end of the game), throwing for 322 yards and a touchdown, but even with the hall of famer playing like a hall of famer; it wasn’t enough though as the Chicago Bears capitalized on senseless turnovers by the Packers and handed them their first loss of the season.
Another team to get back to their old ways was the San Diego Chargers as the absolutely destroyed division rival Denver Broncos 41-3. LaDainian Tomlinson wasn’t the feature back this time around as Michael Turner tore up the Broncos defense with 147 yards and a touchdown, Antonio Gates was his usual self having 113 yards receiving to lead the team and the touchdown as well. With this win the Chargers looked a lot like last year’s team and now have some momentum going into another AFC West match up next week at home against the hated Oakland Raiders.
NFL Football Week 5: Who Will Come Out on Top and Undefeated?
October 7, 2007
With only four teams left undefeated, the Colts, Patriots, Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys, a few questions remain. Who will be the first to fall and who is the real deal?
Unfortunately for the Green Bay Packers, they are the only team out of the four with a worthy opponent coming into week 5 playing against the Chicago Bears. This match up is one of the biggest rivalries in the NFL and this year will definitely be a good one because the Bears are looking at get back to their winning ways after a 1-3 start and the Packers will try keep their surprising winning streak going.
Surprise After Surprise Brings Unpredictable and Entertaining NFL Season
October 5, 2007
Surprise after surprise! This season in the NFL has been completely unpredictable and very entertaining so far, from the Green Bay Packers starting out 4-0 with a rejuvenated Brett Favre to a San Diego Chargers team that looks as bad as the 2-14 Oakland Raiders did last year, poor Marty or I guess you would have to say poor Norv now.
The great thing about NFL football that has stayed consistent through out the years is any team can potentially make it to the Super Bowl in any given year, which in my opinion, makes this league and this sport one of the best in the world.
For instance, this year has shown us the improvement of many teams that have been down in the dumps for the past few years like the Detroit Lions whose offense is becoming reminiscent to Mike Martz’s old St. Louis Rams high powered offense when Kurt Warner was winning MVPs which has the Lions sitting on a very comfortable 3-1 record.
