NFL Playoffs: NFC Championship Green Bay Packers vs New York Giants
January 20, 2008
Last year around this time, everyone was wondering whether or not future NFL hall of famer Brett Favre should retire, most people said he should hang them up and go out as one of the toughest, passionate quarterbacks all-time, but man how he has proved everyone wrong leading his Green Bay Packers one game away from his third Super Bowl appearance.
Earlier in the NFL season, it was projected that Green Bay and the Dallas Cowboys would almost certainly be playing in the NFC Championship game, but with the impressive play by Eli Manning and his tenacious defense, the Giants are surprising everyone on their road to the Super Bowl.
Green Bay will be the obvious favorite to win Sunday’s game at a really, really cold Lambeau Field, but New York has been somewhat of an ultimate underdog by being underestimated the entire season from coach Tom Coughlin on the hot seat to questions on whether Eli could lead this team to the promise land, so you can never count these boys out, but with Brett Favre playing the best football maybe ever, it will be either an all out battle between these NFC powerhouses or a blowout much like Green Bay’s last game against the Seattle Seahawks last weekend.

NFL Football: Brett Favre is Better Then Ever!
January 13, 2008
It’s official, the Green Bay Packers are going back to the NFC championship game and Brett Favre is playing the best football we have seen him play, maybe ever!
NFL Football Week 14: Patriots Still Perfect at 13-0…Vote Brady Best QB
December 10, 2007
Coming into their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, the Patriots were facing probably their last real challenge of the season in their campaign for an undefeated season going up against Pittsburgh’s defense which is ranked number 1 in the league; at least before the Patriots put 34 points on them.
Tom Brady came out firing in this game, passing for two quick touchdowns to Randy Moss in the first half and finishing the game with a total of four touchdown tosses which breaks Dan Marino’s record of games with three or more touchdowns in a season with 11 games. Needless to say the Steelers’ defense didn’t really live up to the number one ranking as the Patriots rolled over them 34-13.
NFL Football Week 14: Is Brett Favre’s Streak in Jeopardy?
December 6, 2007
We all know that Brett Favre is one tough SOB; we all know that he is quite possibly the toughest quarterback in NFL history, but what we don’t know is, will the streak for consecutive starts in the NFL end at 249 on Sunday when the Green Packers face the Oakland Raiders?
One thing we know for sure is, ironically, backup quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be a no-go for Sunday. That is the last thing I expected to hear when it came to Green Bay’s quarterback situation, but that is the case for now with Mr. Rodgers who had a pretty damn good game after Favre went down against the Dallas Cowboys (promising post-Favre future in Green Bay).
NFL Football Week 13: Man Down! Favre Goes Down and Green Bay Falls to 10-2
November 30, 2007
It’s official, the battle of the NFC’s best is over, the Dallas Cowboys came out on top and Green Bay Packers got more than a loss as their hall of fame quarterback Brett Favre went down with an injury to his elbow forcing him to watch the Packer’s first loss of the season from the sidelines.
The Dallas Cowboys vs the Green Bay Packers did not get nearly as much hype as the battle for AFC supremacy in the New Patriots vs Indianapolis Colts midseason match up, but it turned out to be a good one, maybe even better, even though Brett Favre went down in the first half. Backup quarterback Aaron Rodgers proved to be a formidable replacement for Brett Favre as he finally got some time on the field Thursday for Green Bay. Rodgers really showed what he can do out there and didn’t disappoint throwing for 201 yards and a touchdown.
NFL Football Week 12: Thanksgiving Weekend NFL Match Ups

Even though you may think
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.
