Packers vs. Cowboys

Anybody else that can't stand the SOUND of Gumbel's high pitched nasally voice? The commentary was pathetic and you could hear Collinsworth try to control himself from making B.G. sound like a complete jackass. I swear Gumbel knows almost nothing more than any fan anywhere regarding football. I kept waiting for him to throw out little chestnuts like, "you know, there are 4 downs in a possession, unless a team makes a first down, then they get 4 more downs" and "Tony Romo plays quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys."

And how about BG trying to goad Collinsworth into a debate about the NFLN? He brought up the whole NFLN Comcast squabble and Collinsworth told him he was on his own. Then he brought it up latter and Collinsworth was just silent. Guess he doesn't know who signs his checks. And who promos a graphic that they might show later in the game? "There's a great graphic we have about the QB's taken before Romo, we'll show it to you later."

For those that missed the beginning of the game it was extremely emotional. One minute the place is electric. Texas Stadium was as loud as I've ever heard over the announcer's mics. The game announcer came across asking for a moment of silence for Sean Taylor and I swear you could hear a pin drop. It wasn't just the players or the coaches, but the entire stadium was quiet.

Have you seen any video of that online per chance?

And I think they had a graphic promoting the upcoming Bears vs. Redskins game and made no mention of Sean Taylor.

You know what pissed me off the most? The fact that they didn't display what quarter it was on the screen. Half the game I found myself saying, "What F'ing quarter is it??"Actually, they do display it. It's those yellow rectangles in the middle. Yes, they are annoying and stupid. A 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th will do just fine. No need to be fancy.

Jeff Garcia?

Um....finally TWO hispanics... :)

Finally a Hispanic is making it as an NFL QB!! I still have a shot :)

Seems as though you may not be aware of Tom Flores or former #1 pick Jim Plunkett!

Or Peyton Manning

im so glad nobody booed or yelled during the moment of silence for Taylor.

No, I remembered them. I just choose not to acknowledge them because of a certain game down in Tampa a few years back :)

The refs screwed the Pack yesterday. Besides the bad pass interference call that led to 7 points, did anyone else notice that they didn't call a penalty on TO for excessive celebration when he threw popcorn on himself. I thought the NFL rules barred the use of any props during a TD celebration. That was pretty hard to miss.
