I have the same problem, but i love football, cant get enough of it. When our night comes i will just have to go to a bar i guess.

Gotta love it, never to much football. Any day is a great day for football.

Tell you this much, if it does not have a halftime, or a seventh inning stretch, ole sandtrap does not watch too much TV.

I love football and will watch Ball State at 2 am playing Hawaii in a Yiddish simulcast, with a Pig Latin close caption if I need to!

As for the SB, if we don't win I would love to see the Packers win it.

I agree with you on this for two reasons.

1. You can't not like Farve, he is fun to watch, and he plays like a kid, with all the enthusiasm.

2. It would be a nice way for Farve to bow out...which would give the Skins one less solid competitor in the NFC next year. (Although all signs seem to indicate that Farve will continue to play until dementia kicks in)

They started the Thurs. night games last year.

Love Football - Hate Farve. He holds out and hold the team hostage, and whines in the press when others do the same. He blast WRs when they run incorrect routes, and quietly jogs off the field after countless stupid interceptions. He took help when he was a 2nd and 3rd stringer, but goes to the press and says he won't help is Alex Rodgers.

And yet they are 10-1 and he's playing some of the best ball of his career.



If you don't like Favre, I honestly think you just don't like football.

wear have you been they did this last year and they'll do it next year!

I don't like Favre, but that has more to do with my upbringing. I grew up in the Chicagoland area, and while the Bears' style of play certainly didn't entice me, I did adapt the mentality of the fans of the area, and that's pretty much view the Packers as a whiny, holier than thou football team, who deserves all the bad luck in the world. I don't enjoy the "way" Favre plays the game, even if he is really, really good at it.

Of course, I have the utmost respect for what he is doing at age 38, it's beyond impressive. That doesn't mean I have to enjoy it.

As far as Matty's statement, would you still apply the same logic to Romo? That's pretty much where I'm coming from. I have great respect Romo's game, but I don't have to like it. Same with Favre.

Yeah perhaps respect is the better word than like.

I hate Romo, but do I respect his game? Of course.

Thank You GOD of all things Football. (GOD I hate to say this) I have more respect for Romo's game, than Farve. Farve throws too many interceptions and shows up his wideouts. I don't like QBS that so that, Don't like WRs who show up QBs and prefer RBs who score TDs and act like they are suppose to be in the endzone and just give the ref the ball. Jim Brown, Jerry Rice and Steve Young - Yes Steve Young. I'd take his stats over Farve any day of the week. His career numbers for passing and rushing leave Farve's in the dust. Look at FArve's best year v. Youngs I won't say if you don't like them you don't like football, but I will say if I am going to praise a Non Redskin, I will praise the best of the lot.

If you need a current player the conversation starts and stops with Brady. I'd his last 7 seasons against ANY 7 seasons from Farve - AND he has hotter Chics!

Romo has a career INT % of 3.8. Favre has a career INT % of 3.2. So if Favre throws too many INTs for you then you have to say the same for Romo.

And what career passing numbers of Young's leaves Favre in the dust exactly??

It's ALL about the benjamins! $$$$$$$$$
