I'm probably the only guy that will get this but one comment I read about the Packer game was:
"Aaron Rodgers needs to bump up the difficulty to All-Madden" THAT is funny!
There have been many many playoff games for Green Bay in the lasy 90 years and the Packers have had many really really good Quarterbacks - but NO ONE has ever had a better game then Aaron Rogers and I will say this right now . . .
Ted Thompson! you are a genius! I was never a BIG doubter but I have questioned you on several occasions and . . . I WAS WRONG!!
For a team to lose these guys and still be in a Championship game - I bow to your knowledge
* 56 Nick Barnett ILB (IR) Injury
* 42 Morgan Burnett SS (IR) Injury
* 54 Brandon Chillar ILB (IR) Injury
* 88 Jermichael Finley TE (IR) Injury
* 25 Ryan Grant RB (IR) Injury
* 91 Justin Harrell DE (IR) Injury
* 41 Spencer Havner TE (IR) Injury
* 97 Johnny Jolly DE (Susp.)
* 59 Brad Jones OLB (IR) Injury
* 29 Derrick Martin FS (IR) Injury
* 96 Mike Neal DE (IR) Injury
* 74 Marshall Newhouse G/T (IR) Injury
* 51 Brady Poppinga OLB (IR) Injury
* 27 Anthony Smith FS (IR) Injury
* 65 Mark Tauscher OT (IR) Injury
That's like a whole team!
Back to Rogers - he threw 28 passes to his 4 core Wide Receivers and 26 would caught. Each receiver had over 75 yards - THAT is amazing. The running game - some will look at the yards but for the Packers you look at attempts! Twenty Eight attempts which typically means you are gaining yards - maybe not big runs but enough to keep the defense honest. This is all the Packer running game is used for - Keep'm honest.
I love the fact that by the end of the 3rd quarter the Stadium was basically all Packer fans and it became a home game.

Columbus Chamber of Commerce - WELCOME to the world. Looks like our Chamber is heading in the right direction AND TAA DAAA has a new website

In other big news Napoli's Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria have a new sign. Why is this news? because the Columbus Main Street Organization helped fund the sign. You see since most of the downtown of Columbus is Historic District there is a law saying you can not have any back-lit signs and MainStreet helps business owners get the correct sign!
Way to go MainStreet!
You know I get emails from people asking me how Columbus is going and I say - BORING!! Nothing new and exciting except for a town that is working together as one (finally) and getting things done - WEIRD!!!
There is one thing that irritates me. The Police department. Why is it that a person can not actually TALK to anyone if there is a non-emergency - you have to leave a freaking message.
Last year there was a fire out in the country! Nothing I was too excited about but I tried to call the Police Department at night and I had to leave a message!
Josh had a guy run his pick-up into his fence - call police - leave message! grrrrrr
You would think Columbus could afford to have someone sit at home and answer the phone? You know call forwarding? Could go right to the officer’s cell phone?
ReplyDeleteYou should call in "Dillinger is robbing the bank!!" Beep….please leave a message......just don't call from home or your cell phone. Somehow I do not think they would see the humor?
GO PACK!
