majormayhem1 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2008 Will Brett Favre lose his mojo this week and leave the door open for the Giants? As much as Fox and ESPN try to convince fans that JV Manning has "arrived" because he's won two playoff games, I'm not buying it. Let's say the Giants and Chargers DO both pull off the upset. My question to the forum is this. Will you watch the Super Bowl? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2008 Sure, why not? They haven't played yet this season and it's the last football any of us will see for 8 months. It would take an awful situation to skip that. I'd be more likely to skip the game on account of Fox broadcasting it than any teams involved. The bigger the game, the worse Joe Buck is.

Guest Cock Ring Warehouse Report post Posted January 17, 2008 One gripe I have about Fox's coverage of Packers games is that evidently, the only song associated with this team is "Bang on the Drum." That is IT. I mean, with the Bears, there's a decent rotation of "Sweet Home Chicago" (but still WAY too much), "My Kind of Town," a little bit of "25 or 6 to 4," and then "Bear Down" and "Super Bowl Shuffle" every now and then. But when they're cutting to and from breaks, only cheesy dopey old "Bang on the Drum." Is there nothing else? The BoDeans? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted January 17, 2008 As you might expect, Packer fever has really hit Wisconsin. And if you think it hasn't permeated through all aspects of Wisconsin life, think again. Packer fever has taken over a Madison church. The Madison Church of Christ is moving its Sunday Church service up an hour to 4pm this coming Sunday. The church says an earlier service will allow them to have a great worship and which also allows the congregation to pray and then root for the Packers. And, fittingly, everyone is being encouraged to wear Packer- wear in support of the home team. So there you have it. Packers before church. And at least on Sunday, one congregation has an answer to What Would Jesus Do? Watch and root for the Packers. New York Giants, you have no chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fuzzy Dunlop 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2008 January 17, 2008 Eli Manning enjoys "Seinfeld" reruns. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Many NFL players have far worse vices. But Jay Zollar, general manager of WLUK, a Fox affiliate in Green Bay, this week made it clear that he, not the Giants quarterback, is the master of that domain. On a video on the station's Web site, Zollar points at the camera and says, "Eli, no 'Seinfeld' for you!" Yup, the station has pulled its regularly scheduled 5:30 p.m. Saturday "Seinfeld" rerun in an attempt to disrupt Manning's preparation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Packers. (Manning will be free at that hour; the first thing on his schedule is a team dinner at 6.) "We don't want to give any comfort to the enemy whatsoever when they come into town," Zollar says. "We know laughter is good medicine, and we decided we're not going to give that to him." To which any self-respecting Giants fan would say, "Yada, yada, yada." Evidently Packers fans believe it's not enough that this year's players already have proven they're real, and they're spectacular. The station is conducting an online vote to choose a replacement program. As of yesterday, a special about former Packers coach Vince Lombardi totaled 65.7 percent of the vote, followed by a rerun of a local show with Packers receiver Donald Driver (18.8), an infomercial for "The Good Feet Store" starring former Dallas Cowboys back Emmitt Smith (8.8) and a "M*A*S*H" rerun (6.7). If Packers fans really want to mess with Manning, they will choose the infomercial - essentially a show about nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2008 http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=708346 The focus of cheap talk Packers well versed in tactics used by Giants By GREG BEDARD [email protected] Posted: Jan. 16, 2008 Green Bay - Aaron Kampman didn't want to talk about it Wednesday. He took the rather diplomatic approach of not providing the New York Giants with anything that could be deemed bulletin-board material. But what happened to Kampman during the Week 2 matchup with the Giants - and the immediate aftermath - said all that needed to be said. About the Giants and their style of play. And what the Packers are going to contend with in Sunday's NFC Championship Game. With 3 minutes 22 seconds remaining in the Packers' 35-13 victory at Giants Stadium, Kampman was blocked to the ground by Giants center Shaun O'Hara. As backup quarterback Jared Lorenzen was sacked, Kampman started to get up when O'Hara delivered a forceful forearm to the back of Kampman's neck. Kampman, one of the most gentlemanly players in the game, responded by flipping O'Hara on his back and nearly punching him. But Kampman had the self control to stop himself. After the game, however, Kampman's displeasure couldn't be halted. "I had a player that did something real dirty to me," Kampman said after that game. "This was stuff that he shouldn't be doing and he won't do it again." O'Hara was not in the Giants' locker room Wednesday in New York. No matter, really. The Giants' method of operation - tough, physical football that approaches the line of dirty play - is no secret in NFL circles. "I'm going to tell you, we saw it on film," New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison said after facing the Giants in the regular-season finale. "It wasn't no secret. They push, they hit late, they come at you and try to take you out. That's the way they play." Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. When Harrison - who has twice been voted the league's dirtiest player in a player poll conducted by Sports Illustrated - questions your tactics, then you've arrived if your goal is to be a physical team. And that's exactly what the Giants try to do, week in and week out. And their game plan against the Packers will be no different. Not in the least. "I think this is going to be the most physical game that any of us have ever played to this point," Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress said. "It is going to be physical even when guys are lying on the ground with guys taking cheap shots and things like that. This is the game to get to the Super Bowl and this is the game that you have to win to get there. It is just going to be a tough game all the way around." The Packers' coaches, especially on defense, have been warning their players all week about keeping their cool against the Giants. "It's a big emphasis, especially with so much being on the line in the game," said defensive end Cullen Jenkins. "We're aware that they do that stuff and we expect them to try it again. It's just up to us to keep our cool and not give them anything cheap. That's what they want to do - they want to bait you into giving them the 15 yards. We just have to keep our cool, you know? Not let it happen." Jenkins is hearing the lesson loud and clear this week. Against the Giants, he got into skirmishes on three occasions and one, a retaliation against O'Hara for a two-handed punch to the face, drew a 15-yard personal foul penalty. Linebacker Brady Poppinga also was flagged for a personal foul after he retaliated against Burress for hitting an unsuspecting A.J. Hawk from behind after the play was over - on the second play of the game. Of the six personal-foul penalties the Packers were assessed this season, two were against the Giants. Then there was the play where wide receiver Amani Toomer, after being shoved by linebacker Nick Barnett, tried to get revenge by diving at Barnett's knees. "That's how they play," said defensive tackle Ryan Pickett. "They do a little extra stuff after the whistle, things like that. It's a part of football, but they seem to do a little extra. You've got to keep your eyes on them. We just have to take it to them, not sit back and wait, because they get you on fouls and things like that. It's stuff we've seen all year, but they do it as a group." The first time around, the Packers didn't face running back Brandon Jacobs due to injury. But they are well aware of his trash-talking tendencies after he was involved in a handful of post-play confrontations in last week's victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The Packers have seen the film. They have been warned by their coaches. Now it's up to them to follow Kampman's lead and resist the Giants' bait. "Oh yeah, they do some stuff after the whistle," said defensive tackle Corey Williams. "We're going to beat them between the whistles. We ain't going to take no cheap shots at them. The shots we're going to take at them are going to be legal shots. They'll be hard, but they'll be legal." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Warriorfan Report post Posted January 19, 2008 Giants 27 Green Bay 17. The Giants shut down Dallas and I see no reason why the outcome should be any different here. Huck/Tom will have a planet on his shoulders trying to get back to the show and I think that will make the difference. The Giants will pressure Favre and the gunslinger will come out and so will the interceptions. Finally, venegance against Boston or at least as close to it as we can get for now.
