Hot Packer on Packer action
>> Sunday
My first trip to Lambeau Field started just as I had always dreamed it would: getting hit on by the drunk forty-something woman sitting next to me.
Beyond that, some interesting notes...
...most obscure Packers jersey award goes to the kid wearing a Tod McBride jersey. Other notables: Derrick Mayes, Craig Newsome (two of them actually), and Joe Johnson (a wise investment, as Johnson recorded a grand total of 12 tackles with the Packers in three seasons).
...on another jersey note, I was happy to see several Mike Whale, Mark Tauscher, Mike Flanagan and other offensive linemen's jerseys being donned. At least in Wisconsin we appreciate the big uglies.
...the offensive quality control coach for the Green Bay Packers has a pretty cool name: Ty Knott.
...during a third and one play, Samkon Gado was stretching for the first down when he was horse-collared by his own teammate! Talk about stupid. Not only is it an illegal tackle, but it is a damn good way to land Gado on the IR for the season. The bonehead player (who I could not identify) was chewed out for it, but I was disappointed that the coach didn't make him do laps in front of the full stadium.
...A.J. Hawk, Daryn College, Greg Jennings, Abdul Hodge...throw in another rookie name that is beginning to turn heads: WR Cory Rodgers (from TCU).
...finally, Brett Favre is God.

I in fact own both of those obscure jerseys you speak of, both Derrick Mayes AND Craig Newsome.
I can see it now--Chris Berman demands to his producers that a shot of Ty Knott somehow makes a highlight reel so that he can make a Bermanism by simply adding "the" in between his first and last name.
Where's ya get back coach?
