Well, I have some extra time now with Christmas vacation approaching, so I'll try to post a blog every few days for everyone.
Brett Favre is a Pro Bowler. Unreal. There is no way you can justify this award this year unless you doing it as a Lifetime Achievement Award. He should have been beaten out by Chad Pennington for sure and probably Matt Cassel as well. Of course I'm bitter about the whole thing as Favre screwed the Packers in my opinion. This entire season has been rough, and one of the issues has to be the circus that was Green Bay for about 2 months this past summer. I know Rodgers has made some poor decsions in the 2 minute drill, but I'm really glad he's our guy. The franchise is set up with a really good QB for years to come, and we're not in a funk like the post-era Broncos with Elway or Dolphins with Marino.
I'll debate anyone on this, but letting go of Brett Favre was the right move. They're going to get a high draft pick and hopefully sign some free agents and they'll be BACK next year. Ted Thompson better not sit on the that big ass pool of money he has to sign players. Get out there and get busy. Dream scenario would be Albert Haynseworth and Jason Taylor.

Busy Times at the Bullis House!
With basketball starting once again this year and with the new addition to our family, I haven't had much time to blog unfortunately. Also, there just haven't been that many things that have interested me to blog about. I'll be trying to get on here on a more regular basis soon to get the discussion rolling once again on sports.
A few things of interest are, who's going to win the Heisman? My pick is the favorite, Sam Bradford. Although Tim Tebow has been lights out the last month or so.
College basketball is in full swing and I couldn't be happier! My beloved Tarheels of North Carolina are absolutely LOADED. They've already won the Maui Classic quite easily, and took the Spartans of Michigan State behind the woodshed last night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Not really much of a challenge as the ACC has now won 10 straight! At least, the Badgers held up their end of the bargain in a very entertaining win Monday night over Virginia Tech on the road. Bucky isn't flashy once again, but I'm sure they will make plenty of noise by the time March rolls around. I really like their freshman, and Keaton Nankivial of Madison Memorial is in the starting line up, which is great to see.
The Packers, well, it hasn't been a great season. However, the play of Aaron Rodgers has been promising, and he's going to be good for a long time. I may not agree with Ted Thompson on everything, but he's got himself a stud in Rodgers. I'm just glad we don't have to do what some teams do and shuffle the QB spot for years after a legend to find the successor to the throne. The defense is not great. The whole reason is due to the D-Line and getting absolutely no pressure on the QB. All in all, the NFC North sucks and will be knocked out early in the playoffs. With the sub-par season, I'm already looking forward to the April draft. We make an entire weekend out of the draft in Madison. It's quite a good time.
All in all, I'll make more of an effort to get on here and share my thoughts. Please share yours with me as well. Let me know what's on your mind. But until next time............. Who's Your Matty?
