 Re: What Happened Aaron Rodgers!? http://web1.archive.org/post/405828 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 02:54:01 UTC How about Mike McCarthy who wouldn't throw the challenge flag on a play that would have most likely produced a turnover in the Packers favor, and not the ensuing TD?

 Re: Super Bowl Predictions http://web1.archive.org/post/402170 Tue, 15 Nov 2011 03:13:54 UTC Yeah, the AFC doesn't have any great teams this year. In both leagues, there are more good teams than there were last year, but no dominating teams other than the Packers. I think the Steelers have a ...

 Re: Super Bowl Predictions http://web1.archive.org/post/402026 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 02:08:02 UTC seriously? they are both excellent teams this year, but do you really see them making it far in the playoffs? i love jim harbaugh, and would be happy if they did make it though.

 Re: Baseball Poll http://web1.archive.org/post/400992 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 23:16:42 UTC Thinking of Lou Gehrig, but Lou Brock's not too shabby either. Also was thinking of Carl Yastrzemski, referred to by some as Yaz. Henry or Hank, it's Aaron. And there's only one Joltin' Joe.
