Romo to Green Bay?

25 years straight every media member talks about how brilliant the packers are for drafting quarterbacks all the time and how going all the way back to Ron Wolfe they are able to develop them.

Aaron Rodgers gets hurt.

Five minutes later the media is pushing the idea that The Packers need to sign Free Agent Broadcaster Tony Romo.

Ok then.

That be a penalty today......great play, when football was football.

no question, its a blow to the head.

The greatness of the nfl, all the money Jerry Jones, John Mara, Daniel Snyder etc make is on the backs of the guys who played this game in the late 70's through the early 90's. They sacrificed and played a brutal game and these old white guys all got rich.

then they turn around and tell us about how great the marketing is and how great a product it is on tv etc...

No, the men who played this game in a different era made magic. Along with the incredible jon facenda, nfl films, Summerall and Madden....limited exposure etc.

Those guys made the nfl amazing. they were characters and bigger than life. The fridge, the steel curtain, LT, the hogs, Buddy Ryan, Tuna, Landry, Joe Gibbs, Dan Marino, Joe Montana etc etc etc.

The nfl was built on their backs. The new wave of owners led by Jerry Jones used that and found ways to screw the fans over and over and over. Then we have to sit here and listen to guys like Jerry go into the hall of fame because he strong armed Pepsi into texas stadium or whatever.

RFK stadium used to move in unison with the fans, today at AT&T Stadium you can only walk around the stadium if you have a ticket to the club seats which are down a hallway with glass doors with two security guards.

The nfl was magic.

I am in complete shock at how the Giants played tonight. I don't expect them to start playing like this every week but it was nice to see one great game by them for this season. Wow!!

i do believe some of the nfl fall off is due to the sterile environments in these new cookie-cutter stadiums. HKS architects should be banned from building anymore stadiums. They build lifeless facilities. In the 70s-90s every NFL stadium had its own unique personality. Some good, some bad but it was unique.

Yep, they all look the same. They also all use the same in game graphics and audio queue's to the fans.

That stand up and shout that Dallas does with the rowdy graphic on the video board every team uses. Its all from the league to keep from any individuality and keep the ads all the same.

Stinks. Gives the Giants life and a win they can really build on. Seattle at home next could have them on a two game win streak and back in the thick of things

LOL.....I am being realistic and feel that the Giants just caught Denver at the right time in the right setup. I don't see the Giants doing that again against another good defense like Seattle. But it was nice to see.

Good point about the previous generations of players making the NFL what it is today.
