FROM THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS, PART YEDI

(What language is Yedi? Hint, I rip from today's news)

The Packers new Golden Girls the Buege Triplets. Top that Bears

THE SUBLIME:

I didn't die last week and lost four pounds.

THE SUBLIMEST:



John Martinkovic (1951-56) one of the oldest there

There are still old Packers out there who didn't die either and they were in Green Bay for the annual alumni weekend, but this year it lasted two games and was highly successful.

NFL Hall of Famers Jim Taylor and Willie Davis

The scheduling gods or some computer in the bowels of NFL headquarters have given the Packers a unique opening to the season. After handing the Bears the first of many losses during their year of discontent (I work with two Bears fans and my niece of all people is a Bear fan, but I've made her 4-year son a Packer Backer, so I'm kind of happy)....where was I? I remember (by the way I also got my memory back and that's pretty sublime)...oh no, I got off on another tangent...now where was I? Scroll back...the schedule.

After the Bears game the Packers had three demon-killing games in a row and with the Best of the Best in attendance the Packers beat the Seahawks for the first time in the ex-Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson era and handed the Chiefs their first loss at Lambeau Field.



The Golden Boy Paul Hornung

By the logic of Spock the greatest Packers in the house must be the reason the Packers won the first two games of the trifecta. So the only thing I say is bring those guys back and let them move into the new Titletown District Hotel and the Packers will never lose at home again.

Newest NFL Hall of Famer Dave Robinson

This week the third game is against the most loathsome piece of crap that ever was flushed down the toilet and flowed through the sewer system Colin Kaepernick.

Should be NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Kramer

This tattooed egotistical diaper load has owned the Packers since he arrived in the league and I say his honey ride stops this Sunday at the stadium of thugs and haters.

Paul Coffman, John Brockington

So while their new digs are getting ready Ted Thompson needs to pry open his puckered coin purse and pay for the Super Bowl I and Hall of Fame Packers to travel to San Francisco and make it 3-0. It would be glorious.

Zeke Bratkowski, John Anderson, Donny Anderson

In case you were wondering among the Super Bowl I alumni in attendance were #44 Donny Anderson, #57 Ken Bowman, #12 Zeke Bratkowski, #83 Allen Brown, #40 Tom Brown, #50 Bill Curry, #84 Carroll Dale, #87 Willie Davis, #86 Boyd Dowler, #81 Marv Fleming, #33 Jim Grabowski, #75 Forrest Gregg, #43 Doug Hart, #45 Dave Hathcock, #5 Paul Hornung, #64 Jerry Kramer, #80 Bob Long, #27 Red Mack, #89 Dave Robinson, #76 Bob Skoronski, #31 Jim Taylor, #37 Phil Vandersea, and #72 Stephen Wright.

Among the Packers Hall of Famers were #59 John Anderson, #42 John Brockington, #28 Willie Buchanon, #36 Leroy Butler, #42 Al Carmichael, #82 Paul Coffman, #66/31Fred Cone, #58 Dan Currie, #10/12 Lynn Dickey, #31 Gerry Ellis, #48 Ken Ellis, #86 Antonio Freeman, #94 Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, #24 Johnnie Gray, #30/34 Ahman Green, #13 Chris Jacke, #90/78 Ezra Johnson, #84 Gary Knafelc, #88 Ron Kramer, #80 James Lofton, #5/7 Don Majkowski, #13 Chester Marcol, #39/83 John Martinkovic, #37 Mark Murphy, #75 Ken Ruettgers and #52 Frank Winters.

Frankie 'Ol' Bag o' Donuts' Winters

In addition, two other Hall of Famers, #36 LeRoy Butler and #75 Ken Ruettgers made appearances at various locations, as per the regular home game custom.

LeRoy Butler

SUBLIME SCORING:

John Anderson, Chris Jacke, Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila

It turned out it was Kicker All-Time Leading Scorer night at Lambeau FieldSunday against Seahawks with four former and the new scoring leader all on the same field.

Chester Marcol

On hand to pass the torch to Mason Crosby were Chris Jacke (1989-96), who broke the record of Chester Marcol (1972-80), who broke the record of NFL Hall of Famer Paul Hornung (1957-66), who broke the record of Fred Cone (1951-57), who broke Don Hutson's original record.

Fred Cone

The only all-time kickers missing were Ryan Longwell (1997-05), who held the record Crosby broke and broke the record of Jacke, and he wasn't there because he isn't in the Packer Hall of Fame yet and Hutson, who passed away on June 26, 1997.

THE ULTIMATE SUBLIME:

The greatest players in NFL history and a custom that has two former Greats at every home game. It's good to be a Packer Backer.

THE RIDICULOUS:

Have you ever seen the commercials for NFL GameDay? How hard up for money are those guys? That commercial with them in a couple's living room is especially embarrassing.

The Guys of NFL GameDay

Rich Eisen makes only egotistical commercials. Michael Irvin and Deion Sanders are..........I can't use that language here. Steve Mariucci has become Sanders, Jr. and now it seems Marshall Faulk, Kurt Warner and LaDamian Tomlinson have bought in to acting as silly as Irvin. Too bad. Then you have that laughing hyena Kevin Frasier from Entertainment Tonight who fits right in with the other fools. I don't know who Chris Rose and Dan Heller are and Melissa Starks is the token girl, so why bother with them.
