GO PACKERS!!!!!

I thought I'd post a pic of my little Packer good luck charm :)

The Packers are just a few hours away from playing in the NFC Championship. Who'd a thunk it? I wish I had had the time this year to blog about their season like I did last year. This season was truly magical. It all starts with the play of the top-dog, Brett Favre. He turned 38 this year and he's playing like he's 28. It has been a complete joy to watch him break record after record each week and do it with the giddiness of a 12-year old. Then you've got a running back by the name of Ryan Grant. He didn't even start until the 8th game of the season and he ended the season in second place for yardage. Now that's impressive. You've got an excellent receiving core, led by Donald Driver. Before the season everyone thought the Packers were too young at receiver. They are - no doubt - but they're good. Then you've got the Defense, led by a hit-em-in-the-mouth (that's for you Ross ;) ) front four, followed by outstanding linebackers and one of the best tandems at cornerback in the NFL in Al Harris and Charles Woodson. The Pack finished the season with a 13-3 record, coasted past the Seahawks in what will forever be known as the Snow Bowl and here they are, getting ready to play for a trip to Arizona in 2 weeks for Superbowl 42. Today's game promises to be legendary, too. They temperature at kick-off is supposed to be 2 degrees...this game might very well go down in history known as Ice Bowl II. Go Packers!!!
