I got a little behind there at the end of the half let's do a little rapid fire commenting and show you that Peterson truck stick on Al Harris....
Kornheiser sounds like Bill Swerski tonight. I'm surprised he hasn't asked retorically what the score would be if Brett Farve played the Vikings by himself. (Via Anon)
Anybody else think of "To Catch a Predator" the way Jaws said that LOVES young quarterbacks. (Via Anon)
What's with the band on the sideline? although it does go perfect with the high school caliber football we're seeing. (Via Anon)
Someone should tell ESPN that there are other Metallica songs than Fuel. (Via The Brain)
Hi, I'm Tony Korniheiser, with Mike Tirico. Welcome to "Monday Night Favreball" (Via PM)
8:43- So let me get this straight? ESPN replaced "Jacked Up" with something called "Sunday Thunder" that featured two highlights and one was of the Bears defense making boring tackles? FAIL. Second half is getting underway shortly....
AA, you've failed to realize that simply making a tackle has become a spectacular feat for my Bears. (Via PM)
Touche'.
"I'm going to put a Favre moratorium on the Second Half. You only get five mentions!"- Mike Tirico
Liar. Vikings ball to start the half. There goes Jackson again....gain of eighteen on a scramble. He follows it up with a nice pass in rhythm to Berrian who almost breaks it. Woodson gets him by the shoelaces. Another Jackson completion and this is a drive. Oh wow! Berrian had the ball tipped to him in the back of the endzone but he can only get one foot down.
Vikings get a FG and it's 10-6 now.
8:55- "Our cheese curds are saltier than your cheese curds."- Tony Kornheiser
Go away please. Packers ball and Rodgers opens up the drive with a strike to Driver, but there's a penalty. 3rd and 9....complete but short. The Pack will punt. Allison goes for six yards and it will be Vikes ball near their own 20. Let's here "Fuel" again by Metallica! Commercial.
"Driver! He got Winfield to bite, and says 'good night!'" - Mike Tirico (Via Jay and JFein)
"Tries to get it to his fullback, Thomas Tapeh but Collin Jenkins was knocking him on his bottom."- Mike Tirico
Great pass to from Jackson to Sianicoe and he is blasted! Fumble...wait, incomplete. Wait again, it was a catch and the ground caused the fumble. Either way...it's a challenged and it's incomplete. Sorry I dosed off there for a second.
9:10- Great! A Michael Phelps mention!!! Keep it up guys....you're doing great. Jackson on a third and long hits Chester Taylor and he picks up the first.
Michael Phelps' performance in the Olympics was Favre-esque. (Via PM)
The drive stalls out and Kluwe punts again. Blackmon gets loose!
"Cutting back, he needs two more blocks. He got one.......he got the other one! Touchdown Green Bay!"- Mike Tirico
Great call on that one by Tirico and a great return. 17-6 Packers with 6 minutes left.
"He was too pooped to leap."- Tony Kornheiser
9:19- Those are pretty boring cheerleader uniforms. Is this a BYU game or something? (Via Mal)
I'm pretty sure the Packers don't have official cheerleaders anymore and that they use local highschool kids. I could be wrong though.
"And the Packers saying to the Jets if you trade him at all you lose you first born for fifty three years or something like that."- Tony Kornheiser
Why did we just get a picture of the 0-0, 1st Quarter scoreboard at the bottom for about 15 seconds? (Via Bazooka Jones) Good question, but here's the picture....
So unfunny. Jackson is crushed with a blindside sack but KGB was offsides on the play. 3rd and 6 for the Vikings and Jackson gets another scrambling first down. The Vikes are out to the 40 now. Nice little drive. Another first down as Peterson goes over 100 yards and Minny is in GB territory.
Jackson picks up some more yards and it'll be 3rd and 1 to start the 4th quarter. 17-6 Packers after three.
9:31- Vikings come up short on third down and it'll be 4th and 1. They're going for it.....Jackson throws....
Sidney Rice is wide open for six! They go for two and...no good. 17-12 now.
Great play by Jackson and it happened right as Tirico and Jaws were saying they would have kicked the Field Goal. They were right, but hopefully it shuts them up a bit.
"Way to second guess yourself after they score the touchdown. That's twice you've done that tonight."- Tony Kornheiser
Blackmon brings it out past the twenty and here comes Aaron Rodgers again. Tavaris J. is now a stellar 8 for 21 passing and the Packers defense seems to be running out of gas. Rodgers to Humphrey for about seven and Grant picks up the rest for a first down.
