Came upon the first one last week but never posted it:

Harris and Woodson: Anthrax & Cyanide.

^ I'm thinking there's an idea for a sweet sig.

Nick Barnett: Horror Show.

Thanks DB. Enjoyed.

Interesting NFL protocol. Veterans are the ones "suppose" to initiate.'Would have thot the youngster be the one to approach but then again makes sense that no-one goes up to vet unless he initiates. Funny. Political correctness even in sports.

Our favorite Green Bay fan in the media has more nice things to say

Sportsline Power Rankings

At 9-1, they're the best team in the NFC right now, in my opinion. Yes, better than the Dallas Cowboys and here's why: They can cover.

Jason Campbell showed that the Cowboys have some issues defending the pass Sunday and the Packers can counter with the best pair of corners in the league in Charles Woodson and Al Harris. They'll be on the Detroit receivers like Madden on a turkey leg.

Those two are a big reason I've kept the Packers ranked ahead of the Cowboys in the CBSSports.com Power Rankings. They're also a big reason why I think the Packers might be able to match up with New England. I said "might," so don't stone me, New England fans.

ESPN's Power Rankings

Finally ahead of the Colts.

Only two other teams in the Packers' 87-year history have gotten off to better starts than this year's 9-1 club ... and both times Green Bay won the NFL title. The 2007 version can basically wrap up the NFC North crown with a win Thursday at Detroit.

Basically ESPN is saying the Packers need to beat Detroit on Turkey Day and Dallas to take over the #2 spot; I bet it will still pain them to do it.
