Favre's in town today to pay tribute to Starr.

Apparently, he won't be at the game, though.

He'll be there. How could he pass up a chance to watch the best QB in team history in action?

He said when he cancelled his planned appearance that he would get to a game before the end of the season.

Let me know when Majkowski shows up. These other kids is just child's play compared to The Magic Man.

Neither Favre nor the Majik Man ever threw for six TDs.

1. Majkowski was sending pictures of his wiener to people via snail mail before Favre ever dreamed about texting women his wiener. #innovator
2. Majkowski has better hair than either of them. #stud
3. Majkowski could have thrown for six TDs in one possession if he wanted to. #dealwithit

"First-round safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix has been everything the Packers hoped, locking down the starting job. Among safeties playing at least 75 percent of their defense's snaps, Clinton-Dix ranks fourth in the NFL with 12 catches allowed and eighth with 135 yards allowed, according to Pro Football Focus. He's one of eight safeties to not allow a touchdown this season.

Clinton-Dix's 37 yards allowed after the catch are second in the league behind only Seattle Seahawks All-Pro safety Earl Thomas."

I remember after the draft McGinn wrote a column saying he heard that Ted Thompson was dying inside as the draft was unfolding because he wanted one of CJ Mosely, Ryan Shazier, Calvin Pryor, or Dix. Then three of the four all get picked 15-18 before the Packers selection and there were still two more picks left before 21 where the Packers were at.

It would be interesting to know if Ted could have had his choice of those four guys at the time who he'd have chosen? McGinn thought it likely was Shazier, but he wasn't certain. Either way, it goes to show just what torture draft night has to be for GM's when they target certain players and then seeing them all flying off the board close to when you pick, only being left to desperately hope one of them will still be left when your pick comes up.

It would suck too because you have to decide whether the teams in front of you want HHC-D or if you think he's going to fall to you. You have to decide in a few minutes are they going to take him. If I think they are how much can I offer to get them to accept a deal to move back. What's the absolute limit on how much I'm going to give up before I just roll the dice and take my chances on him falling to me.
