Very much off topic but then invoking Barry Sanders doesn't really have much to do with the Eagles, Vikings or even the Rodger-less Packers team of 2017 either-

Rocky as I read your comments in this section I was noticing how much your English has improved from when you were at 15. It is better than many for whom English is their primary language. I had to correct my spelling at least a half dozen times in this post.

I loved your analogy of the Ford Escort complete with worn tires and rust. (I can see anyone from the Upper Midwest of the U.S. using it.) Lost in your excellent example is the understanding that anyone who would be adept at sticking the M240i engine into the Escort would be able to make ALL the necessary modifications in order for it to fit and run the car. Also lost is the basic understanding that you tried to express. The "WHY WOULD ANYONE EVEN BOTHER TO WASTE THE ENGINE LIKE THAT?"

Your comment made me wonder do they salt the roads in Europe like they do here? In northern Illinois if we get a few flakes the trucks are out pouring salt all over the place. It wasn't always like this. I am nearly 60 and I remember a time when they only plowed and salted major intersections. The crazy American judicial system has forced the overuse of salt creating the rust issues on cars.

Yeah... That analogy kinda falls through when you spent more than 3 seconds thinking about it.

And yes. They start salting them whenever there's even the slightest chance of slippery roads. Horrible for rust reasons and keeping your car clean, but a total blessing if you live in a part of Europe where it doesn't snow or totally freeze over that often. There's enough people spinning out and crashing with salted roads, as it is.

The 15-1 season was the 2011 season, the playoff game against the Giants that I’m speaking of was actually in January of 2012.
Favre was long gone.
It was the playoff game against the Giants after the 2007 season that Favre was acting like a cold little girl.
That’s when I was for sure done with him, HOF QB or not.

I remember the Journal's breakdown of the entire second half...Favre sucked. Especially that play. The JS presented photographic evidence from the overhead camera showing Favre had 4 WIDE OPEN guys and chose to throw to (under-threw at that) a very well covered Donald Driver.

Major (one of many) flaws in my character that comes off even more terribly via internet. In person, I usually get laughed at in disbelief of clueless a breathing person could actually be.

And to Wayne, the Barry Sanders comment had nothing to do with Eagles and Vikings. It was about the notion of rating a team after removing it's best player. It'd be like ... well go read it again and comprehend the point! (can't believe clueless ME gets to tell that to someone!! lucky day bahaha) ... only messing around.

Speaking of Eagles and Vikings. Saw on Twitter someone said must be a real bitch that the Vikings have to clean out their lockers so the team that kicked their ass can use them. I kinda love it!

Sorry Zero. I felt like you were trying to egg me on. I felt I was clear on what I said.
By saying being stupid on purpose, I meant I felt you were not TRYING to get what I was saying.
Not that you are stupid. You are one of the smartest people I know.
I apologize.

It's just that easy eh? ... The fact that we have Aaron Rodgers IS the reason. Neither of those teams have had to pay their starting QB yet. Next.

Actually for Minny, the combined cap hit for Bradford and Keenum, was quite close to the hit for Aaron. You are correct for Philly though.
