    The NFL changed the ownership rules in 1961 to prohibit any more setups like the one in Green Bay.

    1961? Wow. OK, thanks; sorry my memory as a 6-year-old is starting to leave me.

    That's no excuse.

    We've been discussing this as a possible solution in Buffalo, but there's probably no way to convince the other owners to change their Constitution and Bylaws to permit it. Truth is, without community ownership, the Packers wouldn't have lasted past 1923. (Yeah, you probably don't remember that, either ...)

    From the PFRA recap of the 1923 league meeting:

    No surprise here, Packers extend Aaron Rodgers contract through 2014:

    Did all the Packer Backers throw in an extra $5 to pay for the contract?

    Terrell Owens is done.
    He hasn't had a 100 yard receiving game since last December and doesn't seem destined to have one any time soon. His side line meltdown, this Sunday in New York, is already in the planning stages. He won't be able to resist going into full demented mode on National TV in NY.

    Since 1999, he has been on the field for exactly 1 playoff win.(BTW his butt buddy, ocho cinco, has never participated in a playoff victory.)

    His butt buddy? Please let us know when you finish the fifth grade, heyabbott.

    6-10? Come on now, what exactly have the Lions done in the first seven weeks to make you think they are capable of winning a game.

    0-16 and No. 1 draft pick here we come. And with that No. 1 draft pick, the Lions select LSU kicker Colt David.

    The Culpepper deal now apparaently sealed.

    Confirming my original opinion that the Roy Williams trade was a complete fluke, and every single last person in the organization who ever spent more than 30 seconds alone in a room with Matt Millen should be shot in the head and thrown off the Ambassador Bridge.

    Terrell Owens is far from being done. His low numbers are a combination of a) constant double coverage due to the lack of a credible second option (until the Roy Williams trade); b) the head-scratching inability of Jason Garrett to scheme a way to get T.O. into the mix; c) the Romo injury and the abysmal play of Brad Johnson, who we now know has no business being in uniform; and d) a number of his catches was nullified because Flozell Adams was flagged for holding.

    When Romo comes back after the bye next week, you'll see Owens' numbers up dramatically. That offense will be scary good ... if Garrett doesn't screw it up.

    Packers start with a three-and-out...in like 20 seconds.
