Packers Stuff! Wheee!

I'm not old enough to remember Fran Tarkenton, or to know that I should probably hate hit guts. I hated him because he played for the Vikings. However, he has totally redeemed himself to me. He is now my favorite Viking of all time. He really is "despicable".

Donald Driver probably shouldn't be holding out. While it is a little unclear if he really is or not. I think that ProFootballTalk has it exactly right when they say that the longer he holds out, the more likely it is that the Packers will just cut him. It is unfortunate if he is holding out. He is allegedly the second highest paid player on the team, and is probably nowhere near the second best player. He is an asset to the community, seems like a really nice guy (at least on TV), and doesn't do stupid shit (or at least doesn't get caught). And he's been very good for a long time. But at this point, he doesn't have a whole lot of bargaining power. This could cost him a lot of money in the long run. If the Packers traded away Javon Walker and Mike McKenzie in their primes, don't think for a second they wouldn't get rid of Driver.

And Kampan is bitter about having to cover receivers.

Overall, not a real good start to the season. Only 2 1/2 months till the first preseason game!
