NFL Network puts out a DVD every year of the previous SB winner where they take 3 players or coaches from the team and they narrate specific games / plays / moments from the entire season through the SB.

MM, AR12, and Charles Woodson are featured on the 2010 Packers version.

NFL Network will offer the DVD as a 2010 version. You can currently buy an Americas Game set of the 1966, 67, and 96 Packers. The set will be updated to include all 4 SB's shortly.

"Because if you pay over four bucks for a cup of coffee and they fill it up with half foam, I struggle with that a little bit."

I knew there was a reason I like him. That's what I have when I go to Starbucks. I can't afford to go every day, though.

Of course, I have a triple shot...

yes it was. play of the game.

That play was insane. Especially when you see the view from behind the QB. AR throws that ball to a spot where it should have been intercepted or at least deflected.

No, he didn't. He literally had a window that was millimeters wide, and he hit the bulls eye. It was the single greatest throw I have ever seen a GBP QB make in my lifetime.

not to mention a great catch.

GB used that play repeatedly to torch the Steelers. Jennings told Rodgers if they ran the play from the same set but he broke to the corner instead of the seam he would be all alone. That's what they did on the TD in the 4th.

On the 3rd and 10 play in the last drive. The Steelers pretty much knew it was coming, had perfect coverage, and still couldn't stop it. With the game on the line, in that situation, protecting a 3 point lead with a beat up secondary, it was the greatest pass I've ever seen.

After the game, a reporter asked Driver if he could believe AR12 threw the pass on a such critical down to a guy that was absolutely not open.

"Yeah, that was a cocky pass".

What a difference...

The TD


3rd and 10




No need to post the pic of Favre locked on Driver.

Not to knock AR because he had the guts and confidence to throw those balls into tight coverage, but both of those passes could have or should have been deflected.

Jennings' concentration and clutch catches with defenders' hands swiping at the ball right in front of him are the real keys to those completions.

IMO JMO IMHO

“He either fears his fate too much,
Or his deserts are small,
That puts it not unto the touch
To win or lose it all”


That's the difference between greatness and laying up

Prudence has never hoisted the Lombardi Trophy... and she never will

Very glad GB has a QB with the nuts and guts to make throws like this and WR's like Jennings who've got the focus to catch a ball in tight coverage knowing someone like a Polomalu might blow him up any second.

8 more days to celebrate a Championship, put it in the rear view mirror, then go and add a 5th Lombardi.

Real men just stop by Kwik Trip for 64 oz. of trucker coffee and a smoke.

I see MM as a Dunkin Donuts guy that bring's in a refillable travel mug that he's owned since 1998.

I've tried really hard to picture MM at the Starbucks counter ordering a venti skinny vanilla latte, no foam and I can't do it. When I try and picture it, "Big Black coffee" is all he ever says.

Just when you think you're starting to figure him out, he goes and does something like this.

ChilliJon- I peg you for the type of guy who grills mass amounts of red meat and consumes equally massive amounts of red wine (from a box or otherwise) and then sits down and watches Packer recap shows like this over and over again, analyzing each play with a fine toothed comb until you fall asleep on your couch with little Aaron Rodgers floating in your head. Just a hunch.

All spot on. Only additions would be the occasional filthy vodka rocks with two olives and Rodgers is always wearing the home throwback. I dig the home throwback's!

Big fan of C.J. Spiller?

I have to agree. When you take into consideration that it was in the Super Bowl, against the best defense in the league, the world watching, and just how perfect the pass had to be....I can't think of anything that comes close.

Here it is again. And Greg's reaction after the play was over...how can you not love the guy?




I could watch this all day.

The combo is deadly.

Bingo.

My fantasy draft is tonight, and I'm going to do everything possible to make sure at the end of the evening, Rodgers and Jennings are on my team (Finley, too).

The numbers these guys will put up are going to be just stupid.

His initial reaction certainly appears to be jubilation for the great play, but then, just before he turns to head back to the huddle, he looks/screams into his hands... what might have been if he skipped out of the tackle?

Polamalu just got him on the hip with his helmet and that's what cost Jennings his balance on that play

Simply Awesome

FF to the 31 second mark. Ike Taylor got a fingernail on the ball and Jennings still caught it. Perfect coverage that was beat by a perfect pass with some serious velocity and great concentration. Destined for Ice Bowl status.

It was a great play, no question. But its not in the league of the Ice Bowl, sorry. The Packers' final drive to win, given the way the game had played out to that point, the conditions, and the historical implications, make it IMO the greatest clutch drive in NFL history. Starr's playcalling on that series was staggering.

The Ice Bowl will always be the defining play / game for the Packers. Lombardi, Starr, the HOF fame talent playing in that game on both sides, the drive, Starr talking Lombardi into the sneak. The game made Lambeau Field a celebrity. Not going to argue that.

But IMO 20 years from now the 3rd and 10 play will be talked about in the same regard. It's an addition to the legacy.

Had our draft last Saturday. Ended up with both Rodgers and Jennings. Couldn't grab Finley though. I got hazed a bit for taking Rodgers/a QB with the first overall pick, but I am very, very confident in my choice.

Just that segment gave me goosebumps. I might pass out cold trying to watch the AG in it's entirety. Can't wait.

I don't belittle the IB at all. But at the time that game happened, it didn't have the weight it now has - after everything that proceeded it. The SB's they won AFTER the IB amplified it to what it now is. We'll see how the next several years play out and if it's following history amplifies 3rd and 10.

Jennings reaction seemed more of his realization of how close he was to having the game breaking TD reception. That would have been one epic dagger play. 3rd and 10 and backed up in Packer territory and having the game on the line to having the Super Bowl game winning TD seconds later would have been euphoric.

"We're gonna be champions tonight."

Then he goes out and makes that throw?

Think they'll believe him when he says that in the future?

What a story....

Absolute best throw I've ever seen by any QB.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

I'd also add that he'd never leave DD without a coffee tie and he'd cram down about 4 crullers while he waited for his coffee to be poured and yacked it up with the staff for a minute. Or less.

"I struggle with that a little bit."

BTW - Do the Green Bay Starbuck's also have the obligatory douchebag with a pony tail, Coke-bottle lenses and a laptop sneering at everyone even though he's the only one without a job in them? Seems like the company issues one of those guys for every single branch. Even the POS Starbuck's in my frickin grocery store comes standard with one of those idiots every time I walk in there. Those a-holes make me stabby. WTF are you doing at a grocery store Starbuck's at 6:30 at night?

I'd happily pay the Obligatory Starbuck's Douchebag the $15/ month it would cost for him to go sit on the balcony of some tourist trap resort. Especially if it meant I didn't have to look at the real-life equivalent of chickenboy every time a guy needed some cold cold beers and a frozen pizza.
