Vikings Week

I flew in from CA for that game in AZ due to my son having tickets.

He was injured when he was upended and tackled on his shoulder by Freddie Joe Nunn of the Phoenix Cardinals, who drew a personal foul on the play. At first thought to be a bruise, Majkowski's injury turned out to be more serious, a torn rotator cuff. The Packers finished the season with backups Anthony Dilweg and Blair Kiel. During the 1991 season, Majkowski was benched by head coach Lindy Infante and replaced by Mike Tomczak as starter, but resumed starting duties at the beginning of 1992. On a play on September 20 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Majkowski tore a ligament in his ankle in the first quarter. He was replaced by 22-year-old Brett Favre, who completed the game, a one-point victory, and went on to start every Packers game through 2007.

AND Graham got our only TD. If we can just work Tonyan into the mix....

I believe Tonyan did get a first down pass....

I know it's early, but Tonyan and Kumerow need to see the field more.  Both of those boys can play. 

You suggesting some white affirmative action?

Dilweed and Keel. Good times...

Two awesome Packers.

Two sucky X4 posters. 

truth

Didn't Dilweg win that game in AZ?
To the delight of grandpa  Lavern Dilweg.

Oops, gramps was dead by then.
LaVern Ralph "Lavvie" Dilweg (November 1, 1903 – January 2, 1968) was a professional football player, attorney, and U.S. Congressman from Wisconsin.

Damn, if he only held on for another 23 years he could have seen it. 

I seem to remember Dilweg being called "The Wizard" after winning a game filling in for "Majik".  Packer fans were desperate for any hint of success back then.

I stood at a urinal next to the real Blair Kiel ( at some bar in Glendale on Port Washington Road) after he stunk up the place in a pre-season game in Milwaukee.

Some random guy gave him shit. I actually felt bad for him.

Never shared that before because I just remembered it....and no, I didn’t check out his junk, Fedya.

But you did notice he was wearing a fancy watch, right?

Kiel was just making sure the urinal cake had been properly changed. 

Ian Rap is reporting that Bak is planning to play today. 

Spriggs?
Where the hell did he come from?

I wondered that too. I thought he was completely gone.

I stood at a urinal next to US Senator Richard Lugar. Actually, he stood next to ma as I was the only person in the bathroom in a line of 15 empty urinals when Lugar walked in and stood in the urinal next to mine.

And he did check out my junk, the creepy little pervert!

If released injured and not claimed the injured player reverts to the original teams IR.

Any foot tapping?

#Packers inactives: Burks, Hollman, Keke, Madison, Patrick, Shepherd and D. Williams. Bakhtiari is active, and so is Alex Light this week.

Wish they'd get Keke out there.

I am not a fan of the way Bert exited GB but how does it differ from when Taylor got mad and played out his option to sign with the Saints?

Like the guest who is sleeping on the couch and won't leave?

Vikings Players listed as Out:

CB Mackensie Alexander, G Pat Elflein, CB Mike Hughes, LB Ben Gedeon, OL Odi Udoh, DL Armon Watts, DL Jalyn Holmes

Two CBs out? Five receiver sets, do it MLF

Saw a bit on Fox pre-game show that ARod will be using a wrist band in an effort to get some calls relayed from the sidelines quicker. Primarily short down/distance, goal-line plays, etc., not necessarily for every play.

And in that same show Troy commented that he hated it and thought that it actually made the decision making process slower. He said that it took time away from checking out the alignments. In effect it was spending too much time on the play and less time on the players. That was my take anyway.

If you spot anyone taking a peek just throw “Are you crazy! Keep your eyes on your mop, man!!!” at them in your best Ellis Boyd Redding voice. Totally disorients them.  

Getting ready to check out at Costco. 

Anyone need anything for the game?
