How Sweet It Is...
SOURCE:Uncle Gare
It may not have been pretty, but then again, neither are the Viqueens....
Hey, look who's talking trash. Guess a guy can feel a little frisky when the Packers come out of the Metrodome with a win against those jerks in the Purple...
Once again another game full of cheap shots and unsportsmanlike conduct from the hosts of Sunday's contest in Minnesota. But that's nothing new nor does it surprise anybody. And even after all the whining and crying, the trash talking and the extra shoving, Minnesota couldn't hold up against a Packers team who didn't self-destruct. And to beat them in their own house was frosting on the cake.
As for the game, it was great to watch. There were some tense moments as you sat wondering where the Packers were going to throw this one away and it came right down to the last ditch effort of that on-side kick Minnesota tried. I could just see those guys recovering it and then march down the field to steal the win.
However, it wasn't to be and instead, after I calmed down and took a look back, I realized it was a good game on a lot of different fronts for Green Bay. It was a combined effort for the Packers as nearly everyone on the team contributed in a big way to get the victory. And almost before I could analyze all the good things the Packers accomplished, I couldn't seem to get clear of the thought of what-might-have-been. What kind of year would Green Bay be having right now if they had managed to win the games they threw away? Easily they could be 7-2, a game behind Chicago in the north Division.

Packers to install new turf in 2007
SOURCE:packers.com
Technically speaking, it will still be the Frozen Tundra.
But the Green Bay Packers' announcement on Thursday that it will switch to a new grass surface at Lambeau Field that includes synthetic fibers is another indication that technology and times change.
"We are trying to move forward with the times," Packers Chairman Bob Harlan said. "It's just a more durable field."
The new turf - a natural grass surface reinforced with man-made fibers - will be installed in time for next season. DD GrassMaster, as the turf is known, will be installed on top of a completely new drainage and heating system.
The new system will be identical to the playing surface at Clark Hinkle Field. The coaches and the players love the surface there, Harlan said, so it made sense to put it in place at Lambeau Field.
The Packers made the decision after years of sodding and re-sodding Lambeau Field. Season-ticket holders know that, as the season wears on, so does the field. The middle portion of the field was just re-sodded for the remainder of the 2006 season.
