November 29th will undoubtedly one of my favorite days of the year. That’s because 24 years ago—yours truly was born.
But there will be no elaborate birthday dinners, no girls night out, and certainly no drinks that end with the suffix “-tini.” No, instead, I will be parked on my couch or at the local sports bar partaking in all you can eat wings, dollar beers, and of course watching two NFC titans battle for Thursday night supremacy: The Cowboys vs. The Packers.
Now that the Pats/Colts game is out of the way, that Thursday night game is shaping up to be one of the biggest games left in the regular season. At 8-1 right now, both teams boast two of the best offenses in the league. But aside from their records, the two teams share little else.
Green Bay is led by NFL legend Brett Favre, who you know has to be smiling to himself as he continues to prove that his skills are like a fine wine—they get better with age. He has the experience, but does he have the supporting cast (AKA their bottom-ranked running game) to get them all the way to Arizona? My heart says yes.. my head says .. no chance. Because while the tundra at Lambeau Field may have frozen over, hell: has not.
The Cowboys guns are just too loaded, even for a team as good as the Packers. Last Sunday’s game against the Giants proved just that. In a “New Jersey-ian” packed hostile environment, the Cowboys’ defense overwhelmed Manning. Peyton’s little brother spent so much time with his face in the dirt, I think he may have found Jimmy Hoffa.
It’s been a while since this match-up has carried a significant amount of weight in terms of a trip to the Superbowl–1997 to be exact. The match-up of Tony Romo and Brett Favre may just prove to be more enticing than the current Brady/Manning storyline or even the Favre/Aikman ones of the 90s. So the ultimate test of youthful talent vs. veteran experience will come to fruition in Dallas on Thursday Night Football in a couple weeks.

Not sure what kind of traffic this site gets, but I’m thinking it would increase exponentially if they had a new gallery of Jenn each week…if not by the day or hour. I’m just trying to help. It’s what I do!
My heart and mind says the Packers have what it takes to be the sacrificial lamb to the Patriots. Ryan Grant has run for over a 100 yards in 3 of the last five games. And don’t forget about the D. They always seem to come up big when they need to. Farve has talented young receivers and has been hooked up to the rejuvenation machine. I am one happy Green Bay Packer fan!
Is there an opening at FSU? Jenn.. 8-0
