The comical part is if it was a blank green jersey, or had 12 instead of 6 on it, it wouldn't be an issue at all. The only reason it's an issue is because Sanchez is an active player (so favoritism gets called into question), and a lightning rod at that.

Rex is weird, no question about that but where are all the pictures of Giant players ****ing off on vacation? The media's flat out on a witch hunt now and this should never have seen the light of day. Not now. If Rex is flexing in the locker room on his own time, fine but the season's over. There's no reason for the media to be hounding him on vacation except for vindictiveness - and the fact the Jets stupidly ran out on the media after the season, so they got their 'revenge' now.

as for manning, i'm not saying the falcons would beat him, but if he won it wouldn't be because they're in a dome. that's just silly.
It definitely wouldn't be the sole reason he wins, but he's the best dome QB of all time. Most great QBs are even better indoors, but he takes it to a whole new level. He's something like 25-3 in his last 28 dome games

What do the Giants have to do with this? There have been 2 players, hell 2 people in the entire organization in the past 5 seasons that have brought negative light to the team which in contrast to the Jets negativity, was nothing, and both of those players (Shockey and Jacobs) were shown the door - it is the way the organization and especially head coach operates, very similar to the Devils

The Jets and especially Rex constantly bring negative and just in general, attention to themselves and being in the biggest media market in the world with tabloids on every street corner hasn't helped, it's been a horrible combo - as wrong as what the reporter(s) in the Bahamas is/are doing, Rex has made himself a target and unfortunately it has come to the point where he is being stalked for news stories while on vacation

That could be a good thing for the Vikes. Packers haven't studied much of him I'm guessing.

starting a guy with 0 passes on the year is never a good thing. He can run, yeah, but who cares if he cant throw

Agreed, and he has been on the field over Webb for every single play this season. That should speak to what Webb is.

Haha that is true. Just saying that anything can throw off a defense, especially the Packers d. It's not very impressive. Well, only against the Bears

Ponder's a former first-round pick, Webb's like a fifth-sixth rounder? He wasn't going to be benched in his second year when the Vikings are winning.

That's an incredible statistic. More than a little embarrassing for those QBs.

Far , Far more embarrassing for Dalton

Vikes look absolutely awful ,, I knew this would happen when they won game last week to end Bears season

And they screw up a punt ,, Packers ball deep in Vikes field now

Watching the Vikings' quarterback, I dont understand how Tebow gets as much crap as he does.

This Webb guy cant pass gas.

I'm curious if the Vikings would have done better with Ponder in, and I think that the answer is no. They'd still get buried by the Packers.

My predictions for tomorrow: Seahawks lose, colts lose.

After that:
Falcons over redskins
Packers over 49ers
Broncos over ravens
Patriots over texans

Packers over Falcons
Patriots over broncos

Patriots over packers.

It would have depended on which version of Ponder showed up, although even with him they would have lost. It just might have been a little closer. They're too one dimensional offensively, and Rodgers has always owned them.

I didn't expect the Vikings to make the playoffs to begin with, so I was just enjoying the ride. Good luck to the Packers the rest of the playoffs. I don't like anybody else left, so I'll probably go for them.
