Jeanette - Hockey is a Canadian version of tang.
Grab a parter and go at it.

Since this WAS a football thread..................................
Did ya know that Romo was born and bred in Wisconsin around 30 miles from us in Burlington?
Your sole pro bowler from last year. Although I think he is the real deal...with two aging wide receivers (one terribly disruptive)....I'm guessing your gonna be watching others play in the playoffs. Preferably those in green and gold. Alot of it depends on TO's attitude with the new coaching staff.
Who do we have other than Farve..... Mark down Greg Jennings WR. I'm guessing that he will be quite a player in the near future. His freshman year was rather good. Hopefully he can avoid a sophomore slump. We also have a guy called Donald Driver.....another pro bowler.... and a host of young guys on the "O" line that really started to solidify down the stretch, showing promise for this next season. Don't forget the solid young linbackers that we have, plus Aaron Kampman (another pro bowler from this last season).
Although I don't like the guy...there's quite a bit of talk that Randy Moss may make it to Green Bay this next season. Say what you will...a combo of Brett, Driver, and Moss would be tough to stop with good protection up front.
To me our biggest question mark is running back. I'm guessing that they will address that in the draft. With the blocking scheme we are using now....there is less need for a big name back (although it never hurts)....Just look at how Denver has run the last few years (we're using their scheme).....Multiple backs that produce......
I'm really looking forward to next season......It should be telling about the coach and if he has the guts to get the job done in the long run.
I'm starving for football news.......Not much of a fan of any other professional sports.........so I'm looking forward to draft day.

Don't forget my Pro Bowl punter (McBriar) -- he was AMAZING last year ... and Pro Bowlers DeMarcus Ware and Roy Williams!
To answer your question, yes, I knew Tony was from your "neck of the woods".
If you're that excited about Moss joining the team, I'd be happy to send TO to y'all. Imagine that ... TO & Moss together. Wow.
Don't let Mr. Jones hear me say this but I'm hoping we pick up a wide receiver in the draft. A little hotshot guy showing up TO might be just what we need around here.
I'm coming around on Wade Phillips (coach). He wasn't my first choice but he may have what it takes to get these guys in shape. He also seems to have a really good handle on his staff -- people actually like him.
If Phillips can shore up our defense (that fell apart in the last month of the '06 season), we'll be in good shape. Looking forward to seeing your Green & Gold here at Texas Stadium (with or without Moss)!

Brian,
I drove all the way to Arlington (over 100 miles) to apologize to Jeanette in person for hijacking her thread.
B-)
It just happened to be my lucky day......they were hosting a Xenetech clinic at their office, so I stayed a while.
Who knew? ;-)

A good time might be when it's -30 degrees where you are --- and 60 degrees here! We'll leave the light on for ya!
(Matter of fact, around the time those Packers arrive in Texas might be a good time to visit)!
