Best QB of all time
I am not too familiar with the old school guys like Bart Starr and Johnny Unitas, so I am picking Joe Montana. He was part of the greatest dynasty that football has ever seen. In terms of winning, that might as well be his middle name. From 1981 to 1989, he led the Niners to four Super Bowl titles. In addition to his amazing winning record, he has a resume full of record-setting statistics. Sure he played with the greatest receiver of all time, Jerry Rice, but all great quarterbacks threw to great receivers.
Packers for real?
Hold on, is the year 1997 or 2007? Last time I checked, it was in the late ’90s the Packers were a force to be reckoned with in the NFL. Brett Favre is 10 years older, and I question as to whether he can keep performing how he has been for an entire season. The team is the youngest in the league, and we have yet to see them really get tested. They might have won a close game, but how will they respond when they face injuries or get behind early in a game? It is too early to tell if the Packers are for real. If I had any money to put on a team, it definitely would not be the Green Bay Packers.
Best BCS conference?
The Pacific-10 Conference may not be the the best conference from top to bottom, but they do have the No. 1 team in the nation, USC. In addition to the top team, Cal and Oregon are in the top 11. No other conference has three teams ranked as high. Besides those teams, Arizona State has also cracked the top 25. USC could beat any team in the country from any other conference. This has to say something about the Pac-10. Look for them to finish the year with at least three teams in the top 10.
Stupidest way to get injured?
Former Jacksonville Jaguar kicker Chris Hansen split his leg open chopping at a stump in the locker room. Baseball player Glennallen Hill fell asleep, and while having nightmares about spiders, he rolled off the couch and fell through a glass coffee table. Both of these are pretty freak and dumb ways to get hurt. But major leaguer Sammy Sosa takes the cake when he got hurt in the clubhouse of Petco Field. As a result of a bad case of sneezing, Sosa fell ill to severe back spasms. In addition to missing playing time, this is also the reason the all star started using performance-enhancing drugs.

What I am about to say saddens me deeply, but is something that must be said for the good of the Utah Jazz. Andrei Kirilenko needs to shut up and stop whining. I love Andrei – his basketball jersey hangs on my bedroom wall during Jazz season, and I bought his autographed rookie card on eBay, and hours are spent each morning in front of my mirror trying to replicate his hairdo. But all of that aside, he is really starting to fire me up. I am fed up with his comments and attitude. Shut up and do the things that got you a max deal, block shots, rebound and hustle, and pretend to be innocent.

With Brett Favre tying the all-time touchdowns record, who’s the best quarterback of all time?
John Elway. It’s really just that simple. I don’t have any sarcastic comments. John Elway. The man is like a god among men – there are crazy, cult-like religions based on No. 7. But it’s true. An 80-year-old Elway flew through the air one Sunday in January and sacrificed himself so all of his children in Broncos nation could have a Super Bowl win. He also single-handedly dismantled the Cleveland Browns franchise with “The Drive” – the Browns haven’t been the same since. I also think Elway may be responsible for such awesome things as cold beer, supermodels, bar fights, and Guitar Hero. I almost forgot – he was a heck of a football player too.
Are the Packers for real?
Yes. They physically exist. They aren’t the figment of our collective imaginations. What? That’s not what the question was asking? OK. The Packers are good. Brett Favre is good – not the best quarterback ever, but pretty close. They have a solid defense with A.J. Hawk, who looks a lot like a Viking warlord, which is always a positive, in the middle; a good line and solid secondary that includes USU alumnus Jarrett Bush. They also play in the same division as such powerhouses as the Lions, Vikings and the one and only Rex Grossman. It should be no thing for the Pack to reach the playoffs.
What’s the best Bowl Championship Series conference?
I don’t know how many times it has to be said before it’s put on stone tablets and displayed under a confederate flag in front of a courthouse in some small, backward Southern town: The Southeastern Conference is the best conference in the nation. Hands down. No doubt. I would blindly follow the SEC to the slaughter. They have two of the four best teams in the country in LSU!!write out, i dont know which one it is ha!! and Florida. They have an upstart Alabama team and other strong teams like Arkansas, Georgia and even Kentucky. The SEC is a mini NFL, and they’ll show it again come January.
What’s the stupidest way you could get injured in sports?
Milton Bradley getting injured while arguing is bad, but hilarious too. One of the Gramaticas injured himself while celebrating a field goal. Gus Frerotte running his head into a wall and hurting his neck while celebrating a touchdown is another gem. So it’s hard to come up with something stupider than those, but maybe this is. Picture it: A coach, yelling things like, “I’m a man. I’m 40,” tears his vocal chords in a spectacularly hilarious rant and can’t give his team inspirational pregame speeches. Or better yet, he has to communicate by writing on huge cue cards. Actually, getting injured while ranting is noble, not stupid. Nevermind.

The NFL just finished up its third week, but I’ve already heard whispers about the Patriots going undefeated. First, the Pats won’t go undefeated. No team will. So the now-elderly ’72 Dolphins can start drinking in celebration. Second, why are we already talking about this? There are still 13 games left in the regular season; something is bound to happen. Given what’s already transpired this season – LT being a pariah on my fantasy team and the Brown putting up more than 50 points in a game – anything can happen. The Patriots could lose the remainder of their games and finish 3-13. I’d love that. But sadly, that won’t be the case either.
