Packers’ Depression

postedPosted in The Sporting Life on January 14th, 2004 by glennm

With Midwest football fans still reeling from the Packer’s sudden-death overtime loss to the Eagles Sunday — punctuated by their failure to go for it on 4th and 1 with just over two minutes left in regulation, coupled with a tremendous Donovan McNabb completion on 4th and 26 for the Eagles — therapists there say folks are suffering from “dysphoria,” a form of “depression that can interrupt normal eating and sleeping patterns.”

Great. Now we can all blame the blues on the NFL. Let’s sue Brett Favre!!

Overtime History

postedPosted in The Sporting Life on January 5th, 2004 by glennm

The Green Bay Packers’ overtime victory over the Seattle Seahawks represents one of the better playoff games in NFL history. It was one of only five overtime games decided by something other than a field goal and the first-ever decided by a defensive TD — this time an interception return by the Packers’ Al Harris, dredlocks and all. The Packers’ Defense Lets Brett Favre Watch This Ending. Coming on the heels of the 2002 season, in which Green Bay lost a playoff game for the first time ever at home at Lambeau Field, this win may be just what the doctor ordered for Favre and company.
