<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>What's scary about a team quarterbacked by Joe Webb? Seriously, is it really an accomplishment to stop a running back when there is absolutely no alternative to handing off the ball to him?
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Minnesota isn't a very good football team. And the fact is that just a week ago, they were good enough to beat the Packers. If Ponder could have played this weekend, they very well may have won again. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>San Francisco is a much better team. Still not a great team, but Colin Kaepernick is at least a moderate offensive threat. If the Packers focus on doing nothing other than stopping Gore, they will lose. Why, you say? Because notwithstanding a fair amount of talent, the Packers D hasn't yet learned that there's no "I" in team. Guys like Fabio are way too interested in padding their personal stats and their ability to up their advertising opportunities through stupid post sack dances. They give up lots of yardage and lots of points to merely decent teams. Maybe Rodgers is good enough to overcome the anchor of his defensive teammates, but I'll bet not. Wonder if the long-haired wonder will cry when that happens. Can't wait to see that. </div>

</div>
<div>That is all....for now.</div>

<div dir="ltr">John F: I thoroughly enjoyed the Packer game Saturday night. My son and I both agreed that if we could just get by the Vikings, all of the teams after that seem much less scary. I think we should just play that same defense against San Francisco, and treat Gore like Adrian Peterson. Saturday night will be a fun game. The dream scenario, of course, is a re-match with the Seahawks at Lambeau, and we win on a controversial Hail Mary...not that that would ever happen....

Yawn. 4 #1's and all of them years away or with running contracts.<br>
<br>
<br>
Bundy is in year 2 and will likely be starting the year in the minors.<br>
Bogaerts (learn how to spell his name, won't ya!) - Long ways away.<br>
Williams - Yankee prospects - how often do those pan out?<br>
Sano - And who, I ask is the #2 prospect in that system (that's right, a Berliner)<br>
<br>
<br>
Berliners have 2 #1's (Francisco Lindor - Cleveland and Wil Myers - Tampa Bay) and 2 #2 (Byron Buxton - Minnesota and Tajuan Walker - Seattle) and three out of four should be contributing this year.<br>
<br>
<br>
Bring it on my friend. 2013 isn't your year.<br>
