Trying not to gloat

(Guest post by Steve Gigl)

Greetings from another neighboring state, where it's quite cold -- I think it got to a balmy 0 degrees this afternoon. Unlike Mitch, I hate the extreme cold, so I console myself by noting that there's about 6" of snow here in Green Bay. In other words, we've at least got the correct visual effects for the holiday.

The main topic of conversation here can hardly come as a surprise. All in all, the parts of the game I didn't sleep through (hey, we're on vacation, I've had a whole 10 hours of sleep in 2 nights, and all I missed was Favre's interception...) were played about as expected: almost no defense, competent offense. The only surprise was just how calm and together the Packer offense looked during those last two drives.

Oh, and Saint Paul: "The Mad Pooper" played a moderately decent game, didn't he? Just thought I'd mention it...
