Training at altitude is such a cheat code. I didn't realize how much it impacted even normal folks till I did a bike tour in wyoming at between 6k-9k feet. Just nuts the difference.

What im saying is idk how the Broncos don't win more games, also the Raiders should move to Laramie or some poo poo gently caress vegas. Just cheat code tiny stadium at 7200ft.

I root for SDSU. Football games and basketball games in Laramie are loving awful.

A few years back we had a basketball game go to halftime with a score of 12-9. WE WERE RANKED.

Was there another Patriots defensive coordinator who got a head coaching job between Patricia and Crennell, because if not, maybe you shouldn't hire Pats D coordinators as head coaches.

I like how the Portland Trailblazers are near the top of that list too. Considering their only other sports competition is the (relatively new) MLS team.

I only caught the Detroit massacre on radio as I was driving. I am sad I didn’t get to hear Gruden being ground up.

Not a Pats DC but got his start in the league scouting for Belichick's Browns and then DC'd everywhere else but the Lions: Schwartz (29-51)

Brett Favre has one 6 interception game and one 5 interception game under his belt. I'm sure he had at least three 4 pick games as well. Stafford once again can never escape #4's shadow hanging on the NFC north.

^^--a 6 pick game (playoffs) a 5 pick game and six 4 pick games it looks like (one in the playoffs). 32 (!) 3 pick games.

He really slowed down on the turnovers the last few years. He'll still throw some interceptions but more like good Philip Rivers years rather than up towards 20 which he did a lot when he was younger.

Well up until last night that is.

The 6-INT was Jan 2002, the 5-INT was Oct 2005. Favre had no game with more than 3 in 2009 or '10 per PFR

My favorite Brett Favre memory was his last game against the Panthers as a Packer, in Carolina.

Carolina had a comfortable lead midway through the third, and just like clockwork they went into clock kill mode. The Packers mounted a furious comeback, and Brett Favre could not be stopped in the fourth.

The Panthers had a chance to end the game by just getting a first down or two, but instead ran it up the gut three times and punted. The Packers were down three with like 1:50 left and everyone in the stands knew what was about to happen.

then Favre loving sailed a pass over everyone right to a safety and that was that.

Exactly. Brett Favre is the greatest because he's also the worst. Stafford can't even be the best at being bad.
