Talking about vertical leap and how it played a role in Savage's interception has me wondering. Are there tools in place (NextGen Stats) that allow teams to calculate the catch radius for draft prospects?
It's getting there.

Good morning, gents: First off, you are correct. Cherry, orange, strawberry and lemon – that's the Starburst order. With Pro Bowl voting underway, I noticed an unfortunate listing for Mr. Crosby. In the voting, it lists all kickers numerically by successful field goals. MC has 14. He is also the ONLY kicker on that list who is 100% field-goal percentage, with most of the competition having missed at least two on the season. I hope this doesn't cause someone to vote for more field goals, worse completion percentage.
Yeah, I saw that, too. It's unfortunate how they moved the goal posts on Mason with this year's format (Get it? Get it? Try the veal. I'm here all week). Also, strawberry over orange.

Which receiver you've covered has the best hands? Perhaps a household name and a more obscure name.
Probably Jordy Nelson or Adams. While I wouldn't call Richard Rodgers obscure, he probably had the best hands of any skill-position player whose name doesn't immediately come to mind at first. I've only covered the team for eight-plus years, though. The better question is probably who has the best hands of any Packers receiver you guys have watched?

Concussions seem to be down in the NFL, how much of that can be attributed to rules and how much does better equipment (helmets) have to do with it?
Helmet technology has improved significantly over the last 10 years, but I also think the changes the league implemented to kickoff returns and emphasizing defenseless receiver penalties have helped minimize head and neck injuries.

How have Madden and fantasy football affected fans' perception of "real" football?
Generally speaking, I think it's been positive. Fans know much more today than they did 25 years ago. But it still pales in comparison to what coaches and scouts know. It's good to know something – just don't act like you know it all, in football or in life.

Slobberknockers is my new favorite word.
I saw a lot of these submissions over the last 36 hours. You folks need to watch more pro wrestling.

The comparisons of GB's QBs to Chicago's was amazing. As Mike said it shows the importance of getting the QB position correct. Yet people still complain about drafting Love.
The worst time to look for a quarterback is when you need a quarterback. Everyone talks about Favre to Rodgers but very few mention how the Packers took out an insurance policy in 2008 by drafting Brian Brohm in the second round. Fortunately, for the Packers' sake, Rodgers was the answer, after all.

In Friday's II, Spoff mentioned, "What it means to get the QB position right should never be undersold." Can we please put the Love draft choice to rest? If Aaron Rodgers plays for more than three years, we may possibly have a good trade chip if needed.
There are so many reasons to shelve this conversation – namely the fact the Packers are 9-3 right now and beginning a run. What will be will be with Love, but whatever it is, it won't be today.

I can't say enough for Adrian Amos' efforts to increase awareness and find a cure for Alzheimer's. When you have a member of the family afflicted with Alzheimer's, it is a gut-wrenching experience witnessing just how insidious this disease truly is. As a 24/7 caregiver for a member of my family having Alzheimer's, I know where Adrian's coming from based on his experiences with his grandmother and truly hope someday there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.
It's a neat thing Amos has been doing, pledging $1,000 for every tackle he records this season. He's up to 55 with four games to go. You can learn more about his foundation and what you can do to help here.

Identity forms,
A true football family
plays for each other.
Stockton to Malone. Favre to Freeman. Derek to Dean.

The challenge echoes across the narrow sea
A challenge from a familiar foe that was easily defeated on your hallowed ground
Stay the course your King of the North crown nearly secure
On his home turf beware a dangerous wounded Lion
This Lion will not go gentile into that goodnight
Men of the Bay you are the authors of your legacy
The time has come to write the next chapter
And get win No. 10. Enjoy the game everybody.
