dragonflyAnyone watching?
That blocked field goal in the 3rd, and the subsequent calls all in favor of Green Bay ... I don't know if I should feel good about that touchdown or not. It really seems like the officials were determined to give us the ball back and a first down.
So, yay?

Historical fact
Feb. 23rd, 2013 10:45 amdragonfly(Yes, from my calendar)
The Packers narrowly missed winning the NFL West in 1935 (Detroit won) and advancing to the league title game that year because their 8-4 record included three losses to the Chicago Cardinals by a combined total of six points.

Donald Driver retiring
Feb. 3rd, 2013 08:49 pmdragonflyDriver's contract was up and there was concern that he might go into free agency, but he announced he will retire.
http://www.packers.com/news-and-events/article-1/From-humble-start-Donald-Driver-retires-in-greatness/c7fe6b9d-e3ca-4009-8482-a14e6665c72b
He'll have a retirement ceremony/party at the Atrium in Lambeau on Feb. 6. Tickets were sold on a first come first served basis, and fans stood in line all night--in 10 degrees--to get the tickets.
Driver is the first player I learned to recognize after Favre. I loved his grin and enthusiasm. There was a quote from him on the news that I'll try to find on the web so I can get it right, but it was along the lines of "The day I first put on the Green and Gold I knew this was the only team I wanted to play for."
Godspeed Donald!
