Bears Shock Colts 29-13 in Lucas Oil Stadium Home Opener
Monday, September 22nd, 2008 | Sports | No Comments
The Chicago Bears defeated the Indianapolis Colts 29-13 in the home opener for both teams at the first ever NFL game played in Lucas Oil Stadium. Bears Rookie running back Matt Forte rushed for 123 yards and scored on an explosive 50-yard touchdown run, while the Bears defense tormented Peyton Manning and the Colts “talented” offense all night long. The Bears defense even recorded a touchdown after a forced fumble on Colts wide receiver Marvin Harrison. Bears quarterback Kyle Orton completed over 60% of his passes and threw for a mediocre 150 yards passing. At 1-0, the Chicago Bears sit atop the NFC North Divison with the Green Bay Packers.
Disgruntled Brett Favre traded from Packers to Jets
Thursday, August 7th, 2008 | Sports | No Comments
Late Monday night, the Green Bay Packers traded fan-favorite Quarterback Brett Favre to the New York Jets, ending the soap-opera-like saga in which the “retired” quarterback recently informed the Green Bay Packers that he still wanted to play. After negotiations to ink Favre to a $20 million “marketing deal” failed, the Green Bay Packers were forced to deal Favre since they had already committed the starting Quarterback position to a 4th-year Quarterback who has never started an NFL game in his career – Aaaron Rodgers. Brett Favre, on the other hand, holds the NFL records for most wins (160), most yards passing (61,655), most touchdown passes (442), most pass completions (5,377), most pass attempts (8,758) and most interceptions thrown (288). Favre led the Green Bay Packers to an NFL World Championship win in Super Bowl XXI in January 1997, he is a 3-time NFL MVP and he has started 275 consecutive NFL football games including playoff games. Why the Green Bay Packers did not welcome the Hall of Famer back to the field is a mystery to all. But the Brett Favre Packer career is now officially over and Favre will look to wreak havoc on AFC defenses for the upcoming 2008-9 NFL season. The Jets only had to give up a 4th round draft in the 2009 NFL Drafft to land the future Hall of Famer (the pick could advance to a 1st round pick if the Jets reach the Super Bowl) and gives the Jets a legitimate shot to return to post-season play for the 1st time in 2 years.
