Other News:

I do not see the big deal about replacement referees and injuries in the NFL, as the NFLPA has proclaimed. If anything, the replacement refs have gone way overboard in their protection of players. There will be however plenty of blown calls.

What a game by the Packers last night.  Maybe we were too hard on Graham Harrell, who had a big night. Rookie wide receiver Jarrett Boykin looked great.  The Pack won 24-3 over the Chiefs.

Cut down day for NFL teams. Sad day for some, great day for others. What major names do you think will get cut? Will Starks survive?

There is hope for the Brewers next season. That Mike Fiers sure can pitch.

Brewer SS Jean Segura is coming on. Nice trade.
