No shots of the Crisco Kid? GeorgeGist Jan 2015 #1
I don't think they showed him on TV at all during the game. PeaceNikki Jan 2015 #2
I was surprised, considering the game was on Faux. madinmaryland Jan 2015 #4
Me, too!! PeaceNikki Jan 2015 #6
I bet they were instructed not to. Bad P.R. Auggie Jan 2015 #10

Even though I don't think the Dez Bryant call was correct, the Peckers won the game. madinmaryland Jan 2015 #3
Calvin Johnson rule. PeaceNikki Jan 2015 #5
Yes. It's a glad it's them, not us, moment. ScreamingMeemie Jan 2015 #7
No kidding. I am sure you'll hear a TON of griping about it down there. PeaceNikki Jan 2015 #8
Yeah... one of my friends is pushing it, and I really like her. ScreamingMeemie Jan 2015 #9

The reason it’s not a catch is you’ve got to control the ball when you hit the ground.

To the ground.

I would have been pissed if we were on the other side of that call. It may be a shitty rule, but it's the rule.

Also, Aaron was finally clicking and with over 4 minutes left at that point, the outcome of the game would have been the same.

My aunt has lived near Dallas for 40 years. She's a Packer fan, but it got pretty heated on Facebook between my dad and one of her friends today.

Glad that's over!!

She's being nice on my page (she's the Julie one with the cowgirl picture), but sending me ridiculous messages. Her daughter is one of my son't best friends, and she's typically "normal."
I know I'd be a little heated too, but come on people.

Makes you wonder how serious it was. Meanwhile, Romo says he can't remember when he's been more sore.
