Power rankings. You hate them. They’re so arbitrary and pointless, especially when they include all 32 NFL teams. All you want to know after a good week of NFL action is who the bestest team in the NFL right now, and which one is the absolute barrel-scraping worst. The one so terrible, it's probably responsible for Penn State's PR department. That’s why we have TOP AND BOTTOM OF THE NFL, where we go to great lengths to tell you who’s the top dog in football right now, this very minute. LET’S GO! THE TOP: Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers is currently staging one of the finest seasons an NFL quarterback has ever had. Every so often, a QB has a year in which he seems utterly invincible, when every punt you force against him feels like a small miracle. That's Rodgers right now.

Week 10 Packers Stock Report: Rodgers, Bishop and a Deer Hunting Dilemma

Last weekend was the opening of deer hunting season and I had a dilemma: Do I skip the Packers vs. Chargers game to maximize my chances to bagging the 30-point buck, or do I leave the deer stand early to watch the game? I chose to watch the game (there’s always next weekend to chase the 30-pointer) and I was pleased with my decision. What a game. Also, by watching the game, I...

This Week’s Sign Of The A-Pack-alypse: Aaron Rodgers Is Better Than Brett Favre Ever Was

Checkmate, Brett. CHECK. MATE. Sorry Aaron.  I hate to keep doing this to you and bringing the guy up, but once I get this out of my system you will never hear about him from me again. I promise.

Rodgers, Revis, Cam head our NFL midseason awards
