http://www.yardbarker.com/users/jzpopp Recent Yardbarker Articles: jzpopp en-us I do not want to get into a big discussion. I was just wonderring what maybe a couple of you guys thought about people wearing sunglasses in a dome for a funeral service? Personally I think it is unnecessary to be inside and wearing them. For some reason it strikes me as impersonal but I can't exactly pinpoint why. One of those things, I guess. Obviously if it were an outside service, it would be different. But I just don't think it is of the utmost respect to wear sunglasses inside, especially at a funeral. Once again, I am not trying to start anything, just an honest question. Discuss.

With that sai, it is time to break down the teams. Offense: Dallas and Green Bay are both in the Top 3 offensively, Dallas being 2nd and Green Bay being 3rd. The quarterbacks are evenly matched, despite Brett Favre's experience. The difference comes at the running game. Ryan Grant has done an amazing job in Green Bay since he came in. However, Dallas has the Two-Headed monster of Speed(Julius Jones) and Power(Marion Barber III). The difference will be in the running game and I feel that Dallas is more potent on the ground. Edge: Dallas. Key Match-up: Flozell Adams on Aaron Kampman. Defense: Green Bay is 5th in points allowed per game at 16.8 whilst Dallas is tenth at 20.1. The defenses are rather even with Green Bay allowing 20 more yards rushing per game and that can be bad news for Dallas but Dallas will have just as much of a problem with Green Bay's passing game. Edge: Push. Key Match-up: Al Harris on Terrell Owens. Special Teams: Nick Folk and Mason Crosby are just as good as any kicker in the league with Crosby leading the league in scoring and Folk 3rd behind Crosby and Randy Moss. The teams are even in the return game with each team's returner averaging 23.6 on kick-offs. Edge: Push. Location: Texas Stadium is not the best place to play for road teams, especially when Dallas is 10-1. The atmosphere will be very electric and Brett Favre has never won in Dallas in eight attempts. Edge: Dallas. I think the game will be high scoring. but Dallas' run game and home field propels them to a victory.

Actually, hate is a strong word. I do not hate improper grammar. It does, however, bother me. And I understand that most of the time it is done subconsciously and we don't really notice. That is fine. It happens. However, I do hate when people use improper grammar intentionally. It demeans them as human beings, making them nothing more than the cats and dogs we have in our homes, because if you cannot communicate properly, and you are a fully functioning human being, than you are nothing more than a house pet. Now, I do not expect this post to be perfect because I know it won't be. I will type too fast and skip a letter or jumble words. I will then go back and fix them so just accept it and enjoy the read.
