Perfect Pass/Perfect Catch
September 29, 2009 by
Viking Vigil
| Comments
The touchdown pass and catch from Brett Favre to Greg Lewis was nothing less than spectacular. The play was not a fluke catch, a tipped ball, or some kind of trick play. The play as originally designed was not perfect. One could probably make the argument that the play was just...

The abundance of receivers in Minnesota is a good problem to have, but a problem nonetheless.

First of all, I’d like to say sorry for the lack of updates. It’s a slow time for football, and I just recently had a three day business trip in Atlanta (I’m currently residing in Houston), and my bride-to-be had a softball tournament for teachers on Saturday. It...
