The NYT on Why Packers Fans Rule

The phone rang well after midnight in the Sports department. It was January 2008, and the Giants had beaten the Packers in overtime in the N.F.C. championship game. A Packers fan was on the line, calling from a bar, after having had a few. But he wasn’t angry. He was calling to congratulate the Giants and Giants fans. He said the Giants had won fair and square, had won the line of scrimmage, and...

Watch

Speaking of my newest girl crush, here is Abigail Washburn’s NPR Tiny Desk Concert from earlier this year. Tiny Desk Concerts continue to be one of my favorite things to watch online. (Well, if we’re being honest, probably that and the occasional Michael Scott clip from The Office when I need a pick-me-up.) Back to the point: there must be something about the whole stuffy little office...

Aaron Rodgers in ESPN Magazine

Fleming: So the idea that football is a game of inches is more than just a cliche?

Rodgers: Look at our biggest play from our last drive of the Super Bowl. We're only up by three, and on third and 10, we run Greg Jennings down the middle of the field and connect for a 31-yard gain. If you look at that play on the game film from the end zone, Steelers corner Ike Taylor gets his pinky on the ball and changes the trajectory but not enough to make Greg drop it. If Taylor gets one more knuckle on the ball, everything changes. An inch one way or the other and it might be a totally different outcome in the Super Bowl. Afterward, everybody was like, "How did that happen?" But that's a play we've worked on for years. Years. That's where all this comes from -- to be able to step into that throw, with seven minutes left in the Super Bowl, up by less than a touchdown, knowing it's third down and you have to make a play. I've thrown that ball to Greg, that same exact ball, 100 times in practice. Same exact route. So when I break the huddle, that's what's flashing in my mind. I've completed this throw in my mind 1,000 times before the ball even leaves my hand.

Barney Frank announces he's not running for... →

I feel so frustrated and disappointed by our current political system. Granted, the man has been in office for decades, and all good things have to come to an end, but still: when running for re-election means giving up your real job as a congressman and turns you into a full-time fundraiser and campaigner, THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN. Predictably (and as he should), Frank blames the conservative media...
