...coming to view them as America's real team. Owned by snow-shoveling townspeople rather than a manure-shoveling megalomaniac like Jerry Jones, dedicated to reviving the glorious tradition of Lambeau and Hutson and Lombardi and Hornung, led by a truly charismatic defensive end (Reggie White) and a throwback quarterback (Brett Favre) who has learned to confine his swashbuckling to the field, the Packers are ready to do the Lambeau Leap into the nation's heart. Their 35-14 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday on the "frozen tundra" of Lambeau Field put them on a collision course...
...nowhere, or rather the New York Jets, came a new general manager, Ron Wolf. He hired Holmgren, the crackerjack offensive coordinator for the 49ers who can go both ways - tough and tender. That same year Wolf traded a first-round draft choice to the Atlanta Falcons for backup quarterback Brett Favre, who soon replaced incumbent Dan Majkowski. Favre has since replaced Bart Starr in the hearts of many Packer fans as he has driven the team first to respectability, then possibility and now probability.

...years, Harvard has been the co-class of the Ivy League and one of the most consistently competitive programs in Division 1-AA. Or alternatively an overabundance of football insight, the shared realization that this year’s incarnation should suffer from the graduation of its superstar quarterback, several key starters on defense, and its top special-teamer. Plus the spate of injuries, the hyper-informed fan might deduce, on both sides of the ball and the unhealthy dependence on the tailback would hamper the Crimson’s chances in 2005. In this confusion, I decided to poll...
