Super Bowl XLV By the Numbers

Posted by Troy Vosseller on January 27, 2011

Our friends at MyCheapApartments.com shared a link with us to an awesome infograph on the Super Bowl.

  • Pennsylvania has nearly double the population of Wisconsin, but Wisconsin’s median household income is greater by $2K
  • Arlington Stadium is the largest domed stadium in the world: 80,000 capacity
  • Average resale price for Super Bowl XLV tickets is $5,082 vs $3,034 for Super Bowl XLIV
  • The North Texas Super Bowl Host Committee had to guarantee 21,000 hotel rooms to the NFL to secure their bid
  • Rodgers: 3,922 passing yards … Roethlisberger: 3,200 passing yards



Woodson’s Message to the White House

Posted by Troy Vosseller on January 26, 2011

The State of Union was top of mind for many Americans last night, but this jewel of a speech by Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson is my favorite. Prior to the Bears/Packers NFC Championship Game, President Obama (a self-proclaimed Bears fan) predicted a Bears victory. If the Bears had won, Obama agreed to attend the Super Bowl. Well we all know how the game went…

Following the game, Woodson delivered an impassioned speech (video link) followed by a “1-2-3 White House” breakdown:

The president don’t want to come watch us win the Super Bowl? Guess what? We’ll go see him.

Today Obama visited Green Bay. Upon arriving, he was greeted by Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt. With a big grin, Jim handed the President an autographed Charles Woodson jersey. Included with the signature: “See you at the White House … Go Packers!”

Clay Matthews = DPOY

Posted by Troy Vosseller on January 13, 2011

Sporting News has just awarded Clay Matthews with their NFL Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) award!  Congratulations Clay and Go Pack!  Check out our DPOY t-shirt available in the brentfavre.com store.

Beyond his statistics (23-1/2 sacks, 11 passes defended, three forced fumbles and one interception returned for a touchdown in his two NFL seasons), Clay Matthews impacts a game in ways few defensive players can. He is the NFL’s Tasmanian Devil, a player who is in constant motion, attacking from here, there and everywhere.

$50K fine and a retirement watch

Posted by Troy Vosseller on December 29, 2010

ESPN is reporting that the NFL is only going to levy a $50,000 fine on Brett Favre for his involvement in the Sterger “Sextgate” incident.  Commissioner Roger Goodell “could not conclude that Favre violated league policies relating to workplace conduct” but fined the Minnesota Vikings quarterback $50,000 “for his failure to cooperate with the investigation in a forthcoming manner.”

What a load of crap.  The league is just trying to coverup for their golden boy Brent Pevre.  In my opinion Brett is guilty of sending the pictures.  Regardless…$50k!!??  That’s like $16,666 per inch – less than some fines for illegal hits!  I think it’s time for Favre to retire, hit the ‘ole dusty trail, and collect his retirement watch.

Sterger Talks to the NFL

Posted by Troy Vosseller on November 11, 2010

The league has been waiting to hear from Jenn Sterger.  The meeting was perviously canceled on three separate occasions just moments before it was supposed to occur.

ESPN reports the meeting lasted for three hours.  ”Phil Reese, Sterger’s agent, told The Associated Press in an e-mail that Sterger met with league officials and “we cooperated fully by providing them with substantial materials in our possession. We now await the NFL’s decision.”
