Packers - Undefeated

I debated even writing this post because I'm a little superstitious, but in the end, all I care about is that we win the super bowl, not about an undefeated season.  The Pack is the only remaining undefeated team at 7-0 and now that we're almost at the halfway point, people are starting to talk about it. 

Every few years a team makes a relatively deep, undefeated run and people start talking and comparing them to '72 Dolphins and the '07 Patriots.  The Dolphins are the last team to go undefeated and win the Super Bowl.  The Patriots went undefeated in the regular season, but lost in the playoffs.  To have such an amazing season, but not win it all would be painful.

If it came down to it, I'd rather see us lose a game or two for learning and refocusing so that we got hot at the right time.  Last year's team didn't have great regular season, but they got hot in the end.  Back to back do or die wins against the Bears certainly helped propel them forward.  Either way, the Lombardi Trophy is what matters.  If we can make it a perfect season, even better.

Brewers - playoff baseball!

There Brewers are in the playoffs!  For the first time since I believe '82 they've won their division.  They made it in '08 as the wild card, but got bounced out by Philly.  This year, they have home field for the first series agains the Diamondbacks and there is a great buzz with the team.  They have the best home record in the majors and finally, finally have a solid starting pitching rotation.  They seem to be a very complete team as well.  Great set up man in K-Rod and a closer who has saved 46 straight.  Oh...and they can hit.  4 guys w/over 20 home runs and possibly the best 1-2 punch combo in Braun/Fielder.

I'll be going to the game tomorrow and am pumped!  Had the privilege of going in '08 and there's nothing like playoff baseball.  Packed house, thundersticks, and amazing energy.  Who knows, anything can happen w/these new and improved Brewers!
