Rather see them win than the ****:n cheeseheads.

Cook did alright. I think he interrupted 2 passes targeted toward Calvin. That said, I know at least one of the TD receptions Cook was on him. The last catch it wouldn't have mattered who was on him, save Shaq or Yao Ming.

CJ is 6'5" with 4.30 speed, 44" vertical, and amazing hands. He's truly a physical freak. What else is nice is that he's not one of the WR prima donnas. He's actually rather quiet; doesn't talk much at all.

First TD was definitely vs. Cook, he had solid position and it just didn't matter. CJ is a bigger, stronger Randy Moss clone in his prime and he actually keeps his mouth shut and cares about football. He's scary good.

Matt smacked me good after his Twins got smacked around since the end of July. 5 dandy cigars that will meet 5 fiery deaths.

Oliva Series V #4
Padilla Signature 1932 Toro
Skull and Bones Fat Man
Don Pepin Garcia Blue

and a Hoyo de Monterray from his 1st box purchase in '99. Talk about yellow cello!

Thank you so much, Matt, and I wish the Twins better fortunes in 2012....say, 2nd place?

That was my last Hoyo from that box...Enjoy Tom, glad they got there okay.

Looking forward to it, Matt, I used to smoke a lot of those HdMs when I first got into handmade cigars. Looking forward to all the rest too, especially my first "Fat Man".

[Mattso3000]

NC HdM's were pretty much all I smoked for the first few years of actually getting quality cigars, still on of my favorites. This years S&B are better than last as well, more depth of flavor. Not just the power bombs that the WMD and MOAB were.

Well, what do I win? (besides a likely beating at the hands of the Saints)

Me rooting for the Lions.

This may actually be the year it finally happens! I forgot all about this thread! We'll see if my Buc's can avoid a second half meltdown like in 2011. This years team feels different. We finally have the bats swinging now and if the pitching keeps it up this may be our year.... Finally!

Never thought I'd have to look at this thread again...

Sorry Matt. And Ken, I wouldn't bet the farm.

I don't have any Lions gear, Mike, but I am completely serious when I say I will be watching and rooting for the Motown Boys.

I remember their only playoff win since 1957. It was in 1991 against the Aikman/Emmitt Smith/Michael Irving/Jimmy Johnson Cowboys. The Lions whipped 'em and headed into Washington where the Redskins utterly destroyed my Leos.

Heck this is their first playoff game since 1999. I'm hoping for a miracle; the Saints aren't going to be an easy team to beat.

Some might say Calvin Johnson IS a miracle.....

I think many Packer fans hope you're right!

Not bold, They have started their ascent to the top of that division.

They are 2 games under .500 against AL opponents....

Nah, we'll just take solace in the fact that we're returning the offense intact, including the reigning MVP and will field a much-improved defense (as it could've been much worse). That, and we've beaten the Giants two out of the last three meetings. What's that old saying about a blind squirrel and a nut? Look on the bright side; by the time the Packers come to town late November, you should be able to acquire tickets on the cheap.
