Football General Talk

Does anybody know what the green projection on the back of some player's helmets is all about? I think I have seen them only on defensive players. It is usually lime green, regardless of the team colors. The Detroit defensive back that was injured late in the game last night was one example. I think his name was Branch.

They stick their mouthpieces in the vents of the helmets.
 
I thought that earlier, but then I saw one of them actually had a mouthpiece used normally and the thing sticking out of his helmet. On the other hand, I have seen players with multiple mouthpieces hanging from their face masks, which seems ridiculous. And many who simply do not use the mouthpiece that just dangles out there as they run.

In any event, from the best views I could get of any of these things, they do not strike me as a mouthpiece. Could be wrong.
 
Tomorrow the greatest rivalry in all of sports continues in Green Bay.

Did you know for 49 straight games the head coaches never shook hands?

Curly Lambeau : "Why would I shake hands. That gester would just be a lie"
 
There are Bears fans that are in the first grade right now that have only seen the Bears beat the Packers once in their life and their parents have never seen them win a Super Bowl. So why are they Bears fans?

Interesting history between the two. If it wasn’t for George Halas loaning the Packers money during the Great Depression, the Pack would not exist.

He also was critical in the building of Lambeau Field, and even once recommended the Packers hire a no-name coach. Guess who that was?😜
 
Get a grip. mtmuley

Muley, I’m not telling you it’s rational. It rises up within me. My wife says it’s a bit of a problem and that she’s a fan now just to phuck with me. Just tell me you’ve been to Dallas, or at least to Texas…

I respect the Packers. No one should respect the Cowbabies. The best guard your team ever had became a drug dealer, Nate Newton. An affinity for hookers and blow, Michael Irvin, has been long forgotten. Jerry Jones???

Hmmmm… now that I think about it. What’s up with Brett lately? Aaron? Respect may be too strong of a word.
