But something really weird happened: long snapper Patrick Mannelly hiked the ball to Garrett Wolfe who was playing upback, he ran a few years and [...]

You're a long-snapper. You only have one job, and it's an important one. It's also a job borne out of repetition and mindlessness -- you crouch, you grab...

The five thoughts I'm walking away with after the Packers 21-15 win over the Bears . 1. Like I Said, Cutler Sucks - I have been going on and on about how I don't think Jay Cutler is going to be the savior to this Bears franchise, much less even a good quarterback, and boy did he look bad tonight. He did have his moments, I'll give him that, but four interceptions is very um, well, shitty. The best...

10. Patrick Mannelly Ha, just kidding. Who doesn't love the proprietor of the Web's best long snapping site ? Do you think P-Man designed that snazzy intro himself? 9. Jason McKie Is it possible that McKie is kind of like Milton from Office Space? There is no reason the Bears should actually have been paying him the last five years. Must be some kind of glitch in the system. For their next fullback,...
