Really? More football?

Another football post? This is certainly unexpected, even for me who's writing this post.

The Oakland Raiders are locked in a tight battle with Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos for the AFC West title. They still have a pretty good chance of being a playoff team, but they really need to come up with the W's in the home stretch.

Getting a win this coming Sunday is going to be a tall order against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, who are having a tremendous season and are currently undefeated at 12-0. This is  in large part due the play of Aaron Rodgers who is looking phenomenal right now. Last Sunday's match-up against the New York Giants looked like it was going into overtime. But Rodgers made it look easy, getting his team into scoring position on only two plays and eventually ending it in the final seconds of regulation.



Aaron Rodgers is more and more looking like the stuff of football legend. And I'm not saying that because I'm particularly knowledgeable when it comes to football history, but because that's what all of the sports news outlets are saying. But it doesn't take a football genius to recognize the incredible ability of Aaron Rodgers. He made the Giants look like a bush league team in the final minute of that game.

Raiders QB Carson Palmer acknowledged Rodger's greatness in several news publications including the San Jose Mercury News and admits that Sunday's game going to be an uphill battle.

At any rate, it will be an interesting game to watch this Sunday and with the 49ers already having clinched, you can bet that I'll be tuned into "The Aaron Rodgers Show" on Sunday afternoon.
