Super Bowls have been won by Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson etc etc.  I disagree on that, running the ball and a stellar defense win championships, both of which the Vikings have. The head coach though is an idiot and I've thought that of both guys since they got rid of Denny Green.

Okay, not sure where you're going with this.  Both those quarterbacks are better than T-Jack or Ferotte.  I didn't say you had to have Brett Favre or Tony Romo to win, but you do have to have a good quarterback who can manage a game and that includes both of the above.  In addition, both of those guys' coaches were light years ahead of Childress.

I still can't get this straight...you would rather have the Pack's most bitter rival (the Bears) get in to the playoffs by losing to them to spite the local Vikings fans?  Is that it?  That is messed up...but par for the course for a Packers fan. 

As far as what the Vikings need...they need two things...a head coach and a QB, outside of that I'd take everything on the Vikings over the Packers right now and going in to next year

Scott, I live in Minnesota.  I would much rather see the Bears make it in than the Queens.  That's a given for any Packer fan living here.  If I lived in Chicago, I'm sure I'd feel the opposite.  You're once again missing the point that there's no real victory either way for the Pack, so why not get a better draft pick? 

If you ever want to bet on a Packers/Vikings game, I'll take the Pack any day and twice on Sunday.  I can't believe you're minimizing the need at head coach and QB - all you're missing are the two most important people on any given team.

We need a Bears win and a Vikings loss this weekend. . .

What a beautiful game last night.  Kudos to the Pack for giving us a good game while still hurting the Vikes playoff chances and getting the Packers a better draft pick next year.  I love it!

I've never seen someone call a game beatiful when their team loses...and GB better hope they can draft 7 players with their 1st round pick, that is how bad they are

Hey, why not lose if you've nothing left to play for?  If the Pack wins, it helps the Vikes and hurts the Bears.  If they lose, just the opposite.  At least make it a good close game.  And if the end result helps the draft, so be it. 

As for how bad they are, that's pretty funny coming from a Queens fan.  It's still a young team in a rebuilding year and they have some guys that need to get healthy on defense, but that offense can keep up with anyone.  I'd say the Vikes have a lot more question marks given they're no lock to make the playoffs, the QBs are fighting over who get's to sit out, and now Peterson can't even hold onto the rock. 

Even if they make the playoffs, you know they're going no where.  If you want to go double or nothing on that beer you owe me come playoff time, just let me know.   

Merry Christmas everyone!

Cripes, release a 2-pack Catwoman and Batgirl and see how that sells DC!  I relaly don't think toy manufacturers are paying attention.

Reading through the forums over at AFI, and it looks like Mattel is gauging collector reaction to some potential 2-packs for 2009 (including some harder to find figures from DCSH).  They have offered them to online retailers to see the preorder numbers (you can see a pic of the Batman/Clayface pack at BBTS).  Anyways, here's the proposed lineup (more details at the AFI linky):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Batman vs Clayface

Batman will be in his black and gray costume with "mud splatter" effects. Clayface will be an exact reissue of this hard to find figure.

Superman vs Brainiac

This is proposed as a standard Superman figure (Eradicator head on the Wave 6 Superman body with red heat vision eyes) vs. Classic Brainiac (green head) with an all new head and coller piece. Brainic will come armed with Luthor's gun from the 2007 figure.

Supergirl vs. Luthor

This will be a reissue of the Blue outfit Kara Supergirl and the power suit Lex, but perhapes with a little surprise in the accessories!

Golden Age Hawk Pack

Two new figures to start your golden age collection.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They don't sound too bad to me really, taking into consideration that most of the 2 packs will usually contain a repacked/"tweaked" figure.

These sound awful.  I will pass on all of them.  Since when are Batman and Superman hard to find figures from DCSH?  They should re-release Catwoman, Batgirl, Nightwing, etc.

Midley tempting, but not a difficult pass at those prices.
