Here is just one article of an ongoing story regarding NFL teams tanking to get better draft picks. Personally, I do not have a team not trying to win the last game of the year if it will help their draft position, unless it is against the damn Green Bay Packers <spit>, but a whole season is terrible. Two seasons back-to-back is even worse. To me this is worse than Pete Rose betting on his team to win. Of course, this is not much of a surprise for most of us. It will be interesting to see what develops over the next year or more. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33223512/ex-cleveland-browns-coach-hue-jackson-says-directly-paid-lose-evidence-team-intent-lose-come

Interesting, wonder how the NFL will address the issue or should I say if they will.

Exactly. At the lease, depending on what info comes out and/or how much the media keeps talking about it I would not be surprised if the the NFL goes to a draft lottery like in NBA and NHL.

I always want our boys to win. But especially against divisional teams. That goes double for the Pack. This list of mine will explain things, I think. 5 NFC North teams I hate losing to the most:1) Green Bay 2) Green Bay 3) Chicago 4) Green Bay 5) Minnesota
