--SNIP-- What Crosby did to beat the Cowboys — kicking a 56-yarder to give the Packers a 31-28 lead with 93 seconds left, then booting the 51-yarder twice after the Cowboys called timeout right before the snap on his first try — was historic. No kicker had ever made two 50-yard field goals in the final 2 minutes of a regular-season or postseason game in NFL history, and the two kicks extended his NFL-record streak of 23 consecutive postseason field goals without a miss.

And he did it with Brittany and Rees on his mind at various points in the game. The entire Crosby family began wearing teal bracelets in support of Brittany — “We stand together,”

I know everyone is a little down on the NFL this year but this is a great story. If anyone is looking for a team to adopt I think the Packers would be a great choice.

Sounds reasonable. Since there is no professional team near Cleveland... I am a free agent.

The Packer Org doesnt usually put up with the childish crap from players. They generally disappear after the season is over. That is why some pretty good players have been let go instead of keeping them around. Farve pushed the limits in his little ditty and it did not get him anywhere. Matter of fact, Rodgers is a far better QB than Farve ever was.

Crosby is the type that org likes to have stay on.
