We decided last night that the Steelers issue with no punter (sorry to Paul Ernster fans) made us want to check out depth charts for who may be available for them as camp cuts begin. Boy, the Steeler nation is in for a world of shock when they do the same. There are NONE, right, NONE, who even jumped out at us. Ex- Steeler Josh Miller kicked 3 times for the Titans last year and he is coming off injury and at 38, don’t see it happening. As a matter of fact, there is not one veteran I can find that is worth a damn to even bring in to for a tryout. I say, they go this route. Bring in the kid who kicked last year for the Toledo Rockets, Brett Kern. He has good size, 6′3 200 lbs, had a net avg last year of 46 and is sitting at home as far as we see. The team showed last year they are not afraid of rookie punters so why not bring this kid in for a look? They brought in a young, untested street free agent in Jeff Reed and that turned out to be a great move. I say, if you have to take a chance, take it with youth. Not with a worn out dud like Paul, hang on to the ball dummy, Ernster.

As the drama continues in the Favre vs Packers drama, this writer wonders where all the loyalty has gone in this once great marriage. If we are to believe the team, Favre wavered numerous times in both directions. If we believe Brett, he acknowledged a little uncertainty but changed his mind in June and begged the team to let him “unretire” and rejoin the team. As we see it, this whole thing reeks of a relationship gone terribly astray where one side moves on after being jilted (Pack=Rodgers) and the other side who screwed up (Favre=Retirement) now wants back in. Like any relationship, trust has been broken and we all know where things are headed now, splitsville. Who will end up the winner in this? Our guess here is the Favre camp comes out the winner with being able to pick who he wants to play for. And If I was a gambler (oh wait, I am) my guess is the Tarvaris Jackson led qb starved Vikes.
