AS THE PACKERS MOVE INTO THE OFFSEASON
GOSSIP AND RUMORS ARE STARTING TO ABOUND
QUESTIONS OF WHICH PLAYERS WILL RETURN
AND WHETHER BRETT FAVRE WILL BE AROUND

THE GIANTS ARE REPORTEDLY GEARING UP
TO MAKE A RUN AT FREE-AGENT AHMAN GREEN
WHETHER THEY WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL SIGNING HIM
IS JUST ONE OF THE THINGS REMAINING TO BE SEEN

BESIDES SORTING OUT THEIR OWN FREE AGENTS
THE PACKERS HAVE TO KEEP THEIR SHOPPING LIST IN HAND
FOR A COUPLE OF THOSE HIGH-LEVEL MERCENARIES
COULD PUT THESE PACKERS INTO POSTSEASON LAND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE VIKINGS TEAM ALSO CARRIES QUESTIONS
INTO AN OFFSEASON FILLED WITH MANY DOUBTS
SOME ARE QUESTIONING CHILDRESS' "KICK-ASS OFFENSE"
WHILE THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR SHOPS HIMSELF ABOUT

THEY LACK AN ESTABLISHED STARTING QUARTERBACK
AS WELL AS RECEIVERS THAT CAN CHANGE A GAME
FOR THOSE WHO LOVED THIS YEAR'S "GRIND-IT-OUT" OFFENSE
NEXT SEASON SHOULD PROMISE PLENTY OF THE SAME

WHILE THE VIKINGS' RUN DEFENSE IS EXCELLENT
THE PASSING DEFENSE USUALLY LOOKED PRETTY POOR
THEY'LL ALSO BE SHOPPING THE “FREE-AGENT MART”
FOR A PLAYER THAT CAN HELP TO SHUT THAT DOOR
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SOME TEAMS DON'T HAVE THESE SORTS OF PROBLEMS
NAMELY THE TEAMS WE'LL BE WATCHING THIS WEEKEND
AS THEY STRIVE TO MOVE ON THROUGH THE BRACKETS
AND NOT LET THEIR SEASON COME TO AN ABRUPT END

FOR ONCE THE COLTS MANAGED TO STOP THE RUN
AS THEY SENT LARRY JOHNSON AND THE CHIEFS PACKING
BUT THE RAVENS ARE READY TO TURN THE TABLES ON THEM
AND IT WILL BE BALTIMORE'S DEFENSE DOING THE SACKING

A YEAR AGO THE NEW ORLEANS DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A HOME
AND THIS YEAR THEY'RE EVERYBODY'S 'FEEL-GOOD' TEAM
THOSE GOOD FEELINGS SHOULD CONTINUE SATURDAY NIGHT
AFTER THEY'VE CRUSHED GARCIA AND THE EAGLES' DREAM

THE 'BOLTS ARE LOOKING GOOD ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL
WITH MERRIMAN ON DEFENSE WHILE THE OFFENSE HAS 'LT'
NO MATTER WHAT BRADY AND PATS COME UP WITH
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE A VICTORY

THE BEARS MIGHT BE RATED AS THE NUMBER ONE SEED
ALTHOUGH LATELY THEY'VE NOT LOOKED LIKE IT
BUT SEATTLE DOESN'T PLAY WELL ON THE ROAD
AND A HESTER RETURN TOUCHDOWN WILL MAKE THEM QUIT

The Indianapolis Colts beat the Kansas City Chiefs 23-8
The Seattle Seahawks beat the Dallas Cowboys 21-20
The New England Patriots beat the New York Jets 37-16
The Philadelphia Eagles beat the New York Giants 23-20
