AFTER TWO WEEKS OF A PASSING GAME THAT WAS AWFUL
COACH CHILDRESS FINALLY DECIDED TO TAKE A SHOT
AND BENCHED HIS YOUNG STARTING QUARTERBACK
REPLACING HIM WITH THE GRAYBEARD GUS FREROTTE

WHILE HE WASN'T GREAT HE WAS GOOD ENOUGH
AND HIS DEFENSE ROSE TO THE OCCASION
SACKING THE PANTHERS AGAIN AND AGAIN
EVEN ADDING A DEFENSIVE SCORE TO THE EQUATION

THIS WEEK'S GAME WILL BE SOMEWHAT TOUGHER
AS THE TITANS NOW KNOW WHAT OL' GUS CAN DO
THEY'RE FAMILIAR WITH OLDER RECLAIMED QUARTERBACKS
AS THEY'VE PULLED THEIR YOUNG SIGNAL-CALLER TOO

THE TITANS PASSING GAME IS GOOD BUT NOT TERRIFIC
AND THEIR RUNNING GAME COULD BE REGARDED THE SAME
BUT TENNESSEE IS WINNING WITH TOUGH DEFENSE
AS THEY ARE GIVING UP JUST TEN POINTS A GAME

THE DEFENSES FROM BOTH OF THESE TEAMS
JUSTIFIABLY ALLOW GAME PLANS THAT ARE BOLD
ESPECIALLY SINCE BETWEEN THESE TEAMS
THE QUARTERBACKS ARE SEVENTY-THREE YEARS OLD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IT WAS TWO WEEKS INTO THIS FOOTBALL SEASON
AND THE GREEN BAY PACKERS HAD NOT BEEN BESTED
BUT THE DALLAS COWBOYS WERE COMING TO TOWN
THEY KNEW THEIR WILL AND TALENT WOULD BE TESTED

THE PACKERS' TEAM NEVER GOT ON TRACK
AS DALLAS TOOK THEIR BIG-PLAY ABILITY AWAY
AND SINCE THE COWBOYS OFFENSE KEPT THE PRESSURE ON
EVENTUALLY THE PACKERS' DEFENSE JUST GAVE WAY

SO NOW GREEN BAY'S RECORD IS AT TWO AND ONE
AS THE PACKERS TRY TO PULL THEMSELVES TOGETHER
KNOWING THAT THEY'LL HAVE TO FACE THE BUCCANEERS
WITH THREE DEFENSIVE BACKS UNDER THE WEATHER

TAMPAS TEAM HAS ALSO LOST JUST ONCE
THOUGH OT WAS NEEDED TO BEAT THE BEARS
THEIR RUNNING GAME HAS BEEN UP AND DOWN
SO LAST WEEK THEY TOOK THE OFFENSE TO THE AIR

THE BUCS THREW SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES LAST WEEK
AND TAMPA BAY DID NOT GIVE UP A SACK
GREENS SECONDARY WILL HAVE ITS HANDS FULL
IF THE PACKERS CAN'T GET TO THE QUARTERBACK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

THE VIKINGS' GAME WILL BE A VIOLENT ONE
BUT KERRY COLLINS IS BETTER THAN GUS FREROTTE            
AND WHILE THE COWBOYS CONTAINED THE PACKERS
THE TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS WILL NOT
