Packattack: you obviously need to watch more than packer games. Or understand football more, or not be such a homer, or all three.

“The Packers have struggled for years trying to replace Craig Hentrich. Masthay has been brilliant…especially in the NFC Championship game.”

Actually the Packers have had their share of good punters since Craig Hentrich. Players like Josh Bidwell and Jon Ryan.

It wasn’t until after Jon Ryan was released the Packers had a hard time finding a punter. They had to go through punters Derrick Frost and Jeremy Kapinos before finally finding a good punter.

——————————–

Ryan and Bidwell were both average at best. It’s only when compared the to the atrocious punters that followed that they looked good. Remember Ryan’s game against the Bears in ’07? And Bidwell’s claim to fame was being Ryan Longwell’s boyfriend….I think Longwell still tears up when he hears Josh’s name. The last good punter we had was Hentrich, end of story.

So, the latest stories this morning are Tim Masthay almost joining the Peace Corps and Hines Ward bar-hopping strip joints? Good vs Evil. I like it.

His game against the Bears(the last reg season game) was the best punting performance I can recall, ever.

conseannery: That goes down in the Hall of Fame. I’m normally stoic and unamused, but that made me laugh aloud. Thanks, buddy.

Sounds like a punter to me.

Masthay has been a big part of the Packer’s success. Remember the Jets game? He’s been great in the playoffs. Just an outstanding kid.

Punting…the toughest job you’ll ever love.

A part time teaching gig?

I bet he was able to impress the students by telling them he used to be in the NFL.

I remember having a substitute teacher whose cousin was Animal from The Legion of Doom.

Granted, a WWF wrestling cousin is far more prestigious than a punter, but still, I bet he impressed his share of jailbait.

Masthay’s been booting them brilliantly lately. Such a relief from the nightmare that was Kapinos last year.

Who’s that guy kicking for these days I wonder? Hehe.
