5 hours at 225, no peeking. Perfectly moist and tender. Baby backs were done at halftime. So were the Packers. :'(
The ribs look great, the Packers? Not so much. Like I was telling Tony and others on Facebook, the body language and facial expressions on those boys showed they were tired and just wanted to get out of the GA Dome and go home. I have NEVER seen Rodgers that way. That first half just broke their spirit I believe. I'm all for the Falcons going to the Super Bowl but I wasn't expecting the Pack to be so disinterested in winning. I will give credit to Jordy for suiting up, the man is a warrior! Stupid for GB to allow their star to risk severe injury, but a herculean effort just to be out there running. It was amazing! He must've been on some GOOD stuff, lol!
The thing is with the great franchises like Green Bay, New England, San Fran (of old), Pittsburgh and even Dallas (ugh!) is that there is a history of winning, a culture. There's also trophies in the trophy case! So, the odds of GB just falling out of grace and becoming the Jaguars are slim to none, lol. Your team will be competitive for a long while. The Falcons, on the other hand, have been perennial losers with a couple of bright spots along the way so this is all new to them as well as the fans. I am going to enjoy this success and this feeling for as long as I can for it may be a one off deal. We went to the Super Bowl back in 99 under Dan Reeves and it took us until now to get back! Strangely enough with another head coach named Dan, lol. What's up with the Dan factor? Hmmmmm. At any rate, I hope for a Falcons Super Bowl victory. I will be blown away to say the least!
