This One Takes The Cake

Of all the ridiculous contracts handed out to NFL players, this one's the worst. Tampa Bay inked WR Michael Clayton to a 5 year - $26 million deal. Yup, the same guy who killed your fantasy team a few years ago. After a sweet rookie year, he's basically been Todd Pinkston...but worse, much worse. Clayton's career numbers:

2004: 80 rec, 1193 yds, 7 tds
2005: 32 rec, 372 yds, 0 tds
2006: 33 rec, 356 yds, 1 td
2007: 22 rec, 301 yds, 0 tds
2008: 38 rec, 484 yds, 1 td

26 million dollars...awesome.

FLATTEN THE BUCS!!

The KC Wolf didn't come through last week, but he's relentless. Just look at that hustle! Check out the determination! One bad week doesn't stop this animal.

Brian Gresie did his best Timmy Chang impression by chucking it up 67 times last week in Chicago. With the Packers top 5 guys in the secondary banged up, he might try for 80. Seriously, can Mossy Cade suit up? Tyrone Williams? All but SpleenBoy Harris should play.

A nice little test for Rodgers. The Bucs play the vaunted "Tampa-2" defense which has know to cause headaches for even the most experienced QBs.

The team says Rhyno Grant is finally %100 and showing full burst. Let's hope he has %100 grip on the football as well.

Big game (they're all big, right coach) in that Green Bay has a very winnable game in week 5 - Atlanta at home. 3-1 going into that "gimme" would be sweet.

It's ugly, but a Packer wn: Green Bay 20, Tampa Bay 16.
