In the world of football, the Heidi game will forever live in infamy as NBC made the dubious decision to stop coverage of a Oakland Raiders-New York Jets game for a pre-scheduled showing of Heidi. The Raiders scored 14 points in the last 65 seconds to win the game, while millions of viewers were stuck watching Heidi frolic in the hills.

It’s always dangerous to read too much into what you see from a distance, but you have to wonder just how involved Vince Young is. When the offense came off the field, third-team quarterback Chris Simms usually joined starter Kerry Collins with offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger to discuss strategy and Young often was not involved.

In week 9 of the NFL, the Green Bay Packers (4-3) traveled to Nashville to challenge the undefeated Tennessee Titans (7-0). Green Bay is coming off their bye week while the Titans had a short week following their Monday night win against the Colts. The game stayed very close throughout its entirety.

My thoughts on today’s thrilling victory, after the jump.

November 2, 2008 Week 9 This NFL season has continued to be hard to predict, and like a jackass that is what I am about to do! New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills This is a game where Brett Favre could remind us all just why he should stay in the NFL, it could also very well be a game where we wouldn’t mind him retiring mid-season. The bills are coming off a losing effort, I see them bouncing back.
