NFL TO HONOR GENE UPSHAW ALL SEASON LONG...

T.I. BISHOP G.E. T.D. JOSEPH C. Upshaw's initials and his uniform number will be stenciled on the field for all 16 games this opening weekend. The league originally said his initials would be stenciled on the field for just two games: the season opener at Giants Stadium between the Redskins and Giants and for the Denver-Oakland game at Oakland, where Upshaw played his entire 15 seasons. A video tribute to Upshaw will also be shown during games this weekend, the AP reports. Upshaw died of cancer two weeks ago at age 63. JsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

The Focus on the Family prayed for a storm of biblical proportions to disrupt Barack Obama’s outdoor acceptance speech, and bless their little hearts, they got one.

Oh sure, NOW they pay attention to New Orleans. Wonder why that is? Oh yeah, that’s right. Eight weeks. Election. Thankfully, Gustav did not live up to his sister’s reputation as world- class bitch, so things are returning to normal up here in St. Paul. But normal might not be enough.

Because if you're asking the latter, frankly, that's a heck of a slap in the face for Ryan Grant. He stepped up last year!No, there's a clear difference between the two. It's one thing to step up, enjoy a stellar season and prove you can compete at this level. That's an important label in Green Bay, or at least it has been for the past decade and a half. You might remember the previous guy to hold the distinction. I'd print his name again, but I'll spare you having to rehash that old summer story. Besides, if you don't know where ol' No. 4 is playing today, I'd recommend you find yourself another fantasy sport.So there's the challenge for Grant: go from out-of-nowhere breakout performer to "face of the Packers." And cou...
