My Pregame Packer Prayer

Tommy Hayfield
Hello God and buenas noches,
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray my Packers you safely keep...
protect them from the boy named Suh
and if his team didn't make it you know what else to do!
Keep those Giants in a midget suit:
make them less fearful like Pee Wee Hermann...
Don't put fear in my lineman either!
Let them be like the Jerry Kramer's of yore:
like towering timbers with petrifying strength!
Unite my Packers in a mission
and make them focused with true and clear vision...
On game day give those bruises salve
so the fleet of the past are fleet again...

I pray to you (this January night) that my team of my dreams
has a safe bus trip and flight

At game time help them to stand upright
to repel the charge
and give them helpful sustenance
for their pregame meal

I pray for safe delivery
for the kicking game balls
and for true boundary lines to be drawn
on the unruly turf

I pray for clear, unobstructed vision for the officials
and for the fans too!

I pray that the redundant safeguards
make every call fair

I pray for FOX to turn down the analysis:
I fear paralysis by analysis

In Green Bay I pray for fresh and delicious brats...
at other venues I care not

If CBS covers it I don't support a gay football revolution:
I want to say that up front

If as an analyst you're inclined to analyze broken knees,
please avoid the repeated slow-motion knee breaker analysis please

To sum it up Senor God,
let's have an exciting game...
because nothing's worse than absurd defensive television coverage
THAT'S LAME!
