As much as I want Woodson to play I'd rather have him sit and be healthy for the stretch run and playoffs but if he wants to play let him play.
As long as it's a good game I'll be happy. Hopefully we get the W though.
Go Pack.

"Al Harris is the most underrated player in the NFL and the best corner in the league."
- Put Up Your Dukes, Roy Williams for Jamie Dukes, NFL Network
"Everybody asks me who I think the best corner in the NFL is and Al Harris is the best corner in the NFL. I love to play against him twice a year and it's always a matchup. He's going to win plays, I'm going to win plays. We're just out there competing…
"He's 8 feet, 12 inches. His arms are 36 feet long and he's so strong with those long arms. His arms drag on the floor and when he puts those arms on you, you're not going anywhere. It's really like a boxing match. You have to fight, using your hands. He's so skinny, yet so strong and that's what makes him so good…
"I vote for him for the Pro Bowl year in and year out…He will shut down that No. 1 receiver, whoever he is matched up with. They may leave the game with two catches for 29 yards. That's just the type of player he is…
"He's my measuring stick for how good I can be against him because like I said, I think he's the best corner in this league."
- Roy Williams, Detroit Wide Receiver
Chad Johnson of the Cincinnati Bengals:
"His ability to win at the line of scrimmage and his ability to transition if he doesn't, puts him in the same class as Champ (Bailey). He can do the same things that Champ can do. Those are the only two who I've seen who are able to do that. That's why I put him up there with the rest of them. He's ridiculous. He's ridiculously good."

Word to the NFL, (!kill yourself!) get OUT of the tv business. Does anybody else feel like we'll be talking about this issue again next year?
Change-Up: Packers To Wear White Jerseys In Dallas
by Mike Spofford, Packers.com
posted 11/28/2007
With eight straight losses at Texas Stadium, the Green Bay Packers certainly are looking to change their luck on Thursday night.
Maybe a change of clothes will help.
Unlike in any of those eight defeats to the Dallas Cowboys between 1993 and 1999, the Packers will be wearing their white jerseys on Thursday in the much-hyped meeting between the NFC's two best teams, both 10-1.
The Cowboys, who traditionally wear their white jerseys at home while the visiting team wears its colored ones, will instead be wearing their alternate uniform that features a blue jersey with white shoulder trim. Dallas' alternate uniform also includes a white helmet, rather than the customary silver helmet, with the blue star.
Packers' equipment manager Red Batty said he found out about Dallas' choice of uniforms for this game back in training camp, when teams notify the league of the uniforms they plan to wear for their home games. Once the entire list is updated, teams use that to determine which uniforms to pack for their various road games.
If the home team, which controls its choice, wears a colored jersey, the visiting team brings white, and vice-versa. It's not common for teams to wear white at home, but some do regularly, including Dallas, Miami and Carolina. The Packers have worn their green "home" jerseys in all their recent visits to Texas Stadium.
"When I saw it, it sort of surprised me," Batty said. "I called Dallas equipment manager Mike McCord just to make sure this was right."
Batty has been the Packers' equipment manager for the past 14 seasons, and consequently for the last six of the defeats during the current losing streak at Texas Stadium. Prior to working for the Packers, Batty held the same position with the then-Houston Oilers for 12 seasons.
"I tell you what, it's going to be different when I put those white uniforms in the lockers tomorrow," Batty said on Wednesday during the team flight. "Because in my mind, we always wear green in Dallas. In all my years in the NFL, I've never put out a white uniform in Dallas."
The change actually saved Batty and his staff some work for this game. This season, the Packers have a special patch on their green jerseys commemorating the 50th anniversary of Lambeau Field. But that patch would have to have been removed for a road game, and then replaced for the next home game.
Now, all that hassle isn't necessary, and sticking with the white jerseys on the road could be a good thing. The Packers are 5-0 on the road this season, wearing white each time. They are 10-3 on the road in Head Coach Mike McCarthy's two seasons and have worn green on the road just once, in a victory at Miami last season.
Batty said he didn't think the players were even aware what they would be wearing on Thursday as they got on the team charter plane Wednesday afternoon. Some of the team's young players who aren't as knowledgeable about Green Bay's history in Dallas won't think anything of it when they find out, Batty said, but some most definitely will.
"I guarantee you at least a dozen guys will make a comment when they see them, that 'Wow, we're wearing the whites,'" Batty said.
"It's a refreshing thing, and it's another positive note to take into this game. We've been pretty successful in that white uniform."
Directv baby
Basically thats the lick right there.
