JEREMY SHOCKEY : Ugh. Where am I? What is this place? Why… why am I wearing this Giants jersey? I’ve been a Saint for years now. SHAUN ALEXANDER : Jeremy? Jeremy, is that you? JEREMY : Shaun, what is this place? What’s going on? SHAUN : No one knows. We all woke up here like you did, most of us wearing uniforms we hadn’t worn in years.

As the Green Bay Packers make their push toward the playoffs, they know a seemingly beatable team like the Seattle Seahawks can jump up and bite them.

Going into Sunday's home finale for the Packers (9-5) at Lambeau Field, Rodgers recalled an unpleasant moment in last year's 27-17 victory over the Seahawks: He said defensive end...  

Many things can happen at the bottom of a pile. A finger to an eye, a twisted arm, a sucker punch, the list goes on. But biting?
