Graham Harell's Glory Days

Flashback time folks. Who here remembers when Graham Harell was a college superstar? I'm not sure if anyone else does, but I sure do. The Texas Tech Raiders had the most vaunted offense in the nation and Graham Harrell was the head of that offense. Here are clips of that offense right here

Hey, if Aaron Rodgers and Matt Flynn get hurt, I wouldn't mind seeing Harrell throw around the pigskin a little bit.

Funny Picture of Matt Flynn

Check out this hilarious picture of Matt Flynn! First of all, the guy is clearly hammered out of his mind, but lets dig a little deeper here. I have to say, Matt, the cigarette is not a very good look for you. Please put that down now. Another thing, I think you can find a classier lady Matt. You don't need a classless blonde that you found at the bar, swing for the fences! Lastly, the outfit. What are you wearing?! Did you have a small ape hang on your under shirt it looks so messed up! I hope that in the next drunk picture that finds its way onto the internet, that you look a little better.

225: weight in pounds of our friend, Matt Flynn

At 25 years old, Matt Flynn has already spent three seasons in the NFL with the Green Bay Packers. He hasn't seen tons of playing time, but has held his own when summoned. Remember back in 2008 when he was one of only six NFL rookie qbs to throw a pass? And how about how solid he was at holding the ball in the last 4 games of the season for field goals and extra points?

In my book, that makes Matt Flynn number 1! Or, at least, the folks who created this fake magazine cover think so...

Matt Flynn

Green Bay Packers’ quarterback, Matt Flynn, was drafted in the 2008 NFL Draft right out of LSU. Matt Flynn signed a four year rookie contract on July 23, which will go through 2011 season. He is currently listed as the Packers' second string quarterback, having won the competition for the back up role to Aaron Rodgers. Although he was seen as less talented due to his smaller size than a few of his competitors, Aaron Rodgers still won the second string position, which was seen as the most exciting battle in tryouts.

Matt Flynn making the Green Bay Packers’ football team made his family proud. Alvin, Matt Flynn’s father, had been the quarterback in the 1960s at Baylor and had high hopes for his five children to become professionals. In High School, Matt Flynn was one of the top-rated quarterbacks in the state of Texas and had the privilege to lead his team to the 5A playoffs and to a semifinal appearance in one of the toughest classifications in Texas despite playing his last four games with a broken foot.

Before joining the Green Bay Packers, Matt Flynn need to prove himself on the LSU football team where he played at quarterback and holder on placekicks. Matt Flynn saw much success over his four years, slowly making his way up the ranks on the team. Flynn was given the opportunity to quarterback for the LSU Tigers at the 2008 BCS National Championship Game where he threw a 22 yard touchdown pass to win the game. Matt Flynn was the starting quarterback his senior year and led the LSU Tigers to a #1 poll position. Matt Flynn is ready to show his fans and the Green Bay Packers why they drafted him in the first place.

Alert! Matt Flynn dating Lacey Minchew!

Talk about a good looking, All-American couple. Green Bay Packers player Matt Flynn is dating Miss Louisiana (USA) 2009, Lacey Minchew!

Lacey Minchew was the winner of Miss Teen USA, representing Georgia, back in 2002. Matt Flynn sure is a lucky guy...and she's a lucky girl! Many people say that Matt Flynn is a dead ringer for actor Matt Damon between the wide jaw, hair color, and friendly smile. What do you think?

In his free time away from the Green Bay Packers and Lambeau Field, Matt Flynn enjoys golfing, fishing, and hunting. I can't really picture Lacey Minchew participating in any of those. Her hobbies probably include tanning, getting manicures and pedicures, and going shopping. I wonder if Matt Flynn enjoys any of those past-times? I can imagine there are some on the Packers roster who wouldn't mind a little pampering now and then, but somehow Matt Flynn doesn't seem to be one of them.
