By Paul Smythe  There is nothing like a nationally televised football game, unless of course, it is a nationally televised Miami Dolphins game.  This game will be Chad Henne’s first game of the season that will be viewed by the entire country, and I expect him to show up in a…

Chad Clifton was essentially the savior of the Packers last season. In games he started, the Packers were 7-1 and gave up 13 sacks and in games he did not start, the Packers were 4-4 and gave up 37 sacks. That being said, why would you give this guy 20…
