Give Me The Damn Keyshawn!

The ESPN "Breaking News" slide is still on the screen and I'm already begging Packers GM Ted Thompson to:

Grab Keyshawn Johnson!!

The Carolina Panthers cut him loose just moments ago, and I say it's time for Green Bay to give him a home before his ass completes it's first bounce off the pavement.

Call him "Randy Moss Lite".

Like Moss, Johnson can be a head case, but not nearly as severe of one. He had his battles with Jon Gruden in Tampa Bay, wrote his infamous "Give Me The Damn Ball" drivel his rookie year with the Jets, and earned the nickname "Me-Shawn" from teammates but no less than Bill Parcells hails him as one of the best players he ever coached.

And, he's got a ring.

Plus, he does what Moss could've done: be a possession receiver for Brett Favre whose Jones for an offensive weapon or two to compliment the Packers attack went largely ignored by Thompson and company, a group that consistently seems to send the message that Favre can pretty much go pee up a rope.

Donald Driver, Keyshawn Johnson, Greg Jennings, Robert Ferguson, and, when he's back (if he's back) Koren Robinson, plus the children picked up in last weekend's cattle call. That's a pretty decent gaggle of hands to snag the ball.

Then, we can start looking for someone to RUN it.
