It was short and sweet, but Vince Lombardi’s Super Bowl II pre-game speech was to the point and he probably didn’t have to say much to the 1967-68 Green Bay Packers anyway.
The team finished 9-4-1 that season and after beating the Dallas Cowboys in the Ice Bowl, would go on to handle the Oakland Raiders [...]
Sure, there’s a football game to be played between the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts, today, but the Super Bowl is about a lot of things.
Like partying, for instance. And no one does it quite like Minnesota Vikings tackle Bryant McKinnie. You know, the guy who got kicked off the Pro Bowl squad last [...]
We had to have a chuckle at ESPN’s Sports Nation poll, the other day. Not because it was a predictably stupid question, but because of the results, which showed a distinct disparity between Minnesota and the rest of the nation.
The question: How are excited are you for the Super Bowl?
The choices: More excited than most [...]
Much like their open offensive coordinator position, which they finally filled with their seventh choice, the Chicago Bears couldn’t find a defensive coordinator.
So, on Friday they decided to give up and make assistant head coach/defensive line coach Rod Marinelli their defensive coordinator.
Wait a minute, you say? I know this Marinelli guy!
You sure do, because prior [...]
In case you haven’t heard, there’s a pretty big football game this Sunday. Yes, the Super Bowl is almost here.
As a Green Bay Packers fan, it’s tough to have a rooting interest. The Packers have been out of the tourney for a number of weeks and you can no longer root for whoever is playing [...]
Hey, his soul is already gone, so why not sell his NFL allegiance?
Seriously, this happened.
Dylan Stenglein, a Minnesota Vikings fan, sold his NFL allegiance on eBay. The winning bid was $140, which is impressive, considering a Vikings fan isn’t worth more than a stale loaf of bread.
I kid, of course. Stenglein wasn’t selling himself as [...]
The headline here pretty much says it all, don’t you think?
But in case you’re a Minnesota Vikings fan or just some idiot from Wisconsin’s inferior neighbor to the left who’s vaguely aware that there’s a sports team that tosses around a brown rock on certain Sunday’s throughout the year, let me explain further.
A bunch of [...]
It’s complete and total fantasy, but it’s a fantasy started by Green Bay Packers inside linebacker Nick Barnett, so we’ll explore it.
If you watch football, you probably know Shawne Merriman is an outside linebacker for the San Diego Chargers. Merriman would have been an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but will now be restricted because [...]
Some interesting tidbits have come out about the Green Bay Packers free agent priorities in the past week. Although he’s clearly their top player without a contract for the 2010 season, safety Nick Collins is not at the top of the Packers’ list of players to resign.
The main reason is Collins will be a restricted [...]
It’s not surprising that the Minnesota Vikings want quarterback Brett Favre back next season. Despite his soul crushing, game-ending NFC Championship game interception that made those of us in the Green Bay Packers camp giddy like a child on Christmas morning, Favre had a pretty nice year – a lot nicer year than Tarvaris Jackson [...]
