Brett Favre Must Really Be Retiring Because He’s Hawking Collectibles

We didn’t pay much attention when former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre filed his retirement papers, this morning. So what? We thought. It’s not that we think Favre will change his mind and come back sometime next August. It’s just that after getting beat around, both on the field and in his private life, while [...]

Chicago Bears fans are the bane of my existence, this week. They’ve already started talking shit. They might as well have their fun now because they’re not going to have any after Sunday. I’m just going to bide my time until then. On Sunday I’ll unleash the fucking fury and make them sorry they were [...]

By the time the Green Bay Packers play the Chicago Bears on Sunday for the NFC Championship, you’re going to be sick of hearing about the Green Bay Packers playing the Chicago Bears for the NFC Championship. The Packers and Bears have only met once in the playoffs — in 1941, a Bears’ win. Of [...]

Okay, let’s move past the obvious har-har headline and just get to the point. This is Aaron Rodgers. Suck on my fucking nuts, Colin Cowherd! Hahahahahaha! The Green Bay Packers rolled into Atlanta with all the expectations and in a game you’d think they’d lay an egg because they believed their own hype, they flat-out [...]

Adrian Peterson And His Girl Bladder Will Not Save Your Job

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has a tiny, girl bladder and like all Minnesota Vikings, a cold, cold heart. Apparently, Peterson and his little girl bladder had to piss so badly he stood outside a McDonald’s drive-thru at 3 a.m. and asked to be let into the store. The assistant manager, who was working [...]

I know. It’s not the offseason yet, but some people are getting an early jump on looking at the Green Bay Packers free agents to be. One guy who’s in an even more dubious position than receiver James Jones, whose chances of returning to the Packers seem about 50/50, is running back Brandon Jackson. When [...]

Predictions: Packers vs. Falcons

Shawn: The Green Bay Packers couldn’t have asked for anything better than a second shot at the Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome. It’s been around 15 degrees in Green Bay, so I’d be pumped about getting out of here and playing in a dome if I were a member of the Packers. This year’s [...]

Jones May Not Be Back

Posted in James Jones | 26 comments

We surmised that receiver James Jones would be at or near the top of the list for a new contract after the Green Bay Packers re-signed Desmond Bishop to a long-term deal, but that may not be the case. Word is, the Packers are debating whether Jones is worth a long-term investment. The reason isn’t [...]

Aaron Rodgers vs. Matt Ryan

Posted in Aaron Rodgers, Atlanta Falcons | 21 comments

The Green Bay Packers play the Atlanta Falcons this week and everyone wants to compare Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers with Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan. There’s good reason for such nonsense — they’re both young, they’ve both been called the next so-and-so, they’ve both enjoyed success early in their career, etc. In fact, if you take [...]

Walden Is Better Than Zombo, Jones

Posted in Brad Jones, Erik Walden, Frank Zombo | 22 comments

Erik Walden didn’t look like much of a player when the Green Bay Packers picked him up earlier this season. The linebacker had been waived by the Miami Dolphins and when the Packers signed him, joined his third team in his fourth NFL season. Walden had a grand total of 23 tackles — all on [...]

Here’s Another Green Bay Packers Rap Song

It’s like any jerk who sings a song about the Green Bay Packers and posts a video on YouTube can get some space on this blog… yeah, that’s pretty much the case. I’m kidding. It either has to be something that’s unintentionally funny or has to be something I figure someone might find cool. Aaron [...]

I’ve never had an issue with ESPN Radio and television personality Colin Cowherd until recently, but that’s mostly because I stopped listening to anything he had to say several years ago. Back then, I often listened to his morning radio show and I sometimes found him insightful and always felt he called it as he [...]

Yeah, I sucked you right in with that one, didn’t I? While we all know Brett Favre has some kind of problem… scratch that… all kinds of problems, we didn’t know it extended to the rest of his family. No, Brett Favre is not a meth head, but it looks like his younger sister Brandi [...]

Matthews Is Sporting News Defensive Player Of The Year

Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews has been tabbed the defensive player of the year by The Sporting News. Whether that transfers over to the “real” award, which is voted on by the Associated Press, remains to be seen, but Matthews will have some real competition from Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu. That being [...]

Green Bay Packers rookie running back James Starks is getting a bit of attention after running for 123 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild card round. As Greg Gabriel, former director of college scouting for the Chicago Bears, tells it, Starks almost didn’t make it to the Packers on draft day. As we [...]

No one has ever accused Philadelphia Eagles fans as being a classy bunch. In fact, everyone pretty much thinks they’re a bunch of fucking assholes, which is absolutely the case. This is the group that cheered when Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin lay motionless on the turf after suffering a neck injury in Philadelphia in [...]

Packers Have Looked Into Atlanta Replay Situation

If you remember the first time the Green Bay Packers played the Atlanta Falcons this season, you’ll remember coach Mike McCarthy not challenging a fourth-and-3 catch by Falcons tight end Tony Gonzales. The replay showed Gonzales didn’t make the catch, but the televisions in the Georgia Dome were delayed at least 15 seconds and the [...]

He’s this cool. Right in the middle of his post-game interview with Fox’s Pam Oliver, Rodgers gets interrupted by Philadelphia receiver and fellow Cal Bear DeSean Jackson, who wants a man hug. Rodgers obliges and then continues the interview without missing a beat.

We didn’t pay much attention to the fact Oakland Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha became a free agent after his contract voided, earlier this week. The Green Bay Packers already have two Pro Bowl-caliber cornerbacks in Charles Woodson and Tramon Williams. They don’t really need another. However, there are reports Asomugha is interested in playing for [...]

It’s one of those things that sits in the back of your mind that you don’t want to remember. And then someone brings it up and you can’t help but think about what could have been. The Green Bay Packers are playing the Philadelphia Eagles this week. You know the play I’m talking about. 4th [...]
