Peprah, Bigby Will Split Snaps

Charlie Peprah will remain the Green Bay Packers starting strong safety, but it appears it’s only a title. Despite playing some outstanding football of late, that apparently isn’t enough to keep Atari Bigby, who saw his first action of the season against the Dallas Cowboys, off the field. Nope. The Packers have come up with [...]

Predictions: Packers vs. Vikings

Sarah: Round two of Brett Favre vs. the Green Bay Packers unfolds Sunday afternoon at the Metrodome. The first round ended with a defeated old man limping off Lambeau Field following a 28-24 loss. Will anything be different this time around? Probably not. The Minnesota Vikings’ season has been a letdown, to say the least. [...]

The Chicago Bears Might, Kinda Be For Real

No one has really taken the Chicago Bears seriously this year, particularly in these parts. In fact, they only beat the Green Bay Packers because the Packers handed them the game on a silver platter with a team-record 18 penalties, terrible special teams play, and poor coaching decisions by Mike McCarthy. Still, a win is [...]

Dom Capers A Head Coach? I Don’t Think So

Nothing against Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers, but the guy isn’t an NFL head coach, despite the support he seems to be garnering around Green Bay. On Wednesday, Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Capers was worthy of a head coaching job. I respectfully disagree, Mike. Capers is a great defensive coordinator, something he [...]

Clay Matthews: Don’t Touch The Hair

Oh, wait. It was Tony Manero who uttered, “Don’t touch the hair!” Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews may be saying it next, though. We first heard about Matthews’ desire for some sort of hair-related endorsement deal prior to the Packers thrashing of the Dallas Cowboys in an interview with Bob Costas. At the time, [...]

You’re Welcome, Mike Neal

Like a lot of people, I openly wondered why the hell the Green Bay Packers drafted a defensive end in the second round of this year’s draft. The Packers’ defensive line looked to be one of the strengths of the team, at the time. The team seemingly had more pressing needs at other positions, as [...]

Shields Will Be One Of League’s Top Corners

Posted in Sam Shields | 6 comments

In some circles — namely, mine — Green Bay Packers rookie cornerback Sam Shields has already been labeled a future starter with the potential to be a star. Shields, who has tremendous speed, has improved by leaps and bounds since coming to the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of Miami, where he played [...]

Why It All Went Wrong For The Vikings

Oh, those poor Minnesota Vikings. They’ve become the NFL’s freak show. Not only does their team, at 3-6, suck, but no one likes head coach Brad Childress, quarterback Brett Favre is now recognized more for sending photos of his cock to Jenn Sterger than anything he’s doing on the football field, and the team’s early-season [...]

So, the geniuses at Deadspin are compiling a list of the 100 worst NFL players and, as you might expect, there are number of Green Bay Packers on the list. Tony Mandarich? Yup. He’s there. Ahmad Carroll? You bet! The rest — and we’re only through the first 50 up to this point — are [...]

McCarthy Talks About Tauscher’s Career In Past Tense

Green Bay Packers tackle Mark Tauscher was put on injured reserve last week after the Packers decided he wouldn’t be able to fully recover from a shoulder injury. Tauscher has been out since the injury occurred in week four and although he’s been progressing, he would have had to play with a harness if he [...]

Peprah Is The Packers Starting Strong Safety

Green Bay Packers strong safety Atari Bigby saw his first action of the season in the Packers’ last game, but he didn’t return to the starting lineup after his return from the physically unable to perform list. Charlie Peprah, initially an injury replacement for rookie Morgan Burnett, remained in the role. It looks like Peprah [...]

Childress Won’t Be Fired; Favre Still A Girl

The Minnesota Vikings suck, which is really too bad. The Vikings dropped to 3-6 after a 27-13 loss to the Chicago Bears, on Sunday. Afterward, the speculation about coach Brad Childress’ job continued. However, owner Zygi Wilf said he had no plans to fire Childress, after the game. As for the mighty quarterback, Brett Favre, [...]

I know what you’re thinking. Disgusting. Well, that’s the Minnesota Vikings for you. Maybe it’s his lucky thong. Oh, and have I mentioned the Vikings are 3-6 after losing to the Chicago Bears, yesterday? Hahahaha! Via Cosby Sweaters

Earlier this fall, I gathered some of my friends together. The goal: sample some of Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson’s wine. If you don’t know the story, Woodson owns a winery in Napa Valley — TwentyFour Wines. Woodson got into wine and bought the vineyard when he played for the Oakland Raiders, hence the [...]

I know, the Green Bay Packers aren’t playing this weekend. You’re probably going through withdrawals, bouncing off walls, huddled in the corner wondering what to do or some combination of the three. So, here are some helpful suggestions to get through the weekend alive, until your beloved Green Bay Packers return next week. 1. Pay [...]

Packers Sign Havner, Tauscher To Injured Reserve

As expected, the Green Bay Packers signed tight end/linebacker Spencer Havner. Coming as somewhat of a surprise, is the Packers cleared a roster spot for Havner by putting tackle Mark Tauscher on injured reserve. Tauscher has been battling a shoulder injury and hasn’t played since week four. Rookie Bryan Bulaga has started in Tauscher’s place [...]

Can You Help Block An NFL Lockout?

To answer the question honestly, I don’t know. In fact, I’d probably say I doubt it. NFL owners seem intent on locking out the players prior to next season if they don’t get what they want in a new collective bargaining agreement. What that potentially means for you and I is no NFL games to [...]

For the second year in a row, former Green Bay Packers and current Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Aaron Kampman tore his ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. Last November, Kampman tore his ACL in the Packers’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Yesterday, Kampman tore his ACL in practice. It’s unclear whether [...]

Minnesota Vikings: Pants Optional

We’re going to presume this is Minnesota Vikings owner Zygi Wilf’s right hand man, even though he’s standing to his left. We’re not really sure they know the difference between right and left in Minnesota, anyway. Maybe this dude had his pants stolen by coach Brad Childress. He is staring a hole through the back [...]

Hey, remember me? I’m Jenn Sterger, the chick that allegedly received inappropriate messages and cock shots from Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre. Sterger finally sat down with NFL officials after weeks of deliberating, stalling, hoping to get a financial settlement, working the story for publicity or whatever your take on the events are. Sterger gave [...]
