Posted in Charles Woodson | No comments

Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson does not get burned on the football field, but that’s nothing compared to what Woodson went through last weekend. Woodson escaped a house fire in Bay Harbor, Michigan after a party being held to celebrate the homeowner’s family gift to, and naming of, the University of Michigan Women’s Hospital. [...]

You know it’s slow in Packerland when the locals are reporting on news potentially happening. The Green Bay Packers are reportedly close to signing safety and third-round draft choice Morgan Burnett. “Before this week is out is a possibility of the deal possibly being done,” Robert Brown, Burnett’s agent, said. “You’re just trying to make sure [...]

Trouble Brewing In Minnesota?

As you probably know, I hate the Minnesota Vikings. More than terrorists. So, this potential disaster/distraction/whatever puts a smile on my face. Vikings running back Adrian Peterson isn’t happy. Who would be, playing for that despicable franchise? Michael Lombardi reports Peterson will be the next player to complain about his contract. Peterson is still playing [...]

Packers Got Lucky With Woodson, Were Really After Arrington

National Football Post founder and former Green Bay Packers vice president Andrew Brandt has written a few posts about free agency in the NFL, recently. The short of his message is this: it usually doesn’t work out. One of the exceptions to the rule, however, was the Packers signing of cornerback Charles Woodson. As we [...]

The Losers In Minnesota Keep Lining Up

If we only had a firing squad here at Total Packers, we’d all be much better off. That way, when these ignorant, moronic, mouth breathers from Minnesota line up for their latest Brett Favre stunt, we could do society and future generations a favor. Frankly, the stench of idiocy emanating from Minnesota never ceases to [...]

Al Harris: Rap Producer

If you’ve checked out any of the videos of Green Bay Packers cornerback Al Harris rehabilitation this offseason, you’ve noticed the consistent presence of rap music. Specifically, you’ve heard the lyric “the proof is coming soon,” on several occasions. Someone asked what the music was and where it came from, and honestly, I had no [...]

Earlier in the offseason, the Green Bay Packers expressed interest in free agent running back Brian Westbrook. The former Philadelphia Eagles star has had injury problems his entire career and missed eight games with concussions in 2009, but when healthy, Westbrook has been a force, twice rushing for 1,200 yards. Now 30, Westbrook appears near [...]

The Green Bay Packers have locked up fifth-rounder Andrew Quarless, a talented, but troubled tight end from Penn State. Quarless received an $183,000 signing bonus, but salary and length of the deal have not been reported. He was the Packers first of two fifth-round picks (No. 154) and joins guard Marshall Newhouse (fifth), running back [...]

Lambeau Field May Be Enclosed To Create Wall Of Sound

I wanted to get to this before the week was out, since it was first mentioned on Monday, when most of us were either nursing hangovers or just not paying attention. One of the options the Green Bay Packers are considering as part of their plan to expand Lambeau Field is enclosing the south end [...]

This probably isn’t going to be what you think. I’m not going to sit here and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of all the Green Bay Packers blogs out there. Recently, Cheesehead TV did a list of the top 15 Packers blogs, doing precisely that. We made the list, which was nice. Of course, on [...]

Are The Packers Full Of Themselves?

Do the Green Bay Packers need an ego check? It’s an interesting question and one that bears some discussion after Nick Barnett made his Super Bowl or die proclamation last week. Certainly, both fans and coaches want their players to believe in themselves. Confidence is important, but overconfidence can be a major obstacle towards achieving [...]

Even Married, Jared Allen Still A Douche

We told you full-time asshat, part-time Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen was getting married. Guess what? That obviously crazier-than-a-shithouse-rat bitch actually went through with it. So we all get to hear about Allen’s honeymoon, which was a camping trip to Arkansas stay on the coast of Italy. And just when you think Allen can’t [...]

What this means, exactly, we’re not sure, but safety Atari Bigby gave some indication yesterday he plans to be a part of the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl run this season. Bigby had the following conversation via Twitter, last night. @PSinghD whats good Atari. I feel some big things for the Packers in 2010. @20ataribigby [...]

If you read this blog, you surely remember the video from St. Paul Pioneer Press Columnist Jim Ragsdale, who, in a lame attempt at humor, made a video plea for quarterback Brett Favre to come back to the Minnesota Vikings. If you didn’t see it, our title for that post was: Another Stupid Brett Favre [...]

Just about everyone is jumping on the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl bandwagon and the players are no exception. Linebacker Nick Barnett appeared on NFL Network last week and drank some of the Kool Aid. Barnett was asked, “Super Bowl or bust?” His reply: “Super Bowl or die.” Now, I’d post the video here, but [...]

Watch The Packers Take Some Good Old Fashioned Cheap Shots On The Bears

Man, the Green Bay Packers under coach Forrest Gregg were terrible, but if there’s one thing you could count on, it’s that they’d lay some cheap shots on the Chicago Bears. The Bears were good, especially in 1985 and 1986, and the Packers really had no business being on the same field with them at [...]

Is they don’t mean anything. Sure, the Green Bay Packers are the preseason darling of many — the fashionable Super Bowl choice, if you will. What does that get the Packers? High expectations. Granted, there’s no reason this year’s version of the Packers shouldn’t have high expectations entering the season, but it’s July 1. No [...]

Another Stupid Brett Favre Plea From Another Stupid Minnesotan

Clearly, those idiots to the west don’t know how this Brett Favre thing works. Granted, this will only be the second year of Favre’s tenure with the Minnesota Vikings, and Vikings fans are the most ignorant lot in all of professional sports fandom, so maybe we should give them a break… No, that’s a terrible [...]

Athlete Style Fails: Brett Favre

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre has never been known as a fashion plate. I’ve never seen him wear a tie, he always has an old t-shirt and baseball cap on during press conferences, and he endorses Wrangler jeans, which sums things up pretty nicely. In short, he has no taste, which is obvious when you [...]

ESPN’s Outside The Lines recently took a look at Green Bay Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly’s trial for possession of codeine, and the rising popularity, particularly among athletes from Texas, of the drink Purple Drank. The segment doesn’t really say anything about Jolly we don’t already know, but it does shed a little light on [...]
