Then Green Bay Packers general manager Ron Wolf got a steal when he sent the 19th pick to the Atlanta Falcons for quarterback Brett Favre in 1992. Neither the Packers or Falcons knew then what Favre would become, but former Falcons coach Jerry Glanville says he decided to move Favre for one reason – he [...]

Not many of us who pay close attention to the comings and goings of Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre have much doubt he’ll play in 2010, but then, you don’t want to jump to conclusions until he says so himself. Today there is word out of New York, where the New York Jets signed running [...]

After signing four of their own free agents and doling out somewhere in the neighborhood of $80 million to do so, the Green Bay Packers have done quite a bit to solidify their team for 2010 and beyond. Besides getting Nick Collins, Ryan Pickett, Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher back into the fold, the Packers [...]

OK, maybe he didn’t exactly say that, but Green Bay Packers cornerback Al Harris really can’t bend his surgically reconstructed knee, at least not fully. In part four of the video series on Harris’ rehabilitation, produced by the National Football Post, Al shows you just what a surgically repaired knee can do – or not [...]

By Green Bay Packers’ standards, the team has been active during free agency. They haven’t signed a player from another team, but they’ve now signed three of their own players after inking safety Nick Collins and nose tackle Ryan Pickett today. There are conflicting reports on Collins’ contract. Per Pete Dougherty, Collins received a four-year [...]

The mock drafts are beginning to pile up and while most of them don’t catch our attention, there are a few people we pay attention to because they put way too much time into analyzing the NFL Draft. Two of those people are ESPN’s Mel Kiper and Todd McShay, who released their latest mock drafts [...]

No one is ever going to confuse an offensive lineman with an electrical engineer, but Green Bay Packers guard Daryn Colledge could take stupidity to a new level. College, who is a restricted free agent, wasn’t happy the Packers tendered him at the second-round level and now he’s apparently considering staying away from offseason activities [...]

Robert De Niro has signed on to play Vince Lombardi in the upcoming big screen production of Lombardi, and more than a few of us are skeptical. Travis Bickle doesn’t bear much of a resemblance to Lombardi. So, we thought we’d go out and get you a shot of De Niro as Lombardi. Actually, we [...]

I’ll be honest, I like to laugh at the Chicago Bears, whether they’re mortgaging their future to acquire Jay Cutler, pretending they have serviceable wide receivers or completely bungling their search for an offensive coordinator. Under general manager Jerry Angelo, the Bears are funny. And yes, I mean funny like a clown. So, the Bears [...]
