The Super Bowl Is About A Lot of Things

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 [...]
Bears Can’t Give Away Defensive Coordinator Job

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
Shawne Merriman On The Packers

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 [...]

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 [...]
Jared Allen Wants More Favre Man Love

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 [...]

The spin machine is working overtime in Chicago where the Bears have hired former St. Louis Rams coach Mike Martz as their offensive coordinator. The disaster that is the Chicago Bears organization tells it like this: Martz was the Bears first choice all along and the only one offered the job. In reality, the Bears [...]

The NFL announced its 2000s All-Decade Team on Sunday during the Pro Bowl that me and no one else watched, and two Green Bay Packers made the squad. Actually, we should say one member of the Green Bay Packers and one former Packer. They were cornerback Charles Woodson and safety Darren Sharper. After playing eight [...]
Stay Classy, Minnesota: McKinnie Booted From Pro Bowl Team

The Minnesota Vikings continued their long history of classy behavior over the weekend when tackle Bryant McKinnie, who had no business being in the game anyway, got kicked off the NFC Pro Bowl squad. How does one do such a thing? Well, skipping practice and not telling anyone is a good start. McKinnie blamed his [...]
Most of Packers Offensive Line Under Scrutiny This Offseason

With the way the Green Bay Packers offensive line performed during the 2009 season, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that three of the five spots are likely to be in flux this offseason. Chad Clifton’s left tackle spot was a weakness for most of the season and right tackle was a major problem until [...]
Vikings May Make Run At Donovan McNabb

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb’s days in the city of brotherly love have seemingly been numbered for years, but there are indications the Eagles may actually be looking to move him this offseason. If they do, one very possible destination is Minnesota, where the Vikings have put themselves smack in the middle of The Third [...]

If you’ve been looking for reasons to watch the Pro Bowl this weekend, you’ve probably realized there aren’t a lot. None of the Colts or Saints will play. A lot of the top-tier players have dropped out with injuries – Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Larry Fitzgerald, Steven Jackson and Charles Woodson, to name a few. [...]
Resentment on the Packers’ Coaching Staff?

The Green Bay Packers may have some resentment to deal with on their coaching staff in the coming months. Back in early January the Packers denied the Chicago Bears permission to speak to quarterbacks coach Tom Clements about their open offensive coordinator position. At the time, I just laughed, but the Packers move may have [...]

Since we’ve been foaming at the mouth for the past two days about Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings’ playoff implosion, we’ve ultimately ignored some Green Bay Packers “news.” One of those items is the fact that former Denver Broncos and current Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Mike Nolan admitted that he turned the Packers down [...]

There was a wide range of reaction to the Minnesota Vikings’ loss to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship game on Sunday. To those of us who are Green Bay Packers’ fans, Brett Favre’s game-killing, bone-headed interception wasn’t a surprise. In fact, we knew all along that Favre would eventually force a ball [...]

Yup. It’s all about Brett Favre leading up to the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints showdown for the NFC Championship. Should we have expected anything different? No. The media has always splooged all over themselves when it comes to Favre, and even more so in recent years. Because you know – “Brett Favre just [...]
