Steffen: The Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers are heading in opposite directions. The Packers are riding high, winning their last five games in a row. The Steelers have succumbed to injuries and in-fighting and have been loser of their last five contests. On paper, the Packers should dominate, but as we know, football, [...]

Maybe the Bears should consider a new plane.

The Chicago Bears are bad this season, but now we have confirmed that their ineptitude stretches beyond the field. The Bears can’t get to Baltimore to play their game against the Ravens tomorrow. The team was supposed to leave Chicago at 10:30 Friday night. That didn’t happen. The team sat on the plane for two [...]

The Packers have been finding ways to control the game

A lot of reasons have been bandied about for the Green Bay Packers resurgence in the last five games. Most spectators point to the Packers’ dominant defense. Others focus on the improvement of the offensive line. Those things have been a big part of the Packers’ recent success, but here’s the real reason the Packers [...]

Around these parts it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that the Green Bay Packers’ Charles Woodson will be the NFL Defensive Player of the Year. We’ve looked at the competition and crunched the numbers. But we may have overlooked one guy – New York Jets’ cornerback Darrelle Revis. Previously, our discussion centered around the Minnesota [...]

You could probably sleep in here if you had to

We’ve covered the continuing saga of the Minnesota Vikings and their desire to get out of the Metrodome and into a new stadium extensively, but here’s some evidence of just how bad that stadium really is. The Minnesota Twins, the other resident of the Metrodome, will begin play at a new, non-domed, non-relic-of-yesteryear stadium next [...]

I hate to say this, but most fans of professional sports are idiots, which is why I hate the fact that fans have a say in which players play in the respective all-star games. I should put a disclaimer here, because I don’t lump Green Bay Packers’ fans in with most sports fans. Their passion [...]

That’s right. Even though Green Bay Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly was re-indicted for possessing 200 grams of codeine on Tuesday, he doesn’t care. Why? Because Jolly is the chosen one. “Man I don’t worry about nothing,” Jolly said. “I’ve got God on my side. I can’t trust The Man, but as long as I’ve [...]

Unfortunately, Cutler doesnt have the sweet-ass stache

According to NFL analyst and former Baltimore Ravens coach Brian Billick, Chicago Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler is the new Jeff George. George is the former No. 1 overall draft pick who played for seven teams in his 14 NFL seasons. He had the strongest arm I’ve ever seen, but was severely lacking in the areas [...]

Mason Crosby Sucks, But Packers Won’t Make Change

Crosby has a cry after missing on Sunday.

Green Bay Packers’ kicker Mason Crosby is in the midst of a terrible season and a downward spiral that began last season, but the team is standing behind him. Why? They don’t really have a choice. Crosby is 24-of-32 on field goals this season. He’s hit 75 percent of his kicks, which ranks him 26th [...]

The Green Bay Packers have 18 players in their contract year after Monday’s resigning of linebacker Brandon Chillar. However, the situation isn’t as dire as it may look. The collective bargaining agreement – the agreement between the owners and player’s association that dictates the rules of the salary cap, free agency, guaranteed spending, rookie salaries, [...]

Do not confuse this with real or tasty food

We told you that PETA named Lambeau Field one of the most vegetarian-friendly stadiums in the NFL, last month. This coming from the land of fried cheese curds, beer brats and artery-clogging goodness was a bit surprising, if not completely inexplicable. Well, now Lambeau has made another list – best football stadium food by Woman’s [...]

Chillar is now in the same tax bracket as this douche.

With 18 players who have expiring contracts and more than $15 million in salary cap room, the Green Bay Packers finally got off their asses and re-signed someone to a long-term deal. That someone is linebacker Brandon Chillar, who received a four-year, $21 million extension today. Chillar will see $7 million in guaranteed money. Although [...]

The Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears 21-14 to keep the team in playoff position. It was a satisfying win for the team, but one that should or could have been a blowout. The Packers lead 13-0 in the first half, but as they’ve done all season, let their opponent back into the game [...]

Lance Briggs is the heart of the Bears, but he hasnt been doing much of this.

Monty: The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears are on opposite sides of the football map. The Packers are riding high on a four-game winning streak, sporting a rejuvenated offense and the NFL’s No. 1 ranked defense, with a playoff berth within reach. The Bears have lost four of their last five with an underachieving [...]

In case you forgot, the Green Bay Packers are playing the Chicago Bears this week. That had kind of slipped my mind because… what’s that old song? Oh yeah, it’s this one. The Bears (5-7) are bad this season for a lot of reasons. Most noted is the fact quarterback Jay Culter leads the league [...]
