As I’m sure I noted at least 100 times now, I went home for the Green Bay Packers 27-14 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Before the game, we went to the tailgate party at Brett Favre’s Steakhouse – don’t worry, I got plenty of photos of myself defiling the place. Anyway, [...]

The Giants have carried themselves back into the playoff picture

The simplest way for the Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs is to keep winning, but things are looking pretty clear after this past weekend’s slate of games. The Packers, at 8-4, currently hold the No. 6 seed in the NFC. The Philadelphia Eagles (8-4) hold the other wild card slot and the New [...]

He may have played at Rutgers, but Ray Rice is no joke.

Monty: There are a lot of reasons why the Green Bay Packers are going to beat the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. There’s one reason why they won’t – I’m going to be at the game. Not counting preseason, the Packers haven’t won a game that I’ve attended since a 2003 victory over the San [...]

Brett Favre is Fascinating!

Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Brett Favre is fascinating. One of the 10 most fascinating people of 2009. At least according to Barbara Walters. Favre will appear on Walters’ annual 10 Most Fascinating People show on December 9, which made me wonder… well, first it made me gag, and then it made me wonder… what might she [...]

There may be a 40 percent chance of snow when the Green Bay Packers meet the Baltimore Ravens on Monday, but thankfully, the Packers playoff chances are a bit higher than that. According to Advanced NFL Stats, the Packers have a 77 percent chance of making the playoffs as a wild card. They’re followed by [...]

From one great Green Bay Packers’ quarterback to another. Well, not exactly. Bart Starr was on the Brian Kenny radio program the other day, where he touched on various subjects, including your least favorite ex-Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Brett Favre and our main man, Aaron Rodgers. Interestingly, Starr seemed to infer that Favre’s success this [...]

Charles Woodson is looking up at no one in this race.

Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Month on Thursday, for the month of November. This is Woodson’s second such award this season, the first coming for his play in September. Additionally, Woodson has twice been named the NFC’s defensive player of the week, most recently for his [...]

The Chicago Bears have had a lot of quarterbacks over the years – most of them bad. As a Green Bay Packers’ fan, that gives me a warm feeling inside not unlike that of a belly full of whiskey. Here’s a rundown of the Bears’ quarterbacks by John Moschitta Jr., who you may remember as [...]

Chicago Bears Already Looking For Lovie’s Replacement

Lovie Smith - first African American coach to lose a Super Bowl.

At least if you believe several reports that have come out this week. It really should surprise no one, however, if Chicago Bears’ coach Lovie Smith coaches his last game for the team on January 3rd at Ford Field. The Bears, at 4-7, have been atrocious this season after just about everyone in Chicago anointed [...]

We all know Minnesota Vikings’ fans are a classy bunch, and by “classy” I mean an ignorant, classless bunch of scumbags. Well, now we know why. Not only do they breed them that way, they teach them the ways of the douchebag at a young age. It’s a wonder anyone from Minnesota can escape this [...]

To put it simply, the Green Bay Packers need to keep winning in order to make the playoffs, but let’s take a look at their competition. The Packers are currently battling the Philadelphia Eagles (7-4), New York Giants (6-5), and Atlanta Falcons (6-5) for two wild card spots. The San Francisco 49ers (5-6) could also [...]

Yesterday, we took a look at five reasons not to be excited about the Green Bay Packers, making the argument that the team has major flaws that may haunt them down the stretch and into the playoffs. That said, we fully expect the Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs. However, this isn’t a team [...]

The Green Bay Packers have won three straight games after an embarrassing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers almost derailed their season. The Packers sit at 7-4, in prime position for a wild card berth. There are a lot of things to like about the team, right now. But we’re pessimists and therefore, we can’t [...]

Or maybe just like last time. The Green Bay Packers beat the Detroit Lions 34-12, in a game reminiscent of the last time the two teams met in October. The game wasn’t really in doubt at any point, but the Packers hardly looked dominant against an opponent that was clearly overmatched. That was less due [...]

Monty: The Detroit Lions once again demonstrated how bad their defense is in their victory over the Cleveland Browns last week. The Lions allowed Brady Quinn to throw for 304 yards and four touchdowns in that game. Quinn previously had thrown three touchdowns – in his career. In other words, the Green Bay Packers will [...]

Three-time Pro Bowl tight end Mark Chmura has been chosen for the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, according to Jason Wilde at ESPN Milwaukee. We think that’s awesome because Chmura pretty much likes the same things we like – football, booze, young girls… well, we don’t like them that young. Chmura played seven seasons [...]

Chicago Bears Fans Turning on Jay Cutler Already

It’s true. Chicago Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler hasn’t performed up to the lofty, Jesus-like expectations set out for him when he arrived from Denver. Sure, he leads the league in interceptions with 18 (vs. 15 touchdown passes). It’s true that Cutler interceptions put an end to any chance the Bears had in their last two [...]

Capers Defensive Strategy is Curious

This guy shouldnt be covering anyones No. 1 receiver.

Or maybe it’s Dom Capers lack of defensive strategy that’s curious. Either way, the Green Bay Packers defense is a strange beast. One second, they’re dominant. The next… eh, not so much. We are talking about the third-ranked unit in the NFL, but Sunday’s win over the San Francisco 49ers showed just how Jeykl and [...]

During Sunday’s blowout of the Seattle Seahawks fans started the MVP chant for Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Brett Favre. Favre threw four touchdown passes and was 22-of-25 for 213 yards on Sunday. On the season, he’s thrown 21 touchdowns against three interceptions. He also leads the league in quarterback rating at 112.1. Predictably, Favre’s teammates and [...]
