Green Bay Packers’ defensive end Johnny Jolly’s felony drug possession trial has been rescheduled for July 30, the day the Packers open training camp. Jolly’s trial has been pushed back several times now, which was not totally unexpected. In Harris County, Texas, where Jolly will be tried, cases with defendants who are in jail take [...]

From the You’re A Rich Athlete, Watch Your Ass Files comes this number: several members of the Green Bay Packers were interviewed as part of the investigation of two alleged sexual assaults at a Lake Delton condo. The incident apparently took place early Saturday morning, after The McGovern Charity Golf Tournament held in nearby Wisconsin [...]
Clay Matthews Gets No Respect

Green Bay Packers’ outside linebacker Clay Matthews is a lot like Rodney Dangerfield. No, he probably won’t build an entire career off the same joke, but he seriously hasn’t been getting any respect lately. First, Matthews was thrown in with his juicehead college teammate Brian Cushing, who tested positive for a known steroid masking substance [...]
Ian Johnson Lives Out My Dream

Running back Ian Johnson has lived out my dream. You may remember Johnson as the guy who proposed to his cheerleader girlfriend immediately after he scored the winning two-point conversion (on a Statue of Liberty play) in Boise State’s upset over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. But that isn’t the reason. And it isn’t [...]
Face It, Brett Favre Will Never Be A Green Bay Packer Again

I was holding out a small bit of hope that Brett Favre might again, at some point during my lifetime, be considered a member of the Green Bay Packers’ family. It would be a magical time when we could all just pretend he never stabbed anyone in the back, wasn’t an egomaniacal, selfish prick only [...]

There was a time when Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Al Harris said he would return from his knee injury in six months. The injury happened in November, so that date has passed and as the days go on, it seems unlikely Harris will be ready for football action anytime soon. Yesterday, it was noted that [...]

This news both brings me great joy and increases my staunch support of Green Bay Packers’ general manager Ted Thompson, who is completely brilliant. You see, the Packers didn’t bother to add a player of note at the left outside linebacker position because they’ve got Brady Poppinga. You know, the guy who has amassed four [...]

OK, so Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Al Harris isn’t back on the football field, but he’s back in Green Bay, where he’ll finish rehabbing his surgically-repaired knee. Harris made a surprise appearance at the Packers’ OTAs on Wednesday and said he intends to stay, although he isn’t close to returning to the field. When asked, [...]

Green Bay Packers’ defensive end Johnny Jolly’s trial for felony drug possession is set to begin on Friday and it has been previously speculated that if convicted, Jolly would likely receive probation as a first-time offender. Today, it was revealed that the stakes are a lot higher. Per Greg Bedard, the prosecution intends to present [...]

It’s only OTAs, but Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy made an interesting comment today just after I was done questioning the team’s cornerbacks. McCarthy told reporters cornerback Brandon Underwood, a sixth-round pick out of Cincinnati in 2009, has made the biggest jump from year one to year two. Now, we don’t want to read [...]

Sure, Green Bay Packers’ defensive end Johnny Jolly has made more than a few questionable decisions, from committing personal fouls on the field to hosting parties while awaiting trial in a felony drug case to submitting to a voluntary polygraph test and failing.

Much has been made of the games the Green Bay Packers lost to the Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as the playoff loss to the Arizona Cardinals, last season. The main culprit in those losses was the Packers’ pass coverage, or lack thereof. The Packers could have improved the area in the offseason [...]

Green Bay Packers’ defensive end Johnny Jolly, who is still awaiting trial for felony drug possession in Houston, has been labeled as deceptive, and not because of his blazing speed. A report filed with the court on May 19 concludes Jolly was deceptive during a polygraph test about questions related to the conditions of his [...]

There might be a reason for you to hold off on buying another beer between quarters when you’re in Lambeau Field this season. That’s because the NFL RedZone, which broadcasts real time look-ins and highlights from NFL games, will be available in all 32 NFL stadiums this season. Previously, NFL teams could only broadcast NFL [...]

Running back Ahman Green doesn’t appear to be in the Green Bay Packers’ future plans, and at 33 there’s at least one good reason for that — his age. However, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a team interested in Green, who’s the Packers all-time leading rusher. The Omaha Nighthawks of the UFL have expressed interest [...]

The Green Bay Packers presented no less than seven possible options for expanding Lambeau Field to focus groups, Friday morning.

If you like NFL football, then you should start preparing yourself for more of it. Word is, the next round of collective bargaining agreement negotiations will focus on expanding the regular season to 18 games. That’s two more weeks of meaningful Green Bay Packers’ games, two more weeks where we don’t have to pay attention [...]
