Ooooooooooh! The Vikings Get Tough

No, I’m not talking about the Minnesota Vikings football team. They’ll always be a bunch of non-Super-Bowl-winning pansies. I’m talking about the Vikings’ ownership, who issued some sort of ultimatum to the state on Tuesday after the state legislature predictably did nothing to finalize a deal for a new Vikings’ stadium before the legislative session [...]

As expected, the Green Bay Packers three remaining unsigned restricted free agents didn’t show for the start of organized team activities, Tuesday. Those players are defensive end Johnny Jolly, cornerback Tramon Williams and safety Atari Bigby. As I mentioned, the players’ absences were expected, since 1. none of them have signed their restricted free agent [...]

Yes, this happened late last week, but sometimes we’re a little slow around here at Total Packers headquarters. For instance, when we’re hungover. Anyway, Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers took a little swipe at ESPN and specifically, football analyst Todd McShay, via Twitter. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to watch film [...]
No New Movement Likely On Vikings’ Stadium Until 2011

The Minnesota Vikings’ quest for a new stadium isn’t likely to be addressed any further until next year. The Minnesota state legislature adjourned on Monday after a marathon budget session without acting on the Vikings’ stadium bill, which was first introduced on May 3. As we predicted then, the bill, which had two options for [...]
Bryan Bulaga Is Pretty Strong

Green Bay Packers’ first-round draft pick Bryan Bulaga is a big boy, but he showed he’s a little more than just a wide body last night. Bulaga took batting practice before the Milwaukee Brewers went out and got swept by the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. While quarterback Aaron Rodgers and tackle Mark Tauscher combined for [...]
Packers Lead King’s Power Rankings

The Green Bay Packers lead Peter King’s first 2010 NFL power rankings, which were published in this morning’s Monday Morning Quarterback column. I’m less than excited about this for a couple of reasons. First, I think King is way off base about as much as he’s right about anything. Second, it’s fucking May and training [...]
Aaron Rodgers Played With Substantial Injuries

Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers admitted to WTMJ Radio that he played the 2009 season with substantial injuries. Rodgers appeared on the Packers’ injury report five times during the season, being listed as probable each time, which doesn’t equate to substantial injuries in football terms. However, team’s often play fast and loose with their [...]

Green Bay Packers’ receiver James Jones is making the rounds. Earlier this week he was kicking your kid’s ass at arm wrestling. Now, he’s giving Houston Texans’ linebacker Brian Cushing the business. Jones was asked by a Milwaukee radio station what he thought of Cushing winning the defensive rookie of the year in the AP [...]
For The Last Fucking Time, Don’t Tell Me Who’s A Real Packers Fan Or How To Feel About Brett Favre

Every time we write something about Lord Brett Favre some idiot comments and chastises Packers fans who no longer like or support the Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback. Without fail, someone will say something like this: any Packers fan that doesn’t like Brett Favre isn’t a real Packers fan. It’s something Favre said himself when he went [...]
Graham Harrell To Work Out With Packers

We usually don’t post stuff about guys who work out for the Green Bay Packers. The Packers simply don’t sign many of them, but Graham Harrell is an interesting case. If you recall, Harrell was Texas Tech’s quarterback in 2008, when he absolutely torched the Big 12, throwing for 5,111 yards and 45 touchdowns. He [...]

The Green Bay Packers’ Tailgate Tour is traipsing around Wisconsin this week and while I could really care less, I got a chuckle out of this video of Packers’ receiver James Jones. During a stop in Rhinelander, which appears to have been held on a hockey rink no less, Jones took the time to arm [...]

Brett Favre won’t have ankle surgery! That’s the word from Charley Walters of the Pioneer Press, who decided to give the news, or rumor, the following one line in yesterday’s column. Hot rumor is that QB Brett Favre will decline to have left ankle surgery as recommended by an orthopedist. What that means for his [...]

Houston Texans’ linebacker Brian Cushing won the defensive rookie of the year again, in an unprecedented re-vote by the Associated Press, which hands out the award. The re-vote was called after Cushing was suspended four games by the NFL for violating the league’s policy on steroids and related substances. Cushing didn’t receive anywhere near the [...]
The Ascendance Of T.J. Lang Will Have To Wait

Green Bay Packers’ tackle/guard/man with no home T.J. Lang is expected to compete for a starting spot on the offensive line this season. It would be a surprise to me and probably a lot of other people if he didn’t win either the right tackle or left guard spot. But before we go and insert [...]

Green Bay Packers’ safety Atari Bigby, one of the team’s three unsigned restricted free agents, appears to be the most likely to hold out, according to Greg Bedard, via Cheesehead TV. Two sources said he had designs on staying away to get a contract extension, perhaps even into training camp after signing his tender. But [...]

Now that Houston Texans’ linebacker Brian Cushing has been suspended for violating the league’s policy on steroids and related substances, the Associated Press, which presents the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year Award, has decided to re-vote for the honor. Cushing will remain on the ballot, but there’s a chance he won’t win the award [...]
Daryn Colledge Signs Tender

What exactly took so long is unclear, but Green Bay Packers’ left guard Daryn Colledge finally signed his restricted free agent tender and reported to Green Bay on Monday. Perhaps the idea that Colledge was angry with the Packers for either not tendering him at the first-round level or he wanted out of town were [...]
A Green Bay Packers Prayer

I’m not sure whether I’d call this a prayer or perhaps a revision of the Bible, but this drunken Green Bay Packers’ fan has an epic rant about the Packers, Aaron Rodgers and a few other teams. Oh, and to make it even better, he’s shitfaced, decked out in full Brewers gear and is wearing [...]

I can’t recall a time when a seventh-round draft pick has been this pissed off, but Green Bay Packers’ seventh-round draft pick C.J. Wilson feels a little slighted. Wilson had delusions of grandeur entering the NFL Draft, thinking he would be drafted in the fourth or fifth round. I’ve seen at least one prognosticator who [...]
Newhouse Could Spell The End For Colledge Or Spitz

I can’t say I was overly impressed with the selection of TCU’s Marshall Newhouse, who the Green Bay Packers selected with their second fifth-round pick in this year’s NFL Draft. Newhouse played left tackle in college, but projects as a guard in the NFL. With Josh Sitton entrenched at right guard, Jason Spitz and Daryn [...]
