One thing you can bet on when you’re watching the Green Bay Packers’ draft unfold under the mastermind that is Ted Thompson, is that Thompson will come out with more picks than he went in with. In Thompson’s five drafts with the Packers, he’s traded back to pick up additional picks in each year except [...]
Packers May Not Choose Tackle At All

Green Bay Packers’ general manager is an enlightening individual, especially in press conferences. I’m joking of course. It wasn’t really a surprise when Thompson said next to nothing, that is, unless you love cliches and bullshit, in Friday’s press conference with local reporters. However, the one interesting thing he did say probably won’t please anyone [...]

We’ve talked a lot about Maryland left tackle Bruce Campbell simply because he’s been projected as a first-round pick in this year’s NFL draft and the Green Bay Packers badly need a left tackle. The thing with Campbell is, he’s all over the board. Campbell was labeled as one of four year-one starting caliber left [...]

Remember when your pro sports heroes were good, wholesome, family-oriented men who threw touchdown passes during the season and posed for photos with their wife, kids and dog on the family ranch in the offseason? Well, those days are gone. Now, your heroes are more like, well… me. And I’ve never set a good example [...]
Dream Of Acquiring Ted Ginn Shattered, But Fifth-Rounders Are Priceless

Just a quick note, since I did way too much research on the subject the other day in suggesting the Green Bay Packers and do-nothing general manager Ted Thompson could and should realistically look at acquiring Miami Dolphins’ return man/receiver Ted Ginn Jr. — Ginn was traded to the San Francisco 49ers today for a [...]
Onion Sports Network To Hit Comedy Central

It’s true. This is absolutely nothing to do with the Green Bay Packers, but it does have two things that are very important to us here at Total Packers. 1. It has Wisconsin roots. 2. It involves something that’s completely awesome. Wisconsin-born satirical newspaper, The Onion, is getting it’s own show on comedy central. More [...]

Legendary Green Bay Packers’ coach Vince Lombardi isn’t just headed to the big screen, he’s also headed to Broadway. Tony Ponturo and Fran Kirmser (Hair) will produce the play, which is scheduled to debut at the Circle in the Square Theater this fall. Unlike the film Lombardi, which will center on Lombardi’s rivalry with Dallas [...]

The Miami Dolphins’ acquisition of receiver Brandon Marshall from the Denver Broncos has several ramifications, but the one most interesting to the Green Bay Packers is Dolphins’ receiver/return man Ted Ginn Jr. has now been labeled the odd man out in Miami. Let’s get this out of the way first. Ted Thompson is about as [...]

We’ve talked about cornerback Al Harris’ rehab on several occasions, mostly through the help of the video series produced by the National Football Post. While Harris continues to push through what must be a draining process, which you’ll see in the video below, the Green Bay Packers don’t seem to have full confidence Harris will [...]

A day after we told you the Green Bay Packers were looking at running backs in the early rounds of the draft, it looks like they’ve expanded that search to the free agent scrap heap as well. Greg Bedard reported today, the Packers are kicking the tires on former Philadelphia Eagles’ starter Brian Westbrook. Though [...]

The shithole that is Texas Stadium is no more. Home to the Dallas Cowboys for 39 years, and a few too many bad memories for the Green Bay Packers, Texas Stadium was blown the fuck up yesterday. Being the swell guy that he is, Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones charged an admission fee and also let [...]

The Green Bay Packers have a clear-cut starting running back in Ryan Grant and they have several more pressing needs to fill, but word is, the team may consider picking a running back high in this year’s NFL draft. Dan Arkush says the main reason is one we discussed previously – the lack of any [...]
Packers Made A Mistake Not Trading Kampman

Back in October 2009 we suggested the Green Bay Packers could be listening to offers for Aaron Kampman. Ultimately, Packers’ general manager Ted Thompson didn’t make a move and he’s given no indication there were any offers for Kampman or, if there were, what those offers might have been. This offseason, Kampman signed with the [...]

We’ve previously discussed the possibility of the Green Bay Packers opting for a pass rusher in the first round of the NFL Draft simply because the top-flight offensive tackles may be off the board by the time the Packers pick at No. 23. Although there are likely only four or five tackles with first-round talent, [...]

Minnesota Vikings’ and former Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Brett Favre is a grandfather. That’s right. His 21-year-old daughter Brittany recently gave birth to a son. Hey, they live in Mississippi – there’s nothing to do but drink and fuck. Those of you who live in Wisconsin should already know this. And those of you who [...]

The news isn’t earth-shattering, but Green Bay Packers’ offensive lineman and restricted free agent Jason Spitz has signed his tender and reported for the team’s offseason program. The deal will pay him $1.76 million for the 2010 season. Spitz will compete with Daryn Colledge – also a restricted free agent – for the starting left [...]

We’ve been posting all of the Al Harris Road to Recovery videos produced by the National Football Post, but part six really didn’t have anything notable about it, so we disregarded it. Part seven, which was released at the end of last week, is a little bit more enlightening. In it, the Green Bay Packers [...]

The Green Bay Packers have several needs – probably more than a legitimate Super Bowl contender should have – entering this year’s NFL Draft. We’ve been harping on tackle and cornerback as the two biggest areas the Packers need to improve. At tackle, the Packers are relying on veterans Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher. Both [...]

No one will probably ever use the term dynamic to describe the Green Bay Packers’ running game under Mike McCarthy. Ryan Grant is solid, but unspectacular. His backups have been a collection of nondescript guys who typically don’t see much time on the field and that goes for the Packers’ No. 2 runner Brandon Jackson, [...]
