Green Bay Packers: Infamy Avoided
Dec 29th
Yesterday, the Green Bay Packers completed a miserable 6-10 season with a 31-21 victory over the Detroit Lions, and in the process managed to avoid infamy by not becoming the only team to lose to the Lions this year. The Lions are the first team in league history to go 0-16. At times it was [...]
Fox Sports vs. ESPN Or The Non-Story That Was A Story
Oct 24th
As we all know by now, ESPN felt Favregate was a non-story. They even went so far as to circulate an internal memo telling staffers as much, and ordering them not to report on it, as Steffen detailed here. Then, when Brett Favre Almighty held his press conference on Wednesday to somewhat (lamely) deny he [...]
Brett Favre – Who? Me?
Oct 23rd
Well, it’s all crystal clear now. Brett Favre absolutely didn’t do anything wrong in speaking with the Detroit Lions prior to their week two game against the Green Bay Packers. I mean, just ask Brett. “Matt Millen called me,” Favre said. “Matt and I are friends, and he was inviting me to come to his [...]
Marinelli Refuses to Refute Favre Report
Oct 21st
See how I used all of those ‘R’ words in the headline? Some people call that alliteration. From the “What more evidence do you need?” file comes the fact that Detroit coach Rod Marinelli refused to deny that Brett Favre shared detailed information about the Packers’ offense with him and Lions’ coaches prior to the [...]
Brett Favre, You Are Dead To Me
Oct 20th
Blinded with rage, is about the best way I can describe the way I feel about the latest Brett Favre drama. Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer first broke the story Sunday, that Brett Favre divulged nuances of the Green Bay offense to Detroit Lions’ coaches before the Packers v. Lions week two tilt. I know what [...]
Finally, Detroit Sees the Light On Matt Millen
Sep 24th
It was only about three years overdue, but the Detroit Lions have finally parted ways with possibly the worst GM in the history of the NFL, Matt Millen. Under Millen’s tenure the Lions are 31-84, the worst record in the league during the time period, and have gone through three head coaches, and made some [...]
Packers vs. Lions Quick Hits
Sep 16th
As much as I hate to be a wet blanket, Green Bay Packers’ fans should not start chanting “Su-per-Bowl” just yet. Even though Aaron Rodgers continues to impress and the Packers came up with big play after big play, there is plenty of room to improve. The final score, as they say, doesn’t indicate how [...]
NFC North Standings After Two Weeks…
Sep 15th
This is really all I have to say. NFC North Green Bay Packers: 2-0 Chicago Bears: 1-1 Detroit Lions: 0-2 Minnesota Vikings: 0-2 I don’t know if I am happier the Green Bay Packers are in first, or that the Minnesota Vikings are 0-2 and in [...]
Forbes – Packers Worth $1 Billion
Sep 13th
Forbes released their annual valuation of NFL teams on Friday. The Packers ranked 16th, with a total valuation of just over $1 billion, which isn’t bad for a small-market franchise. Dallas came in first at $1.6 billion. The Packers valuation is a 10 percent increase over last year, although analysts predict the team will take [...]
Lions – Trap or Statement For Packers?
Sep 12th
This week’s Green Bay Packers’ opponent, the Detroit Lions, are bad. They’ve been bad since a guy named Barry Sanders left town, and hell, they weren’t even that good when he was there (anyone remember Scott Mitchell?). But if their week one performance against the Atlanta Falcons, who started a rookie quarterback and have a [...]
