Matthews And Raji Expected To Improve Pass Rush
Jul 17th
NFL players generally improve from their rookie year to their second year. The Green Bay Packers are counting on just that to improve their pass rush in 2010, according to Dan Arkush.

Darren Perry: Deadbeat
Jul 16th
Green Bay Packers safeties coach Darren Perry is a deadbeat. Either that, or he’s sticking it to the man. Perry was outed as one of Northampton County’s (Virginia) biggest delinquent taxpayers. Perry owes the county $14,140.21 for unpaid real-estate taxes over the past two years. Perry has not paid his $7,070.21 annual real-estate tax bills [...]

More Details Emerge On The Brett Favre Divorce
Jul 15th
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre is a megalomaniacal prima donna, this we know. We all knew he wanted to stick it to the Green Bay Packers when they decided to move on, even though he said he didn’t. Despite his previous denial that his move to Minnesota wasn’t about revenge, Favre now admits he wanted [...]
Woodson Cannot Be Burned By Receivers Or Flames
Jul 14th
Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson does not get burned on the football field, but that’s nothing compared to what Woodson went through last weekend. Woodson escaped a house fire in Bay Harbor, Michigan after a party being held to celebrate the homeowner’s family gift to, and naming of, the University of Michigan Women’s Hospital. [...]

Jul 14th
You know it’s slow in Packerland when the locals are reporting on news potentially happening.

Trouble Brewing In Minnesota?
Jul 13th
As you probably know, I hate the Minnesota Vikings. More than terrorists. So, this potential disaster/distraction/whatever puts a smile on my face. Vikings running back Adrian Peterson isn’t happy. Who would be, playing for that despicable franchise? Michael Lombardi reports Peterson will be the next player to complain about his contract. Peterson is still playing [...]
Packers Got Lucky With Woodson, Were Really After Arrington
Jul 13th
National Football Post founder and former Green Bay Packers vice president Andrew Brandt has written a few posts about free agency in the NFL, recently. The short of his message is this: it usually doesn’t work out. One of the exceptions to the rule, however, was the Packers signing of cornerback Charles Woodson. As we [...]
The Losers In Minnesota Keep Lining Up
Jul 12th
If we only had a firing squad here at Total Packers, we’d all be much better off. That way, when these ignorant, moronic, mouth breathers from Minnesota line up for their latest Brett Favre stunt, we could do society and future generations a favor. Frankly, the stench of idiocy emanating from Minnesota never ceases to [...]
Al Harris: Rap Producer
Jul 12th
If you’ve checked out any of the videos of Green Bay Packers cornerback Al Harris rehabilitation this offseason, you’ve noticed the consistent presence of rap music. Specifically, you’ve heard the lyric “the proof is coming soon,” on several occasions. Someone asked what the music was and where it came from, and honestly, I had no [...]
Is Westbrook Still An Option In Green Bay?
Jul 10th
Earlier in the offseason, the Green Bay Packers expressed interest in free agent running back Brian Westbrook. The former Philadelphia Eagles star has had injury problems his entire career and missed eight games with concussions in 2009, but when healthy, Westbrook has been a force, twice rushing for 1,200 yards. Now 30, Westbrook appears near [...]

Lambeau Field May Be Enclosed To Create Wall Of Sound
Jul 9th
I wanted to get to this before the week was out, since it was first mentioned on Monday, when most of us were either nursing hangovers or just not paying attention. One of the options the Green Bay Packers are considering as part of their plan to expand Lambeau Field is enclosing the south end [...]
Ranking The Packers Blogs
Jul 8th
This probably isn’t going to be what you think. I’m not going to sit here and analyze the strengths and weaknesses of all the Green Bay Packers blogs out there. Recently, Cheesehead TV did a list of the top 15 Packers blogs, doing precisely that. We made the list, which was nice. Of course, on [...]
Are The Packers Full Of Themselves?
Jul 8th
Do the Green Bay Packers need an ego check? It’s an interesting question and one that bears some discussion after Nick Barnett made his Super Bowl or die proclamation last week. Certainly, both fans and coaches want their players to believe in themselves. Confidence is important, but overconfidence can be a major obstacle towards achieving [...]
Even Married, Jared Allen Still A Douche
Jul 7th
We told you full-time asshat, part-time Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen was getting married. Guess what? That obviously crazier-than-a-shithouse-rat bitch actually went through with it. So we all get to hear about Allen’s honeymoon, which was a camping trip to Arkansas stay on the coast of Italy. And just when you think Allen can’t [...]
