Crosby Gets A Free Pass, Again
Jun 18th
One thing that irritates me about Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson is their blind faith in certain players who just aren’t very good. See Jarrett Bush as example one. Example two is kicker Mason Crosby. Despite coming off the worst season in his mediocre professional career, Crosby is getting [...]
Think You Can Tailgate And Want To Be On TV?
Jun 17th
I don’t normally post stuff like this, but I thought this was a pretty cool opportunity. I probably would have submitted my own name if I had a “rig.” My crew just gets drunk on Old Fashions three hours before the game. Remember, when you represent Green Bay Packers fans, you’re representing all of us, [...]
NFL, Union Discuss Expanded Season; Developmental League A Possibility
Jun 17th
The idea of expanding the NFL’s regular season to 18 games, and reducing the preseason to two, is rapidly gaining steam among NFL owners. While the idea hasn’t caught on nearly as well with the players, the NFL and the player’s union met for the first time on Wednesday to discuss the possibility, which is [...]
Detroit Lions: Young, Dumb And Full Of…
Jun 16th
Delusion. What? Where did you think I was going with that? There aren’t many people who will argue that the Detroit Lions won’t be improved in 2010. Hell, these guys won two games last season, so there’s not much room to get worse. Still, you have to like the way this team is going if [...]
Williams Apparently Did Sign
Jun 16th
It looks like Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Tramon Williams did sign his restricted free agent tender before the team-imposed June 15 deadline. That fact was confirmed today by the league. Williams is scheduled to make $3.1 million this season. For some reason, Williams’ name did not appear on the NFL’s transaction list on Tuesday. Meanwhile, [...]
Williams, Bigby Remain Unsigned
Jun 15th
Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Tramon Williams and safety Atari Bigby did not sign their restricted free agent tenders by today’s 12 a.m. ET deadline. The Packers gave both players, as well as defensive end Johnny Jolly, written notice of the deadline. The team told all three players they would reduce their tenders to 110 percent [...]
Johnny Jolly Signed His Tender
Jun 15th
Green Bay Packers’ defensive end Johnny Jolly signed his tender yesterday, according to the Journal Sentinel’s Greg Bedard. It’s unclear whether the Packers’ other two remaining unsigned restricted free agents — Tramon Williams and Atari Bigby — signed theirs. The Packers notified all three players they would reduce the tenders to 110 percent of their [...]
Packers Will Reduce Restricted Free Agent Tenders Tomorrow
Jun 14th
The Green Bay Packers plan to reduce the tenders to their three remaining unsigned restricted free agents tomorrow if those players don’t sign before the 12 a.m. ET deadline. This is a course of action we suggested would happen last week, and per usual, the “mainstream” media has caught on. Pro Football Talk reports that [...]
Driver Wants To Play Until He’s 40
Jun 14th
Green Bay Packers’ receiver Donald Driver says he wants to play until he’s 40. This nugget came out when Driver was talking about having his knees scoped, last week. I didn’t pay much attention at the time because one player or another seems to be getting a knee scope all the time. Driver had a [...]
Mason Crosby Will Actually Try To Do His Job This Year
Jun 14th
You know it’s a slow day if we have to write about kickers. You remember those guys who don’t do anything but come out and piss the game away by missing a field goal while time runs off the clock, don’t you? Enter Mason Crosby. How many games did he cost the Green Bay Packers [...]
Checking In On Al Harris
Jun 13th
There hasn’t been anything terribly enlightening in the latest installments of the National Football Post’s video series on Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Al Harris’ rehabilitation. Still, they are kind of interesting if you want to see how he trains in the offseason. Much of the work you’ll see in these two videos is speed training.
Vikings Still Angry, All Of Wisconsin Sheds A Tear
Jun 12th
It appears the Minnesota Vikings still aren’t over their NFC Championship game loss to the New Orleans Saints. According to that fat fuck, drug-abusing defensive tackle Pat Williams, the Vikings are still angry. Oooooooooh! We’re all real fucking frightened! “It was kind of hard (at the beginning) because it was on everybody’s mind,” Williams said. [...]
Keep An Eye On June 15
Jun 11th
On June 15 NFL teams can reduce their contract tenders to unsigned restricted free agents. The Green Bay Packers have three remaining unsigned players — safety Atari Bigby, defensive end Johnny Jolly and cornerback Tramon Williams. Bigby’s tender is for $1.759 million, Jolly’s if for $2.521 million and Williams is for $3.043 million. The Packers [...]
Bigby Gets Closer To Losing His Job Every Day He’s Absent
Jun 11th
Green Bay Packers’ safety Atari Bigby has given no indication he plans on signing his restricted free agent tender and the longer he stays away from Green Bay, the less likely he is to retain his starting spot. The Packers drafted safety Morgan Burnett in the third round of this year’s draft, trading up to [...]
Ahman Green Goes Back To Nebraska
Jun 10th
As was expected, former Green Bay Packers’ running back Ahman Green signed with the UFL’s Omaha Nighthawks, today. Green grew up in Omaha and played collegiately at the University of Nebraska. “I can not wait to put on a Nighthawks uniform,” Green said. “Doing what I do best in the town where I grew up [...]
Rodgers Calls Bashing Of ESPN Inappropriate
Jun 10th
A lot of things we do are inappropriate, like telling the driver that just cut you off exactly what you think of him. That doesn’t necessarily make them wrong. Said driver may indeed lack intelligence, as you pointed out, but maybe that’s something that isn’t appropriate to note. So, when Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Aaron [...]
Underwood Apologizes, Police Say Money Changed Hands
Jun 10th
On Wednesday, Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Brandon Underwood made two apologies — one in private to his teammates for causing a distraction and one in public to reporters. Underwood did not take questions during the media session, but did reiterate what he told teammates, specifically the six players who were questioned as part of the [...]
Woodson Says He Hasn’t Asked For New Contract
Jun 9th
Despite reports to the contrary yesterday, Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Charles Woodson says he hasn’t asked the team for a new contract. The initial report came from Josina Anderson of Fox 31 in Denver. At the time, I wondered what the hell someone in Denver knew about Charles Woodson and the Packers. Now, the answer [...]
Underwood Won’t Be Charged With Sexual Assault, May Be Charged With Solicitation
Jun 8th
Never trust a whore. Those of us who dally in the arts — the art of picking up broads, that is — know it well, and now Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Brandon Underwood knows it, too. As expected, Underwood will not be charged with sexual assault, but he may be charged with solicitation of prostitution. [...]
Packers Reportedly Discussing New Contract With Woodson
Jun 8th
This comes as a bit of a surprise, but the Green Bay Packers and cornerback Charles Woodson are reportedly discussing a new contract. I say it’s a bit of a surprise because, although Woodson is coming off perhaps his finest season, he’ll be 34 this year and still has three years left on his current [...]
