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

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 [...]
Aaron Rodgers Rips Kornheiser, Jaworski
Jun 8th
Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesn’t think too highly of two-thirds of 2008′s Monday Night Football team. In an interview with ESPN Radio in Milwaukee, Rodgers ripped commentator Tony Kornheiser. “You know who was better than Tony Kornheiser? Dennis Miller was ten times better,” Rodgers said. “Dennis Miller was a great comedian, but one [...]
Packers Not Happy With Underwood, But Charges Termed Problematic
Jun 7th
In the aftermath of the sexual assault allegations against Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Brandon Underwood several players have voiced their displeasure with the situation, while police say charges will be problematic. As for Underwood being brought up on charges, Lake Delton’s police chief told the Press Gazette he thinks charges will be problematic because there’s [...]
Johnny Jolly’s Trial To Begin First Day Of Camp
Jun 7th
Green Bay Packers’ defensive end Johnny Jolly’s felony drug possession trial has been rescheduled for July 30, the day the Packers open training camp. Jolly’s trial has been pushed back several times now, which was not totally unexpected. In Harris County, Texas, where Jolly will be tried, cases with defendants who are in jail take [...]
Underwood Up To No Good
Jun 6th
Green Bay Packers’ second-year cornerback Brandon Underwood is the player under investigation for a sexual assault that allegedly took place in Lake Delton this weekend, the Journal Sentinel reports. The alleged incident took place Saturday morning during a party at the Wilderness Resort Golf Cabins, after Clay Matthews hosted The McGovern Charity Golf Tournament in [...]
Packers Involved In Sexual Assault Flap
Jun 5th
From the You’re A Rich Athlete, Watch Your Ass Files comes this number: several members of the Green Bay Packers were interviewed as part of the investigation of two alleged sexual assaults at a Lake Delton condo. The incident apparently took place early Saturday morning, after The McGovern Charity Golf Tournament held in nearby Wisconsin [...]
Review: Tecmo Bowl Throwback
Jun 5th
The much-anticipated Tecmo Bowl Throwback was finally released on PS3 this week and I, like so many recovering Tecmo Bowl addicts, downloaded it as soon as I could. At 9.99 in the Playstation 3 marketplace, this shot of gridiron nostalgia was too cheap to pass up. I hadn’t been following the development of the game [...]
Clay Matthews Gets No Respect
Jun 5th
Green Bay Packers’ outside linebacker Clay Matthews is a lot like Rodney Dangerfield. No, he probably won’t build an entire career off the same joke, but he seriously hasn’t been getting any respect lately. First, Matthews was thrown in with his juicehead college teammate Brian Cushing, who tested positive for a known steroid masking substance [...]
Ian Johnson Lives Out My Dream
Jun 4th
Running back Ian Johnson has lived out my dream. You may remember Johnson as the guy who proposed to his cheerleader girlfriend immediately after he scored the winning two-point conversion (on a Statue of Liberty play) in Boise State’s upset over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. But that isn’t the reason. And it isn’t [...]
Face It, Brett Favre Will Never Be A Green Bay Packer Again
Jun 4th
I was holding out a small bit of hope that Brett Favre might again, at some point during my lifetime, be considered a member of the Green Bay Packers’ family. It would be a magical time when we could all just pretend he never stabbed anyone in the back, wasn’t an egomaniacal, selfish prick only [...]
