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 [...]
Packers Sign Andrew Quarless
Jul 9th
The Green Bay Packers have locked up fifth-rounder Andrew Quarless, a talented, but troubled tight end from Penn State. Quarless received an $183,000 signing bonus, but salary and length of the deal have not been reported. He was the Packers first of two fifth-round picks (No. 154) and joins guard Marshall Newhouse (fifth), running back [...]
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 [...]
Atari Bigby Plans To Show Up… At Some Point
Jul 7th
What this means, exactly, we’re not sure, but safety Atari Bigby gave some indication yesterday he plans to be a part of the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl run this season. Bigby had the following conversation via Twitter, last night. @PSinghD whats good Atari. I feel some big things for the Packers in 2010. @20ataribigby [...]
Remember That Brett Favre Video?
Jul 6th
If you read this blog, you surely remember the video from St. Paul Pioneer Press Columnist Jim Ragsdale, who, in a lame attempt at humor, made a video plea for quarterback Brett Favre to come back to the Minnesota Vikings. If you didn’t see it, our title for that post was: Another Stupid Brett Favre [...]
Nick Barnett: Super Bowl Or Die
Jul 6th
Just about everyone is jumping on the Green Bay Packers Super Bowl bandwagon and the players are no exception. Linebacker Nick Barnett appeared on NFL Network last week and drank some of the Kool Aid. Barnett was asked, “Super Bowl or bust?” His reply: “Super Bowl or die.” Now, I’d post the video here, but [...]
Watch The Packers Take Some Good Old Fashioned Cheap Shots On The Bears
Jul 2nd
Man, the Green Bay Packers under coach Forrest Gregg were terrible, but if there’s one thing you could count on, it’s that they’d lay some cheap shots on the Chicago Bears. The Bears were good, especially in 1985 and 1986, and the Packers really had no business being on the same field with them at [...]
The Thing About Preseason Predictions
Jul 1st
Is they don’t mean anything. Sure, the Green Bay Packers are the preseason darling of many — the fashionable Super Bowl choice, if you will. What does that get the Packers? High expectations. Granted, there’s no reason this year’s version of the Packers shouldn’t have high expectations entering the season, but it’s July 1. No [...]
Another Stupid Brett Favre Plea From Another Stupid Minnesotan
Jul 1st
Clearly, those idiots to the west don’t know how this Brett Favre thing works. Granted, this will only be the second year of Favre’s tenure with the Minnesota Vikings, and Vikings fans are the most ignorant lot in all of professional sports fandom, so maybe we should give them a break… No, that’s a terrible [...]
Athlete Style Fails: Brett Favre
Jun 30th
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre has never been known as a fashion plate. I’ve never seen him wear a tie, he always has an old t-shirt and baseball cap on during press conferences, and he endorses Wrangler jeans, which sums things up pretty nicely. In short, he has no taste, which is obvious when you [...]
Outside The Lines’ Look At Johnny Jolly And Purple Drank
Jun 30th
ESPN’s Outside The Lines recently took a look at Green Bay Packers defensive end Johnny Jolly’s trial for possession of codeine, and the rising popularity, particularly among athletes from Texas, of the drink Purple Drank. The segment doesn’t really say anything about Jolly we don’t already know, but it does shed a little light on [...]
Watch Detroit Lions President Fail Field Sobriety Test
Jun 29th
I’m not typically one to kick a guy when he’s down, unless that guy is a member of the Minnesota Vikings, but they’re kicking him in Detroit, so we may as well join the party. I’m referring to Detroit Lions president Tom Lewand, who was arrested for DUI (or OWI as it’s apparently called in [...]
Adrian Peterson’s Fiancee Was In Playboy
Jun 29th
Hey, it’s the slow part of the offseason, so we’re going to make sure to bring you as much news revolving around our primary non-Green Bay Packers interest — broads — as possible. We’ve told you about Matthew Stafford’s broad and Aaron Rodgers’ broads and now we’re going to tell you about Minnesota Vikings running [...]
HBO The Latest To Jump On Lombardi Bandwagon
Jun 28th
Vince Lombardi is enjoying somewhat of a renaissance nearly 40 years after his death. In addition to a feature film starring Robert De Niro and a Broadway play starring Dan Lauria, the former Green Bay Packers coach will receive the documentary treatment from HBO later this year. The documentary is produced by HBO Sports and [...]
Collins: We Want No. 1 Defense
Jun 28th
Green Bay Packers’ safety Nick Collins made no bones about it. The Packers want to have the NFL’s No. 1 defense in 2010. “We want to be the No. 1 overall defense,” Collins said. “We want everybody to talk about us, not talk about what we could be.” That might be tough for a number [...]
Atari Bigby vs. Morgan Burnett
Jun 27th
When training camp opens, the Green Bay Packers will have few spots in the starting lineup up for grabs. The only totally open competition is at left guard, where Daryn Colledge will battle Jason Spitz for the starting job. There are other positions that may turn into competitions, however. T.J. Lang and Mark Tauscher may [...]
Jordy Nelson’s Time Is Now
Jun 26th
Jordy Nelson hasn’t exactly set the world on fire since the Green Bay Packers made him their first selection (second round) in the 2008 draft. He’s shown flashes of potential. He’s shown his blazing speed. He hasn’t developed into a top-of-the-line NFL receiver. That shouldn’t necessarily come as a surprise, considering Nelson is sitting behind [...]
