We told you that PETA named Lambeau Field one of the most vegetarian-friendly stadiums in the NFL, last month.

Oh Yeah, Packers Are Playing The Bears This Week
Dec 12th
In case you forgot, the Green Bay Packers are playing the Chicago Bears this week. That had kind of slipped my mind because… what’s that old song? Oh yeah, it’s this one. The Bears (5-7) are bad this season for a lot of reasons. Most noted is the fact quarterback Jay Culter leads the league [...]

Dec 11th
You know, I thought I smelled something funny coming from the Twin Cities – and I’m not referring to the stench of inbreeding and ignorance. No, I’m referring to the pungent smell that drifts your way when your arch enemy is more lucky than good. It’s the smell that makes you want to vomit. The [...]
Meet the Drunkest Guy in Green Bay
Dec 10th
As I’m sure I noted at least 100 times now, I went home for the Green Bay Packers 27-14 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football.

Holy Shit, Charles Woodson
Dec 10th
Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Charles Woodson has made play after play this season, many of them game changing and game winning.

Predictions: Packers vs. Ravens
Dec 7th
Monty: There are a lot of reasons why the Green Bay Packers are going to beat the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. There’s one reason why they won’t – I’m going to be at the game. Not counting preseason, the Packers haven’t won a game that I’ve attended since a 2003 victory over the San [...]
Green Bay Really Does Suck
Dec 7th
Hey, it’s nothing personal. I’ve now been in Green Bay for three days and I can tell you, it really does suck. I have a lot of friends here, my family is here, the Green Bay Packers are here, and I love them all, but there really is nothing to do here (except for tonight, [...]
