Simmer Down Now, Simmer Down
Sep 23rd
Some great words of wisdom tonight from the Press-Gazette’s Mike Vandermause, who tells rabid Green Bay Packers’ fans something I’ve repeated many times already this week: Calm the heck down people! Admittedly, this is quite the turnaround from Vandermause’s Sept. 20 column “No quick fix can solve this mess,” which may have even spurred some [...]
Packers Inexplicably Cut Aaron Rouse
Sep 23rd
I guess this is fighting fire with fire. If your team is dangerously thin at safety, what do you do? Cut one of your remaining safeties and sign one who has never played in your system, that’s what. At least if you’re Green Bay Packers’ general manager Ted Thompson. Look, I have been a Ted [...]
Nick Barnett Is Frustrated, And So Are We
Sep 23rd
You might have heard that Green Bay Packers’ linebacker Nick Barnett quit Twitter this week, after what some might consider an online meltdown. Barnett first stated his displeasure with the rotation at linebacker – one that on the inside includes himself, A.J. Hawk, Brandon Chillar and presumably, Desmond Bishop. This was the actual tweet, misspellings [...]
Jay Cutler – Drunk, Stoned, or Just Dumb?
Sep 22nd
By now, I’m sure you’ve caught the replay of Jay Cutler getting his helmet knocked off by the referee on Sunday. You know, the one where Cutler is seemingly oblivious to the guy standing right in front of him waving his arms. We mentioned before how Cutler always seems to look drunk, and this only [...]
At Least We’re Not Detroit Lions Fans
Sep 22nd
Or, perhaps more accurately, at least we’re not this Detroit Lions’ fan. Sure, the Green Bay Packers had a terrible day on Sunday, and have a lot of issues that need to be addressed, but things could be worse. I don’t think anyone had a worse day, with possibly the exception of Daryn Colledge, than [...]
The Green Bay Packers Are Bad
Sep 21st
There, I said it. The Green Bay Packers are bad, and it’s depressing. It’s become pretty apparent why the Green Bay Packers are bad, too, after a 31-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals at Lambeau Field. This is a Bengals team that scored seven points last week against the Denver Broncos. That’s seven points against [...]
Bengals 31, Packers 24 – Observations and Opinions
Sep 21st
To quote The Jeffrey Lebwoski, the plan has crashed into the mountain. More painfully one sided than the close score suggests, yesterday’s Green Bay Packers’ 31-24 defeat to the lowly Cincinnati Bengals exposed more weaknesses and vulnerabilities for the Packers. The Packers’ offensive line play was even shakier than last week and aside from a [...]
Good Morning From Total Packers
Sep 20th
Hi. We’re not going to beat around the bush this morning. We wanted to live blog during the game, but fuck. We’re fucking hungover. I don’t mean that we got really drunk last night, because hell, we certainly did that. I mean, we got really fucking drunk last night, and then had a bunch of [...]
The Last Time An Opposing Player Did The Lambeau Leap
Sep 19th
As we mentioned yesterday, Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco wants to do the Lambeau Leap when he comes to town this Sunday. Well, maybe Ochocinco had better think again. The last opposing player to try a Lambeau Leap wasn’t received so warmly. His name was Fred Smoot. He played cornerback for the Minnesota Vikings. After [...]
What To Do About Ochocinco
Sep 18th
As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco wants to do the Lambeau Leap this Sunday when he comes to town to face the Green Bay Packers. “I’m just really focused on going out there and having some fun, and looking to be embraced by the Packers fans, and hopefully I [...]
Packers Youngest Team In NFL… Again
Sep 17th
For the fourth year in a row, the Green Bay Packers have the youngest team in the NFL at an average age of 25.7. The team also has the fewest players over 30, with four. I’ve bitched about this in the past because I felt quality teams had quality veteran leadership. However, at this point, [...]
Top 10 Green Bay Packers Stats We Wished They Kept
Sep 16th
It’s our first (and who knows, maybe last) Green Bay Packers’ Top 10 List – Top 10 Green Bay Packers’ Stats We Wished They Kept. 10. Times Aaron Rodgers has been asked about Brett Favre. 9. Games in which Mike McCarthy didn’t have a pen or pencil stuck in his hat. 8. Messages Reggie White received [...]
The Packers Defensive Resurgence Begins On The Line And A Few Other Notes
Sep 16th
No, it wasn’t lost on us. We pointed out how well the Green Bay Packers defense played in week one both during the game and in the aftermath. That, however, has been somewhat lost in the blather surrounding the terrible performance of the Packers offensive line. It should be noted, though, both Cullen Jenkins and [...]
It’s Time To Jump On The Packers’ Offensive Line
Sep 15th
Or kick them while they’re down, as it were. The Green Bay Packers’ offensive line was the major reason the Packers vaunted offense couldn’t move the ball on Sunday night, and that appears to be the focus going into this weekend’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. As we noted yesterday, the Packers gave up four [...]
How Much More Ridiculous Can This Brett Favre Shit Get?
Sep 15th
Very, apparently. While sifting through the usual crap in my inbox this morning, I happened upon a press release from some knucklehead named Chris Carriveau, who is heading up a “purification ceremony” at the “BLACK SUNDAY EVENT” Saturday, Oct. 31 — the day before Brett Favre returns to Lambeau Field to play the Green Bay [...]
Final Notes On The Packers vs. Bears
Sep 14th
The Green Bay Packers escaped Lambeau Field with a 21-15 victory over the Chicago Bears last night. I say escaped because despite a rousing performance by the Packers’ defense, which forced Bears’ quarterback Jay Cutler into four interceptions and held Matt Forte to just 55 yards rushing, the team was lucky to come out with [...]
Packers Bears Live Blog
Sep 13th
Big time play by a big time player: Al Harris to close it out! Packers 21-15. ———- My stupid friends who are Bears fans just texted me before that play to Jennings. Idiots! mwahahahahahaha! ———- I apologize, that would be Aaron Rodger’s third fourth quarter comeback. The first two were against the Lions, which really [...]
What Brett Favre Told Packers Fans
Sep 12th
From where I stand there is one big thing missing from this ridiculous Brett Favre saga – an acceptable message from him directly to Green Bay Packers’ fans. Doesn’t anyone think Favre owes Packers’ fans an explanation? Favre has enjoyed arguably the best career of any Packers’ player. Sure, he gave the Packers a lot, [...]
It Is My Duty To Bring The Lingerie Football League To Your Attention
Sep 11th
I’m not sure where I was, or how I missed this announcement, but there is a Lingerie Football League. This is presumably an offshoot of the Lingerie Bowl, which I can’t say I’ve bothered to watch. However, these lingerie/football people now have 10 teams and will play a full schedule of games. That’s right: hot, [...]
Brad Childress – Idiot
Sep 11th
In yet another display of why he is quite possibly the worst coach in the NFL, Minnesota Vikings’ coach Brad Childress surprised many Thursday by releasing wideout Bobby Wade only a week after Wade agreed to rework his contract and take a $1.5 million pay cut. His replacement? Greg Lewis, a former Philadelphia Eagles’ receiver [...]
