Surprise! Lambeau Field Toughest NFL Venue
Jun 7th
Seriously, whoever came up with the idea to rank the 10 toughest venues in the NFL must be a brain surgeon.

NFL Has No Scheduling Plan For Shortened Season
Jun 7th
After we wrote about the NFL planning for an eight-game season, someone asked me if I knew how the league would handle the schedule.

Jared Allen: (Not Surprisingly) Still A Douche
Jun 7th
Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen is just so awesome! He’s awesome and totally cool in a way anyone who isn’t a dumb redneck just wouldn’t understand! In other words, he’s (still) a douchebag. And Minnesota Vikings fans still love him. You know, peanut butter and jelly.
NFL Season Could Be Eight Games
Jun 6th
I really hate the NFL right now. Hate everything about it.

An eight-game season would begin in late November, with a whopping five [...]
Driver Aiming For Hall Of Fame
Jun 6th
Donald Driver will one day enter the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame, but surprisingly, Driver has his eye on the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. “If I can play two to three more years and put a nice little stamp on it, those records will stand there forever, and when it’s all said and done, maybe one day I can stand up here in Canton, Ohio, saying, ‘I made it,’” Driver said.
Best Quarterbacks In NFL History: Green Bay Packers
Jun 5th
Certainly, this is another subjective list, but it’s hard to argue with the Green Bay Packers as the franchise with the best quarterbacks in NFL history. The important thing to note here is quarterbacks is plural, so this isn’t a Johnny Unitas vs. Joe Montana argument. NFL.com’s Dave Dameshek recently took a look at every NFL [...]
Opened Books: Packers Financials, Facts, And What They Mean
Jun 4th
Throughout the current NFL labor dispute, the supposedly defunct NFLPA has responded to calls from the owners to accept a smaller share of the revenue pie with the rallying cry, “show us your books!” This resonates easily with the public, which sees the logic of demanding the owners prove their claim the current CBA is untenable and that [...]

NFL, Players In Settlement Talks: What It Means
Jun 2nd
There have been cryptic reports surfacing this week that NFL owners and players were holding secret meetings in Chicago to resume negotiations on a collective bargaining agreement.

Fox Sports Ranks Packers No. 1 NFL Organization
Jun 2nd
Fox Sports’ Adam Schein compiled his third annual NFL organization rankings and not surprisingly, the Green Bay Packers came out on top, dethroning two-time winner, the New England Patriots. What does this mean? Probably not much, other than the Packers rate highly in several subjective categories. While the categories used to determine the rankings — [...]
Bowen: Finley Key To Beating Bears
Jun 2nd
We all know Green Bay Packers tight Jermichael Finley is an impact player. We also know adding him to an already-potent offense could make the Packers almost unstoppable in 2011, but the National Football Post’s Matt Bowen says Finley is the key to beating the Chicago Bears. The Packers had significant trouble with the Bears last season.
Vikings’ Four Worst Moments Since 1987
Jun 1st
We love tales of Minnesota Vikings woe almost as much as we love the Green Bay Packers, so it’s literally impossible for us not to tell you about Pro Football Talk’s list of the team’s four worst moments since 1987, which is the last time there was a lockout. PFT previously looked at the Packers’ four worst moments. The Vikings’ list of failure and ineptitude is much longer, though.
A.J. Hawk Still Loves Jim Tressel

Former Ohio State and current Green Bay Packers linebacker A.J. took some time to defend his former Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel, who resigned amid allegations of NCAA rules violations on Monday.

Things That Don’t Happen Often As Important As Those That Do
May 30th
Prior to the 2009 NFL Draft, there were a lot of whispers the Green Bay Packers were interested in outside linebacker Larry English of Northern Illinois.

Offensive Line Takes Lead On Workouts
May 29th
It looks like the Green Bay Packers offensive linemen are taking the lead on organized workouts during the lockout.

Packers Will Have Ring Ceremony Despite Lockout
May 27th
We already know rules don’t apply to the NFL, especially their own.

Vikings Offense Now Perfectly Tailored For Idiots Running It
May 26th
We all know that collection of sheep fuckers, pedophiles, stalkers and Taser bait known as the Minnesota Vikings aren’t the smartest bunch. Oh, that’s right, they canned the pedophile. Nonetheless, the Vikings offense last season under coach Brad Childress and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell was often too complex for the morons running it.
