Jan 31st
Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews finished second to Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu in the NFL Defensive Player of the Year vote.

Where Would The Packers Be Without A.J. Hawk?
Jan 31st
I’ll be honest. I’ve never been a big fan of Green Bay Packers linebacker A.J. Hawk. He’s simply never lived up to his status as the fifth-overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft. No All Pros, no Pro Bowls, never developed into a big-time playmaker. After he didn’t play a snap in the Packers season-opening [...]
Here’s One Reason To Be Optimistic About Sunday
Jan 31st
We haven’t talked a lot about the Pittsburgh Steelers, particularly in a negative light. That’s because the Pittsburgh Steelers scare me. More than the Philadelphia Eagles, more than the Atlanta Falcons and certainly more than the Chicago Bears. Coming into the playoffs, I thought there were two teams who could give the Green Bay Packers [...]
Jeremy Piven Does Not Like Your Super Bowl Matchup
Jan 31st
Jeremy Piven, of Entourage fame, doesn’t like anything about this year’s Super Bowl matchup. Piven was looking for a New York Jets-Chicago Bears game for, who knows why. Probably because he sucks. There honestly couldn’t have been a shittier Super Bowl matchup than that. Anyway, Piven voiced his displeasure over the Green Bay Packers-Pittsburgh Steelers [...]
Trgovac Staying In Green Bay
Jan 31st
Green Bay Packers defensive line coach Mike Trgovac says he’s staying in Green Bay. Trgovac’s name has been mentioned in connection with the open defensive coordinator positions, which are Philadelphia, Arizona and Oakland. Tennessee will also have to hire a defensive coordinator after the team canned head coach Jeff Fisher, last week. Trgovac apparently isn’t [...]
Ryan Pickett Does Not Support Your Porn Habit
Jan 30th
Let’s be honest. We like porn. We also like porn stars. A lot. Green Bay Packers defensive end Ryan Pickett does not share our affinity for flesh, apparently, although we’re sure he’s a real dynamo in the bedroom. Pickett is on the board of directors of xxxchurch.com, an organization that preaches against the evils of [...]
Coincidence?

What’s the phrase? A picture is worth a thousand words? This one might be worth a million.
Bill Murray Thinks Ray Nitschke Is A Pussy
Jan 29th
Bill Murray is awesome. He’s also a Chicago Bears fan, which makes him a little less… scratch that — a lot less awesome. Apparently, Murray was at the NFC Championship game last weekend, cheering on his Bears as they fell to the mighty Green Bay Packers. Sorry, Bill. Anyway, here’s a story we picked up [...]
The Terrible Towel vs. The Titletown Towel
Jan 29th
One my idiot friends who’s a Pittsburgh Steelers fan alerted me to the controversy surrounding the newly-released Titletown Towel. Why is there controversy? Well, Steelers fans feel ripped off because, you know, THEY WAVE TOWELS AT THE GAME, GODDAMMIT! That’s right, Steelers fans wave towels at the games because they don’t know how to cheer [...]

NFC Championship 10-Second Delay
Jan 29th
During our NFC Championship game gathering, we were watching the Green Bay Packers thrash the Chicago Bears on two separate TVs. The small one outside was live. The larger one inside was DirectTV, hence a 10-second delay. Here’s how Sam Shields’ fateful interception to end the game played out in that scenario.
Perry, Not Trgovac, Appears To Be The Guy In Philly
Jan 28th
A week ago, Green Bay Packers defensive line coach Mike Trgovac appeared destined for a defensive coordinator job, either in Denver, where his old boss John Fox was named coach, or Philadelphia, which has been sitting on their hands since firing Sean McDermott. It now looks like Trgovac will be staying with the Packers, unless [...]
Zombo Is Back, Walden Sits
Jan 28th
Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Frank Zombo, who hasn’t played in a game since spraining his posterior cruciate ligament on Dec. 12 at Detroit, finally returned to practice today. While that’s a boost for the Packers, Zombo’s replacement and the guy who has been outplaying him, Erik Walden, sat out Friday’s session with the sprained [...]
How Greedy Is The NFL? This Greedy, Apparently
Jan 28th
Ah, the Super Bowl — the NFL’s one last cash grab of the year. It’s the one game of the year where normal fans are normally priced right out. We didn’t know it was quite this bad, though. If you have an infant, you’ll have to buy them a ticket, too. How do I know [...]

Clifton Will Be Back
Jan 27th
Green Bay Packers left tackle Chad Clifton confirmed he plans on returning next season, earlier this week. There was some thought the 11-year veteran would ride off into the sunset if the Packers win the Super Bowl, but Clifton didn’t hesitate to say no when asked if he might retire. Although he’s been bothered by [...]

Peppers Fined For Hit On Rodgers
Jan 27th
Chicago Bears defensive end Julius Peppers was fined $10,000 by the NFL for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the NFC Championship game. The hit occurred at the 11:20 mark in the fourth quarter and it drew a personal foul penalty. It also looked cheap as fuck, but Rodgers didn’t [...]
