Training Camp Observations — August 19
Aug 19th
The following is from Green Bay Packers training camp on Aug. 19. Moving Bulaga around In an interesting development on the offensive line, rookie Bryan Bulaga, who was spending most of his time at left guard, was moved back to starting left tackle for the morning practice with veteran Chad Clifton resting. Bulaga has been [...]
Training Camp Observations — August 17
Aug 18th
The following is a look at Green Bay Packers training camp on Tuesday, August 17. The Green Bay Packers third running back is….. With Kregg Lumpkin and rookie James Starks both injured, it’s a little unclear who is going to step up and take the third running back spot on the team. Now that Brian [...]
Madden Likes The Packers
Aug 14th
I don’t usually pay much attention to stuff like this, but I found it interesting that in a simulation of the 2010 season on Madden 11, the Green Bay Packers fared pretty well. In the simulation, the Packers finished with a 12-4 record and won the NFC North. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was named NFL MVP [...]
Havner Back At Linebacker
Aug 12th
Spencer Havner was a linebacker in college and spent his first couple years in the NFL at the same position before switching to tight end prior to last season. Havner looked like he had found a home at tight end — entering training camp No. 2 on the depth chart — and had carved out [...]
Jermichael Finley Is A Moron
Aug 10th
This, according to former Green Bay Packers tight end Mark Chmura, who has made a questionable decision or two himself. Chmura has repeatedly called Jermichael Finley a moron on his radio show. “He is a great player, but he is a moron.” Chmura said Sunday during his gig as a host on ESPN Radio 540. [...]
Training Camp Observations, Aug 5, Full Pads
Aug 5th
Here’s a quick look at Green Bay Packers training camp from Aug. 5. Breno Giacomini running with the No. 2 offense Maybe this is due in part to T.J. Lang being a little banged up, but Breno Giacomini has been lining up with the second-string offense at right tackle and even lined up with first [...]
Training Camp Observations, August 3, Evening, Full Pads
Aug 3rd
The weather man was wrong. It’s sunny and 85 degrees about an hour before practice. Quick observations: – There is a lot of talk here in Green Bay on the Brett Favre retirement. My thoughts — he stays retired until September 9th when, while mowing the lawn, he decides to drive the lawnmower to the [...]
Training Camp Observations, Aug. 3, Morning Shells
Aug 3rd
I’m here at the early practice once again. It’s 70 degrees, overcast, and very humid. Quick observations: Team drills – Brandon Chillar gets the nod at OLB with Brad Jones still out. – Looks like we’ll have a long portion of team drills. Not much to report during those. Game situation, offense vs defense – [...]
Top 15 Celebrity Green Bay Packers Fans
Jul 28th
I noticed earlier this week that Samuel L. Jackson made some sort of rally video for the Atlanta Falcons. I didn’t bother to watch it because, frankly, the Atlanta Falcons suck and so does Samuel L. Jackson. That’s right. I said it. He’s played himself in every damn movie he’s ever been in and the [...]
WhatIfSports: Packers Win Super Bowl XLV
Jul 24th
We’ve talked about the importance, or lack there of, of preseason predictions. However, WhatIfSports.com is a little bit different and little bit more intriguing. The site uses a computer to generate the results for each NFL game of the season based on player stats. Of course, they’re using 2009 season stats for their projections at [...]
Aaron Rodgers: Cover Boy
Jul 20th
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been anointed a fantasy stud by ESPN, which put Rodgers on the cover of their July 26 edition of ESPN The Magazine. Perhaps more interesting is the cover story itself, which paints Rodgers as a cool, charismatic character, but one who has overcome quite a bit of disappointment. [...]
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 [...]
Matthew Stafford’s Broad Is Still Hot
Jun 25th
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford is no Aaron Rodgers. That goes for off-the-field activities, as well. While Rodgers is working a string of celebrities and models, Stafford is apparently still with the blond cheerleader he met while throwing the pigskin at Georgia. Not that that is a bad thing. She’s no Erin Andrews, but she’s [...]
Aaron Rodgers May Or May Not Be Banging Erin Andrews
Jun 24th
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has done it again. Rodgers’ streak of pulling hot broads, including Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Julie Henderson and Lady Antebellum lead singer Hilary Scott, apparently remains intact. That’s right. No mediocre Green Bay pussy for my man ARod. According to reports, Rodgers has been getting close to ESPN sideline [...]
Graham Harrell Looks Like He Has A Job
Jun 19th
The Green Bay Packers released four players yesterday in preparation for signing their draft picks. Among those released was quarterback Noah Shephard, meaning the Packers will open training camp with three quarterbacks on their roster. Behind Aaron Rodgers and Matt Flynn sits former Texas Tech star Graham Harrell, who hasn’t had much of an opportunity [...]
Rodgers Calls Bashing Of ESPN Inappropriate
Jun 10th
A lot of things we do are inappropriate, like telling the driver that just cut you off exactly what you think of him. That doesn’t necessarily make them wrong. Said driver may indeed lack intelligence, as you pointed out, but maybe that’s something that isn’t appropriate to note. So, when Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Aaron [...]
Aaron Rodgers Rips Kornheiser, Jaworski
Jun 8th
Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesn’t think too highly of two-thirds of 2008′s Monday Night Football team. In an interview with ESPN Radio in Milwaukee, Rodgers ripped commentator Tony Kornheiser. “You know who was better than Tony Kornheiser? Dennis Miller was ten times better,” Rodgers said. “Dennis Miller was a great comedian, but one [...]
Packers Sign Graham Harrell
May 19th
We told you last week the Green Bay Packers were planning on working out former Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell. Today, the team not only worked out, but signed Harrell. Harrell, who was a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2008, has never really gotten a shot in the NFL after throwing for 5,111 yards and 45 [...]
Aaron Rodgers Takes A Shot At ESPN
May 18th
Yes, this happened late last week, but sometimes we’re a little slow around here at Total Packers headquarters. For instance, when we’re hungover. Anyway, Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers took a little swipe at ESPN and specifically, football analyst Todd McShay, via Twitter. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to watch film [...]
Bryan Bulaga Is Pretty Strong
May 17th
Green Bay Packers’ first-round draft pick Bryan Bulaga is a big boy, but he showed he’s a little more than just a wide body last night. Bulaga took batting practice before the Milwaukee Brewers went out and got swept by the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. While quarterback Aaron Rodgers and tackle Mark Tauscher combined for [...]
