Packers Reportedly Discussing New Contract With Woodson
Jun 8th
This comes as a bit of a surprise, but the Green Bay Packers and cornerback Charles Woodson are reportedly discussing a new contract.

Remembering the Last Time the Minnesota Vikings Played for the NFC Championship
Jan 22nd
It was January 17, 1999 when the Minnesota Vikings last played in the NFC Championship game. The Vikings were coming off an almost perfect, record-setting 1998 season and played host to the upstart NFC West champion Atlanta Falcons. Ed. note: Actually, Jeremy is right. I had totally forgotten about the 41-0 massacre at the hands [...]

The White Elephant in the Room
Dec 10th
Most everyone is quick to point the finger at defensive coordinator Bob Sanders as the scapegoat in this dismal Green Bay Packers’ season.

Yeah, I was a little dumbfounded too. Anyway, it was still a cool experience, because it was [...]
Lions – Trap or Statement For Packers?
