Woodson Packers’ Lone All Pro
Jan 14th
In news that should really surprise no one, cornerback Charles Woodson is the Green Bay Packers lone member of the NFL All-Pro team. The All-Pro team is voted on my members of the Associated Press and made up of the top players from both conferences, unlike the Pro Bowl, which separates the squads into AFC [...]
Aaron Rodgers – Elite Quarterback
Jan 12th
If anything positive can be taken out of the Green Bay Packers debacle in the desert – a 51-45 loss to the Arizona Cardinals – it’s the certifiable arrival of quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Those of us who have watched Rodgers all season know he is a solid performer, but his 422-yard, four touchdown performance on [...]
What Can We Expect From Aaron Rodgers?
Jan 8th
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will make his first playoff start on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. That got me thinking about what we might expect from Rodgers. Sure, it’s reasonable to think Rodgers will go out, be his unflappable self and throw for 250 yards and two touchdowns. However, the real question is [...]
Brad Childress Is An Idiot, Part 2
Dec 31st
Hey, it’s not even us who’s saying it this time, although we can’t say we disagree. We can’t say some people didn’t get to this party a little too late. We can’t say we didn’t say it first. Brad Childress is an idiot. That’s essentially what ESPN NFL analyst Trent Dilfer told the Pioneer Press, [...]
Favre-a Donna Rears His (Big) Ugly Head
Dec 22nd
At least now we know who wears the pants in the Minnesota Vikings organization. And it sure isn’t Brad Childress. In a “heated discussion” rivaling any soap opera or made-for-TV movie, quarterback Brett Favre pulled the diva card Sunday night and refused to come out of Minnesota’s game at the Carolina Panthers after Chilly tried [...]
Mostly Idiots Voting For the Pro Bowl
Dec 17th
I hate to say this, but most fans of professional sports are idiots, which is why I hate the fact that fans have a say in which players play in the respective all-star games. I should put a disclaimer here, because I don’t lump Green Bay Packers’ fans in with most sports fans. Their passion [...]
Minnesota Vikings Luckiest Team in the League
Dec 11th
You know, I thought I smelled something funny coming from the Twin Cities – and I’m not referring to the stench of inbreeding and ignorance. No, I’m referring to the pungent smell that drifts your way when your arch enemy is more lucky than good. It’s the smell that makes you want to vomit. The [...]
Welcome to Favre in December, Vikings’ Fans
Dec 7th
Quarterback Brett Favre gave Green Bay Packers’ fans and Minnesota Vikings’ haters around the world an early Christmas present Sunday night, throwing two picks and playing generally like crap in a 30-17 drubbing by the Arizona Cardinals. According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette’s Tom Pelissero, the latest interceptions give Favre 48 picks and 28 TDs [...]
Brett Favre is Fascinating!
Dec 5th
Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Brett Favre is fascinating. One of the 10 most fascinating people of 2009. At least according to Barbara Walters. Favre will appear on Walters’ annual 10 Most Fascinating People show on December 9, which made me wonder… well, first it made me gag, and then it made me wonder… what might she [...]
Bart Starr on Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers
Dec 4th
From one great Green Bay Packers’ quarterback to another. Well, not exactly. Bart Starr was on the Brian Kenny radio program the other day, where he touched on various subjects, including your least favorite ex-Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Brett Favre and our main man, Aaron Rodgers. Interestingly, Starr seemed to infer that Favre’s success this [...]
Packers Probably Want to Forget Last Baltimore Meeting
Dec 3rd
The Green Bay Packers would probably rather forget the last time they played the Baltimore Ravens. The two teams have only met three times since the franchise was moved from Cleveland to Baltimore in 1996. Green Bay won the first two, but was drubbed 48-3 by the Ravens in the most recent matchup – a [...]
Troy Aikman Jumps on the Brett Favre Bandwagon
Nov 30th
Since joining Fox Sports as an NFL color commentator in 2001, former Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback Troy Aikman has made little attempt to hide his disdain of the Green Bay Packers and, in particular, the team’s former ageless quarterback, Brett Favre. Maybe it’s because Aikman hated doing so many Packers’ games or because his career was ended [...]
Green Bay: Where No One Wants to Play… Again
Nov 25th
In the early 1990s, Green Bay was generally viewed as a no man’s land by most NFL players. Cold. Boring. Small market. Cold. Just generally not somewhere you wanted to play. That all changed with the rise of Brett Favre and the signing of Reggie White, who became the first major black player to sign [...]
MVP Push Begins For Favre
Nov 24th
During Sunday’s blowout of the Seattle Seahawks fans started the MVP chant for Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Brett Favre. Favre threw four touchdown passes and was 22-of-25 for 213 yards on Sunday. On the season, he’s thrown 21 touchdowns against three interceptions. He also leads the league in quarterback rating at 112.1. Predictably, Favre’s teammates and [...]
Brett Favre: Demoralizing Our Troops
Nov 20th
You know, you’d think this would be one of my assinine, satirical looks at the world of the Green Bay Packers and their sworn enemy, the Minnesota Vikings. Unfortunately, this is a completely true story. Detainees at an Iraqi prison camp staffed by members of the Wisconsin National Guard are using Brett Favre to demoralize [...]
Chicago: Where Quarterbacks Go To Die
Nov 19th
We all know what happens when the Green Bay Packers aren’t playing well. We all pile on coach Mike McCarthy (and rightfully so) and general manager Ted Thompson. Well, in Chicago they do it a little differently. When the Bears are playing poorly, they pile it on their former Messiah, quarterback Jay Cutler. Cutler has [...]
1996 Packers, 49ers Riot Game Changed Everything
Nov 18th
There have been some great matchups in the history of the Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers series, but the high point came in the mid-to-late ’90s. Those years signaled a changing of the guard in an NFL once ruled by the 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. A well-built Green Bay Packers team with a mix [...]
Signs Point to Favre Tormenting Packers Another Year
Nov 17th
A report came out of the Twin Cities today that Brett Favre may be planning on sticking around for another year to torment the Green Bay Packers… I mean, to play quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings. Favre is, of course, already signed for $13 million next season, but we all know how the postseason retirement [...]
Can Aaron Rodgers Bounce Back for the Packers?
Nov 11th
A big question heading into the second half of the Green Bay Packers’ season is second year starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers and whether he can help reverse the team’s fortunes and make the Packers – now in second place in the NFC North at 4-4 – a playoff contender again. Rodgers is having a great [...]
The Onion Zings Favre Again
Nov 6th
The Onion has summed up what a lot of people have been feeling in their latest Favre blurb.
