Packers vs. Lions Quick Hits
Sep 16th
As much as I hate to be a wet blanket, Green Bay Packers’ fans should not start chanting “Su-per-Bowl” just yet. Even though Aaron Rodgers continues to impress and the Packers came up with big play after big play, there is plenty of room to improve. The final score, as they say, doesn’t indicate how [...]
Packers, Vikings Game Quick Hits
Sep 9th
It was a wild opening weekend in the NFL and the much anticipated matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers did not disappoint, although it went differently than most of the media predicted. Behind the arm of Aaron Rodgers and the legs of Ryan Grant and Will Blackmon, the Packers prevailed, 24-19. Evil [...]
Brett Favre: Something Isn’t Quite Right Here
Sep 8th
That was the thought that kept running through my head yesterday as I watched Brett Favre throw the ball around in a New York Jets uniform. It wasn’t just the non-familiar uniform though. It was the whole way Brett carried himself. Brett is a boisterous, excitable guy, which is part of the reason we loved [...]
Internal Packers Email: Mark Murphy on the Favre Trade
Sep 3rd
Well, I’ve been sitting on this for a little while, for various reasons, but in the lull leading up to week one of the NFL season, I’ve decided that now is the time. For what, you ask? Well, in case you didn’t have enough back in July and early August, we here at Total Packers [...]
The Packers’ Other Quarterback Debacle
Aug 29th
If it were any other preseason, there would probably be a lot more discussion about Brian Brohm’s turd of a training camp. Thankfully for him, the spotlight has been fixed squarely on Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre. But in any other year, there is no way a highly-touted second round draft pick like Brohm would [...]
Brett Favre, A Love Affair Gone Sour
Aug 20th
There’s no doubt Brett Favre is and always will be an iconic figure in Green Bay Packers lore. However, there are also some bad feelings floating around Titletown these days. I had a chuckle at the image above. Meanwhile, in Waukesha, a family burned all of their Brett Favre memorabilia. They even went so far [...]
Brett Favre Nightmare Scenario About to Come True?
Aug 5th
In what has become a regular theme over the past month, we are again getting jerked around by one of the following: the media, the Green Bay Packers brass, or the Brett Favre camp. As the media falls all over themselves to report on the latest development in the Brett Favre comeback story (read: Florio, [...]
No One Wants Brett
Jul 29th
No one wants Brett Favre. Well, except for the scumbag, tampering Minnesota Vikings and probably Jon Gruden. Brett filed his reinstatement papers today, which will essentially force the beloved Green and Gold’s hand one way or another. Meddler and NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, meanwhile, said he wouldn’t act for 24 hours in hopes that the [...]
Trade Brett Favre and Pay Ryan Grant
Jul 28th
Ted Thompson – I’ve had your back from day one. I watched with glee as you zanily traded back again and again in every draft, nodded my head in approval when you frugally passed over high-priced free agents, but now you, Mike McCarthy, and Mark Murphy have a big sloppy mess on your hands. Two, [...]
Nothing To See Here Folks
Jul 24th
Looks like the NFL and Roger Goodell grabbed their broom and are ready to start sweeping this Brett Favre tampering mess under the rug. Yep, the Packers-issued cell phone Brett used to make calls to the Minnesota Vikings? According to NFL sources (read: Roger Goodell’s office) the Packers never actually gave Favre a phone. In [...]
I Have A Bad Feeling About This….
Jul 23rd
I don’t trust Roger Goodell. I never believed he was committed to properly punishing the New England Patriots for spying last year and I think he’s a guy who’s more interested in the perceived image of the league than actual integrity. And while he has thrown the book at criminal players and substance abusers, he [...]
Don’t Be Surprised Packers Fans Turned on Favre
Jul 18th
It was a match made in football heaven. Scrappy blue-collar small town meets scrappy blue-collar daredevil quarterback. Sixteen-plus years of ups and downs (mostly ups) and the heroic quarterback with the silly name and the golden arm tearfully rode off into the sunset, his legacy intact, forever in possession of the hearts and minds of [...]
