Most of Packers Offensive Line Under Scrutiny This Offseason
Jan 29th
With the way the Green Bay Packers offensive line performed during the 2009 season, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that three of the five spots are likely to be in flux this offseason. Chad Clifton’s left tackle spot was a weakness for most of the season and right tackle was a major problem until [...]
Vikings May Make Run At Donovan McNabb
Jan 28th
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb’s days in the city of brotherly love have seemingly been numbered for years, but there are indications the Eagles may actually be looking to move him this offseason. If they do, one very possible destination is Minnesota, where the Vikings have put themselves smack in the middle of The Third [...]
Looking For Reasons to Watch the Pro Bowl
Jan 28th
If you’ve been looking for reasons to watch the Pro Bowl this weekend, you’ve probably realized there aren’t a lot. None of the Colts or Saints will play. A lot of the top-tier players have dropped out with injuries – Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Larry Fitzgerald, Steven Jackson and Charles Woodson, to name a few. [...]
Resentment on the Packers’ Coaching Staff?
Jan 27th
The Green Bay Packers may have some resentment to deal with on their coaching staff in the coming months. Back in early January the Packers denied the Chicago Bears permission to speak to quarterbacks coach Tom Clements about their open offensive coordinator position. At the time, I just laughed, but the Packers move may have [...]
Mike Nolan Spurned Packers For Family
Jan 27th
Since we’ve been foaming at the mouth for the past two days about Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings’ playoff implosion, we’ve ultimately ignored some Green Bay Packers “news.” One of those items is the fact that former Denver Broncos and current Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Mike Nolan admitted that he turned the Packers down [...]
Vikings Are 40th Best All Time and What To Do With The NFL’s Archaic Playoff System
Jan 26th
Today’s guest blogger is Erick Sklogund. Sklogund is a Vikings beat writer and humor columnist for The Observer Herald in Le Seur, Minnesota. The corpse of the Minnesota Vikings’ 2009 season is still warm, but it’s not too soon to reflect on where this team stands among the all-time greats. First things first, though. With [...]
Reaction To the Vikings’, Favre’s Demise
Jan 26th
There was a wide range of reaction to the Minnesota Vikings’ loss to the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship game on Sunday. To those of us who are Green Bay Packers’ fans, Brett Favre’s game-killing, bone-headed interception wasn’t a surprise. In fact, we knew all along that Favre would eventually force a ball [...]
Hey, Minnesota
Jan 25th
Talk some shit now you fucking ignorant assholes. What did I tell you? A choker always chokes. Good riddance.
It’s All About Brett
Jan 24th
Yup. It’s all about Brett Favre leading up to the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints showdown for the NFC Championship. Should we have expected anything different? No. The media has always splooged all over themselves when it comes to Favre, and even more so in recent years. Because you know – “Brett Favre just [...]
The Rest of the Green Bay Packers News
Jan 23rd
No, I’m not going to start doing a Green Bay Packers-related link dump every day, or even every week. I get much more satisfaction from writing stuff and then letting you guys shit all over it. Besides, Railbird Central already does that, and does it better than I would ever care to do it, with [...]
Go Ahead, Give Up Your Season Tickets
Jan 23rd
On Friday, the Green Bay Packers announced that they’re raising ticket prices for the 2010 season. That’s right, an additional $8-10 per ticket. Of course, most Packers season ticket holders were PISSED! Well, I have a simple solution for you – don’t renew your season tickets, you whiny prick. My old man has been on [...]
Prince’s Stock is Dropping Rapidly
Jan 22nd
Prince is one of the great musicians of our time. He’s written fantastic songs like “Purple Rain,” “1999,” “Cream,” “Seven” and “Darling Nikki.” He’s pushed the boundaries of music and art. And he’s done all of this despite being from Minneapolis. As far as pop music icons go, I’d place him behind only Michael Jackson [...]
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 [...]
Did the Packers Choose Wisely in 2006?
Jan 21st
In 2006, the Green Bay Packers disposed of coach Mike Sherman. The team targeted several potential replacements, two of which are coaching against each other in the NFC Championship game this weekend. Those men are Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress and New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton, who were joined by Mike McCarthy, current Dallas [...]
Hey Brett, No Pressure
Jan 21st
It’s debatable whether Brett Favre is an abject failure if the Minnesota Vikings don’t win the Super Bowl this season. In total, the evidence would suggest otherwise – individually he’s had one of his best seasons and he’s already taken a Brad Childress-coached Vikings team further than it’s ever been. Still, Favre supposedly went to [...]
Fran Tarkenton Still Doesn’t Like Brett Favre
Jan 20th
Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Fran Tarkenton was giving current Minnesota Vikings and former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre the business before the season, and he’s still giving it to him. Why? Because like us, Tarkenton thinks Favre is dirty, filthy, scumbaggy, lying traitor. Before the season this is what Tarkenton said about Favre. I [...]
Jeremy Kapinos: Worst Punter in the NFL
Jan 20th
Green Bay Packers punter Jeremy Kapinos was put on notice on more than one occasion during the 2009 season. Kapinos was so bad, Packers coach Mike McCarthy felt the need to publicly call him out twice. Kapinos responded with… well, he managed to keep his job even though he probably had no business doing so. [...]
The Jermichael Finley Explosion or The Demise of Donald Driver
Jan 19th
We could call this The Jermichael Finley Explosion or The Demise of Donald Driver. Either way, The Jermichael Finley Explosion is not to be confused with The Rock-afire Explosion, although they are similarly awesome. To anyone who watched the Green Bay Packers down the stretch, it should be no surprise who was catching the most [...]
Packers’ Schneider Named Seahawks GM
Jan 19th
The Green Bay Packers lost someone on Tuesday and the offseason hasn’t really even begun. Director of football operations John Schneider is leaving the team to take over as the Seattle Seahawks general manager. What does that mean for the Packers? Well, not a whole lot. Schneider was responsible for scouting, hiring coaches and working [...]
No Love For Mike McCarthy
Jan 18th
Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy got no love in the NFL Coach of the Year race, despite some speculation that he might. As we predicted, the Cincinnati Bengals’ Marvin Lewis ran away with the award. McCarthy finished… well, he didn’t get any votes, so he didn’t really finish anywhere. Oddly enough… or perhaps not [...]
