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 [...]
They Love Brett Favre In Cambodia
Jan 17th
In honor of our favorite traitor quarterback and the dregs of the NFL – the Minnesota Vikings, who we wish all the bad fortune in the world – we thought today would be an appropriate time to whip out our latest video. Recently, a friend of the Total Packers family took a trip to Cambodia. [...]
A Quick Look at the Packers Draft Prospects
Jan 16th
Sure, the NFL Draft isn’t until April 22, but it’s never to early to begin speculating about it, especially since we now know the Green Bay Packers will pick 23rd in the first round. ESPN released their Draft Watch for pick 23 earlier this week. It contains two lists – the first from Scouts Inc. [...]
Packers May Be in Market For a Big-Time Pass Rusher
Jan 15th
The Green Bay Packers defensive deficiencies were exposed against the Arizona Cardinals – lack of secondary depth and linebackers who can’t cover. While the Packers need to address these things in offseason, the real difference maker could be a big-time pass rusher. Let’s look at the obvious deficiencies first. The cornerback position is well stocked [...]
Packers’ Dom Capers Asleep At the Wheel
Jan 15th
This footage could partially explain why the Green Bay Packers vaunted defense played so poorly against the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday (although we think there are two other clear-cut reasons). In it, you’ll see Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers, who appears to dose off and then suddenly jerk back to life like someone who’s trying [...]
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 [...]
Woodson Picks Up Another Award And Rex Ryan Is a Douchebag
Jan 14th
Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year on Tuesday by a wide margin. On Wednesday, he picked up the Sporting News’ NFL defensive player of the year award, which is voted on by 636 players, coaches and executives. Woodson again finished first by a wide margin, receiving 241 [...]
Packers Saved the Sports Book
Jan 13th
It appears the Green Bay Packers dramatically helped out two entities last weekend – the Arizona Cardinals, whom they lost a crushing 51-45 overtime contest to, and the Las Vegas sports books. Not surprisingly, bettors were going big on the Packers, who had beaten the Cardinals 33-7 to end the regular season. The Cardinals opened [...]
Kampman Likely Done in Green Bay
Jan 13th
When the Green Bay Packers cleaned out their lockers this week, several members of the team may have done so for the last time. Long-time starters Chad Clifton, Mark Tauscher, Ryan Pickett and Aaron Kampman are all unrestricted free agents. The Packers will likely make moves to replace Clifton and Tauscher, and would be wise [...]
Woodson Wins Defensive Player of the Year By a Landslide
Jan 12th
Green Bay Packers cornerback Charles Woodson put the question to rest today. He’s the NFL Defensive Player of the Year and he won by a wide margin over New York Jets’ cornerback Darrelle Revis. Woodson received 28 votes to Revis’ 14. The Denver Broncos’ Elvis Dumervil and the New Orleans Saints’ Darren Sharper tied for [...]
