Packers Drub Lions, But Look Ugly Doing It
Oct 18th
Kudos to the Green Bay Packers for taking it to the lowly Matt Stafford- and Calvin Johnson-less (and later, Daunte Culpepper-less) Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field on Sunday. The 26-0 shutout keeps the Packers’ home winning streak against the Lions alive at 19 games and gives the team a much-needed boost coming off their bye [...]
Lions Winning Respect in NFL, But Not in Detroit
Oct 17th
I love this Detroit News column that proclaims “Lions winning respect in NFL,” and then basically goes on to say that the Lions suck and are going to lose to the Green Bay Packers this weekend. After the feel good headline are these words. When the Lions go on the road to play the Green [...]
Rollin’ Out The Red Carpet For Brett Favre
Oct 16th
On November 1st, the city of Green Bay will be rolling out the red carpet for a Viking. That’s right, Mayor Jim Schmitt is hell-bent on welcoming Brett Favre with open arms.
Lions Stafford, Johnson Doubtful for Sunday
Oct 16th
Well, I told you the Green Bay Packers were about to get healthy. Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and stud wide receiver Calvin Johnson both missed practice again on Friday. This was the second day Stafford has missed practice this week. Johnson hasn’t practiced at all. Both players are battling knee injuries and are unlikely [...]
Donald Driver Will Make Green Bay Packers History on Sunday
Oct 16th
We haven’t seen a psychic, but it doesn’t take much to know that Green Bay Packers’ history will be made when the Packers face the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Donald Driver needs one catch to surpass Sterling Sharpe as the Green Bay Packers all-time leader in receptions. The last time Driver didn’t catch a pass [...]
Bet Big: Lions May Be Without Stafford, Johnson on Sunday
Oct 15th
If you’re a betting man or woman, now might be the time to consider placing a large wager on the Green Bay Packers in their contest with the Detroit Lions, this Sunday. As of today, it seems probable that the Lions could be without their two biggest offensive weapons when they face the Packers. Neither [...]
Brett Favre – Open Mouth, Insert Foot
Oct 15th
Remember who Brett Favre’s best team is? Nope, it isn’t the 1996 Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers that featured Reggie White, Keith Jackson, Antonio Freeman, Sean Jones, LeRoy Butler, etc., etc. It’s this year’s version of the Minnesota Vikings – at least that’s what he told us earlier this week. Not surprisingly, there were [...]
Trade Rumors Around the NFC North
Oct 15th
The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday, and while there are very few in-season trades made in the NFL, that doesn’t stop people from speculating about what could or should happen. The Green Bay Packers have been linked to several names, but more on that in a moment. The most persistent rumor revolving around any NFC [...]
Packers Should Work Out Newly-Released Booty
Oct 14th
In another brilliant move by Vikings coach Brad “Chilly” Childress, Minnesota released QB John David Booty from its practice squad on Wednesday and signed offensive tackle Clint Oldenburg, a Colorado State alum who played most recently for the Broncos. The move comes as somewhat of a surprise, given that the Vikings had gotten Booty through [...]
Greg Jennings: Just Give Me the Damn Ball!
Oct 13th
Taking a page out of Keyshawn Johnson’s book, Green Bay Packers’ receiver Greg Jennings has put the team on notice: just give me the damn ball! Actually, those weren’t Jennings’ exact words – that’s the title of Keyshawn’s book – but the sentiment was the same. Jennings, who has a measly 11 catches for 240 [...]
Packers Sense of Urgency Needs Come From Within
Oct 13th
It was refreshing to hear a member of the Green Bay Packers address the elephant in the room, yesterday. “Nobody’s happy where we’re at right now. Nobody. We’re 2-2, man. That’s not good. We have too much talent to be 2-2. Too many people care to be 2-2,” nose tackle Ryan Pickett said. This came [...]
2009 Vikings: Favre’s Best Team Ever
Oct 13th
During media comments following the Minnesota Vikings’ 38-10 drubbing of the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, quarterback Brett Favre made some waves by saying the team was the best he’s ever played on. “I think, physically and from a talent level, this is the best team I’ve ever been on,” Favre said. But Favre didn’t [...]
Packers Are About to Get Healthy
Oct 12th
I’m not talking about the injuries that have plagued the Green Bay Packers thus far, although the return of safety Atari Bigby and left tackle Chad Clifton to the staring lineup can only help, I’m talking about the schedule. The Packers are about to go into what is shaping up as the easiest portion of [...]
Mark Tauscher Deal is Done
Oct 12th
Although reports on the terms of the contract aren’t available yet, Mark Tauscher is officially a member of the Green Bay Packers again. Tauscher’s signing was announced this morning. Tauscher worked out with the team last Tuesday and we knew a deal was imminent since then. Tauscher will have to work himself back into playing [...]
Thompson Criticized For Not Adding Free Agents
Oct 11th
Probably not a surprise that Green Bay Packers GM Ted Thompson is being criticized for not adding more free agents during the offseason, since most of us criticize him for just such a thing on a regular basis. However, the source of the criticism may be somewhat surprising – scouts and NFL front office personnel [...]
Do the Packers Miss Anthony Smith?
Oct 11th
That’s the word, at least according to one report. The Packers cut safety Anthony Smith during their final roster cutdown, instead deciding to keep Jarret Bush and Aaron Rouse. The team also traded for Derrick Martin. Rouse has since been cut. Smith was pushing Atari Bigby for playing time during training camp and was easily [...]
Ted Thompson: Packers Should Be Better
Oct 10th
Well, here’s an assessment from Ted Thompson that I think we can all agree with, for once – the Green Bay Packers should be better. “The preseason and the regular season are a whole different kettle of fish, but yeah, I would have thought we would have played a little bit better starting out,” Thompson [...]
Where Are the Packers Linebackers?
Oct 10th
So far this season, trying to find one of the Packers linebackers in the middle of a play is like trying to locate Waldo in a picture with a thousand guys who are wearing red and white striped shirts and hats. The Green Bay Packers came into the season with what looked like one of [...]
Don’t F*ck With Packers Fans
Oct 9th
Or we’ll fucking stab you. It really was inevitable, I guess. Idiot fans of other NFL teams not named the Green Bay Packers like to talk shit. They like to talk shit when the Packers lose, because, among other things, the knowledge of a Packers fans greatly surpasses their own. They like to talk shit [...]
Aaron Kampman is Potential Trade Bait
Oct 9th
With the NFL trade deadline around the corner (October 20), it seems to be increasingly apparent that the Green Bay Packers are willing to listen to offers for, or may even be shopping, outside linebacker Aaron Kampman. Before you fly off the handle, this move would make sense for the Packers in a number of [...]
