Douchey Bears Fan Has a Point: Ashton Kutcher Rips Favre
Aug 18th
Though he played one on TV, Ashton Kutcher is no Green Bay Packers’ fan. He is a well known bottom feeder, Chicago Bears fan. But today, he had the Packer Nation’s back as he ripped Brett Favre from inside a nice, yet not over the top set trailer. See the video below. Kutcher brings up [...]
Packers vs. Browns Game Notes
Aug 16th
The Green Bay Packers beat the Cleveland Browns 17-0 Saturday night in the Upper Midwest Shrine Game. While beating the Browns, a team that may be in the running for the NFL’s worst this season, in an exhibition game isn’t anything to get terribly excited about, there were some interesting developments to come out of [...]
Packers Wrong Not to Make a Play for Vick
Aug 14th
As you’ve likely heard by now, Michael Vick signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, yesterday. While Vick signing with the Eagles doesn’t really affect the Green Bay Packers, the fact that the Packers didn’t make a play for Vick is interesting. Read Andrew Brandt’s Q&A about how the Vick to Philly deal went down. As we’ve [...]
Packers and B.J. Raji Reach a Deal
Aug 13th
Update: Raji’s deal is reportedly worth $28.5 million over five years. The Packers ponied up just under $18 million in guaranteed money. On paper, the deal looks less inflated than the contract the Oakland Raiders gave Darius Heyward-Bey, which was the reason the Packers were having trouble signing Raji to begin with. ———- The Green [...]
Time For The Packers To Give Up On Justin Harrell
Aug 13th
The Green Bay Packers have made some missteps in the draft under Ted Thompson. I questioned whether A.J. Hawk was a bust the other day (he is, people, stop kidding yourselves), but as of this morning, 70 percent of you still wanted to give him another year before making a determination. Fair enough. Another guy [...]
Packers Training Camp Battles – Inside Linebacker
Aug 11th
As the Green Bay Packers training camp begins to heat up, it’s becoming more apparent where the interesting positional battles are going to take place, and in some cases, they aren’t where we thought they would take place. Since the Packers have put their pads on, some players who performed well in OTAs have fallen [...]
B.J. Raji Deal Closer, Michael Vick Rumors Persist
Aug 10th
Two interesting developments came to light over the weekend for the Green Bay Packers. First, was the progress made on the deal with still unsigned first-round pick B.J. Raji. Two other unsigned rookies – the Denver Broncos Knowshon Moreno (No. 12) and the Seattle Seahawks Aaron Curry (No. 4) – signed their deals over the [...]
Packers Training Camp Battles – Tight End

As the Green Bay Packers training camp begins to heat up, it’s becoming more apparent where the interesting positional battles are going to take place, and in some cases, they aren’t where we thought they would take place.

Lombardi to Hit the Big Screen
Aug 6th
Lost in the ether while we were blathering on about Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers opening training camp, was the announcement that Lombardi will be coming to the big screen in 2011. As first reported by Variety, Lombardi is a partnership between ESPN, the NFL and Andell Entertainment. The script, which was originally [...]
What If Michael Vick Became A Packer?
Aug 4th
The AP released a small piece today, indicating that GM Ted Thompson and the Green Bay Packers may be interested in looking at Michael Vick. This is interesting because, as far as I know, this is the first bit of national media speculation involving the Packers and Vick. Of course, some of us at Total [...]
Camp Opens, No B.J. Raji
Aug 1st
As the Green Bay Packers begin training camp today (finally, football season is upon us!), they open without top draft choice B.J. Raji. This is somewhat disappointing, considering the Packers have signed all of their draft picks before training camp in the Ted Thompson era. However, it’s not the end of the world. Raji, who [...]
Packers Sign Clay Matthews
Jul 30th
The Green Bay Packers have come to terms with outside linebacker Clay Matthews, the second of the team’s two first-round draft picks. The signing leaves only B.J. Raji, the 9th overall selection, unsigned as training camp approaches. As part of Total Packers’ ongoing profiles of draft pick signees, here’s your look at Clay Matthews. You [...]
Brett Favre – The Aftermath
Jul 29th
Now we survey the wreckage. Brett Favre’s decision to remain retired instead of joining the Minnesota Vikings, has some serious ramifications. The Vikings organization… hahahahahahahhahahaha!… sorry, lost my train of thought. Oh yeah, the Vikings. Let’s start at the top, with the chief bonehead. Vikings coach Brad Childress released a statement yesterday, saying the Favre [...]
Packers Sign Quinn Johnson, First Rounders Remain
Jul 22nd
On Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers signed fifth-round draft choice Quinn Johnson, fullback from LSU. The signing leaves the Packers with only two unsigned picks – first-rounders B.J. Raji and Clay Matthews Jr. As part of Total Packers’ ongoing profiles of draft pick signees, we’ll take a look a Quinn Johnson. You can check out [...]
The Disaster That Awaits – Packers Backup Quarterback
Jul 21st
When the Green Bay Packers drafted Brian Brohm in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft, I was excited. Not only did the Packers seem to have a solid future backup and potential trade bait, but they got a guy who was once considered a sure-fire top 10 pick in the second round. I [...]
Aaron Rodgers Sunday Conversation
Jul 20th
Green Bay Packers’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers sat down with Ed Werder for ESPN’s Sunday Conversation. In the interview, which took place in Lake Tahoe, Rodgers discusses taking over for Brett Favre, how close the Packers are, his rivalry with Jay Cutler, how Packers’ fans have treated him, and of course what he thinks of the [...]
Golden Boy vs. Country Boy: Hornung Blasts Favre
Jul 15th
Apparently, some Green Bay Packers’ legends haven’t forgotten about fidelity, loyalty and Packer Pride. Or maybe Paul Hornung thinks the Minnesota Vikings suck that much (they do). Either way, Hornung doesn’t seem to think Brett Favre wearing Vikings’ purple necessarily guarantees a Lombardi Trophy for our idiot neighbors in the land o’ lakes. “(Favre) ain’t going to [...]
Five Draft Picks Under Contract With Lang Signing
Jul 8th
The Green Bay Packers now have five of their eight 2009 draft picks under contract, with the signing of offensive lineman T.J. Lang, who signed yesterday. Lang joins linebacker Brad Jones, safety Brandon Underwood, defensive end Jarius Wynn – all of whom signed in mid-June – and tackle Jamon Meredith, who signed on June 25. [...]
Green Bay Packers: 5 Reasons for Excitement
Jul 1st
With training camp beginning at the end of the month, I am starting to get excited for the upcoming Green Bay Packers season. Since we’re in the down time between the Packers mini-camp and training camp, I figured now is as good a time as any to get you excited too. There are some very [...]
Aaron Rodgers Continues To Be The Fucking Man!
Jun 29th
Because I like hot broads and the pursuit of hot broads nearly as much as I like Green Bay Packers football, here’s another one from the Aaron Rodgers is the Man files. It seems the Green Bay Packers quarterback has moved on from girls in Vegas clubs and country music singers who share names with [...]
