Packers Have Salary Cap Problems
Jul 11th
Once the new collective bargaining agreement is finished, the salary cap will return to the NFL and 2011′s cap will be lower than 2009′s. The cap is projected to be as high as $121 million, but could be as low as $117 million. The 2009 cap was $122 million. If the 2011 cap is $120 [...]
Barnett Could Wind Up In San Diego
Jul 9th
We’ve talked about the possibility of Nick Barnett being the odd man out at linebacker for the Green Bay Packers and one place he could potentially end up is in San Diego, where the Chargers are in a state of flux at the position. The Packers are set on the inside with Desmond Bishop and A.J. Hawk, both of whom signed new contracts with the team in the past year.
Greg Jennings On Royal Pains [Video]
Jul 7th
I’ve finally located the clip of Green Bay Packers receiver Greg Jennings on the USA Network’s Royal Pains. Jennings shot the episode in May and it aired Wednesday night. In what I’m sure was a stretch, Jennings played himself.
Like Rest Of Us, Nick Barnett Needs Something To Do
Jul 7th
It looks like Green Bay Packers linebacker Nick Barnett has picked up a new hobby while he’s been sitting around this summer — coloring. He posted the following photo to his Twitter account yesterday. I suppose if the lockout never ends, he can become an artist. (Via Goal Line Stand)
Underwood’s Wife Changes Story
Jul 6th
Green Bay Packers defensive back Brandon Underwood didn’t have anything to say after today’s court appearance, but his wife Brandie sure did. Underwood is facing a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge stemming from an incident in June where he allegedly ripped a necklace off his wife’s neck and then dragged her from his vehicle.
Underwood Up To No Good: Part 2
Jul 6th
Maybe it’s the humidity, but Green Bay Packers cornerback Brandon Underwood just can’t stop doing stupid shit. Underwood, who was accused of sexual assault last summer after an incident involving two prostitutes — he would plead no contest to a prostitution charge in March — is now being charged with disorderly conduct.
Brandt Opens Door On Favre Return
Jul 5th
Not that anyone needs to help out in this department because it always has a life of its own, but NFL.com’s Gil Brandt has opened the door on the possible return of one Brett Favre… again. Brandt says Favre might be getting the itch again, but this year things are a little different.

Own Your Own Fake Super Bowl Ring
Jul 1st
The Green Bay Packers are selling Super Bowl rings — fake ones. Fans can now buy replica Super Bowl XLV rings from the team because, you know, you won the Super Bowl too. Season ticket holders and shareholders can get a 10-karat ring identifying them as such for $2,499 or a cheap-ass version for $399. [...]
Guns In Lambeau Field – Yeeeeehaaaaaw!
Jun 30th
Wisconsin’s expected new gun law, which will allow adults with a permit and proper training to carry a concealed handgun, has people wondering if fans might be able to bring guns into Lambeau Field. There’s a lot of confusion surrounding the issue at the moment.
A Medical Investigation Of Packers Fans’ Thin Skin
Jun 30th
MADISON – In what anthropologists and health care professionals are calling an unprecedented and historical breakthrough in medical science, a University of Wisconsin study reported in this week’s Journal of the American Medical Association claims that Green Bay Packer fans have “genetically cultivated –- over a long period of time –- the most significantly diaphanous epidermis [...]
Rodgers Fourth In NFL Power Rankings
Jun 29th
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers finished fourth in EPSN’s top NFL players power rankings. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady easily took top honors with six first-place votes and 78 total points. The Indianapolis Colts’ Peyton Manning was second, followed by the New Orleans Saints’ Drew Brees.
Nick Collins: Jay Cutler Really Stinks
Jun 29th
Hey, we’ve been saying it for some time and Green Bay Packers safety Nick Collins agrees: Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler stinks. Actually, Collins didn’t utter the exact words, but he did convey the message. During an appearance on Colin Cowherd’s radio show Tuesday morning, Cowherd asked Collins’ opinion on who the toughest quarterback in the NFL is to face.
Fuzzy Thurston In Trouble; Packers Fans To The Rescue?
Jun 28th
Former Green Bay Packers guard Fuzzy Thurston has some money problems. They’re the stupid kind of money problems, too. Fuzzy thought he could beat the taxman. Fuzzy, not surprisingly, was mistaken. The Fuzz owes $1.7 million in back taxes and he’s apparently been battling the government for 28 years. So, the government seized Thurston’s Super [...]
Packers Get Five ESPY Nominations, No One Cares
Jun 28th
The ESPYs, ESPN’s concocted sports award show, is on par with the Xbiz Awards as far as I’m concerned. Oh, you don’t know what the Xbiz Awards are? Well, they’re the wannabe AVN Awards, which is essentially the Oscars of porn. So I guess that would make the Xbiz Awards the Golden Globes of porn. [...]
Clay Matthews’ ESPYs Commercial
Jun 27th
I was going to run this earlier, but EPSN didn’t give us embed codes when these were released. Thankfully, they’ve remedied that situation. Here’s Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews’ ESPYs commercial, which also features Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love and host Seth Myers.
A Trophy Apart
Jun 27th
Not so deep in the confines of the Hall of Fame of the most-storied franchise in the NFL, four iconic silver statues named after the same franchise’s most-famous coach stand as a testament to 13 NFL Championships. Most would say that the trophies represent the four greatest of these championships: four Super Bowl victories, champions of a [...]
Here’s Darnell Dockett Dissing B.J. Raji
Jun 24th
Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett is apparently not a fan of Green Bay Packers nose tackle B.J. Raji. He’s also not a fan of the NFL Network’s top 100 players list. Frankly, I don’t blame him for that. The list doesn’t make a lot of sense, but it’s voted on by players, so you [...]
Maintaining Focus Key For Packers’ Repeat
Jun 23rd
Maintaining focus will be key for the Green Bay Packers entering the 2011 season. The team, which will add several starters who were injured in 2010 to an already talented nucleus, will be facing off-the-charts expectations. With the amount of talent the Packers have, I think it’s fair to say anything less than a repeat [...]
