Five Things To Do During The Packers Bye Week
Nov 13th
I know, the Green Bay Packers aren’t playing this weekend. You’re probably going through withdrawals, bouncing off walls, huddled in the corner wondering what to do or some combination of the three. So, here are some helpful suggestions to get through the weekend alive, until your beloved Green Bay Packers return next week. 1. Pay [...]
Packers Sign Havner, Tauscher To Injured Reserve
Nov 12th
As expected, the Green Bay Packers signed tight end/linebacker Spencer Havner. Coming as somewhat of a surprise, is the Packers cleared a roster spot for Havner by putting tackle Mark Tauscher on injured reserve. Tauscher has been battling a shoulder injury and hasn’t played since week four. Rookie Bryan Bulaga has started in Tauscher’s place [...]
Sound Familiar? Kampman Tears ACL, Out For Year
Nov 12th
For the second year in a row, former Green Bay Packers and current Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Aaron Kampman tore his ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. Last November, Kampman tore his ACL in the Packers’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Yesterday, Kampman tore his ACL in practice. It’s unclear whether [...]
Havner Could Be Back With Packers Soon
Nov 11th
The Green Bay Packers worked out tight end/linebacker Spencer Havner on Tuesday and will reportedly sign him soon, according to Scout.com. Havner took a physical for the Packers last week. The continued interest signals that the Packers very likely will re-sign Havner, perhaps as soon as Monday, when the team gathers for its first practice [...]
Matthews Named Defensive Player Of The Week… Again
Nov 10th
This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, but Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews has been named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his play against the Dallas Cowboys. This is the second time Matthews has won the award, this season. He also has a defensive player of the month award to [...]
TiVo Time: Dallas Cowboys
Nov 10th
It’s like t-shirt time, only better, because no one from Jersey is involved. Shawn Neuser takes a look at the Green Bay Packers 45-7 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. First Half Plays are in chronological order. The Packers started with a squib kick — very odd. Dallas’ return man had just been called up from [...]
Harris Signs With Dolphins
Nov 10th
Former Green Bay Packers cornerback Al Harris has signed a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the move brings Harris, who lives in Pompano Beach, closer to home. “Al is excited to be playing in his hometown,” his agent, Jack Bechta said. “He has intimated to me [...]
Harris Clears Waivers, Becomes A Free Agent
Nov 10th
Former Green Bay Packers cornerback Al Harris cleared waivers Tuesday afternoon and became a free agent. The news isn’t terribly surprising. Although we fully believe there is interest in Harris, as the National Football Post initially reported, teams are unlikely to make a deal with him before seeing him work out. By making a waiver [...]
Packers Activate James Starks
Nov 9th
In a somewhat surprising move, the Green Bay Packers have activated running back James Starks from the physically unable to perform list. Starks, who the Packers chose in the sixth round of this year’s draft, was in the same boat as Atari Bigby and Al Harris. The Packers had to activate him, cut him or [...]
Several Teams Interested In Harris
Nov 9th
Several teams are interested in former Green Bay Packers cornerback Al Harris, including one NFC North team, according to the National Football Post’s Joe Fortenbaugh. At least six teams have inquired about Harris, whom the Packers released on Monday, according to the report. The NFC North team is likely the Minnesota Vikings or Detroit Lions. [...]
PETA: Lambeau Field Is Third Most Vegetarian-Friendly
Nov 9th
PETA has released their annual list of the most vegetarian-friendly stadiums in the NFL and Lambeau Field is ranked third. Lambeau ranked third last season, as well, which we’ve always found strange, considering it’s located dead center in the land of bratwurst, deer hunting, beer swilling and heart attacks. However, Lambeau offers a variety of [...]
Sam Shields Is Packers Kick Returner… For Now
Nov 9th
One of the more interesting developments to come out of the Green Bay Packers mauling of the Dallas Cowboys was cornerback Sam Shields taking over as the Packers kick returner. The team has been looking for a reliable kick returner all season. Receiver Jordy Nelson, who was given first crack at the job, had some [...]
Nick Collins is $50,000 Poorer
Nov 8th
We knew Green Bay Packers safety Nick Collins was going to be fined for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Dallas Cowboys receiver Roy Williams, Sunday night. The NFL was swift in enacting justice, saddling Collins with a $50,000 fine, today. The fine is high for a first-time offender like Collins, but the blow was just the [...]
McCarthy On Al Harris’ Release
Nov 8th
Veteran cornerback Al Harris can still play, but he didn’t fit into the Green Bay Packers plans. That was the message from coach Mike McCarthy after the Packers released Harris, on Monday. “We made a decision based on the overall depth and future of our roster. A number of different variables went into that decision,” [...]
Packers Run Wade Phillips Out Of A Job
Nov 8th
The Green Bay Packers thoroughly dominated the Dallas Cowboys, last night, dropping them to 1-7. During the game, several of us noted how dim-witted, confused and totally out of it Dallas coach Wade Phillips looked. It’s like he was daydreaming while his team was being taken apart by the Packers, to the tune of 45-7. [...]
Packers Release Al Harris
Nov 8th
It’s somewhat surprising it ended like this, but the Green Bay Packers have released cornerback Al Harris, a move first reported by Jason Wilde. Harris, who suffered a major knee injury last November, has been on the physically unable to perform list throughout the season. The Packers had to make a decision on whether to [...]
Packers Turn In Dominant Effort Before The Bye
Nov 7th
A complete and utter dismantling. That’s the best way to describe the Green Bay Packers 45-7 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The Packers were dominant both offensively and defensively, more so than they’ve been all season, and have to feel pretty good about themselves heading into their bye week. The game never really seemed to [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Cowboys
Nov 7th
Shawn: There is much concern regarding the Green Bay Packers tilt with the Dallas Cowboys, for two reasons: 1) the Cowboys were so thoroughly humiliated last week, their collective manhood debased, that most feel they have to respond with a better game this week, and 2) this is the week before the bye for the [...]
Packers Activate Bigby
Nov 6th
The Green Bay Packers have activated safety Atari Bigby from the physically unable to perform list. Cornerback Al Harris and running back James Starks were not activated. The team has until Tuesday to either activate them, place them on injured reserve or cut them. The Packers had an open roster spot, so they did not [...]
Midseason Awards: Total Packers Edition
Nov 5th
We gave you the midseason awards: other people’s edition yesterday and we also told you what we thought about midseason awards. The best word to summarize would be this one: indifference. However, we promised you our midseason awards at some point, and here they are. The difference between our midseason awards and other people’s are [...]
