Nick Collins May Hold Out
Feb 24th
All is quiet on the Nick Collins front and that isn’t good.
The Green Bay Packers starting strong safety avoided offseason team activities last year because he was angry the Packers wouldn’t renegotiate his contract. Now, Collins is about to become a restricted free agent and there seems to be no movement on a new deal [...]
Packers Wrap Up Playoff Berth With Dominating Effort
Dec 27th
The Green Bay Packers destroyed the Seattle Seahawks 48-10 and in conjunction with a loss by the New York Giants, wrapped up their first playoff berth in the Aaron Rodgers era.
The Packers defense was dominant again, rebounding from their terrible performance in Pittsburgh a week earlier. They intercepted Seahawks’ quarterback Matt Hasselbeck four times and [...]
Jermichael! Jermichael! Jermichael!
Dec 18th
There’s a case of the Jan Bradys going around the Green Bay Packers’ locker room. Playing the role of Marcia – tight end Jermichael Finley.
The Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein raised some eyebrows Friday with his story on what’s becoming known as “the Jermichael Finley question” in blogging circles. Namely, are Packers coaches focusing the offense [...]
Five Reasons To Be Excited About the Green Bay Packers
Nov 29th
Yesterday, we took a look at five reasons not to be excited about the Green Bay Packers, making the argument that the team has major flaws that may haunt them down the stretch and into the playoffs.
That said, we fully expect the Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs. However, this isn’t a team that’s [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Lions
Nov 25th
Monty: The Detroit Lions once again demonstrated how bad their defense is in their victory over the Cleveland Browns last week. The Lions allowed Brady Quinn to throw for 304 yards and four touchdowns in that game. Quinn previously had thrown three touchdowns – in his career.
In other words, the Green Bay Packers will have [...]
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 yards [...]
Green Bay Packers: Starting to Look Like the Real Deal
Aug 29th
The Green Bay Packers hung on for a 44-37 preseason win over the defending NFC Champion Arizona Cardinals last night in Phoenix, but that really doesn’t begin to tell the story.
A friend turned to me this morning and asked, “Do you ever remember a preseason when the Packers looked this good?” The answer was no. [...]
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 good reasons [...]
ESPN: Jennings Deal 3 Years, $27 Million
Jun 23rd
As we reported earlier, Green Bay Packers receiver Greg Jennings is about to get paid.
ESPN says the deal isn’t finalized. However, earlier, Milwaukee’s Fox 6 reported that it was.
So let me cut through the bullshit – Jennings deal is all but signed.
As ESPN reports, the Packers will pay Jennings $27 million in new money in [...]
Collins May Hold Out, Jennings Negotiations Progressing
Jun 23rd
Update: Milwaukee’s Fox 6 has reported that Jennings’ deal is done. The deal is expected to make him the second highest paid receiver in the game, behind Arizona’s Larry Fitzgerald. More on the actual numbers as they become available.
It’s the good, the bad and the ugly at Green Bay Packers minicamp this week (although I’m [...]
Nick Collins’ Disappearing Act and Upcoming Distractions
Jun 22nd
As the Green Bay Packers open their first mandatory minicamp of the offseason today, the biggest question is whether safety Nick Collins will practice.
Collins, the Packers starting stong safety last season, made a brief appearance in Green Bay last week – only the second day he showed up at any of the Packers OTAs.
When I [...]

Since weekends during the offseason are typically slow, but we want to give you a dose of Green Bay Packers anyway, we’ve decided to dig around the Interweb for the best in Green Bay Packers and Packers-related videos.
So, here’s your first dose of Packers Weekend Video. It’s a nice little number featuring the Packers No. [...]
Driver Pissed. Kampman Silent. Tramon Rich. Harrell Healthy?
May 29th
Gettin’ paid, bitch! From NewsDay.com
All of this came out on the first day of the Green Bay Packers OTAs, which, for the uninitiated stands for organized team activities. OTAs are basically a way for coaches to get the team together and start practice before the NFL officially allows them to start practice.
OTAs are not mandatory, [...]
Thompson to Trade Back? Again?
Apr 24th
Knowshon Moreno at No. 23?
Weeks – no, months of analysis and speculation culminate tomorrow when the 2009 NFL Draft begins. You have to hand it to the NFL – no other professional league has turned their draft process into such an anticipated event.
I toyed with the idea of posting a complete mock draft, but [...]
It’s All Part Of The Plan
Mar 14th
Ted Thompson at last week’s press conference.
The NFL’s annual spending orgy that we call free agency has pretty much come and gone. Predictably, a large contingent of Packer fans have been lamenting the fact that, yet again, GM Ted Thompson failed to sign a single average player to a multi-million dollar contract.
Coming off an utterly [...]
Free Agency 2009: Our Guys
Feb 16th
The 2009 free agency signing period begins on February 27 and the Green Bay Packers are in very good shape, at approximately $25 million below the projected $123 million salary cap.
Before we reveal our list of free agency demands for 2009, let’s take a look at the Packers own free agents. The most substantial name [...]
Vikings vs. Packers: Who Sucked and Who Didn’t (guess which list is longer…)
Nov 10th
Every week the Packers are starting to look more and more like a team that simply won’t live up to the expectations. Yesterday, the Packers lost yet another close game to an inferior opponent.
The Packers should be better than this. Maybe it’s time to accept that they just aren’t very good and likely won’t be [...]
Titans Game Observations, Notes
Nov 4th
This was one of the more disappointing losses of the year, in part because the Packers actually played well for most of the game. The lines held their own on both sides of the ball against the normally dominant Tennessee lines.
In the end, we were overwhelmed when it counted most. When we had opportunities to put points [...]
Seahawks Game: Quick Notes
Oct 13th
I’d be a lot more excited about this game if I didn’t already know that Seattle is truly an awful team this year. But as they say in Cliche Town, “A win is a win.”
THE GOOD
Aaron Rodgers is still playing well. On top of that, his shoulder is still causing him considerable pain. There’s no [...]
Tampa Game: Quick Hits
Sep 29th
I’m not ready to jump onto the “Fire Thompson & McCarthy” bandwagon just yet (more on that below) but man, oh man are we in trouble. Yesterday’s game was not nearly as close as the final score indicated. Here are some quick observations on what went wrong (a lot) and what went right (not much.)
Ryan [...]
