The weather man was wrong. It’s sunny and 85 degrees about an hour before practice. Quick observations: – There is a lot of talk here in Green Bay on the Brett Favre retirement.

Some interesting tidbits have come out about the Green Bay Packers free agent priorities in the past week.

It only took 10 games, but the Green Bay Packers’ offense on Sunday finally looked like it did in the preseason – dominant.

Tis the Season of Giving
Dec 23rd
And that’s just what the Green Bay Packers did last night – gave those scumbags from Chicago a 20-17 overtime victory.

With yet another heartbreaking 4 points-or-less loss, the Green Bay Packers have all but assured that the playoffs will be out of their reach, with their 35-31 defeat at the hands of the Carolina Panthers.
