Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy did a bit a grandstanding in the media about how Lambeau Field would be the perfect place to host the inaugural Big Ten title game in 2011, and formally threw the venerable stadium into the mix as a potential site, several weeks ago. Well, the Big Ten didn’t give [...]

Jul 9th
I wanted to get to this before the week was out, since it was first mentioned on Monday, when most of us were either nursing hangovers or just not paying attention. One of the options the Green Bay Packers are considering as part of their plan to expand Lambeau Field is enclosing the south end [...]

The idea of expanding the NFL’s regular season to 18 games, and reducing the preseason to two, is rapidly gaining steam among NFL owners.

Murphy: No Changes Before End of the Season
Nov 10th
You can count Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy among those disappointed in the team’s craptacular 4-4 start to the season, but don’t expect any changes to happen during the season.

There’s a lot of speculation out there that Brett Favre’s retirement from the New York Jets this week might not take.

Internal Packers Email: Mark Murphy on the Favre Trade
Sep 3rd
Well, I’ve been sitting on this for a little while, for various reasons, but in the lull leading up to week one of the NFL season, I’ve decided that now is the time. For what, you ask? Well, in case you didn’t have enough back in July and early August, we here at Total Packers [...]
Trade Brett Favre and Pay Ryan Grant
Jul 28th
Ted Thompson – I’ve had your back from day one. I watched with glee as you zanily traded back again and again in every draft, nodded my head in approval when you frugally passed over high-priced free agents, but now you, Mike McCarthy, and Mark Murphy have a big sloppy mess on your hands.
