Green Bay Packers backup quarterback Matt Flynn may eventually end up playing for another team, but he sounds content to stay in Green Bay at the moment.

May 11th
Awkward silence, anyone? The 2011 NFL lockout may be in full swing, but that didn’t stop Green Bay Packers players and brass from spending five days on a bus together this week for the annual Packers Tailgate Tour across Upper Michigan and Wisconsin. According to The Associated Press, coach Mike McCarthy, general manager Ted Thompson and several other staff members saw the bus off Tuesday.
Work Stoppage Does Not Apply To These Packers
Apr 6th
The NFL and their rules are stupid. Here we are in the midst of a lockout, the players no longer have a functioning union, they’re suing the league and the rules dictate players cannot talk to coaches or team executives. Players cannot be at team facilities. No offseason programs can be conducted. Team executives cannot [...]
Matt Flynn Will Eventually Be Traded
Apr 1st
Although the Green Bay Packers are outwardly adamant Matt Flynn will be the team’s second-string quarterback next season, the team will eventually have to trade him. That could happen sooner, rather than later according to the NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora. The analyst was asked if Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kevin Kolb is the only current [...]
Flynn Won’t Be Traded, For Now
Feb 28th
Matt Flynn, the Green Bay Packers backup quarterback, has become a hot commodity since he started his first game in December.

The Green Bay Packers will have their catalyst when they face the New York Giants in their biggest game of the season, this week.

Thank You, Matt Flynn
Dec 20th
Matt Flynn is my new favorite Packer. The third-year quarterback more than held his own in his first start on the road against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots Sunday night. He dominated the first half, not making a mistake until a pick-six early in the second half that was wideout James Jones’ fault, [...]
McCarthy Changes Tune: Door Open For Rodgers To Play
Dec 17th
Just about everyone was ready to declare quarterback Aaron Rodgers a no go for the Green Bay Packers’ game against the New England Patriots. Not so fast. Today, Rodgers attended practice for the first time since suffering a concussion on Sunday. Coach Mike McCarthy said Rodgers is working his way through the medical process, the [...]
Rodgers Is A Long Shot To Play
Dec 17th
Although nothing has changed since Wednesday, quarterback Aaron Rodgers looks unlikely to play Sunday when the Green Bay Packers travel to face the New England Patriots. The company line, thus far, is a decision on Rodgers won’t be made until Saturday, but the quarterback hasn’t done anything football-related, this week. Instead, the Packers have held [...]
No Rodgers

For those of you worried about Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and his availability for this weekend’s game, continue to be worried. Rodgers did not practice on Wednesday, while he continues to recover from his second concussion of the season.

Observations From Packers 17-13 Loss To Chiefs
Sep 2nd
The Green Bay Packers fell to the Kansas City Chiefs 17-13, Thursday night in their preseason finale. The game wasn’t easy to watch. The starters played only one series and veterans Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Grant, Donald Driver, Chad Clifton and Charles Woodson were healthy scratches. There were some interesting developments in the game, however, and [...]
Graham Harrell Unlikely To Make Final Roster
Sep 1st
I was a little disappointed to read Rob Demovsky’s article earlier this week about Green Bay Packers third-string quarterback Graham Harrell. According to Demovsky, Harrell has little chance of making the Packers final roster. The team kept only two quarterbacks on their opening-day roster last season and that appears to be the way they’re leaning [...]

The following is a look at Green Bay Packers training camp on Tuesday, August 17. The Green Bay Packers third running back is…..

Aug 3rd
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. My thoughts — he stays retired until September 9th when, while mowing the lawn, he decides to drive the lawnmower to the [...]

Quick observations: Team drills – Brandon Chillar gets the nod at OLB with Brad Jones still out. – Looks like we’ll have a long portion of team drills. Not much to report during those. Game situation, offense vs defense – [...]

The Green Bay Packers released four players yesterday in preparation for signing their draft picks.
