Welcome Back, Detroit
Sep 28th
Look, we have no love for the Detroit Lions here at Total Packers, but it was good to see them break their 18-game losing streak yesterday. The Lions won’t be contending for the NFC North title anytime soon, but it looks like they will at least be competitive in most of the games they play [...]
Fox Sports vs. ESPN Or The Non-Story That Was A Story

From the “I Got 99 Problems But a Bitch Ain’t One” file came this past Saturday night’s preseason loss (34-6) to the disgustingly bad (5-11, last year) San Francisco 49ers. First, having witnessed this debacle first hand, I have to say, Jarrett Bush – you’re cut! It seemed each time I looked up from my [...]
