Packers: Class Of The NFL?
Nov 8th
The Green Bay Packers are the class of the NFL right now. We know this because the “experts” told us so. That doesn’t mean they’re not beatable, though. The only question right now is when that will happen.

McCarthy Has Had Enough Of Your Questions About Receivers

Packers Get Five ESPY Nominations, No One Cares
Jun 28th
The ESPYs, ESPN’s concocted sports award show, is on par with the Xbiz Awards as far as I’m concerned. Oh, you don’t know what the Xbiz Awards are? Well, they’re the wannabe AVN Awards, which is essentially the Oscars of porn. So I guess that would make the Xbiz Awards the Golden Globes of porn. [...]
Maintaining Focus Key For Packers’ Repeat
Jun 23rd
Maintaining focus will be key for the Green Bay Packers entering the 2011 season. The team, which will add several starters who were injured in 2010 to an already talented nucleus, will be facing off-the-charts expectations. With the amount of talent the Packers have, I think it’s fair to say anything less than a repeat [...]
Lockout, Shmockout: Tailgate Tour Goes On
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.

Injuries May Ultimately Cost Barnett, Chillar
Mar 12th
The Green Bay Packers starting inside linebackers in 2011 will be Desmond Bishop and A.J. Hawk.
That leaves Nick Barnett and Brandon Chillar, both of whom are coming off season-ending injuries, in a precarious position.
The Packers have committed $10 million to Hawk, this season and Bishop will make more than $5 million. Barnett has a salary cap number north of $6 million and Chillar makes more than $5 million per season, after signing a four-year extension in 2009.
Bishop Is Packers No. 1 Inside Linebacker, But Hawk Makes More
Mar 7th
I bet Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy wishes he kept his mouth shut.
I bet inside linebacker Desmond Bishop wishes he would have waited until after the season to sign a new contract.
A.J. Hawk, on the other hand, has to be happier than a pig in shit
Jordy Nelson: Warrior
Mar 7th
There was word Green Bay Packers receiver Jordy Nelson suffered an injury during Super Bowl XLV, but the extent of it wasn’t reported.
Nelson suffered a bursa sac injury in his left knee — bursa sacs are filled with fluid and act as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues in the body (yeah, I looked that up).
McCarthy’s Deal Worth More Than $6 Million Per Season
Mar 7th
Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy formally signed the contract extension we all knew he was getting, last week.
Initially, the deal was said to be worth $5 million per season, which would have put McCarthy behind Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith as the second-highest paid coach in the NFC North. That number is a little off, apparently.
Goodbye, Atari Bigby
Mar 2nd
Buried at the bottom of an article in which Bob McGinn tries his best to create a not-enough-balls controversy amongst the Green Bay Packers receivers was this nugget: safety Atari Bigby won’t be back.
No, no one’s said those exact words. No, it isn’t a surprise the Packers would choose younger players to replace an oft-injured veteran who’s about to hit free agency.
