The Greatest Play in Packers vs. Vikings History
Oct 3rd
This should come as no surprise to anyone who’s seen the play, but we’re going to go out on a limb here and call Antonio Freeman’s miraculous Monday Night Football catch and run the greatest play in the history of the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings rivalry. The touchdown itself was a 46-yarder, but it [...]
Brad Childress – Too Good to Be True!
Oct 2nd
It’s no secret that we like to make fun of certain things and people here at Total Packers. Two of the things that get our panties wet is when the Minnesota Vikings screw up and when Vikings’ coach Brad Childress says something stupid, which, now that we think of it, is pretty much every time [...]
It’s Favreday!
Oct 2nd
And why not? The hype machine is spinning out of control, and we’re having trouble keeping up with it, so we thought we’d rename Friday, Favreday just to catch you up. So what Favrelous things have transpired, you say? Well, some pretty interesting things related to the Green Bay Packers’ and Minnesota Vikings’ Monday Night [...]
The Best of Minnesota Vikings Humor
Oct 1st
In the continued anticipation and build up to the Yarn in the Barn (that being the Green Bay Packers versus the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football), we give you the best Vikings’ jokes, put downs and nonsense, all of which were submitted by readers. We hope you enjoy, because you’re probably going to need [...]
Get To Know A Viking: Bizarro Brett
Oct 1st
We all know about Brett Favre. Thanks to the breathless coverage and retellings of his life story over the past two decades, we know all about him. We know his middle name is frickin’ Lorenzo. We know all about his family and his wife’s cancer survival and activism. Many of us can recite his accomplishments [...]
Why Fret About Brett?
Sep 30th
Let me pose a question. Why fret about Brett? Really. I admit there has been a lot of hype and drama over the last year and a half; even the last five years with Brett Favre’s “will he or won’t he retire” game. Personally, I was really upset over Brett’s decision to retire from the [...]
Packers vs. Vikings: Let the Bullshit Fest Begin
Sep 29th
It’s only Tuesday, and already the spin machine is churning in anticipation of next Monday night’s meeting between the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings at the MetroBarn. Of course, Vikings’ coach Brad Childress’ latest comments are the lamest from either side, telling reporters the team’s Winter Park facility “won’t be vibrating” this week [...]
The Brett Favre Effect
Sep 28th
They may not be able to sell many more season tickets because, let’s face it, the Minnesota Vikings have the worst fans in the world, but they are a hell of a lot better team with Brett Favre playing quarterback. Despite what I think of him personally, Favre’s game-winning throw to Greg Lewis yesterday was [...]
The Last Time An Opposing Player Did The Lambeau Leap
Sep 19th
As we mentioned yesterday, Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco wants to do the Lambeau Leap when he comes to town this Sunday. Well, maybe Ochocinco had better think again. The last opposing player to try a Lambeau Leap wasn’t received so warmly. His name was Fred Smoot. He played cornerback for the Minnesota Vikings. After [...]
How Much More Ridiculous Can This Brett Favre Shit Get?
Sep 15th
Very, apparently. While sifting through the usual crap in my inbox this morning, I happened upon a press release from some knucklehead named Chris Carriveau, who is heading up a “purification ceremony” at the “BLACK SUNDAY EVENT” Saturday, Oct. 31 — the day before Brett Favre returns to Lambeau Field to play the Green Bay [...]
What Brett Favre Told Packers Fans
Sep 12th
From where I stand there is one big thing missing from this ridiculous Brett Favre saga – an acceptable message from him directly to Green Bay Packers’ fans. Doesn’t anyone think Favre owes Packers’ fans an explanation? Favre has enjoyed arguably the best career of any Packers’ player. Sure, he gave the Packers a lot, [...]
Brad Childress – Idiot
Sep 11th
In yet another display of why he is quite possibly the worst coach in the NFL, Minnesota Vikings’ coach Brad Childress surprised many Thursday by releasing wideout Bobby Wade only a week after Wade agreed to rework his contract and take a $1.5 million pay cut. His replacement? Greg Lewis, a former Philadelphia Eagles’ receiver [...]
Favre May Not Play 16, Addresses Team
Sep 9th
Some interesting news came out of Minnesota today. Former Green Bay Packers quarterback and current Minnesota Vikings scumbag Brett Favre said that he may not be able to play all 16 games this year. That is, not that he doesn’t want to play all 16, but more that he would sit if his health isn’t [...]
NFC North Preview
Sep 9th
Yesterday, I wrote about how the NFC North is shaping up as the strongest division in football, which says one thing: this division will be both tough and competitive. Any one of three teams has a legitimate opportunity to win the NFC North. In addition to the Green Bay Packers, the Chicago Bears and Minnesota [...]
NFC North: Best in the NFL and Other Packers Odd and Ends
Sep 8th
Certainly this is open for debate, but several people have mentioned the NFC North as the potential powerhouse division in football this season. That would be a big jump for a division that produced the first 0-16 team in NFL history, a 6-10 Green Bay Packers team with a sieve-like defense, a mediocre version of [...]
Worst Fans in America: Minnesota Vikings
Sep 5th
It’s something that we’ve always known here at Total Packers, but now other people are starting to figure it out. Who are the worst fans in all of pro sports? Minnesota Vikings fans, of course! While we’re waiting for Ted Thompson to figure out who he’s going to cut (uhhhh… Jarrett Bush, maybe?), we thought [...]
The Packers: A Few Laughs to Get You Through the Week
Sep 2nd
We here at Total Packers like to have a laugh. We REALLY like to have a laugh at the expense of people from Minnesota or Illinois, but we also like to laugh at ourselves, because hey, there’s a lot about Green Bay to laugh about. So today, we thought we’d fire up a few things [...]
Favre Looks Solid, Unspectacular on Monday Night
Aug 31st
As most fans and former fans of Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Brett Favre, I had one eye on Reliant Stadium in Houston tonight, when the Vikings took on the Houston Texans. After Favre’s less-than-stellar debut for the Vikings last week (1-for-4, 4 yards), I think some of us were hoping Favre was washed up, that perhaps [...]
Favre a Dividing Force in Minnesota?
Aug 26th
Well, you had to know this would happen. It appears that one Brett Favre is creating “issues” or perhaps a “schism” in the Minnesota Vikings locker room, something that can only be good for the Green Bay Packers and the rest of the NFC North. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that several Vikings favor the team’s [...]
