Collins: We Want No. 1 Defense
Jun 28th
Green Bay Packers’ safety Nick Collins made no bones about it. The Packers want to have the NFL’s No. 1 defense in 2010. “We want to be the No. 1 overall defense,” Collins said. “We want everybody to talk about us, not talk about what we could be.” That might be tough for a number [...]
Packers Reportedly Discussing New Contract With Woodson
Jun 8th
This comes as a bit of a surprise, but the Green Bay Packers and cornerback Charles Woodson are reportedly discussing a new contract. I say it’s a bit of a surprise because, although Woodson is coming off perhaps his finest season, he’ll be 34 this year and still has three years left on his current [...]

Feb 15th
If you take the time to sift through all of the mindless blather that is Peter King’s Monday Morning Quarterback column you may eventually come across something that’s interesting to read. Actually, you’ll probably want to stab yourself in the eyes if you try to do this, so just let trained professionals like us sift [...]
The Rest of the Green Bay Packers News
Jan 23rd
No, I’m not going to start doing a Green Bay Packers-related link dump every day, or even every week. I get much more satisfaction from writing stuff and then letting you guys shit all over it. Besides, Railbird Central already does that, and does it better than I would ever care to do it, with [...]

Packers Defensive Line Will Win Super Bowl
Jan 7th
The statement alone is preposterous – the Green Bay Packers defensive line will lead the team to a Super Bowl title – but the statistics back it up. We’re talking about the Defensive Hog Index, developed by Cold Hard Football Facts. The Green Bay Packers rank first this season and that’s significant because, since it’s [...]
Should There Be Penalties For Sitting Starters?
Dec 30th
Although the Indianapolis Colts are at the center of this discussion after they pulled the plug early against the New York Jets on Sunday, the Green Bay Packers very much factor into the conversation because, as we’ve discussed, Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals could very well be meaningless for the Pack. It brings up [...]
Has Revis Edged Woodson For Defensive Player of the Year?
Dec 28th
We’ve handed Green Bay Packers’ cornerback Charles Woodson the defensive player of the year award already, but noted that his strongest competition is likely to come from New York Jets’ cornerback Darrelle Revis. Well, after the last two weeks, it appears the race isn’t quite over, and in fact, is probably closer than we imagine. [...]
It’s Not Just Mason Crosby – All NFL Kickers Suck
Dec 24th
We certainly take our share of shots at Green Bay Pacekers’ kicker Mason Crosby around here, but the New York Times did an interesting analysis that shows the NFL’s kickers as a whole pretty much suck. Last season, kickers made 84.5 percent of their field goals – an all-time high. So far this season, that [...]
Jets’ Revis Woodson’s Main Competition For Defensive MVP
Dec 18th
Around these parts it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that the Green Bay Packers’ Charles Woodson will be the NFL Defensive Player of the Year. We’ve looked at the competition and crunched the numbers. But we may have overlooked one guy – New York Jets’ cornerback Darrelle Revis. Previously, our discussion centered around the Minnesota [...]
Has Favre Put the Packers On the Hot Seat?
Sep 25th
Sometimes, well… most of the time, no… all of the time, we wish Brett Favre would just keep his piehole shut. No, this has nothing to do with his aw shucks, good-ole-boy act or what he is or isn’t saying to Green Bay Packers fans. This has to do with very serious consequences the Packers [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Illustrating The Vikings Chances: Brett Favre Statistical Breakdown
Aug 19th
A lot has been said about what Brett Favre will mean to the Minnesota Vikings. Certainly, I think it’s fair to say the Vikings are now the favorite to win the division. Some pundits have tapped them as the favorite to win the Super Bowl. But hold the phone. The Vikings were going to be [...]
