Steelers’ Pouncey Will Miss Super Bowl
Jan 26th
Pittsburgh Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey will miss the Super Bowl, according to teammate Chris Kemoeatu. Pouncey has been fitted for a cast, after suffering what was believed to be a high-ankle sprain in the AFC Championship game. Pouncey didn’t return after suffering the injury, but suggested after the game he’d play in the Super Bowl. [...]
Packers Will Wear The Green
Jan 26th
There seemed to be some question. Which uniforms will the Green Bay Packers wear in the Super Bowl? The Packers had the choice as the home team, which is determined not by record, but by a rotation between the NFC and AFC. This is the NFC’s year to be the home team. The Packers will [...]
Packers’ Season Historic For More Than Just The Super Bowl
Jan 26th
The 2010 Green Bay Packers season is historic, but for another reason than their Super Bowl appearance. The Packers are the only team in NFL history to have six losses all by four points or fewer, according to Stats Inc. This team is also the first one to make the Super Bowl with only losses [...]

Matthews Is Sporting News Defensive Player Of The Year
Jan 12th
Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews has been tabbed the defensive player of the year by The Sporting News. Whether that transfers over to the “real” award, which is voted on by the Associated Press, remains to be seen, but Matthews will have some real competition from Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu. That being [...]
Who Is The Defensive Player Of The Year?
Jan 6th
There was a point in the season when everyone thought the answer to the question was a foregone conclusion. Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews. Then, a series of injuries and near constant double and triple teams started to slow Matthews. That isn’t to say his presence wasn’t felt. Matthews opens things up for his [...]
Jerry Kramer Wants You To Enlist You
Dec 3rd
That’s right, you. Green Bay Packers legend Jerry Kramer is organizing what he hopes will be a nationwide fundraiser to help former NFL players in need and he would like to enlist you. It’s all pretty easy if you’d like to participate. All you have to do is round up some friends and go to [...]
The Best Rivalry In The NFL Is…
Nov 30th
We’re biased, but we obviously think the best rivalry in the NFL is the Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings. Frankly, I wouldn’t piss on a Vikings fan if he were on fire and I felt that way even before a long-time hero decided he needed to stab an entire fan base in the back. [...]
Concussions To Blame For Big Ben’s Slimy Behavior?
Apr 26th
I nearly spit out my coffee this morning when I read this article from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, questioning whether Ben Roethlisberger’s recent asinine behavior could have stemmed from too many knocks to the head. People who suffer repeated head injuries often exhibit signs of aggression, childishness, impaired self-control, inappropriate sexual activity and alcohol abuse, according [...]
Packers Get Lucky, Bulaga Falls To No. 23
Apr 22nd
With all the talk of trading up or trading down, the Green Bay Packers got lucky in the end with Iowa left tackle Bryan Bulaga falling to the team as they stood pat at No. 23. There was word earlier in the day that Packers’ GM Ted Thompson was considering trading up to grab Bulaga, [...]
A Third Roethlisberger Accuser?
Apr 16th
Things are going from bad to worse for scumbag Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. On Friday, ABC News reported a third woman has told police that Roethlisberger sexually accosted her while drunk, according to a police report. The new accusation comes as the National Football League considers disciplinary actions against the two-time Super Bowl champion. [...]
Roethlisberger Deserves A Suspension
Apr 13th
This has nothing to do with the Green Bay Packers, but Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is the talk of the NFL this week after a district attorney in Georgia decided not to file sexual assault charges against the two-time Super Bowl champion. A 20-year-old college student had accused Big Ben of sexually assaulting her [...]
Some Interesting Free Agent Possibilities For Packers
Mar 3rd
Although there are players available – like Antrel Rolle, Dunta Robinson and Darren Sproles – who would make great additions to the Green Bay Packers in free agency, we all know who we’re dealing with here. We’re dealing with Ted Thompson and during his tenure with the Packers, Thompson has signed exactly one outside free [...]
Packers Should Follow Steelers’ Lead
Feb 16th
The Green Bay Packers have been following the Pittsburgh Steelers lead for a few years. They build almost exclusively through the draft, they converted to the 3-4 defense, and the Packers even hired the architect of Pittsburgh’s original 3-4 defense to run theirs – Dom Capers. Last week, the Steelers made the announcement that even [...]
Four Year-One Starting Caliber Tackles in 2010 NFL Draft
Feb 10th
The Green Bay Packers are certainly in the market for tackles this offseason. Both 2009 starters, Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher, are free agents. While the Packers may re-sign them simply because they don’t want to rely on two young and unproven tackles, both are at the end of the road and need to be [...]
Were the Packers Successful in the Last Decade?
Feb 9th
There are many ways to measure success in the NFL – regular season wins, division championships, Super Bowl titles, playoff wins, etc. You could look at any number of those things and come away with the conclusion that the Green Bay Packers were successful in the 00s. For example, the Packers averaged 9.5 wins per [...]
Packers Are 12/1 To Win 2011 Super Bowl
Feb 9th
Since this year’s football season and Super Bowl are over, we may as well turn our attention to next season. On Monday, Vegas got in on the act by releasing their opening lines for teams to win Super Bowl XLV. The Green Bay Packers opened at 12/1, giving them the sixth best chance to win [...]
Packers Have Some Work To Do In the Middle
Jan 11th
The Green Bay Packers defense was exposed by the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The NFL’s second-ranked unit fell apart against the vaunted Cardinals passing attack, much the same way they did three weeks earlier against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s now pretty clear why these things have happened. The middle of the Packers defense if vulnerable [...]
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 [...]
Statistically Speaking, Loss Not the Worse Thing for Packers
Dec 23rd
The Green Bay Packers were manhandled by the Pittsburgh Steelers offense on Sunday. Some might say the Packers were exposed. I might say the Packers were outcoached. Scratch that. I would say the Packers were outcoached. Still, that doesn’t particularly matter at this point. The Packers are 9-5 and, if they beat the Seattle Seahawks [...]
