WhatIfSports: Packers Win Super Bowl XLV
Jul 24th
We’ve talked about the importance, or lack there of, of preseason predictions. However, WhatIfSports.com is a little bit different and little bit more intriguing. The site uses a computer to generate the results for each NFL game of the season based on player stats. Of course, they’re using 2009 season stats for their projections at [...]
Justin Harrell Will Never Be The Biggest Bust In The 2007 Draft
Jul 21st
No, that honor will go to No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell, who was dumped by the Oakland Raiders after three seasons and will go down as one of the all-time great busts. Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Just Harrell is in the next group, though. Harrell is one of nine of the 32 players [...]
The Thing About Preseason Predictions
Jul 1st
Is they don’t mean anything. Sure, the Green Bay Packers are the preseason darling of many — the fashionable Super Bowl choice, if you will. What does that get the Packers? High expectations. Granted, there’s no reason this year’s version of the Packers shouldn’t have high expectations entering the season, but it’s July 1. No [...]

Mandarich Could Move Down List Of All-Time Busts
Apr 28th
When talk turns to the biggest busts of all time in the NFL Draft, the name Tony Mandarich always comes up. The Green Bay Packers drafted Mandarich second overall in the 1989 draft, choosing him ahead of such all-time greats as Barry Sanders, Derrick Thomas and Deion Sanders.

Feb 26th
After LaDainian Tomlinson was released by the San Diego Chargers there was immediately Internet speculation about him joining the Green Bay Packers. Subsequently, we told you why that makes no sense, but that didn’t stop none other than the San Diego Union Tribune’s Chris Jenkins from bringing up Green Bay as a potential destination for [...]
Tomlinson To Packers – Why It Makes No Sense
Feb 23rd
You don’t have to be a San Deigo Chargers’ fan to be a fan of LaDainian Tomlinson. The guy is not only likable, but he’s been one of the best players in the NFL since 2001. If you’re a fan of the Green Bay Packers, you’ve probably had at least a fleeting visage of Tomlinson [...]
Chargers’ Cromartie To Packers: Only If Price Is Right
Feb 18th
The San Diego Chargers need a running back. LaDanian Tomlinson, who will turn 31 in June, is likely to be released by the team after gaining only 730 yards and averaging 3.3 yards per carry in 2009.

Feb 4th
It’s complete and total fantasy, but it’s a fantasy started by Green Bay Packers inside linebacker Nick Barnett, so we’ll explore it. If you watch football, you probably know Shawne Merriman is an outside linebacker for the San Diego Chargers. Merriman would have been an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but will now be restricted [...]
No Love For Mike McCarthy
Jan 18th
Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy got no love in the NFL Coach of the Year race, despite some speculation that he might. As we predicted, the Cincinnati Bengals’ Marvin Lewis ran away with the award. McCarthy finished… well, he didn’t get any votes, so he didn’t really finish anywhere. Oddly enough… or perhaps not [...]
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 [...]

McCarthy Coach of the Year Candidate?
Jan 6th
Those are the last words I ever thought I’d write in this space, but it appears, at least in some circles, that Green Bay Packers boss Mike McCarthy is a legitimate candidate for the NFL’s coach of the year. Personally, I’d think the Cincinnati Bengals Marvin Lewis is high on a lot of lists, as [...]
