TiVo Time: San Francisco 49ers
Dec 9th
It’s like t-shirt time, only better, because no one from Jersey is involved. Shawn Neuser takes a look at the Green Bay Packers 34-16 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The Green Bay Packers did what they needed to in dispatching the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Here is a closer look at the key [...]
Donald Driver: One More Time
Dec 8th
For some reason, this touchdown reception by Green Bay Packers receiver Donald Driver against the San Francisco 49ers never gets old. So, watch it one more time before the Nazis at the NFL have it pulled from YouTube. If you heard the local radio broadcast, Larry McCarren yelled, “The old man’s still got it!” as [...]
Packers Offense Soars, Defense Struggles
Dec 5th
The Green Bay Packers started slow, at one point trailing 6-0, but after an electrifying second quarter touchdown catch by Greg Jennings, there was no looking back for the Green Bay offense. Aaron Rodgers continued his hot streak and the Packers defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-16. As I pointed out in my prediction, 49ers [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. 49ers
Dec 4th
Shawn: The San Francisco 49ers are still in contention to win their pathetic division, and they are coming off probably their best game of the season. So, they will at least start this game with the belief that they can play with the Green Bay Packers. It will be up to the Packers to dispel [...]
Clay Matthews Should Have A Field Day On Sunday
Dec 4th
The San Francisco 49ers clearly intend on throwing any and everyone they have at Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Clay Matthews, on Sunday. Matthews and his league-leading 11.5 sacks will be lined up across from rookie right tackle Anthony Davis. Granted, Davis was a first-round pick this season, but he’s struggled in every game with [...]
Johnson: Singletary Is A Motivational Speaker
Dec 1st
Since the Green Bay Packers are playing the San Francisco 49ers this week, I thought it would be interesting to point this out. Former Dallas Cowboys and Miami Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson said 49ers coach Mike Singletary is like a motivational speaker posing as a football coach. I’m paraphrasing a bit, but the message is [...]
Packers Could Pursue Michael Lewis
Oct 5th
This is just speculation, but the fact that the Green Bay Packers lost starting strong safety Morgan Burnett to a season-ending ACL tear and the San Francisco 49ers released Micheal Lewis, the team’s opening-day starter at strong safety, seems like a nice coincidence. Lewis had a falling out with coach Mike Singletary last week and [...]
NFL Could Be Headed To London Full Time
Jul 19th
The NFL has been playing one game each season in London for several years now. That isn’t likely to affect the Green Bay Packers under it’s current format because Packers fans and the team would go bat shit if the league proposed moving a home game out of Lambeau Field, particularly to another country. Somewhat [...]
NFL RedZone Coming To Lambeau Field
Jun 1st
There might be a reason for you to hold off on buying another beer between quarters when you’re in Lambeau Field this season. That’s because the NFL RedZone, which broadcasts real time look-ins and highlights from NFL games, will be available in all 32 NFL stadiums this season. Previously, NFL teams could only broadcast NFL [...]

Dream Of Acquiring Ted Ginn Shattered, But Fifth-Rounders Are Priceless
Apr 16th
Just a quick note, since I did way too much research on the subject the other day in suggesting the Green Bay Packers and do-nothing general manager Ted Thompson could and should realistically look at acquiring Miami Dolphins’ return man/receiver Ted Ginn Jr. — Ginn was traded to the San Francisco 49ers today for a [...]

The Minnesota Vikings lost some big-time leverage in its quest for a new stadium.

Aaron Rodgers: Player of the Decade
Dec 30th
We’re speaking of the next decade, of course – the teens I guess you wold call them. And actually, we’re not speaking in this case at all, the Sporting News is.
