Clusterfuck Update 7/26: Free Agent Deals And McNabb To Vikings
Jul 26th
Teams can’t officially sign free agents until Friday, but that didn’t stop several players from agreeing to contracts. That, plus the Minnesota Vikings pursuit of Donovan McNabb and Nnamdi Asomugha’s first suitor.
20 Questions With Sam Farmer
Jun 14th
We’re dropping some real football knowledge this morning, courtesy of the Los Angeles Times’ NFL writer, Sam Farmer. Farmer is seriously keyed in and he doesn’t make you want to stab yourself in the eyes when you read his work, like, say, a certain Sports Illustrated writer. In addition to being all over the lockout, [...]
Surprise! Lambeau Field Toughest NFL Venue
Jun 7th
Seriously, whoever came up with the idea to rank the 10 toughest venues in the NFL must be a brain surgeon. When you consider the venue itself, the team playing it and the fans sitting in it, Lambeau Field is clearly the hands-down winner, which is exactly what the geniuses at ESPN found out this [...]
Packers Might Have Super Bowl Hangover
May 26th
This probably wasn’t the best offseason for a lockout, at least as far as the Green Bay Packers organization is concerned. Every team coming off a Super Bowl win experiences some sort of hangover. The players are partying, making personal appearances, getting their faces in the media and partaking in all kinds of stupid promotional and [...]
Where Are They Now? Packers’ Draft Busts: 1990-1999
Apr 7th
The Green Bay Packers have had their share of draft busts over the years. Some have been epic (Tony Mandarich), while others have snuck out of town almost unnoticed (Terrence Murphy). Well, thankfully we’re here to dredge up your past failures, point our gnarled, crooked, judgmental fingers at you and cackle. For you’ve shamed the [...]
Want To Curse Aaron Rodgers? Go Right Ahead!
Mar 21st
There are a lot of curses in sports, several of them relate to covers. There’s the curse of the Sports Illustrated cover and the curse of the Madden cover. Actually, I think if you’re on the cover of anything other than GQ or Esquire, you’re probably going to be cursed in some way. That’s because [...]
Everyone Upset Packers Didn’t Acquire Lynch, But Would It Matter?
Oct 12th
Lost in the malaise surrounding the Green Bay Packers’ injury report last week was this nugget — pretty much everyone in the organization is pissed general manager Ted Thompson failed to acquire running back Marshawn Lynch from the Buffalo Bills. Lynch was traded to the Seattle Seahawks for a fourth-round pick in 2011 and a [...]
Marshawn Lynch Will Not Be Joining The Packers
Oct 5th
The Seattle Seahawks completed a deal to acquire Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch for a fourth-round pick in 2011 and a conditional pick in 2012, today. The Packers seemed to be the obvious destination for Lynch since Ryan Grant went down with a season-ending injury in week one and much speculation and rumor followed, [...]
No Need To Panic About Defense Yet
Aug 23rd
For the second week in a row, the Green Bay Packers offense looked unstoppable, while their defense looked suspect — this time in a 27-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. Just as they did against Cleveland a week earlier, the Packers employed a vanilla version of their defense. Unlike last year, when the team was [...]
Think You Can Tailgate And Want To Be On TV?
Jun 17th
I don’t normally post stuff like this, but I thought this was a pretty cool opportunity. I probably would have submitted my own name if I had a “rig.” My crew just gets drunk on Old Fashions three hours before the game. Remember, when you represent Green Bay Packers fans, you’re representing all of us, [...]
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, [...]
Packers Could Trade Up And Who They Might Land
Apr 20th
One thing we haven’t discussed in relation to this week’s NFL Draft is the possibility of the Green Bay Packers trading up. The reason we haven’t discussed it is because Packers’ general manager Ted Thompson has only traded up twice in his five years on the job. He did, of course, move up last year [...]
Packers’ 2010 Preseason Schedule Released
Mar 31st
The Green Bay Packers’ 2010 preseason schedule has been released and it is highlighted by a nationally televised contest with the defending AFC Champion Indianapolis Colts. Specific dates and times have not been announced, with the exception of the Colts’ game, but the Packers’ preseason schedule shapes up as follows. Aug. 12-16 – Cleveland Browns [...]
Day One Free Agency Update
Mar 5th
We’re going to update this post throughout the day simply because there already is a lot going on and there will be a lot more in the free for all known as NFL free agency. The most recent news will be at the top. ———- Safety Antrel Rolle was the last big signing of the [...]
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 [...]
Packers’ Schneider Named Seahawks GM
Jan 19th
The Green Bay Packers lost someone on Tuesday and the offseason hasn’t really even begun. Director of football operations John Schneider is leaving the team to take over as the Seattle Seahawks general manager. What does that mean for the Packers? Well, not a whole lot. Schneider was responsible for scouting, hiring coaches and working [...]
No One Wants to Coach in Chicago
Jan 14th
Well, maybe not no one – Chicago Bears’ coach Lovie Smith probably still wants to coach there, but he hasn’t exactly been given a recipe that’s likely to result in success. After firing half of his staff, simply because the Bears’ organization was too cheap to do what they really wanted to do and fire [...]
Cool It, Crosby, You’re Not Off The Hook Yet
Dec 28th
Slumping Green Bay Packers’ kicker Mason Crosby did what he was supposed to do Sunday in the team’s 48-10 blowout of the Seattle Seahawks – make field goals and extra points. But you’d think he pitched in as quarterback or hit a 70-yard, game-winning kick the way everyone – including Green Bay Press-Gazette columnists Pete [...]
Packers Wrap Up Playoff Berth With Dominating Effort
Dec 27th
The Green Bay Packers destroyed the Seattle Seahawks 48-10 and in conjunction with a loss by the New York Giants, wrapped up their first playoff berth in the Aaron Rodgers era. The Packers’ defense was dominant again, rebounding from their terrible performance in Pittsburgh a week earlier. They intercepted Seahawks’ quarterback Matt Hasselbeck four times [...]
Predictions: Packers vs. Seahawks
Dec 27th
Monty: Following a disappointing loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Green Bay Packers’ mettle will be tested. Fortunately, they’re playing in Lambeau Field against a pretty bad Seattle Seahawks team, this week. The Seahawks are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and while that may sound familiar, this Seattle team lacks [...]
