The Packers got their first preseason win, if that means anything, last night and amazingly the two guys I’ve dogged the most were the keys to the win. Quarterback Matt Flynn and running back Brandon Jackson starred after another all-world … Continue reading →

9:01 PM:  All I would like to see is more of the same from the offense and a little pass rush on defense. Just about time for kickoff. 9:08 PM:  Nice 3-and-out for the defense. No put 7 on the … Continue reading →

Well, now that the greatest player in the history of sport has returned to the Vikings as expected, the Green Bay Packers will have to decide if they want to bother to even play this year knowing they have no … Continue reading →

It was only the first game of the preseason but the Packers’ defense and special teams did not show the expected improvement from within that has been preached all offseason. Both units opened with poor performances against the Browns last … Continue reading →

7:02 PM:  A perfect night for football. Just get Rodgers in and out with getting hurt and let Matt Flynn and Graham Harrell stink up the place. Feels like a defensive battle looming if you ask me. 7:12 PM:  Good … Continue reading →

The Packers first showing of the year to at least the local masses was almost as impressive as the national media forecasts for the team. The Packers’ first-team offense and first-team defense were clicking on all cylinders and the key … Continue reading →

The Green Bay Packers are poised to make a Super Bowl run and at almost every position they are well stocked. They are however, woefully understocked at one key position – backup quarterback. For whatever reason, the Packers staff is … Continue reading →

Wow! It’s amazing the power of a text message and the lunacy of ESPN. The Brett Favre network devoted a whole day to the retirement of Brett Favre for a third time today even though there was no contact between … Continue reading →

Are you kidding me? Atari Bigby holds out for a new contract even though he isn’t physically able to play? Is a first grade education all you need to be a NFL player agent? It can’t be much more than … Continue reading →

If you were at today’s shareholders meeting you can’t possibly not be fired up for the upcoming season. With the Packers being a good team with the potential to be great, the atmosphere at Lambeau today was as electric as … Continue reading →

Having a unique talent is not always easy, as Green Bay native Tony Shalhoub’s Monk character would say, “it’s a blessing, and a curse.” After some recent comments by Packers’ tight end Jermichael Finley, I’m wondering if the Packers might … Continue reading →

As we inch closer to training camp the Green Bay Packers are becoming one of the most talked about teams in the NFL. You can’t tune into any sports channel that is talking NFL without one of the commentators bringing … Continue reading →

I use the same phrase in golf a lot more times than I care to admit. When asked why I shot so bad I say “offense, defense, special teams.” In golf a bad round is the result of a loss … Continue reading →

Obviously I’m in the minority on this one, but I am not a fan of expanding the NFL season to 18 games. I hate to admit it, actually, I don’t hate to admit it, but I like preseason games. While … Continue reading →

Johnny Jolly may be stupid but he ain’t dumb, he at least knows the difference between $2.5 million and $500,000, even if he might never see a dime of it. What Atari Bigby and Tramon Williams are thinking is beyond … Continue reading →

What the hell is going on out there?! The off-the-field exploits of Johnny Jolly and now Brandon Underwood are making the Packers look like the Pittsburgh Steelers or Cincinnati Bengals. Enough is enough. The Packers should cut ties with both … Continue reading →

Judging from the likes of Peter King, Chris Mortensen and Mel Kiper, the Packers are the feel-good pick as a Super Bowl favorite in 2010. While it is two months before training camp, the Packers seem to have all the … Continue reading →

Now that Brian Cushing has been suspended by the NFL for four using PED’s, the national media has been all over Clay Matthews. It appears that because Matthews was a teammate of Cushing he also used PEDs, even though by … Continue reading →

Now that all is said and done here is what I think about the NFC North and the 2010 NFL Draft. The Lions cleaned up. I think the Lions did enough over the three days to move them ahead of … Continue reading →

It is safe to say the Packers might not see an immediate impact from their top picks this year, but that is a direct reflection of the status of their current roster more than anything else. With the lack of … Continue reading →

Bryan Bulaga looks like he was born to be a Green Bay Packer. He has the look of a meat-and-potatoes type of guy that will fit right in in Green Bay. It doesn’t hurt that he is a top-ten talent … Continue reading →

My first take on the Packers’ 2010 schedule is a good one. It’s an even mix of home and away games and includes three Sunday night games and a Monday night game. The Packers will be on national TV six … Continue reading →

I almost laughed out loud the first morning I turned on the local sports radio show when I woke up in Tarpon Springs, Florida two weeks ago. I could have swore the guy on WDAE was talking about Ted Thompson … Continue reading →

The NFL changed the overtime format today and even if it is only for the playoffs it is a mistake and makes no sense. If they wanted to change the rules in overtime to eliminate the field goal to win … Continue reading →

I know I’m late to the party but I’ll give my take anyway. Signing the four players they did last week was something the Packers simply had to do. Letting four starters go was not the way to build on … Continue reading →
