At first this whole thing about bounties and payoffs among the Green Bay defense seemed like so much hooey that I wasn’t even going to post anything on it, but now it seems the league is actually involved and investigating. So let me add my two cents that this is all such a to-do about […]

We’re just a couple days away now from Thanksgiving, the second greatest holiday on the entire calendar. It’s a whole day devoted to festive overeating and football, only Christmas can top it.
This year, unfortunately, one of those football games involves the Green Bay Packers playing in Detroit, which has given me indigestion since the start […]

Randy Moss and Terrell Owens are the talk of the town after putting up some sick numbers yesterday. Both wide receivers scored four touchdowns, each played a down on defense and batted down a pass. The only difference between them yesterday: T.O. had 173 yards on eight catches, while Moss had 128 yards on 10 […]

The Green Bay Packers treated the home crowd at Lambeau Field to another victory today, beating the Carolina Panthers 31-17. Two games, two blowouts; hey guys, can we keep this up the rest of the season?
The passing game once again led the way in this game. Brett Favre had 218 yards and three touchdowns, his […]

Maybe its wasn’t as dramatic as 2005, but the UW Badgers football team still made it interesting at the Metrodome yesterday. Wisconsin dug itself a deep hole early before gutting out a 41-34 win over the Minnesota Gophers to hang on to Paul Bunyan’s Axe one more year. Hopefully after this season, Bret Bielema and […]

Generally I’m all about new technology and things like that, but I’m still a little dubious when it comes to podcasts. I know there are some good ones out there, but so many of them are just for crap, either in production value or content. So it took me a while to get around to […]

The regular season finale is upon us this weekend when the #25 Wisconsin Badgers make the trek to the Humpty Dome to play Minnesota. The Gophers are just looking pretty dreadful this year with an 0-7 record in the Big 10 and 1-10 overall. They lost to North Dakota State, for gosh sakes! I don’t […]

Alright, maybe the Carolina Panthers are looking more like little kittens this season and maybe Green Bay’s match-up this week isn’t the most exciting one on the schedule, but it could be argued this is the biggest trap game of the year so far.
The Panthers come into Lambeau Field with a three-game losing streak, but […]

At the beginning of the season, Ted Thompson decided to keep just two quarterbacks on the roster, backup Aaron Rodgers and starter Brett Favre. Now that it is Week 11, TT decided to get around to filling that hole.
The Packers invited six unsigned players to an open tryout this week, including former New Orleans Saints […]

Another Monday and more inanity from Peter King, the Monday Morning Quarterback. While in this week’s edition he goes on at some length about Brett Favre (what’s new) there was this:
The Vikings just didn’t show up. I saw two-thirds of that game, and you can’t tell me the Packers are that much better. Good character […]
