April 30, 2008

One of the more hilarious, although increasingly annoying, sentiments to come out of the NFL Draft weekend is has been this general opinion among certain mainstream media scribes that by selecting Brian Brohm in the second round, Ted Thompson has sent a message that he and Mike McCarthy have serious doubts about Aaron Rodgers’ chances […]

At the start of the 2008 NFL Draft, it was still up in the air as to whether Ted Thomspon would take even one QB, but here it is at the end of the second day and the Packers have two new recruits. So long, Jerry Babb and Dalton Bell, it was nice knowing you.
Aaron […]

The past couple days the pool of free agent quarterback “talent” shrank by two when Joey Harrington re-signed with the Falcons, the team that cut him a couple weeks ago, and David Carr got plucked off the street by the Giants. Thankfully now those two are off the market and we can’t stop worrying about […]

Like a lot of other Packer fans, I’ve been doing much thinking the past week on how the Green Bay front office should proceed forward (or should that be Fourward?) into the post-Favre era. Aaron Rodgers of course will get first crack at becoming the next great Packers quarterback, but a lot of names have […]

March 4, 2008

What a day. I spent a vast majority of it reading stories and blog posts, watching ESPN and press conferences, and listening to WTMJ online. (Oh, the day job will not be pleased with my productivity.) But even after all of that, I still can’t quite get my head around the idea that Brett Favre […]

Some early reaction to Brett Favre’s retirement announcement from around the Packer blogosphere: Cheesehead TV simply congratulates Favre on an amazing career. My Official Green Bay Packers Blog feels like crap. Railbird Central has posted a blank image symbolic of the void Brett Favre has left.

DrBear at Packerama says to Packer fans, “welcome to the rest of your […]

If newly-hired Packers CEO Mark Murphy wants to earn some props, he’d bring a faith healer or a shaman to Green Bay to lay hands on Aaron Rodgers, because the latest news out of the Hutson Center is not good.
The Packers backup quarterback, who preformed admirably in relief on Thursday night, pulled a hamstring yesterday […]

The Packers cut almost a dozen players from the roster yesterday in advance of Tuesday’s deadline, including backup quarterback Ingle Martin. The second-year pro and fifth-round draft pick enjoyed cult popularity status in Packers Nation because of his dual threat capability at QB and as a punter. Unfortunately he never panned out as either a […]

Watching Green Bay fall to Jacksonville 21-13 in their third pre-season game leaves me wondering, “Were the Seahawks really that bad, or did the Packers take a big step backwards?” I didn’t think the Green & Gold would have a repeat performance of their huge win over Seattle but this was a pretty disappointing game […]

January 18, 2007

With the NFL season grinding relentlessly to its conclusion, we Packer fans are left to watch the John Deere oracle for signs of white smoke. There’s a long, cold winter ahead with plenty of time (too much?) to ponder and speculate about the future of our team.
The Brett Favre question is obviously the biggest and […]
