Some interesting advice out there in the Packers blogosphere for Ted Thompson, who we all know reads our blogs religiously. Cheesehead TV suggests using one of our many recievers as trade bait to snag a defensive lineman from the Eagles. (Jake Allen and a 4th rounder?) Packergeeks, on the other hand, says send James Jones […]

We’re not very many hours removed from the first pre-season game of the Rodgers era, but it never too soon to get ready for Saturday’s game in San Francisco. To get everyone in the mood, those madcap masters of multimedia at Packer Palace have put together another classic video celebrating the Summer of Love […]

Continuing its efforts to dominate the online Wisconsin sports scene, Journal Communication’s SportsBubbler has added a little cheesecake to its lineup. Brigid Mullen, a UW grad and former SI on Campus contributer, will be writing a new blog for the site called Gridiron Girl, adding her voice to the sausage factory that is the Packers […]

Brian Carriveau announced this morning that he and his Railbird Central blog, one of the longest-running and most read sites in the Packers blogosphere, will soon be joining SportsBubbler.

Cheesehead TV thought the interview was a train wreck, calls […]

I completely missed the boat on the sports town hall program hosted by Bob Costas the other night, but I have since seen the videos of Buzz Bissinger’s insane tirade against sports bloggers and blogging in general. If you missed it too, The Bucky Channel has some clips. The sound of an industry dieing is […]

While blogging is slowly making inroads into mainstream media outlets and other corporate environments, there aren’t yet a lot of 9 to 5, regular paycheck jobs out there for bloggers. James Arndorfer, though, has landed a pretty good gig running Brew Blog for Miller Brewing.
According to a piece in the Wall Street Journal, Miller started […]

When most people think of Green Bay I’m sure that beer, cheese, paper mills, and the Packers all come to mind well before Web 2.0 technologies; however, the guys at Cheesehead TV are giving Packer Nation the social media Full Monty with a new feature on their web site.
Out of their secret lab comes a […]

I’m a little bit late with this, but Mike Cade has an excellent Brett Favre post at Transmissions from Grudge Harbor. It’s worth the read if for no other reason than it has the best title ever: Hell Bent 4 Leather

Big props, mixed with feelings of envy.
