Sweet Jebus, thank you for delivering the Green Bay Packers from the clutches of ineptitude and stupid penalties and granting them a victory over Detroit. Amen.
The Thanksgiving Classic yesterday between the Packers and Lions was very much like the typical family Turkey Day meal: There’s some jostling and cajoling when the family all first arrives, […]

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.

Hats off to Ryan Longwell who made three field goals, including the game winner from 28 yards. A gameball also goes to Samkon Gado […]

Jeff Garcia + Frozen Tundra = Green Bay victory We need a win to help keep the ghosts of the Forrest Gregg era at bay. The Lions haven’t won at Lambeau Field since 1991. We’re playing a Lions team that thought replacing Steve Mariucci with Dick Juron would be a good idea.

I’ll be munching on sausage from Kewaskum […]
