Despite the prescription medication, the post-playoff funk still lingers. I have avoided most things football related this week (doctor’s orders) but I couldn’t help but read the torrent of articles from journalists and bloggers questioning why the Packers lost the NFC Championship on Sunday night. So far, though, there doesn’t seem to be a clear […]

Twelve hours removed from the end of the NFC Championship game and it still hurts like hell. It’s going to take some time to get over this, but maybe in a month or so I’ll be able to look back and think about what a good season the Packers had in 2007. Maybe.

I’m too numb to articulate anything about this NFC Championship loss beyond anger, sadness, disappointment. One for 10 on third down; Plaxico Burress with 11 catches for 154 yards; the Giants held the ball for 40 minutes. An ugly way to end a beautiful season. Congratulations to the Gints and good luck in the Super Bowl.

[…]

By now you’ve all probably heard the story of the local FOX affiliate in Green Bay that plans to pull its airing of a Seinfeld episode on Saturday because apparently it is the favorite show of one Eli Manning. Well now comes word that Manning the Younger might not have to go without his daily […]

It’s the NFC Championship. It’s Brett Favre and Lambeau Field. It’s going to be around 0 degrees at game time. It’s going to be the Green Bay Packers advancing to Super Bowl XLII.
Okay, you probably saw that prediction coming a mile away, but I will go out on a limb and say that the Packers […]

#1 Giants fan Carl Brutananadilewski has a message for Brett Favre, “I’m coming for you!” Hilarious.

Thanks for Bobby O’Shea at GBB&B for finding this clip.

Former Packer center Grey Ruegamer was mobbed by reporters in the Giants locker room and asked about the cold weather of Green Bay and playing in the frozen confines of Lambeau Field. According to the report in the Journal Sentinel, Ruegamer was asked if he would wear sleeves during the game, to which he replied, […]

I’m no poster boy for PC behavior when it comes to the Green Bay Packers — you do not want to see me watching a game — but the guy in Pardeeville who strapped his kid down with packing tape because he refused to root for the Packers really takes the cake. As horrible as […]
