1. Pre-game warm up. This pre-season game will be our first chance to see how Aaron Rodgers responds as a starter in the NFL, so be sure to get a good base with a proper lunch for all the drinking tonight. You might also want to have some pre-game snacks (summer sausage, cheese and crackers, […]

Holiday chores and Christmas parties haven’t left a lot of time this week to worry much about the Packers game against the Rams on Sunday. Of course, there’s just not a whole lot to worry about with St. Louis.
Needing two victories over the next three games to clinch a first-round bye, this isn’t technically a […]

The Autumn wind is a Raider Pillaging just for fun He’ll knock you ’round and upside down And laugh when he’s conquered and won.

Alright, the maybe the Oakland Raiders today aren’t quite the Silver & Black wrecking crew that terrorized the league in the 1970s. They’ve been in rebuilding mode ever since Gruden’s Bucs beat them in […]

Anybody else wake up today feeling like it’s Christmas? Thank goodness I took the week off from work because I would be worthless at the office today. With the buildup and anticipation of seeing 10-1 Green Bay facing its biggest game of the season, this is certainly the biggest football holiday outside of the post-season; […]

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 […]

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 […]

I know very little about quarterback Koy Detmer, who was signed this week by the Vikings to back up Brooks Bollinger. I know he has a brother Ty. I know he played for the Eagles and I think I remember he didn’t look horrible in a couple starts when McNabb was hurt (or was that […]

Just a week after setting the NFL single game rushing record, Adrian Peterson will be playing his first game at (cue John Facenda) historic Lambeau Field. The 72,000 Green & Gold fans should be in full throat Sunday afternoon, waving their G-Force towels in the air; I hope it scares the Purple Bejebus right out […]

The midpoint of the season is here and the Green Bay Packers are looking to go to 7-1 with a road win over the Chiefs this Sunday. Am I freakin’ dreaming here or what?
This has certainly been one of the most unbelievable Packer seasons that I can remember. Good things were in the offing at […]

October 23, 2007

The bye week is over (it just wasn’t a Sunday without the Green & Gold playing) and we can finally get back to watching and talking Green Bay football. The Packers travel to Denver for a Monday night game this week, and it should be a another big test for this young team.
At the start […]
