Normally I’m not one to revel in the misery and misfortunes of others, but I’ll make an exception when it comes to the Minnesota Vikings. Gus Frerotte, the quarterback of the future? How rich. That had me rolling in the aisle today.
I’m sure, though, that Norse Nation isn’t laughing at the sight of their longship […]

I was a little busy giving high fives and screaming my head off at the bar to notice, but Greg Bedard and the JS Packers Blog reports Brad Childress didn’t go out to midfield and shake hands with Mike McCarthy after the game last night. Now in his defense, maybe Mr. Childress had a […]

Still a little dazed and confused after last night, but what a good feeling after watching the Packers tough out a season-opening victory over the Vikings. Overall it was a sloppy performance with way too many penalties, but Aaron Rodgers was the model of efficiency, his receivers made plays for him, and Atari Bigby came […]

Before I get started here, let me send a shoutout to Peyton Manning and the rest of the Colts for that steaming pile you left on the floor of your new stadium last night. Way to go letting the Bears get off to a 1-0 start and ruining my office pool in one fell swoop. […]

Here’s one of those moments that makes you very happy the Green Bay Packers franchise is a publicly-owned non-profit corporation. Real estate developer Ed Roski Jr. is in the market for an NFL team to take up residence in a new stadium he is planning to build in City of Industry outside Los Angeles. According […]

Hat tip to fellow Packer fan and friend of the site MC for posting on Michael Silver’s latest column from Vikings training camp where they seem to be singly-focused on producing bulletin board material for the season opener in Green Bay.
Pat Williams says about Aaron Rodgers, “when we go down there it’ll be the kid’s […]

I can’t believe this: NFL commissioner Roger Goodell today handed down a verdict of “not guilty” against the Minnesota Vikings on the tampering charges leveled by the Packers a few weeks ago. Do they really expect us to swallow that line of BS? Lady Justice was not only blind in this case, she was doped […]

The Minnesota Vikings have been begging and pleading that state for years to build them a new stadium to replace the Humpy Dumpty Dome in Minneapolis, but those tight-fisted Minnesotans just won’t give them a penny. (Hundreds of millions so billionaire Carl Pohlad can have a new baseball stadium? Sure thing! New football stadium? Go […]

So Brett Favre pulls back from the brink of requesting reinstatement and now the Packers have accused Minnesota of tampering with their retired quarterback. This whole thing is starting to play out like a tense political thriller.
It did seem odd that this morning the Press-Gazette reported Favre and Bus Cook were ready to request reinstatement […]

Listening to the Packers game today on WTMJ there were a couple moments that made me burst out laughing at the expense of the Purple People Posse.
During the pre-game lead in, Wayne Larrivee was going on about the uniforms as he always does and saying how great it was to see two teams playing with […]
