August 22, 2008 posted under: Blogs, Cheesehead TV, Packers Cheesehead TV is reporting today that WSAW-TV in Wausau is not carrying tonight’s Packers game, choosing instead to broadcast the Cowboys game against Houston. Let me repeat that: A TV station … in Wisconsin … is not showing a Packers game. These are truly troubled times […]
July 30, 2006 It sounds like newly-released safety Mark Roman might be headed for San Francisco. Niners site 49ersnews.com reports that SF head coach Mike Nolan appears interested in signing the disgruntled former Packer, but they’re still doing their “homework” as negotiations take place. I imagine that’s subtle code for “How little can we pay […]
November 15, 2007 At the beginning of the season, Ted Thompson decided to keep just two quarterbacks on the roster, backup Aaron Rodgers and starter Brett Favre. Now that it is Week 11, TT decided to get around to filling that hole. The Packers invited six unsigned players to an open tryout this week, including […]
July 22, 2008 posted under: Beer, Blogs Not that this is terribly shocking coming out of Milwaukee and all, but was anyone else aware the Journal Sentinel now has a blog all about beer? Intern Lyssa Beyer has a blog on the JS site called A Beer A Day — though it looks like she’s […]
July 30, 2008 posted under: Brett Favre, Mark Murphy, retirement Buried in an article today from Tom Silverstein and Greg Bedard is this potentially potent observation: Of concern to the Packers would be an injury to Favre during training camp that would sideline him for the season, thereby leaving the Packers liable for his $12 […]
May 20, 2008 posted under: CBA, Packers Now that the NFL owners have gone and opted out of the final two years of their collective bargaining agreement with the players’ union, I’m feeling a little like Charlton Heston at the end of Planet of the Apes looking up at the ruin of the Statue of […]
September 2, 2008 posted under: roster moves, Ted Thompson Hopefully this is not an apt Wisconsin metaphor for our defensive line Well, it looks like we made it through one day without some head-scratching personnel move — Jay Feely in for Mason Crosby, anyone? — but I’m a little disappointed, puzzled, and concerned there wasn’t […]
August 16, 2008 posted under: Packers, web sites The Packers official web site unveiled a new look last night, and I can’t say I’m too big of a fan. Most of the redesign work focused on the top of the page, replacing the football-brown “PACKERS.com” banner image with a navigation menu surrounding a simple green […]
August 31, 2007 I love days were I get in three posts, and what better way to end it than with something about the Wisconsin Badgers? UW opens its 2007 campaign tomorrow at Camp Randall against Washington State and I feel pretty confident they’ll get off to a very good start. The Badgers are looking […]
August 11, 2008 posted under: Packers, Pre-game, Pre-season 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 […]
September 19, 2008 posted under: Blogs, Cheese & Packers, Packer Palace For all you clock watchers working for the weekend, here’s a couple fun links to waste some time at the office this fine Friday: Packer Palace has a little ditty about Tony and Jessica and what the Packers are going to do to the […]

August 29, 2008 posted under: Packers, Post-game, Pre-season So close yet so far. The Packers lost to the Titans 23-21 in their pre-season finale, but then again Green Bay is 2-5 in final exhibition action against Tennessee so the final score matters very little. What does matter is how the players played, who will make […]
August 17, 2008 posted under: Packers, Post-game, Pre-season Oh sweet Jebus, no! Remember how happy we all were Monday night when the Packers looked halfway decent in their pre-season debut? Well, this is how it feels when they look nowhere even close to decent. Green Bay didn’t just get beat by San Francisco, they were […]
