McCarthy Thinks We\’re Idiots

I like Mike. Really do.
But this is just insulting:
“I’ll tell you what, he has a knee injury,” McCarthy said. “If he wants to be more specific about his injury, you’re more than welcome to ask him. I don’t think it’s my place to (reveal) the specifics. That’s his place. If Vernand wants to share the [...]

Quote of the Day

Mark Tauscher when asked if the allegations against Michael Vick would hurt the popularity of the game-
“We have 1,700 players. You’re not going to have 1,700 priests,” Packers tackle Mark Tauscher said. “Well actually, that’s another bad example. . . . You’re not going to have 1,700 Good Samaritans out there.”

What Green Bay Fans Don\’t Seem To Understand…

…is that Thompson is building this team in his own image. He wants defense, defense and more defense. Remember that 9-7 win against the Vikings last year? That’s Thompson’s dream game. If he could find a way, every game would look like that.
Ok, I jest. Sort of.
Nothing we’ve seen from Thompson suggests that he is [...]

Big Scare

If Driver can’t go, do we just call off the season? Or do we simply wait for the annual ‘Ferguson Looks To Seize Starting Role’ fluff piece before he gets hurt? Or do we look forward to Brett Favre’s possibly last season filled with Wayne Larrivee calls that sound something like “Favre drops back, can’t [...]

Safety In Numbers

The biggest concern on the defensive side of the ball heading into training camp is the strong safety position. As Pete Dougherty notes, this has been the case for the last five years.
Marquand Manuel was, to be charitable, awful at the beginning of last season. From the very first game, where he made an almost [...]

Ten Down, One To Go…

I haven’t spent much time detailing each and every draft pick that signs with the team, but with the news that third round pick James Jones has signed a four year contract with the team, I thought it was a good time to praise the work of Andrew Brandt.
The man is a machine and has [...]

Put Up or Shut Up Time For Thompson

Ted Thompson took some time at the annual shareholders meeting yesterday to clear the air about his approach as General Manager and the lack of support he’s received from Packer Nation while following said approach.
Look, the man could re-write all five acts of Hamlet with current players substituted for the main characters (one imagines, say, [...]

Robinson Most Likely Done

If this report is true, all those Packer fans thinking that reciever Koren Robinson was going to add some quality depth to the recieving corps in October can kiss the idea goodbye.
What. An. Idiot. (if true…)

Reinfeldt On the Short-List

According to Eric Edholm over at Pro Football Weekly, former Packer capologist and current Titan General Manager Mike Reinfeldt is on Bob Harlan’s short list to take over for Harlan when he is finally able to retire.
This makes sense and would be a major upgrade over Jones. The question will be Reinfeldt’s desire to run [...]
