Amazing
I usually reserve comment until Tuesday, but I simply can’t contain the desire to write about the game yesterday, or this Packers team, which seems on the verge of becoming a very, very good football team.
I can hear you now. “On the verge? Did you see the game!!???”
Yes, they beat a ’supposedly’ superior team, in [...]

So Much For \”Rest and Recovery\”
Head Coach Mike McCarthy was hailed during training camp for his innovative schedule, giving his players extra time off, including three extra full days off on consecutive Wednesdays. McCarthy’s thinking was that players would have more time to ‘rest’ and to ‘recover’ from nagging injuries. This was supposed to lead to fresher players and eliminate [...]
John Clayton Is Not A Believer
The problem with winning a few games is that the national media starts to take notice and pretend like they know what the hell they are talking about in regards to your favorite team. Such is the case this week and ESPN’s John Clayton who gives us the following pearls of wisdom:
Settle down, Green Bay [...]
Could We See Harrell This Week?
In light of the many injuries along the defensive line, there’s a very strong possibility we could see Justin Harrell make his professional debut against the Chargers this weekend.

Remember the hand-wringing? The consternation? The cries of “how-the-hell-could-Thompson-not-pick-an-offensive-player-to-help-Favre?”
Now think of this. Harrell might not make the field this week, or indeed all season (though that’s [...]
The \”Angry Chargers\” Myth
I see a lot of chatter on the Internet about this weeks upcoming game against the Chargers and how the Packers are facing them at the “worst possible time” and that the Chargers will be “angry” after their blow-out loss to the Patriots on national TV. You know what I say to that?

In Praise of Brett Favre
You don’t need me to tell you, of course. But that was vintage Favre on Sunday.
I’m sure everyone is thrilled in Packerland that Brett is throwing touchdowns and breaking records, but my greatest joy on Sunday afternoon was watching Brett manage the offense and make call after call against the Giants defense. Once McCarthy put [...]
