Bob Sanders Isn’t Going Anywhere

Aaron Nagler in Bob Sanders, Mike McCarthy

So sayeth Mike McCarthy in interviews with the guys from the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel.
This is the start. The start of McCarthy’s very own “Shoop Phase”. What’s that you ask? A “Shoop Phase” is where a head coach refuses to recognize the deficiencies of one of the coordinators on his staff, how that coordinator is holding the [...]

Railbird Gets It Right

Aaron Nagler in Ted Thompson

Since I’ve been known to point out when people get it wrong, I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out when they get it right, which Brian Carriveau certainly does with this post regarding the Packers off season plan.
Carriveau spends most of the post repudiating (correctly, I might add) Sporting News’ contention that the Packers [...]

Moss Talks About The Packers

Aaron Nagler in Ted Thompson

This is extremely illuminating.
If Randy Moss is to be believed, Ted Thompson made it abundantly clear when he was courting Moss this past off season that Donald Driver was to be the number one wide receiver on the Green Bay Packers if Moss ended up joining the team. Um, what? I understand talking about the [...]

And today, he quit.
No official word as to [...]

Quick Note For Mike McCarthy

Aaron Nagler in Go Pack Go, Mike McCarthy

Ahem. Linked without comment.
Tackle Forrest Gregg is 74, but he giggles over the phone when recalling how Lombardi would have the offensive line out in the coldest weather, trying to move a blocking sled that was frozen to the tundra. When they would fall to their knees in futility, Lombardi would bark, “You guys are [...]

Packers Pushing Out Favre?

Aaron Nagler in Brett Favre

The internal debate on Favre began late Sunday night and isn’t going to end any time soon, even if he decides to return for an 18th season. For perhaps the first time, there are advocates within saying it’s time to move on.
Thus does Bob McGinn drop a barely noticed bombshell (sorry, sub required) in the [...]

It MUST Be the Off Season…

Aaron Nagler in Packer Blogs, Ryan Grant, Ted Thompson

Look, I understand. Players want to maximize their value to a team, and they have a limited amount of time to make as much money as the can before they begin their inevitable decline. But Ryan Grant has started 12 games. 12. Not even a season. And people are already talking about extending his contract? [...]
