Jason Taylor…A Packer?
Don’t you just love the first day of free-agency? I’ve read more ridiculousness in the last three hours than I had the last three months. My favorite rumor making the rounds between Packer fans is that the Packers and Dolphins are working on a deal to send Jason Taylor to the Packers, supposedly for the [...]
Corey Williams To Be Traded To Cleveland
No word on what the terms are yet, but as predicted on this here site, Corey Williams will be traded. The Packers and the Cleveland Browns will make the deal shortly after midnight tonight. This is a good move on Thompson’s part, with the chance to be a great move, dependent on what the Packers [...]
Favre To Retire?
This page was up on Packers.com for a bit today, before being locked again by one of the Packers web staff. Now, it could be the Packers are just preparing for all eventualities. Or, it could be that Favre is done. Stay tuned… UPDATE: These aren’t the droids you’re looking for. Corey: Here is the [...]

Titletown Awards: Packer Pro Media Source
Green Bay Packer fans don’t know how lucky they are when it comes to the people who cover their favorite team. No. Seriously. It always astounds me when I hear or read someone rip on any one of our three nominees. Having lived in Chicago, Winston-Salem, and New York, and having been subjected to what [...]
Reasons for Brett to come back.
Call me sentimental, I don’t care. I didn’t make this video but I like it. Enjoy it while you can. Our best chance for a Superbowl Title in over a decade rests with Brett and his decision. I know Rodgers has a chance as well. But let’s be real. For my part, I hope you [...]

Pioneers, the web 2.0 crowd, Packer fans on the internet. What a combination. Mix those up and you have our nominees.

And the nominees are: Packer Palace It all started with the animations. [...]
Crumpler Makes Sense
With the release of Bubba Franks, (which was the right move) the Packers are in the market for a tight end, if not two. According to the Atlanta Journal Constitution, (Hat tip: Railbird) Alge Crumpler, recently released by the Falcons, will be meeting with a plethora of teams this weekend in Indianapolis at the Combine, [...]
I Am Soooooo Over This…
This morning at the Combine in Indianapolis, when asked about reports that Favre was upset that Ted Thompson had not phoned him or tried to reach him since the end of the season, Thompson said, “I just called to make sure he was doing fine, make sure he and I were OK. And we are.”As [...]
Cornerback Is Packers\’ #1 Off-Season Need
They need a guard. And a defensive end. Not to mention a tight end and a linebacker. But the Green Bay Packers need nothing more than a infusion on talent at the position of cornerback. Not safety, cornerback. Take a look at this excellent research compiled by the guys over at Footballoutsiders. (For an explanation [...]
Precursor To A Trade…?
With the Packers placing the franchise tag on Corey Williams, the watch is on until draft weekend to see if Thompson tries to get something for Williams in trade or if the Packers can sign him to a long term deal. Regular readers know my thoughts. I really hope the Packers can get something for [...]
Who is the Greatest Cheesehead 2008?
Greatest Cheesehead 2008. Man that has a nice ring to it. The nominees are: Packer Bikini Girls photo above: (from left) Jen, Liz and Ashley Who are the Bikini Girls? (Girls- you need a website to link to) Ok – I know it’s redundant. Start with a host of Packer bloggers writing about them, from [...]
Platoon (Good Movie, Bad Strategy)
Our friend Brian over at Railbird Central makes an unexpected argument today, calling for a platoon system at the quarterback position should Favre come back, thereby allowing Aaron Rodgers a series or two (in the first half only) to gain valuable regular season experience. Allow me to explain why this will never happen. Basically, Brett [...]
Packer Update: Welcome To the Party
I genuinely like Packer Update. It’s well written and they seemingly have some actual connections or friends with connections inside the Packer organization, which gives them some great fodder for their not-to-be-missed-by-any-Packer-fan “Shhh…Here’s What We’re Hearing” feature. (Though, to be honest, it’s pretty clear they just throw some stuff to the wall and see what [...]
Best Packer Fan Video Clips 2008
3 of the Best Packer Fan videos from last year in no particular order. The first (below) is infantile, boorish and really funny. I really like it. The original had over 52,000 views before it was taken down by alextheis, a longer version has been up the same amount of time (14,104 views as of [...]
Here Comes The Scouting Combine… (Yawn)
Billy Wellner over at the Pro Football Weekly Draft Blog has written a post that perfectly captures my complete disdain for the Scouting Combine. Enjoy. Tweet
All Corey Williams, All the Time
Enough. The subject of Corey Williams and his chances of staying with the the Packers next season is on everyone’s mind and I’ve had just about as much as I can handle. It’s simple really. There is no way that Williams will be a Packer next year. Thompson may tag him, but if he does, [...]
Best Blog Nominees: A Closer Look

Cheesehead TV Presents…
…the First Annual Titletown Awards. Basically, when we started this website, we were extremely naive about how much work it would be, how much people would come to expect of us, and surprisingly, how much quality competition we would have. In fact, we were so impressed with the competition, that we decided we’d start an [...]

Why Statistics Are For Losers
KC Joyner over at ESPN thinks that Donald Driver is overrated, due to “metrics and statistics”. Which is why, as Lombardi said, statistics are for losers. Joyner is a smart guy. He does some incredibly nuanced research on the game of football. He came to prominence by writting and publishing a book of his research [...]
