Packers To Open Against Vikings
Bring it on. The Aaron Rodgers era will officially kick off on Monday, September 8th, at 7PM EST against the hated Minnesota Vikings on the hallowed ground of Lambeau Field. Here’s hoping that McCarthy has the squad better prepared than Sherman did in 2003 when the Pack opened a newly renovated Lambeau with a horrible [...]
Packers Eyeing Routt
Packer Update has a good tid-bit in their latest “Here’s What We’re Hearing” feature. It seems the Packers, along with several other teams, are keeping their eye on Stanford Routt, the young cornerback that is reportedly on the trading block with the Oakland Raiders. He’s exactly the type of player the Packers need to come [...]
New Packer toys for september.
Not toys. Props. I’m talking timelapse. Cheese and Packers style. So I am perusing Packer World and I notice the Out of Bounds blog tab has a headline that reads “The first Aaron Rodgers action figure“. What is cooler than my very own full team set of players? The frickin Brett Favre action figure. Dang. [...]
Greatest Packer Plays of 2007
One of the many great benefits of having Packer World up and running is being able to monitor news basically as it happens. So, I see that there is a new article on packers.com. It’s my favorite kind. Highlight videos. Last season’s 5 best by packers.com polling data. A must see. “Favorite Fives” of 2007: [...]
Welcome To \’Packer World\’
So my internet has been out for the last few days (as you may have surmised) but I’m back online today. And wow. Has Corey been busy. Ladies and Gentleman, Cheesehead TV (and really, I mean Corey Behnke) gives you PACKER WORLD. If you like reading about the Packers on the Internet (and really, who [...]
Jarrett Bush: The Blog
How did I miss this? (Thanks Corey…) What a pure, unfiltered source of hilarity, the (surely unintentional) comedy stylings of Jarrett Bush, cornerback for the Green Bay Packers. So today, Bush treats us to the following: So the media is mixing up some of the distractions of saying that us cornerbacks…Me, Tramon Williams, and Will [...]
Here We Go Again…
So today we hear that Ryan Grant won’t report to training camp without a new deal. And wouldn’t you know it, it’s Pete Dougherty ‘breaking’ the news again via discussions with Grant’s agent. (I wrote about this previously.) This is how the game is played. Splash some ink, get some headlines, sway public opinion. And [...]
Chillar A Packer
Right after I post about how smart Ted Thompson is for not signing any free agents – he signs a free agent. Chillar is nice competition for Poppinga, but my gut feeling is Poppinga will beat him out in training camp. Tweet
Rich Gosselin Nails It
In a column entitled Smart NFL Teams Spend Little In Free Agency, Dallas Morning News and nationally renowned NFL journalist Rich Gosselin began with the following: I love what the Green Bay Packers have done thus far in free agency. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And it only gets better from there. It’s nice to see smart [...]
Number Four Forever
The AP is reporting that the Packers will retire Brett Favre’s number for the upcoming season. duhh. First it was his #10 jersey at North Central High School. Then his #4 at Southern Mississippi. I would say no one wearing your number at your high school and college is pretty good. Sharing that honor forever [...]
Gray? Sure. Frerotte? Good God No.
It’s only a visit, but here’s hoping the Packers do nothing more than kick the tires on Gus Frerotte. The difference between adding Quinn Gray and adding Gus Frerotte to the roster are huge. Sure, Frerotte is a true veteran, who has seen just about all there is to see. No doubt he could come [...]
Can Rodgers Break the Tedford Curse?
Great piece by Matt Sohn over at Pro Football Weekly regarding Aaron Rodgers and his connection to Jeff Tedford, the coach who made college stars of such NFL busts as Akili Smith and Kyle Boller, to name just two. I think Rodgers will shock people in September. He doesn’t need to play like Favre, he [...]
Quinn Gray Good Fit For the Packers?
The Packers are visiting with Quinn Gray, formerly of the Jacksonville Jaguars, today at Packer Headquarters. I’ll admit to being rather underwhelmed with what little I saw of Gray last season, which included his stint against the Pack in pre-season and a few snaps here and there when he filled in for David Garrard when [...]

Watching Brett Favre\’s Press Conference
It’s otherworldly watching him announce his retirement. I’m tearing up at my desk. Tweet
Jason Taylor Trade Still In the Works?
Buried over at Pro Football Weekly’s latest ‘The Way We Hear It’, is the contention from one Dolphin ‘team insider’ that Bill Parcell’s recent declaration that there was zero truth to the rumors that Taylor would be traded this off season is a complete fabrication. It’s interesting to note that they mention that Taylor might [...]
