A Third Round Pick and Chester Taylor

A Third Round Pick and Chester Taylor

a-third-round-pick-and-chester-taylor

That’s according to “a person we talked to”, the ‘we’ being Kevin Seifert of the NFC North blog over at ESPN.com, who has actually been doing excellent work this month. (But note to Kevin: Please retire the use of the royal ‘we’). Is it credible? Who cares anymore. At this point, I could see a [...]

Bribe Is the Tipping Point

Bribe Is the Tipping Point

Any chance the Packers had of swaying public sentiment to their side has been blown to smithereens. The bribe is the final straw. Fans will now grow angry and much more vocal in favor of Favre over the next few days, no doubt continuing to mobilize themselves and each other. If you though the Favre [...]

How Obsessed?

How Obsessed?

It has gotten to the point that we (and by we, I mean football fandom) are tracking the departures and arrivals at Hattiesburg Muni and Austen Straubel Airports. UPDATE: He’s on his way. Tweet

Garcia Hurt

Garcia Hurt

Tampa Bay Buccaneer starting quarterback Jeff Garcia was hurt and taken off the field on a cart this morning. And the phone in Ted Thompson’s office just rang… UPDATE: According to PewterReport.com, it is listed as a calf strain. Tweet

Murphy Fails Legacy Defining Test

Murphy Fails Legacy Defining Test

Hyperbole? I don’t think so. (I couldn’t agree more with Brats and Beer Guy’s Murphy To Do List – an instant B&B classic) 8 months into his tenure as President and CEO of the Green Bay Packers, Mark Murphy was given the most daunting challenge any NFL owner or CEO has faced in regards to [...]

Jackson Improving In Pass Pro

Jackson Improving In Pass Pro

Buried in a camp report from last nights practice is the following: The running backs finally got some real contact as the unit went through blitz pickup drills in the evening. Brandon Jackson was as standout, as he handled linebackers Danny Lansanah and Abdul Hodge. Encouraging. Not exactly like he’s going against Brian Urlacher, but [...]

It Has Come To This

It Has Come To This

The Packers tried to bribe Brett Favre to stay retired. I am beyond speechless. Tweet

What I Don't Get...

What I Don’t Get…

…about people like this (thanks Corey) is the following: Favre has made it abundantly clear, with his actions if not his words, that he wants to play for the Minnesota Vikings. THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS. HE WANTS TO PLAY FOR THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS. And still, these poor misguided souls continue to collect their signatures for petitions [...]

He\'s Not Lying

He\’s Not Lying

Approached after his morning workout at Oak Grove High School in Hattiesburg, MS this morning Favre replied to a reporters query with the following: I’m late for a 9 o’clock meeting and I’m not lying. Well it’s about time Brett… Tweet

Packers Shopping Rodgers?

Packers Shopping Rodgers?

What if, I mean just WHAT IF, Thompson’s been talking to teams about moving Rodgers and not Favre? I’m just sayin’… Tweet

If Favre Shows Up...

If Favre Shows Up…

… I wouldn’t be surprised if the Packers put him through untold ridiculousness in regards to his physical condition. It’s no secret that Favre did not employ the personal trainer this summer that he’s used the past three off seasons. That alone might give McCarthty all the ammo he needs to say “We’re concerned about [...]

Packers Make A Terrible Move

Packers Make A Terrible Move

Sending Mark Murphy down to Mississippi is just about the dumbest thing the Packers have done during the whole Brett Favre saga. Having earlier stated that he would not report to camp just to ‘stick it to them’ – that is now exactly what Favre is doing. What the Packers should do, and I recognize [...]

The Letter Is In

The Letter Is In

We knew it was coming, but it is now official. Favre’s request for reinstatement was faxed to the league today. Your move Ted. Tweet

I Feel The Power

I Feel The Power

When I was a senior in high school, I won a scholarship given out by a local choir. One of the members of that choir was Mel Knoke. Winning the scholarship meant that I got to attend a dinner (somewhat in my humble honor). At that dinner, I had the immense pleasure of sitting at [...]

McCarthy\'s Breaking Point

McCarthy\’s Breaking Point

You can tell the Favre saga has gotten to McCarthy. It must be hard for him, as he spent a lot more time with Favre over the last two years than anyone else in the organization. I had thought, once things started getting out of hand, that McCarthy would, at some point, try to reign [...]

Big Plays For Hawk?

Big Plays For Hawk?

Excellent post from Brian over at Railbird Central looking at the big plays made by 5th overall pick A.J. Hawk in practice and wondering why we never see them translate onto the field at gametime. It’s the type of post you read Railbird for, one that could only be written by someone with great eyes [...]

Why Thompson Is GM...and We\'re Not

Why Thompson Is GM…and We\’re Not

It’s posts like this that let you know how screwed up the Packers would be if some Joe-Fan got his way and became GM, even for a day. After singing their praises earlier this month, Tundra Vision has one of the most misguided posts up that I have ever read in the Packer Blogosphere. According [...]

It\'s Not Just Thompson

It\’s Not Just Thompson

Everyone, especially those in the national media, want to pitch the Favre situation as Thompson vs. Favre. This couldn’t be more wrong, as Thompson alluded to in his press conference yesterday: We don’t just make arbitrary decisions. We talk it over with all of our staff. We go through this over and over again, and [...]

Thompson On Grant

Thompson On Grant

As reported by Tom Pelissero over at PackersNews: “The Ryan Grant thing is, he is in a remarkably unique position year-wise. It’s a negotiation. It’s ongoing. We do not negotiate in the press. We don’t think that serves a purpose. We don’t necessarily (get) offended by the fact that some agents like to do that. [...]
