Great Minds, Al, Great Minds…
Love this from Al Harris, as reported by Rob Demovsky in the Green Bay Press Gazette. “Just for your knowledge, when you ask these types of questions, zone is much easier to play than man. That’s the way it is. That’s why they call it man and zone.” When asked if he isn’t suited to [...]

Cheesehead Nation
As you have no doubt heard by now, in a few hours we’ll be launching the first installment of what will no doubt become a mainstay in Green Bay Packer fan tradition tonight at 8pm edt, 7pm cst with our first ever Live Broadcast, titled Cheesehead Nation: Friday Night Live!. Produced in concert with our [...]
Peppers For Kampman?
Brian over at Railbird overheard something juicy on the radio this morning and Tweeted the following: Peppers unhappy with 4-3 in Carolina, Kampman unhappy in 3-4. Trade possible? The Panthers should be so lucky. Look, as much as I’ve seemingly come out against Kampman, he is leagues better as a football player and teammate than [...]
A New Season Dawns…
A new association is awakened. It’s called Cheesehead Nation. It’s not a club. You don’t have to be a member. If you are reading this post right now you most likely already are. It’s about the most die-hard Green Bay Packer fans in the World. They know all the sites, they know all the sounds, [...]
Don\’t Do It Double D!
Too late. I love Donald Driver. You love Donald Driver. We all love Donald Driver. But Driver wanting the Packers to rework his deal yet again, after Thompson has redone it twice in the last three years, is absurd. I realize it’s May. I realize this will all most likely be forgotten by the time [...]
Thompson Does Right By Tramon & The Packers
The one year contract signed by Tramon Williams is the quintessential win-win. Williams is given a sizable raise over the absolute minimum he was set to make and the Packers get another year to see if Williams can improve his overall consistency from scrimmage, not to mention the fact the team gets to see how [...]
Much Ado About the Wrong Guy
Kampman still won’t talk. First there was this Tweet from Bedard: Aaron Kampman refused to talk again about his switch to OLB. Packers even urged him to talk. There’s a problem there. Big time. Which was followed up by a lengthy blog post. Money quote: The Packers’ seven-year veteran again declined to speak to the [...]
Putting Up Points
Let’s straighten out something that I keep seeing thrown around a lot. In this piece from the USA Today (hat tip: Pelissero’s Twitter) authors Jeff Zillgitt and Nate Davis posit the following: The offense, led by Favre’s successor, Aaron Rodgers, put up points — 26.2 a game, fifth best in the league. Averaging just under [...]
Condolences To Nick Collins
Nick Collins’ father passed away on May 16th after losing his battle with cancer. He was 56. Corey and I offer our sincere condolences to Collins and his family. Tweet
Secret Weapon
Does anyone remember this? According to Poston, Woodson picked the Packers because head coach Mike McCarthy agreed to let him play on offense as well as play cornerback. I smell a Wildcat-type formation featuring Woodson with a throwback to Rodgers who then lofts a bomb to a streaking Jennings… Tweet
Is Clifton \’That Guy\’?
You would think that I was linking to this piece on Favre and retirement by A Few Seconds of Panic author Stefan Fatsis because of Favre. And you would be wrong. No, I link to bring up something Fatsis writes about regarding players,until recently like the current starting left tackle for the Green Bay Packers, who [...]
The Heavy Lifting
I’ve been rereading a lot of the coverage from around the time of the announced switch to the 3-4 and I’ve been reminded of a nagging question I had at the time that has still not been answered. Who, exactly, does McCarthy expect to do the heavy lifting on defense? Here’s how Bob McGinn reported [...]
Dom Capers\’ Magic Front
Any regular reader of this site has no doubt already read Greg Bedard’s excellent overview of the 3-4 defense and the Packers’ first foray into it. Greg does a great job of setting up each position and comparing what they were asked to do in Sanders’ old scheme vs. what they will be asked to do [...]
Its All Jim Rome\’s Fault The Media Sucks
Tundra Vision goes for the media jugular. Excellent Tuesday morning read. It’s fun to watch this video before you read it. Of course we really appreciate this: If you’re looking for today’s news with some biting commentary or a rimshot, check out the boys at CheeseheadTV, who are just as insightful (and occasionally snarky) as [...]
Friday Night LIVE
This Friday May 29th, Railbird Central, Packers Lounge and Cheesehead TV are bringing you an event without precedent. 7pm-9pm Central | 8pm-10pm EST. I am so excited I made this video to mark the occasion. We will be sending a reminder e-mail to anyone on our mailing list with all the details. Sign up for [...]
Have A Great Holiday Weekend
I’ll be ‘out of pocket’ (love that phrase) for the balance of the weekend, but rest assured Packer fans, I’ll be back in full force in a couple days with a look at OTAs, some thoughts on the new defense and an announcement of what is turning out to be something pretty big and pretty [...]
PackerChatters Responds
From Larry Garot of PackerChatters, in response to my post: After reading the above today I am compelled to reply; First of all PackerChatters.com IS the #1 Green Bay Packers fan website according to the latest Alexa rankings and actually the #3 overall Packers site behind only the team site for the Packers, Packers.com, and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal. [...]
PackerChatters: The Not-So-New Awful
I’ve remained silent for long enough. Many of you are aware of a site called PackerChatters, who like to call themselves “The #1 Green Bay Packers Fan Site”. Nothing could be further from the truth. For me, it started with the snooze-fest they call a podcast, Packers Therapy. Long time listeners of Packer Transplants know [...]
My Final Word Until My Next One
Well Hellllloooo Sunshine! Bedard is actually pretty fair in his take on our back and forth yesterday in his Packers Daily Briefing today. I will point out three things. First, Greg writes: What you have to understand about Nagler is he’s basically pushed all his chips to the center of the table on the 3-4 defense. [...]
Of Weakness And Twitter Battles
All seemed quiet here at Cheesehead TV today, what with a congratulatory post residing atop the blog for the balance of the morning and early afternoon, an idle passerby must have thought “Aaron is no doubt taking a break from the weary work of bringing his unique brand of Packers analysis to Packer fans everywhere and taking [...]
Tundra Vision Nails It. Again.
This is just one of the finest posts you’ll ever read in the Packer Blogosphere. Kudos to C.D. Tweet
