History Should Not Be Kind To Favre
Obviously, the part of me that hates Brad Childress felt like a kid on Christmas last night. The Packer fan in me that hates the Vikings was over-the-moon with joy. But as a fan that respects the game of football and the way Brett Favre plays it, I felt, and still feel, a bit numb. [...]
Favre-Face Drinking Game
Keep refreshing this post and I’ll keep tabs of the official ‘We Just Saw The Favre-Face’ statistics. Please feel free to chime in via the comments section. Game. On. 5:56 remaining in the 2nd Quarter. 0:03 remaining in the 2nd Quarter. 11:08 remaining in the 3rd Quarter. 6:30 remaining in the 3rd Quarter. 13:28 remaining [...]
Favreageddon: The Aftermath
There’s a lot of football left to be played in 2009. The sad thing is that it doesn’t seem to matter. Yes, it would seem that Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy have ceded 2009 as a transition year for the defense and that Mike McCarthy is unable to make any kind of adjustments to his [...]
Video: Welcome Home Brett
This one was sent to us by creator Patrick Ryan. Welcome back Brett. I hope you leave Lambeau the same way you left it the last time you were here, as a loser. Tweet
Linkageddon!
Insane day here at work and I haven’t had a chance to post anything, but did read quite a little bit. Let’s take a stroll around the blogosphere, shall we? The absolutle must-read of the day is this fantastic Thompson profile piece from Elizabeth Merrill of ESPN.com Bedard pointed out that Lori Nickel wrote her [...]
How Will Capers Pressure Favre?
We spoke about this piece from Tom Silverstein on the show last night. Jason Wilde had pretty much the same take I had – why would Capers be trumpeting his intentions? Is he trying to throw out a smoke screen? Is he being honest? (and, consequentially, insane?) Look, I don’t hold any illusions that Capers is [...]
Journal Sentinel = Epic Fail
This is so wrong headed, so misbegotten, so OFFENSIVE, I have trouble catching my breath to find the words necessary to condemn it. But let me try. It seems the Sports Editor over at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, one Garry D. Howard, has taken it upon himself to lecture Packers fans on how they should [...]

The Mayor, Favre…and CHTV?
Yes, the Mayor of Green Bay is soliciting suggestions on how the city should welcome back Brett Favre on November 1st. And yes, the Associated Press has cited one of our suggestions from back in August. Feel free to leave your own suggestions in the comments below. Tweet
The Vikings Held Serve
Nothing more, nothing less. Lost amongst the gloom and doom this morning (and trust me, I’m am very much part of the doom brigade as I reflect on last nights debacle) is the fact that the Packers have a lot of football left to play. All that happened last night was the Vikings winning a game they [...]
Favre Dismantles Capers
As one of the first and loudest Dom Capers cheerleaders, it pains me to say it, but last night was embarrassing. All through minicamps and OTAs, through training camp and preseason, we heard about this defense’s ability to bring anyone from anywhere to create pressure. Last night, Capers kept bringing the same guys from the [...]
CHTV In The NYT
In another sign that newspapers are doomed, the New York Times Pro Football Blog, The Fifth Down, has seen fit to publish my thoughts on Brett Favre heading into tonights game. Faithful readers of the blog will recognize some of it, some of it is new – and I’m sure most of it will be [...]
Favre Calls Rodgers A Liar
Basically. Last summer during the Favre drama, Aaron Rodgers was asked if he had spoken with Brett or if he had tried to contact his old teammate. Rodgers indicated that he had reached out to Brett a couple of times. When asked this afternoon why he hadn’t reached out to Rodgers, Favre replied: For what? [...]
Definitely A Night For The Mute Button
Jason Wilde over at his blog at ESPNMilwaukee.com posits the following: Am I the only one wondering whether Jon Gruden will be able to objectively call Monday night’s game between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings at the Metrodome? No Jason, you most certainly are not. And really, you really only need to look [...]
I Don’t Hate Favre, I Hate Childress.
So here we are, the week we’ve been dreading/looking forward to since that fateful day Favre flew to Minneapolis and signed his name on the dotted line and became a member of the Minnesota Vikings. And I have to be honest, I don’t feel the hate for Favre. I really don’t. Oh sure, it will [...]
