Football Outsiders: Packers Are Rebuilding
Football Outsiders’ Bill Barnwell contends that the Packers are in the midst of a hidden rebuilding period.
‘Cold Hard Football Facts’ Wrong About Jared Allen
Kerry Byrne of Cold Hard Football Facts has gone off the deep end with his proclamation that Jared Allen is the “Most Valuable Non-Quarterback” in the NFL.
On Mike Florio and Glass Houses
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk’s latest crusade against ‘conflicts of interest’ doesn’t quite pass the smell test.
What Stat Geeks Don’t Get
As stat geeks start to take over football commentary on the web, Aaron asks for a bit of reflection from the Stat-obsessed fandom that seems to think that numbers are always the answer.
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 [...]
Simply A Must Read
Yes, I’m on vacation, but I’m still reading. Do yourself a favor and read this post over at Smart Football. Perfect Sunday morning reading and I endorse every single word. Cheers. Tweet
Raji and Matthews Could Miss A Week?
Interesting post from Tom over at Residual Prolixity (which I arrived at via the indispensable Smart Football) where he riffs on this post from Jack Bechta of the National Football Post. First, from Bechta: There is also a growing concern and frustration among general managers about one large agency that’s working at its own pace [...]
NFL Offense: Boring?
That’s Chris Brown’s summation in what can only be described as an epic post over at Smart Football. Just an amazing read. Enjoy. Tweet
Florio Should Keep Banging His Drum
Lord knows I’ve called out Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk on more than one occasion for being full of it. (My favorite time being about five years ago when he posted that Brett Favre had called a Wednesday morning press conference in which he would supposedly be announcing that he would be retiring from [...]
It Just Keeps Getting Better And Better…
…for Cheesehead Nation. Fast turnaround this week here at Cheesehead TV, Railbird Central and Packers Lounge as our collective will be bringing you our weekly blogcast on OTA’s the evening of Wed. June 10th, the same day that practice is available to fans and the media. We’ll have two extremely special guests on this weeks [...]
PFT: Where\’s The Love?
Aaron Wilson over at Pro Football Talk has linked to our video of Donald Driver – and not mentioned Cheesehead TV. I mean, seriously, WTF? This from a site that goes on and on about not getting credit for stories that it ‘breaks’? Un. Real. Tweet
For My Fellow Geeks
In honor of the Watchmen movie opening today, I’m linking to this brilliant ‘Walkthrough’ column from Mike Tanier over at Football Outsiders. If you’re not familiar with Watchmen, it will most likely do nothing but cause confusion. And no, it’s not specifically Packer related, but it is football writing mixed with geekdom par excellence. Enjoy. [...]
The Other 31
Tired of free agency being an annual tradition that amounts to you wasting away in front of your computer pining for free agency news while you watch every other team in the league sign the guys you wanted? As a die-hard fan of the Green Bay Packers who follows every Blog post, every Twitter, every [...]
Does Mike Lombardi Know Something?
Catching up on some general NFL reading, I came across this bit from Mike Lombardi’s Diner Morning News from Monday morning regarding the Carolina Panthers and Julius Peppers: The Panthers cannot let him go, and they must franchise him to trade him if they don’t want to pay the going rate. They must protect their asset. They [...]
Lombardi On McCarthy
Good stuff here from Mike Lombardi regarding McCarthy’s defensive coordinator search: First, McCarthy decided he wanted to be a 3-4 team, and he started out looking for the right 3-4 man to run his defense. Right or wrong, McCarthy has a plan and knows what he wants; for that fundamental belief, he deserves credit. He [...]
Everyone But Moss?
That’s what it says here. Wow. When McCarthy starts over, he starts OVER. UPDATE: They fired Rock as well! Wow. Just. Wow. I have to say, that smacks of over-reaction. Yes, the Packers had a slew of injuries this year – but the Strength and Conditioning coach is at fault? When McCarthy brought Rock in, [...]
Smart Football
I was working hard to come up with some tangential connection to the Packers offensive line and this post about linemen splits by Chris Brown of the amazing blog Smart Football, but I failed miserably. But really, you should just read it, and indeed all his posts, because it is some of the best writting [...]
Ten Games
That’s how many real games it will take to evaluate Rodgers, according to Mike Lombardi over at the National Football Post. Lombardi makes a great observation in response to a quote in the Journal Sentinel from Reggie McKenzie regarding Rodgers’ mechanics in the pocket: All this talk about feet, backpedal, and arm, are meaningless if [...]
Exactly
Mike Lombardi voices something I said to a friend on the phone yesterday, and something that I haven’t seen mentioned, even in a cursory fashion. Don’t read too much into the Packers huge loss to the 49ers. They had a short week and a long trip. That is a bad combination in the preseason. Could [...]
Brandt On Favre
Andrew Brandt, ex-Packer capologist extraordinaire, has teamed up with Mike Lombardi, the odd man out in the Al Davis ‘Can We Get the First Overall Pick Every Year?’ shuffle, and created the National Football Post, a new football site/blog with lots of good insight and analysis. (Lombardi’s Diner Report and Tavern Talk columns are worth [...]
Brilliant
Awful Announcing has, simply put, one of the funniest posts on anything that I have read in a long, long time. The fact that it has tangential connection to Brett Favre means that I feel free to post about it. Enjoy. Tweet

A great feature over at Football Outsiders is The Week In Quotes, where FO complies a list of noteworthy quotes culled from press conferences and interviews throughout the NFL. Well, this week we are treated to ‘The Offseason In Quotes’ and of course the first half is dedicated to good ol’ number 4. Enjoy. Tweet
