Are The Packers…Boring?

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. [...]

The Bet
For those of you not on Twitter or who missed it after the game yesterday, a recap. It all started with: Playing with Yahoo!’s playoff scenario generator, if everything goes according to plan today including Minn win… To which I responded: MIN isn’t going to win. Which prompted the following back and forth: GB: …There [...]
Cheesehead TV Matchup: Week 8 Offense
Get Grant Going The temptation for Mike McCarthy going into Sunday’s game against the Vikings will be to throw the ball around the yard. His offense had major success working downfield last game against Minnesota’s suspect safeties and the temptation will be even greater this week if Antonie Winfield does not suit up. However, McCarthy [...]
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 [...]

As always, be sure to check out Holly’s excellent work over at The Other 31 as she takes her weekly look at all that is being written and said about the Packers opposition leading up to the weekend. Should seem like a little slice of home for all the misguided friendly Viking fans who have [...]
Peterson Will Get His Yards
While it’s true that there’s little to no use in fretting about Adrian Peterson this Sunday, (he’s going to get his yards) I’m not sure I completely buy this from Greg C. over at the Lounge. Money quote: When you play the Vikings now, you must pick your poison. And given a choice between a [...]
Remember That Scene…
…in Ghostbusters, where Venkman (Bill Murray) asks Egon (Harold Ramis) “What have you got?” as they are faced with their impending doom in the form of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man? Do you remember Egon’s response? Sorry, Venkman. I’m terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought. Well, that’s me today. Go Pack Go. Tweet

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 [...]

For Your Consideration
The below was forwarded to me from a friend of a friend, etc. I love it and have humbly submited to Jeff Blumb and the Green Bay Packers. On November 1st I say: Import the Norwich (Ct) Free Academy marching band for a half-time show. Norwich, Ct is the birthplace of Benedict Arnold. Encourage all [...]
Brett Favre Is A Minnesota Viking
Ten, even five years ago, those words would have been devastating to me. Now? They’re a punchline. A few months ago, when we began our live broadcasts during OTAs and Mini-Camps, I was accused of going all ‘CSPAN’ because I dared to put Favre and his career in the context of the real world. I [...]
A Word From Andrew In Atlanta
For those of you who may not know, long time reader, and one of Cheesehead TV’s biggest fans, Andrew In Atlanta has done an amazing job holding his tongue throughout the entire cycle of Favre drama. I promised him a post if it ever became official. Now that the deed has been done, I yield [...]
Santa Claus Is A Nazi
Or he may as well be. I just watched Brett Favre taking snaps with a Minnesota Viking helmet on and I definitely threw up in my mouth a little bit. A lot of you have commented, emailed or Twittered that you are waiting on my ‘Brett Favre Is Officially A Viking’ post – all I [...]
Vikings Implosion Imminent
Is it a coincidence that one of the worst local sports media markets (evidence) in this country is also the home of the worst team in the NFL? I agree wholeheartedly with this quote from Matt Thomas of KFTP Talkradio. The video was made before Favre decided to stay retired. Here’s a priceless common sense [...]
