Man Jailed for Taping Packers Jersey to Son

Posted by Dan Zinski · Published: January 17, 2008 · Comments (1)

I've heard of duct-taping geeks to goalposts, but taping a Packer jersey to your son? That's what some Wisconsin doofus did, and he got thrown in jail for it. The idiot, Mathew Kowald of Pardeeville, claims he was only messing around when he restrained his 7-year-old son, then used adhesives... [Full Story]

Favre Leaning Toward Returning, But Still Won't Say For Sure

Posted by Dan Zinski · Published: January 10, 2008

Brett Favre could spare us another off-season of "will he return or won't he" talk, but instead he's elected to play coy again. Although this time his coyness leans a little more toward a definitive answer than last year when he left the issue completely up in the air (and... [Full Story]

Favre Breaks Pass Yards Record

Posted by Dan Zinski · Published: December 16, 2007

Brett Favre has again knocked Dan Marino from the record books, breaking the former Dolphin's NFL-best career mark of 61,361 passing yards. Earlier this year Favre broke Marino's career passing TD mark by notching his 421st against the Vikings. If Favre were to somehow win his second career championship this... [Full Story]

Favre Injured But Will Not Miss a Game

Posted by Dan Zinski · Published: November 30, 2007

Seems like Brett Favre gets himself banged up every game, but somehow always manages to avoid the kind of major injury that would end his long consecutive games streak. Such is the case again after Favre injured his elbow and shoulder in last night's loss to the Cowboys. Packer coach... [Full Story]

Green Bay at Dallas, Instant Classic?

Posted by Danny Strickland · Published: November 27, 2007 · Comments (5)

...Or merely a passing of the torch? This is being billed as a classic battle of quarterbacks; more accurately a battle of experience versus youth. This will be interesting to watch but the game will likely not be about Favre and Romo. The Packers are dead last in the NFC... [Full Story]

Pack Off-the-Hook for Bounty Rule Violation

Posted by Dan Zinski · Published: November 26, 2007

The Green Bay Packers will not be penalized by the NFL for alleged violations of the so-called "bounty rule." The league did investigate charges that Packer defensive linemen were offered $500 bonuses for keeping opposing players under certain numbers, but they've now satisfied themselves that the Packers are taking care...

Paging Dr Gado

Posted by · Published: May 23, 2006 · Comments (1)

I just had to steal the title of my post from NFL.com's piece about one of last year's great success stories, Packers RB Samkon Gado, whose ultimate goal isn't the NFL, but becoming a doctor: Gado will continue to play American football, but his offseason work at Green Bay's Bellin... [Full Story]

Pack Has 10th Ranked Defense

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: November 15, 2005

The Green Bay Packers are only 2-7, and despite the mostly-awful play of second-year cornerback Ahmad Carroll (known to constantly commit penalties when he was five) the defense is #10 overall. And in disappointing news to those of us who want their season to be a total disaster so they... [Full Story]

Concerned about Packers' Draft

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: April 24, 2005

I'm still holding firm that Aaron Rodgers wasn't a good first round pick for the Packers. When I think of Rodgers Kyle Boller always pops into my head--must be they're both California QBs. There were still defensive linemen available with the 24th pick. Picking a QB in the first round... [Full Story]

The Kid Likes His Jersey

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: February 6, 2005

David Witthoft has worn his Brett Favre jersey for 408 days. That's taken a toll on the jersey: But the jersey isn't holding up as well as the boy's enthusiasm. The No. 4 has all but worn off and the seams are taking a beating as he grows. That jersey... [Full Story]

Packer Thug Dies

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: January 28, 2005 · Comments (1)

Back in the 1980s, the Green Bay Packers were dreadful, full of has-beens and never-could-bes and lead by coaches who played under Vince Lombardi. An especially lousy time was the Forrest Greg era. His teams were happy to end up 8-8. But what really marked Greg's teams was all the... [Full Story]

Possible Salary Cap Casualties

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: January 20, 2005

Guard Mike Wahle, safety Darren Sharper, and defensive tackle Cletidus Hunt could all be salary cap cuts if they don't renegotiate their contracts with the Green Bay Packers. "Salary Cap May Cost Packers"... [Full Story]

New Packers GM

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: January 14, 2005

Ted Thompson is the new Packers GM. Head coach Mike Sherman still has his job, but he now has a new boss and only one year left on his contract. The latter point may hurt the Packers in finding a replacement for defensive coordinator Bob Slowik--assuming Sherman is smart enough... [Full Story]

Packers to Split Top Jobs

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: January 13, 2005

Being Packers country the top story this morning isn't Gov. Doyle's State of the State Speech. Instead, the Journal Sentinel reports Mike Sherman will be stripped of his general manager duties. Packers president Bob Harlan wants Seattle Seahawks front office man Ted Thompson to run the show. Next season is... [Full Story]

Cursed Packers Hat

One fan doesn't think the Packers' recent post-season problems are Mike Sherman's fault. He thinks it's his cursed hat. It's now out on eBay looking for a buyer to destroy it.... [Full Story]

Snow Patrol

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: December 30, 2004

Over 900 people showed up outside Lambeau Field this morning answering the Packers' call for a snow shovel brigade. The team was paying people $8/hour to clear the bleachers even though people were willing to do it for free. I don't know who was dumber: the Packers for paying these... [Full Story]

Reggie White Dead

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: December 26, 2004

Reggie White is dead. His stay in Green Bay wasn't as long and his time in Philadephia. But his six seasons helped bring a title back to Titletown and made the Packers one of the most beloved franchises in all of sports. Brett Favre's golden arm and incredible toughness will... [Full Story]

Darius Fined $75 Grand

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: December 22, 2004

Jacksonville's Donovin Darius was fined $75,000 for his clotheslining of Green Bay Packers wide receiver Robert Ferguson. Darius has no history of dirty play. He doesn't appear to be the NFL's version of Ron Artest. I don't care if he's making $4 million a year, 75K is still a good... [Full Story]

What a Mess

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: October 5, 2004

Arnie Stapleton writes up a good summation of the Packers' season so far. The organization made two glaring mistakes. First, Mike Sherman overreacted on the 4th and 26 miracle play against the Eagles in last year's playoffs by dumping defensive coach Ed Donatell. Ed's now commanding the stout 4-0 Atlanta...

Packers Running Back Sued

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: October 5, 2004

Packers running back (and former fullback) Najeh Davenport is being sued for breaking into a woman's dorm room in 2002 and defecating in a laundry basket. I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner. Maybe it had something to do with Davenport's recent success as a football player. Would Mary McCarthy have... [Full Story]

Favre Adding to His Legend

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: October 4, 2004

In Green Bay's 14-7 loss to the NY Giants Brett Favre hit his head hard in the third quarter. He left the game only to come back a few plays later. On fourth down he threw a touchdown pass to Javon "Sky" Walker. Here's the clincher: Favre wasn't suppose to... [Full Story]

Favre's Bum Shoulder

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: September 27, 2004

Yesterday, Packers fans were worried after Dwight Freeney's knee hit the back of Brett Favre's leg. That's not much of a problem. Now, we find out that he's been dealing with a bad left shoulder for two years. "But I feel like Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon. It's just kind... [Full Story]

Legendary Shootout

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: September 26, 2004 · Comments (1)

Defense? What defense? That was the question in Indianapolis today. Brett Favre and Payton "Favre, Jr." Manning combined for nine touchdown passes and oodles of offense. The Colts owned the first half tearing apart the Packers depleted secondary. Favre and the gang kept pace. In the second half, the Packers... [Full Story]

McKenzie Back in Green Bay

Posted by Sports Blog Archive · Published: September 15, 2004

Mike McKenzie will meet with Mike Sherman tomorrow morning. The Journal Sentinel thinks McKenzie is ending his holdout. However, the only thing Sherman has said is "All I know is that I am meeting with Mike tomorrow at 8 o'clock. That's it. That's all I know." Hopefully, McKenzie realized the... [Full Story]
