Clayton Examines RB Situation

Yesterday I posted an article in which John Clayton of ESPN took a look at Aaron Rodgers and his preparation for the season.  I found another article by Clayton, whom I am not particularly fond of, examining the running back situation in Green Bay.  Clayton does a good job of showing the purpose and method [...]

Meet the Draft Picks: Patrick Lee

Patrick Lee

Many of us felt this pick was coming at #30 during the NFL Draft. But that got traded to the New York Jets. Then we thought it was coming at #36. Jordy Nelson came instead. #56? Sounds good to me. Wait, nevermind. Then it finally came at [...]

I’m No Financial Expert

Packers’ Finances on Solid Ground (Packers.com)
Packers continue to make profits (JSOnline.com)

Jason Taylor is Full of Crap

Seriously.
Yes, I know I entertained the notion of having Taylor, the disgruntled Miami Dolphin,  in the Green & Gold next season, but now I don’t want to touch him with a 50-foot pole drenched in disinfectant.  The man has locker room cancer written all over him now.  The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel has a great piece on [...]

The Packers wrapped up their last offseason workout yesterday before the start of training camp, and guess what?
They’re thinking Super Bowl.

Nick Barnett:
“We definitely feel that it’s a realistic achievement for us with the guys we have in the locker room and what we achieved last year.”

Culpepper, who also spent time with the Miami Dolphins and is best known for his time with the [...]

A catalyst for these rumors is the fact the Packers are looking for an option to secure their defensive line. Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila is coming off knee surgery and although he says he will be fine by training camp, [...]
