By:  Zach Kruse If you’re a Green Bay Packers fan, you probably have a pretty good feel for the way GM Ted Thompson goes about his business. For starters, he doesn’t overpay for big name free agents. That has frustrated fans in the past, but I think most have come around on this part of his management strategy. Thompson’s other most visible principle is his use of the draft. Very rarely (if ever) does he reach for a player simply because it fits a positional need for the Packers. Only when the top of Thompson’s draft board meets with a [...]

By: G. Jon Blunden There is a popular NFL adage, “On Any Given Sunday”; it’s meaning is that in the NFL there is a very real possibility that any team could prevail in their weekly Sunday match-up. NFL players and their fans, no matter how big an underdog they might be, truly believe that their team can win. It’s what drives the players and their fans. It is a rare individual that attains the status of a professional NFL player. Only 1696 achieve that distinction each week of the season. The talent and hard work it takes to make it [...]

Aaron Rodgers and his celebrity crush.. Ellen

By Kevin Gibson Remember five years ago when The Packers signed then-free agent cornerback Charles Woodson to a big, fat contract? Most of Packer Nation, including myself, said, “Um, what the hell is wrong with Ted Thompson?” Yeah, sorry about that, Ted. Good call, man. Guess what? Now there are a few rumblings that free agent, all-world corner Nnamdi Asomugha may be Green Bay bound, following in the footsteps of his former Raiders teammate Woodson. Word is that Asomugha himself has hinted that he would like to play along side Woodson again, and Woodson has in turn expressed an interest [...]

By Kevin Gibson Donald Driver, you just got your first Super Bowl ring in your memorable 12-year NFL career: What’s next? Good question. Green Bay’s elder statesman has indeed had one heckuva career, and he’s signed for two more years of a total $17.8 million contract. However, at age 36, he’s clearly on the decline, having just completed what stands statistically as his worst season since 2001. Not counting playoffs, Driver has 698 receptions for 9,615 yards in his career, numbers that will forever etch him as one of the best pass-catchers ever to don the green and gold. However, [...]

Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers’ “Championship Belt” celebration has taken on a life of it’s own. As Packers fans, we’ve all seen the celebratory invisible belt when he makes a nice throw or a first down. It has always been fun for us to watch and boy did we have a lot to celebrate this year! For those, not in the know, they call it the “hip thrust”, which it is not. I have a feeling this going to go way past the Super Bowl and way past the Packers. But now..the belt, or being “belt worthy” is getting [...]
