Johnny Not So Jolly

Defensive lineman Johnny Jolly obviously has a lot on his mind these days, with his recent drug arrest in Houston, rehabbing from injury, and just the pressure of playing for an elite team in the NFL. But he’s certainly not helping his case any by getting up in the face of Mark Tauscher, like he [...]

Favre Family Night Cheers And Jeers

Cheers
Hooray for the Internet! I was able to watch the Packers Family Night scrimmage live streaming across the innerwebs.
Jeers
To FOX affiliate WLUK for not making it clear ahead of time they would be streaming the scrimmage live online, otherwise I would have watched the whole thing.
Cheers
Family Night at Lambeau Field is like a really big [...]

For Anyone Interested In Football

Believe it or not, there are some out there more interested in actual football than following every twist and turn in the Brett Favre odyssey. Eric at Packerholic has posted some firsthand observations from his visit to Packers camp along with a galley of pictures. (Well done, sir.) If you’re in the mood for something [...]

The Circus Is In Town!

Slow news day, huh? Unless the team was coming off a Super Bowl season I don’t think the first day of Packers training camp has ever dominated the headlines like it did today. Unfortunately most of that coverage read more like a cheap tabloid drama than football news, so let’s put aside Peter King’s latest [...]

Guess who’s back

It’s been a nice off-season break from posting/bitching/fretting about the Packers but training camp is ready to start in about two weeks, so I figure I better shake the dust off this blog and see if it still works. While we’re waiting for some actual news from camp, here’s a little video clip you might [...]

Rookies Go Camping

There’s some fairly encouraging news coming out of Green Bay where the new class of rookie players are going through their paces at mini camp. Up until now it has all been pure speculation as to whether any of these guys can play and will contribute to the Packers success, so its good to finally [...]

Thoughts On The Eve Of The Eve Of The Eve Of Packers Training Camp

Is it finally almost time for training camp to start? Don’t joke around about this because I’m practically dying over here. This summer has been long, hot, and excruciatingly boring due to the longness and hotness. I though early on that the Brewers might actually do something this year and I might be tempted to [...]

The Green Bay No-Show Show

Am I the only one who thinks the national press is paying an inordinate amount of attention to who is and who isn’t at Packers training camp this year? The AP, especially, has really stepped up its attendance checking duty in Green Bay, first sounding the alarm that Brett Favre is not in camp on [...]

Packers Minicamp Day 2: Favre Speaks

More tidbits came out of the second day of minicamp in Green Bay, but the highlight was Brett Favre’s first press conference since deciding to return for his 16th season with the team. The half hour session with reporters can be summed up thusly:
I’ve decided to play, because I want to play, so I’m here [...]

Packers Open Minicamp

Well, well, well, the first minicamp started yesterday, and look who was in town: Captain Favrelous himself. See, if the coaches ask him to come to minicamp, he shows up. He might not like it, because that lawn down in Mississippi probably needs mowing, but if someone says, “Brett, we think you should come up [...]
