If you live in Wisconsin this week, these are wonderful times. The Packers are world champions for the 13th time. The three Lombardi Trophies proudly displayed in the final room of the Packers Hall of Fame are about to get a new friend. (Side note: We love the spotlights on the trophies, the music playing [...]

To: Michael John McCarthy From the desk (or couch) of: Chris Lempesis Dear Mike, Hey man – how’s it going? Silly question, I know. You must be on top of the world right now (or, at least, 60 minutes away from it). Anyways, I’m writing you today to tell you I’m sorry. That’s right – your old buddy Chris is choking down [...] No catchy, clever intro here. Let’s get down to business. Here are three things the Green Bay Packers must, must, must do if they are to advance to the Su…wait…I don’t even want to say that phrase yet…defeat the Chicago Bears in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game (still get chills writing that). Win the special teams battle. Or, at the very [...] “Flashbulb memories” is a psychology term used to define specific moments. Or, at least that’s what I think it’s called. I only eeked out a B in my Psych 101 class in college. Either way, these moments are referred to as such because – for the rest of your life – you will be able to [...] In guiding his team to a 45-3 blowout win over the New York Jets on Dec. 6, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady set an NFL record for most consecutive regular season home wins at 26. In case you weren’t sure, the record had previously been held by a man we know (all too) well: Brett [...] “You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” - The Dark Knight (2008) This whole season I kept coming back to this quote when thinking of Brett Favre. The night his streak ends I find it fitting to put this all into context…one…last…time. We [...] Aaron Rodgers and Matt Ryan are strikingly different – and strikingly similar. Rodgers is a West Coast kid, through and through. He grew up in Chico, California, and played college ball at Butte College before transfering to Cal. Ryan cut his teeth on the East Coast, growing up in Pennsylvania before making a name for himself at [...] I had the pleasure of watching the Packers game at the Hawk and Dove on Capitol Hill yesterday with a bar full of jovial Packers fans, including the esteemed Holly Phelps, blogger for Cheesehead TV, BrentFavre.com and a handful of other places. Walking out after the Packers destroyed the Minnesota Vikings, Holly and I were [...] I really didn’t want to write a post like this. Seriously, you have to believe me. I mean, what’s the point of setting aside over 1,000 words for an opponent that’s 3-6? Isn’t that like setting aside over 1,000 words about your upcoming fight with a 12-year old? Doesn’t that just make you seem petty? Maybe. That said… I hate the Minnesota [...] Like Chris mentioned in his epic season preview, it would be only a matter of time before myself and Gene chime in with our season predictions. Great minds think alike (at least we think they are great), so Chris and I like a lot of the same teams this year. However, there are some big [...] |
