Life as a Packers fan in the Twin Cities - and why I hate Vikings fans

As I write this, the calendar sits on July 11. That really didn’t leave me a whole lot of options for this space.

Sure, I could write about some things that actually involve the current incarnation of the Green Bay Packers. But now doesn’t seem like the best time to write such posts – better to [...]

Childress to Favre: Take your time; Bosling to Childress: Give it up

To recap:

–Brad Childress said he talked to Brett Favre twice this week, but couldn’t pin him down on how he feels about returning, because Favre had other things — like landscaping — on his mind.

–Childress said Favre has “earned that latitude” to essentially take as long as he wants to make a decision, possibly even [...]

Darren Sharper on Nick Collins

Darren Sharper weighed in from the Super Bowl on Nick Collins’ contract situation with the Green Bay Packers, which in some ways mirrors his own departure from the Packers after the 2004 [...]

Regular season game fifteen vs. Seattle: Time to look ahead

The Green Bay Packers are in the playoffs.

You know what? I’m going to say that one again, this time with feeling:

THE GREEN BAY PACKERS ARE IN THE (EXPLETIVE DELETED) PLAYOFFS!

YES!!

Sunday’s 48-10 home demolition of the woeful Seattle Seahawks – what’s happened to THEM? – combined with a New York Giants loss puts the now 10-5 [...]

Favre/Childress spat a study in egos gone wild

(Please note: I was originally planning on writing my Christmas list for the Green Bay Packers as my usual lighthearted Tuesday post. But then Sunday night happened in Charlotte, North Carolina. And, well, that’s just too good to pass up.)

Well, well, well – it looks as though there’s a little lover’s spat going on here [...]

Who dat? Not you, Judas

UPDATE: I’ve been graciously informed by reader Holly that “who dey” refers to the Bengals, while “who dat” is the Saints. Whoops. Thanks for the catch, Holly. Can’t keep my Southern team cheers straight. And if you don’t think Cincinnati is in the South, spend some time there. Right over the border from Kentucky. Anyway…

Hey everybody–Gene here, back [...]

Lack of gambles are doing Thompson in

Gene sent me a Facebook message today – again, don’t bother trying to add him on there, he WILL decline your request – reminding me to check out a story, written last week by the great Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, focusing on just how much the Minnesota Vikings have outperformed the Green [...]

One first round pick signed, one to go

Defensive lineman B.J. Raji (RAJI!) now sits alone as the last Green Bay Packer rookie to sign a contract as the team reached agreement with its other first round selection, outside linebacker Clay Matthews, Thursday evening.

According to Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press Gazette, the deal is likely close to the one given to [...]

Know your enemies: Minnesota Vikings edition

“You can’t lose what you don’t put in the middle…but you can’t win much either.”
-Mike McDermott, “Rounders”

Quick Refresher:

Even though the movie “Rounders” is about poker, the game the Vikings and Judas played all offseason was essentially a game of high stakes poker.  (I have been waiting  on a decision from the man who make waffle makers blush [...]

An open letter to No. 4

Before we begin, I just want to point out one thing. I absolutely did not want to write anything about any Brett Favre rumors. Really, I didn’t. But then I read a story on the New York Daily News’ website, from Saturday, which gave me no other choice.

Dear Brett,

First off, is it cool if I call you [...]
