Don’t worry – you didn’t misread the title. This week’s Wednesday special is going to be all about the running backs. No injury reports. No mention of Mason Crosby winning NFC Special Teams Player of the Week (outside of that one, of course). Nothing but running backs. And, really, why not? The position is the focus of [...] Most of the major news surrounding the Green Bay Packers on the day after their season-opening win over Philadelphia involved injuries. And, as is the case most of the time with things like these, the news wasn’t particularly good. Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Monday that running back Ryan Grant (ankle) is out for Sunday’s home opener with [...] If you were expecting Sunday’s game with the Philadelphia Eagles to be a thing of true beauty – a Rolls Royce, Cristal, Megan Fox type of performance – you might have ended up a bit disappointed.

This is where it gets tricky. Hopefully, I can make this both brief and understandable. As of now, the league and the player’s union are extremely far apart on a new CBA. In the event they fail [...] I told you I’d bring you part two today (scroll down a bit for part one) and I’m here to deliver. I’m many things – apparently, a piss poor predictor of playoff games is one of them (thanks for the mentioning that, however brutally, jclombardi) - but I am not a liar. Again, enjoy.
