Packers Address Key Needs In NFL Draft
There’s nothing like the start of a new football season and the NFL draft kicks it all off. Sure, no games are played and it occurs five months before the season starts. Even so, the draft has a similar feel to opening day in baseball. Every player selected is a potential superstar, and if they […]

The final score (44-21) does not properly express how much of bummer this game was from start to finish. Even so, if you are going to lose a playoff game you may as well go down in flames. The Packers […]

Aaron Rodgers is the NFL’s Greatest Boogeyman
What makes the “who’s the quarterback of all-time?” debate so much fun is that the question has no answer. You can argue that Peyton Manning is the greatest QB that ever played because he has the best stats. You would be equally correct to argue that Joe Montana is the best because he went 4-0 in […]

Mike McCarthy Is Officially Off The Hot Seat
Less than one month ago the Green Bay Packers were toast. They had just lost their 4th consecutive game and dropped to 4-6 on the season.

World Series: Who Are You Rooting For (or Against?)
Major League Baseball must be thrilled with the pairing for the 112th World Series. On one hand you have the big market Chicago Cubs, a team with a such a pronounced history of failure that baseball fans and non-baseball fans alike know their story.

Packers Continue Descent into Mediocrity
The worst part about predictions is that they’re usually wrong. At the beginning of the Green Bay Packers season I wrote: “get excited about…another season of high-octane offense.” So much for that. The issues plaguing Aaron Rodgers and the Packers will be dissected and re-dissected until they string together a few inspiring victories.* I have my own […]

Packers Face Crucial Test on Sunday
From 1992 to 2014 the Green Bay Packers defeated the Detroit Lions in every game played in Wisconsin. That streak of dominance came to an end last year when the Lions squeaked out an 18-16 victory at Lambeau Field. Despite that recent blip, the Lions are a team the Packers should defeat at home. Unfortunately, things in […]

Super Bowl or Bust for the Packers?
According to Betteridge’s Law of Headlines, “any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word ‘no.'” The headline of this column is no exception. A pervasive mentality among Green Bay Packers fans (and observers) is that any season with Aaron Rodgers that does not culminate with a Super Bowl win […]

Matthews, Peppers Stuck in NFL Vortex of Justice
The NFL handles player discipline with the absurd logic of a Monty Python sketch. For example, a player suspended by commissioner Roger Goodell has the right to an appeal. This appeal will be heard by commissioner Roger Goodell. As if this process is not troubling enough, the NFL pursues perceived wrongdoers like a modern incarnation of the Spanish Inquisition. Unfortunately for the Green […]
