With an offense led by Aaron Rodgers and a seemingly endless amount of weapons on the perimeter, a running game has not been integral for the Green Bay Packers the past couple of years.  However, with Ryan Grant hitting the free agent market this off-season, general manager Ted Thompson will have to make a decision about which direction to go with the position.

What Should The Packers Do With Free Agent Jermichael Finley?

January 23, 2012 By 10 Comments

With Ryan Grant, Donald Driver, Jermichael Finley, Scott Wells, and Matt Flynn all free agents and the Green Bay Packers needing some drastic upgrades on the defensive side of the football, Pack general manager Ted Thompson has some major decisions to make this off-season.

Of the aforementioned names, Finley’s is the most intriguing.  He is one of the most dynamic tight ends in the game (ya know, when he isn’t dropping passes), but should the Packers be willing to give him a long-term extension and for how much?

With Joe Philbin in Miami, Could the Packers Matt Flynn End Up In South Beach?

January 20, 2012 By 4 Comments

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Friday, the Miami Dolphins ended their search for a Head Coach by naming the former Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator, Joe Philbin, to the position. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what Philbin’s first course of action should be in Miami.

The Dolphins’ most glaring need is at quarterback. Whether they have already planned to draft one in April or stick with the inconsistent Matt Moore or Chad Henne has yet to be determined.

Another idea would be for Philbin to urge the Dolphins’ front office to pursue Packers back-up QB Matt Flynn in free agency or a sign-and-trade.

Crying Female Packers Fan Takes Playoff Loss Hard (Video)

January 18, 2012 By Leave a Comment

green-bay-packers-logo

Meet Green Bay Packers fan Casey Lewis. The stunning upset loss to the New York Giants last Sunday made her rather emotional. This video is a very good cautionary tale for and about cheeseheads everywhere.

Casey seems to believe in a lot of the same superstitions as other sports fans. That what jersey you wear actually makes a difference, whether or not you paint sparkes in your fingernails (yeah, this is always an agonizing decision for me on game day) affects the outcome of the game.

My favorite part of the video though is when Lewis mocks/imitates her friend through her tears.

More importantly, at least she didn’t go violent after the loss, like this Cheesehead woman did.

Enjoy the vid after the jump; Miss Wisconsin/America Laura Kaeppler hitting on Aaron Rodgers this is not.

Laura Kaeppeler was named Miss America 2012, entering the pageant at Miss Wisconsin. Therefore, you can put aside your stereotypes about fat people in Wisconsin; at least for a year. And as you might expect, she’s a Green Bay Packers fan.

Kaeppler introduced herself on the evening of her crowning moment by mentioning the NFL’s defending Super Bowl champions and their superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

“If you’re watching, Aaron Rodgers, call me,” she said.

The Green Bay Packers are the New Philadelphia Phillies

The Green Bay Packers saw their storybook season come to an embarrassing halt yesterday (Sunday, January 15) in a 37-20 NFC divisional playoffs loss against the New York Giants. Like the Philadelphia Phillies before them, who had the best record in baseball until they fell apart in the MLB division series, the defending Superbowl champs looked like they woke up still drunk from the night before, then decided to play a football game. The hometown crowd booed the Packers at halftime, which was followed by a chorus of “Let’s go Giants!” by the smattering of Giants fans combating frostbite in the Wisconsin cold at the game’s end.

During the regular season, the Green Bay Packers lost a total of six fumbles. In their playoff game against the New York Giants, they lost three. And that was only part of went wrong for the Packers in their shocking 37-20 loss to the Giants.

Aaron Rodgers was far from efficient and the receiving core dropped a season-high eight balls.

This weekend’s big winners were the San Francisco 49ers who will get another home game when they host the Giants in the NFC Championship game.

After an entertaining Wild-Card Weekend, it’s safe to say that the best four NFC teams remain on the road to Indianapolis, the site of Super Bowl XLVI. On one side of the bracket we have the high-powered New Orleans Saints heading to San Francisco to take on the defensive-oriented 49ers and on the other, a high-powered Green Bay Packers team hosting a balanced New York Giants squad.

While both games are intriguing, the bout between the Packers and Giants is the most appealing to us in the Midwest. Let’s take a look at some of the headlines in a rematch of the 2007 NFC Championship Game.

Top 10 Celebrity/Athlete Tramp Stamps: Britney, Jenn Brown, Kournikova (PHOTOS)

January 12, 2012 By 2 Comments

Women with lower back tattoos- what can I say that I haven’t already said quite often in an extremely off-color and very inappropriate manner?

I’ll defer to Guyism on this one, they gave as good a synopsis as you’ll find on the topic:

It all started with the movie, The Wedding Crashers. Thank you Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson for bringing the “Tramp Stamp” to the public’s attention. After the scene where they point out that lower back tattoos are like a target, it seemed like every bar hopping babe, who didn’t already have one, went out and got one the next day. Not only can tramp stamps serve as targets, but they can also serve as warnings.

We lead this off with Anna Kournikova, one of the highest earning female athletes of all time.
