Green Bay Packers schedule out, three of first four at Lambeau
In 2012, the Green Bay Packers find themselves in one of the biggest match-ups of week one, as last year’s #1 seed in the NFC will take on an NFC finalist in the San Francisco 49ers. After that scintillating on paper contest the Pack host the rival Chicago Bears in week two on a Thursday night. After a week three trip to Seattle, to battle the Seahawks on Monday night, the Packers return home to face the Sean Payton-less New Orleans Saints, and possibly get revenge for the bounty hunters targeting Aaron Rodgers.

Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers at 6 to 1 odds for the Madden Curse
Green Bay Packers fans are anxiously waiting for April 25th when they will learn whether their MVP Quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be donned with the infamous Madden Curse.
Rodgers recently defeated the Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice in a bracket competition (as voted by fans) to join fellow semifinalists WR Calvin Johnson, QB Cam Newton and LB Patrick Willis.
According to Brovada.com, Rodgers (6:1) is a slight underdog this week when he takes on Johnson or as most know him as Megatron (5:2). On the other side of the bracket, Newton (2:5) has emerged as the favorite to topple Willis (12:1). [Read more...]
Packers QB, Brett Favre predecessor Blair Kiel dies at age 50
Blair Kiel, a backup quarterback for the Green Bay Packers in the early 1990s, and of the last Pack signal callers to start at the position before Brett Favre began his phenomenal streak has died. Kiel last started for the Packers in 1991. Favre took over the position from 1992-2007.
Kiel passed away Sunday in Columbus, Ind., of what Bartholomew County authorities said was a heart attack. He also had Crohn’s disease. Blair Kiel’s nephew, Gunner Kiel, is a freshman quarterback on the 2012 Notre Dame football roster, and was the nation’s top rated signal caller by most recruiting services.
Green Bay Packers 2012 preseason schedule; erase sour 2011 memories
Given the way 2011 ended for the Green Bay Packers, with that bitter, stomach-churning upset to the New York Giants in the postseason. Which shut the door on the promising, dominating 15-1 regular season, and opened the door for the 9-7 Giants to beat the New England Patriots and win the Super Bowl. (In other words, a NFL version of the 83-79 St. Louis Cardinals winning the 2006 World Series)
Time is already here to move on to 2012.
And the Pack preseason schedule is already out.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers teaming up with Milwaukee Brewers

Green Bay Packers mild winter: quiet in free agency, stadium renovation
It’s been a very mild winter in Green Bay, Wisconsin. As well as the rest of the United States. But the tundra is not freezing over as much, and the Packers have been pretty quiet in free agency this NFL offseason. This year more than ever, they’ve reinforced the reputation as a team that likes to build through the draft. It’s what GM Ted Thompson likes to do.
He’s a value GM and likes to draft BPA: best player available.
The biggest news they’ve made in free agency is letting Matt Flynn leave. But the mild winter has also had consequence on the Lambeau Field addition. The scoreboard addition seems to be moving ahead as scheduled, or even faster.
Former Packers QB Matt Flynn strikes a deal with the Seattle Seahawks
It didn’t take long for the former Green Bay Packers’ back-up QB to find a new home.
Matt Flynn has accepted a three-year deal worth up to $26 million, including $10 million guaranteed to join the Seattle Seahawks.
Flynn isn’t the first back-up in Green Bay to leave for Seattle as did Matt Hasselbeck in 2001 when he was traded to the Seahawks for draft picks. [Read more...]

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