Green Bay Packers TE Jermichael Finley was widely expected to be this year’s breakout tight end. He’s big, he’s fast and you can’t cover him. That is, unless he’s hurt. Finley underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee recently. We were told that it was arthroscopic surgery and that he’d miss 3-6 [...]
The Green Bay Packers suffered a very disappointing loss to the Chicago Bears Monday night. It was a very winnable game, but the Packers seemed intent on handing the game over via penalties and stupid turnovers. While we haven’t seen it yet (it’s not posted yet, that’s why), apparently Packers DB Nick Collins flipped out [...]
Gold Rushers vs Old Indians (-3) What are you buying? The Kansas City Chiefs as a 2-0 team or the San Francisco 49ers as an 0-2 team? I said in the preseason that I thought the Chiefs had a shot to win the AFC West. Over the last eight years, seven teams have gone from [...]
You may or may not have remembered the Philadelphia Eagles fans who heckled New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs last year. But, in case you didn’t, the videographer in this clip gladly started this Packers heckling off with a reminder. And it’s the same guys. This is what they do at every Eagles game. How [...]
When Green Bay Packers RB Ryan Grant went down for the season last Sunday against the Eagles with a nasty ankle injury, many speculated that the club would get the Buffalo Bills on the horn to talk about Marshawn Lynch. “Bring him on,” former Cal teammate Aaron Rodgers said at the time. “I think when [...]
After Sunday’s win against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Green Bay Packers were calling Ryan Grant’s ankle injury a sprain. We weren’t supposed to worry too much about the protective boot that he was wearing on the sidelines. Now, they are singing a different tune. Head coach Mike McCarthy said in his Monday press conference that [...]
This is hilarious. Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers had some choice words for Monday Night Football “analyst” and ESPN “personality” Tony Kornheiser in a recent interview with ESPN Radio in Milwaukee. Rodgers sat down with Kornheiser in 2008 for a pre-production meeting before a Monday night game, and Rodgers was unimpressed to say the [...]
It was recently reported that Green Bay Packers second-year CB Brandon Underwood was being accused of sexual assault. Two women claim that he assaulted him while he and other Packers players were away at a golf outing. Well, it looks like Underwood won’t be charged with sexual assault (always a good thing we guess), but [...]
There were reports this weekend of a sexual assault that occurred in Lake Delton and that a member of the Green Bay Packers was involved. Originally, the police interviewed six Packers, none of whom were suspects. It was the seventh guy that they were looking for.
Green Bay Packers DE Johnny Jolly has an upcoming trial in Houston where he faces charges of felony drug possession. With his clean record, Jolly was not expected to be looking at jail time even if he was convicted. Well guess what? The prosecutor has a little surprise for Jolly. They are claiming that they [...]
The Green Bay Packers have a nice running back in Ryan Grant, but after that? Not much. Former second-round pick Brandon Jackson doesn’t really offer much, so it’s not a complete shock that the Packers would have some interest in former Philadelphia Eagles RB Brian Westbrook. Well, two sources tell the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that the [...]
A league source tells Michael C. Wright of the Florida Times-Union that the Jacksonville Jaguars and free agent DE Aaron Kampman have agreed on a deal. Terms of the deal aren’t immediately available. The Jaguars certainly want Kampman to give them a pass rush opposite former first-round DE Derrick Harvey, who has given them next [...]
Scout.com’s JagNation reports that former Green Bay Packers DE Aaron Kampman is in Jacksonville meeting with the Jaguars. At the very least, we believe he’s talking with the Jags, but since the report also claims that he met with the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday (he didn’t), we’re skeptical. Kampman is 30-years old and coming off of [...]
A league source tells Sean Jensen of the Chicago Sun Times that Green Bay Packers free agent defensive end Aaron Kampman could be headed to Philadelphia. Kampman is regarded as the second best defensive end on the market behind Julius Peppers, and the Eagles really need a pass rush opposite Trent Cole. The Packers say [...]
Jermichael Finley, former third-round pick of the Green Bay Packers, is finally the starter for the team, head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed on Sunday. It seems that Donald Lee will now get a bigger dose of special teams. “Yes, he (Finley) is (the starter),” McCarthy said during the NFL Combine. “He played very well. What’s [...]
According to Adam Schefter’s Twitter account, the Green Bay Packers have franchised DT Ryan Pickett. The move will cost them $7 million for this season. “Green Bay Packers placed their franchise tag on DT Ryan Pickett. The DT franchise tag is $7 million. Pickett not going anywhere,” he tweets. They must really like Pickett in [...]
While we may never know for sure, judge for yourself….was Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers taking a little nappy nap during the Wild Card game against the Arizona Cardinals?
For anyone thinking of accepting a check from former Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Ross Verba, we’d recommend against it. He was arrested in Phoenix on charges of failing to pay $26,000 in gambling debts to a Las Vegas resort. He’s got three counts of writing bad checks in 2008 to the [...]
The Green Bay Packers have gone back to the well and signed running back Ahman Green. Green has been out of football since he was cut by the Houston Texans back in February. Green needs just 46 yards to tie Jim Taylor’s 8,207 franchise rushing record. That feat should be attainable by the end of [...]
Several years ago, at the beginning of the college season it was widely believed that Louisville QB Brian Brohm had a good chance to be the #1-overall pick in the following year’s NFL draft. Well, that didn’t happen after a less-than-stellar 2007 and in the 2008 draft he was snagged by the Green Bay Packers [...]
The Packers looked great on Friday night in a beatdown against the Cardinals, but they did have some bad news too. Wide receiver Greg Jennings suffered a concussion when he crushed by Aaron Francisco and Bryant McFadden. “Yeah for a second or two,” he said. “It’s part of football. I’m good now. Everything’s working normal. [...]
According to NFL.com, Falcons holdout WR Roddy White wants more money than Green Bay Packers WR Greg Jennings got this summer. Jennings’ deal gives him $16 million in guaranteed money, but the deal could shoot to $30 million with incentives. Well, we know that White ain’t gonna get Larry Fitzgerald money. He received a four-year, [...]
We are thrilled to not have to talk about Brett Favre anymore. He has told the Vikings he is staying retired and this is all the ink we are giving it. Photo Caption: Please, just please, keep running. Run away.
The Jets have released tight end Bubba Franks. The 31-year old had knee issues that kept him from practicing this offseason. It must have been a big problem because after Dustin Keller, they don’t have much in the way of tight ends on the roster. Keller seems like he could really be a player, but [...]
A second-round pick in 2006, Greg Jennings is now paid like the nasty wide receiver that he is for the Green Bay Packers. Terms of the deal haven’t been disclosed, but we assume that he’s getting an upgrade from the $535,000 he was due to earn this season under his rookie deal. The AP suspects [...]
