I’ve written weekly Packers positives for over a month now and in that time the team’s fortunes have changed completely. We’ve gotten to the point where most fans don’t think the team will lose another game this season and prognosticators en masse are saying that Jordan Love has arrived and is better than QBs such…


If you were here last season, you might remember my post-game “Toasts and Roasts” series. I reviewed the Green Bay Packers’ previous game and would toast the highlights of the game with a good beer of my choosing and would roast the lowlights with a beer I deemed not very good.
