Before the Super Bowl XXXI victory and long before the three MVP accolades, Brett Favre was going to be the death of me. I know exactly where I was, and it was nowhere near Titletown. I was a little over 3800 miles away and living in Cambridge, England with 20 other Valparaiso students trying to…
I hate offseason accolades. As in really hate them. The NFL Top 100 Greatest Players is a great example of that. “Voted on by the Players.” Sure the Packers’ own Aaron Rodgers usually factors somewhere in the top ten, depending on the team’s success the year before. Sure, it’s nice and all, but it has…
It seems to be a running joke among football fans (Packers’s fans are no exception) that the goal for any team during that No Man’s Land between minicamp and training camp in July is simple: don’t get arrested.

With that, there will be little activity out of 1265 Lombardi Avenue until the team reconvenes at the end of July for Training Camp ahead of the 2015 regular season. Tickets for…

During the McCarthy era, the team routinely forgoes one of its minicamp practices for an afternoon…
After the recent OTAs, you would think the Green Bay Packers had drafted a new starting quarterback. Needless to say, I was surprised by the hype that fifth round pick Brett Hundley generated since donning a red quarterback practice jersey. Yes, yes, a fresh face that was on the (albeit regional) cover of Sports Illustrated…
So Jordy Nelson had hip surgery in the off-season. Cue the panic, because the Packers’ star wide receiver didn’t practice during the OTAs. According to ESPNWisconsin’s Jason Wilde, the surgery isn’t causing much concern for Nelson or coach Mike Mike McCarthy. It’s business as usual at 1265 Lombardi Avenue, and they seem to be treating…
