If you’ve ever visited the Big Apple, you may have seen a game of 3-card Monty. It’s a game for grifters, and those foolish enough to think they can win. I’ve seen it on buses and subways. It’s pretty fun … Continue reading →

The day Ron Wolf traded for a relative unknown named Brett Favre, he poured the cement foundation for his Green Bay Packers legacy. More than signing Reggie White or hiring Mike Holmgren, trading for Brett Favre is the reason Ron … Continue reading →

The Green Bay Packers and a certain QB are, very much, at a crossroads. Since there’s plenty of media chatter about that, this may be a good time to consider other Packers, yes, there are more than 50 who don’t … Continue reading →

This is not about Aaron Rodgers vs. Jordan Love. It’s about Rodgers, or the future. If you’ve been on any of the internet chat strings with people commenting about whether to trade, or bring back Aaron Rodgers, you know it’s … Continue reading →

Bad plays. So. Many. Bad plays. The loss to Detroit was more painful because it looked like a microcosm of the entire season. Like this one, most games looked very winnable. But consistently unimaginative play calling in the red-zone, mental … Continue reading →

Sleep came hard Sunday night into Monday morning. Like many Packers fans, I have more emotional investment in the team than serves my inner peace. People say we’d have gotten crushed by San Francisco anyway. No matter, it was a … Continue reading →

“We’re going to win. I guarantee it.” That, the legendary prediction from Joe Namath just days before Super Bowl III. His Jets were 18-point underdogs to the Baltimore Colts. No one game them a chance. Namath’s bold words rocked the … Continue reading →

It’s easy to forget how much fun a win can be. Even more fun? The final 2-weeks could be more exciting, and maybe, just maybe, not the final 2-weeks. In recent weeks posters on this site asked other fans “would … Continue reading →

It’s that time of year. Players’ aren’t thinking naughty or nice. They’re thinking performance and pay. If I were Elgton Jenkins, I’d have dollars dancing like sugar plums in my head, knowing what soon might be under the tree. Exerting … Continue reading →

Aaron Rodgers must be benched. Jordan Love has to play NOW! Joe Barry must be fired, yesterday. The defense needs to be torn down and rebuilt! We should tank for the highest possible draft pick. These and other over-heated takes … Continue reading →

Most of us know little or nothing about Kingsley Enagbare, Rudy Ford or Justin Hollins. If all was “right” with the Packers defense– you wouldn’t need to. But those three players showed up and stood out Sunday night. Meanwhile, previous … Continue reading →

“When you have a tough decision to make, make it immediately.” -Unknown There’s an order to how this stuff needs to happen. Unfortunately for Joe Barry, his firing needs to happen first. The sooner the better. In a column today, … Continue reading →

The old saying goes: “you can’t fix stupid.”  Thankfully, stupid isn’t the issue for Packers leadership. It’s their pigheaded, “head-in-the-sand” stubbornness.  Along with countless experts and analysts, we could all see needed changes and course corrections Packers leadership could have … Continue reading →

Do we want Troy Aikman or Tony Mandarich? That’s what I reflected on as I tried to think about the last time the Packers were in this spot. 1989 was the last time Packer fans contemplated a pick near the … Continue reading →

As of this writing the Packers have made no moves before the Tuesday 3pm trade deadline. It’s a tough call whether they should make such a move. It will be telling whichever way they go. Difference maker needed Certainly, they … Continue reading →

“Stress and anxiety come from too much expectation and too much ambition” Dalai Lama  The thing about expectation is it can really distort your enjoyment of the game. Yes, during a 3-game losing streak and dreadful season now is as … Continue reading →

It’s not so much “that” they’re losing. It’s how they’re losing. The 2022 Green Bay Packers are built to win-now. 3-and-3 should not be a crisis, but strangely, after two ugly losses, it feels like just that. The expectations created … Continue reading →

After 5-games, the Green Bay Packers are not a very good football team. The performances, players and coaches, have been inconsistent and not good enough. The defense is predictable, and even worse, passive. The offense is choppy and out of … Continue reading →

The larger than life story of Elgton Jenkins versatility is overcooked. It turns out, he’s a guard. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. You’ve heard of past Green Bay Packers offensive guards– Jerry Kramer, Gale Gillingham, Mike Wahle, Marco Rivera, … Continue reading →

We’ve all heard the classic sports cliché’s. It’s a “revenge game.” These teams “don’t like each other.” This is a “trap game.” My personal favorite, “pound-for-pound he’s a great player”– translation: the player is too small but he’s pretty good. … Continue reading →

A win, need not be dominating. A win, does not have to be a work of art. All wins are not created equally. The Green Bay Packers win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was as complete and compelling a win … Continue reading →

There’s every reason to believe the Packers should beat the Tampa Bay Buc’s on Sunday. But they won’t. Thankfully, I’m not a great prognosticator. Also, I sometimes mentally assume the obvious to lower my disappointment later, to psyche myself out. … Continue reading →

There’s no such thing as a “must win” game in September. There just isn’t. Dividing the contenders from the pretenders mostly takes place between Halloween and Christmas in the NFL. Nonetheless, the Packers-Bears game Sunday night is high stakes for … Continue reading →

What’s worse than an uninspiring game plan? Being too foolish or stubborn to change course when you see it’s not working. On Sunday in Minneapolis, Coach Matt LaFleur had numerous blinking light alerts that their plans were not getting it … Continue reading →

I consider myself a seasoned, knowledgeable NFL fan. Although far from being an expert, I pretty much “get” offensive and defensive strategy. When it comes to Special Teams, they may as well be speaking Portuguese, because I’m clueless. Sure, I … Continue reading →
