Well, I doubt you missed me. But I just couldn't stay away. I realized that maybe there was some sort of unbeknownst blogging curse. Once I stopped blogging, the Packers started winning. And kept on winning. In fact, since my last post, the Packers beat...

The Packers are building their own hospital. After losing Ryan Grant for the season in week one, they lost starting safety Morgan Burnett to an ACL injury for the 2010 season as well. Unfortunately for the Pack, that's just the beginning. Add to that...

First off, I apologize for not being able to write a recap of the Packers vs. Bears game on Monday Night. However, as a Packer fan, I don't really feel it needs much of an explanation. All you need to say is 18 penalties and that just about accurately...

The San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers might be two of the luckiest teams in the NFL. What do they have in common you might ask, since the 49ers (a popular NFC West Champion pick) are at 0-2 and the Packers are leading the NFC North at 2-0...

The Kevin Kolb era begins. Will the Packers be ready to handle the "City of Brotherly Love" as Philadelphia Eagles fans try to watch a team without Donovan McNabb on the roster since 1998? In a word--yes. The Packers are popular picks to win the NFC ...
