2011 Packers Yearbook: Player Most Likely to be Voted to the Pro Bowl for the First Time.
(Be sure to place your vote in the poll below.)
Adam: Bryan Bulaga. There aren’t many dominant left tackles in the NFC. When (if) Bulaga makes the move to the left side, I’m not saying he’ll be dominant, but he’s got the talent to make the pro bowl.
Al: Desmond Bishop. I guess it would make sense that I stay consistent with my pick for breakout season. If Bishop has the type of breakout season I am anticipating, he will most certainly join the ranks of Pro Bowl players. Unfortunately, he’ll have to miss the game with the Packers in the Super Bowl.
Chad: Mason Crosby. After his best year ever in the NFL, Crosby was just one spot away from making the Pro Bowl in 2011. He seems to finally have found his footing with field goals, and the consistency of having Tim Masthay as a holder seems to be helping. Crosby also continues to amaze with his kickoff ability, having one of the best onside kicks in...

2011 Packers Yearbook: Player Most Likely to be in the Next State Farm Commercial with Aaron Rodgers (excluding Clay Matthews and BJ Raji)
(Be sure to place your vote in the poll below.)
Adam: Tom Crabtree. Nobody besides Packers fans know who Crabtree is, so he’ll be cast as the crazy dude yelling at Rodgers.
Al: Mason Crosby. A kicker is now stealing his move? I would see...
Rodgers: Matt Flynn is a ‘top-15′ NFL quarterback
Although he’s currently being overshadowed by Peyton Manning — you may have heard of him? — Matt Flynn is hands down considered to be the second-best quarterback on the open market.
And to boost his stock some more, a certain (former) teammate with the Pack gave the 26-year-old a ringing endorsement.
Per SI.com’s Peter King, Aaron Rodgers asserted that Flynn is a “top-15″...
Aaron Rodgers Says Matt Flynn Is Top 15 NFL QB; Compliment Or Insult?
Matt Flynn may only have two career starts under his belt, but the Green Bay Packers‘ 26-year-old backup quarterback will unquestionably collect widespread interest on the open market.

The 6-2, 225-pound quarterback out of LSU recently received a ringing endorsement from his fellow teammate, Aaron Rodgers, who ironically is the same size as Flynn—6’2...
In depth: Green Bay Packers
When Green Bay annihilated Oakland 46-16 to finish off a 13-0 start in 2011, talk turned to whether or not the Packers could complete a perfect season. But then they lost two of their last four games, including a whitewashing in the playoffs at the hands of the New York Giants.
Still, the Packers finished with a 15-1 regular season record and they remain one of the league’s most...
Mandarich still roots for Packers, Colts
Tony Mandarich has come a long way since his short-lived, controversy-filled career with the Green Bay Packers was put to an end in 1991.Considered the best offensive lineman prospect to ever enter the NFL draft, Mandarich was selected No. 2 overall by the Packers in 1989, just ahead of three future Hall of Famers: Barry Sanders, Deion Sanders and Derrick Thomas.Mandarich never came...
Matt Flynn: Best Bet Is He Signs With Miami Dolphins
The Green Bay Packers have said they would not use the franchise tag on Matt Flynn. This was the right thing to do all around.
Flynn is desired for a starting job. That means he will get an offer that is more than the Packers can afford to pay him. Even if they could afford it, he wants that chance to start. He has had only two meaningful appearances in his career sitting behind...
Bush Could Be A Popular Packer
Defensive back should have plenty of suitors in free agency
Assuming Scott Wells and Jarrett Bush make it to free agency on Tuesday, the former will sign for a lot more money, but the latter will be in far greater demand. A 31-year-old undersized center – no matter how good – will appeal to very few teams, while a 27-year-old semi-competent defensive back and special teams star...
Packers, C Scott Wells Remain Far Apart In Contract Talks
Tyler Dunne of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that the Green Bay Packers and C Scott Wells still have not found common ground in regards to a contract extension. Wells is said to be looking for a pretty sizable contract ($7.5 million per season) and the Packers have shown interest in retaining but it appears as though hell be allowed to test the open market. Previous...

Based on this report from The Times-Picayune, Mike Ornstein was a huge player in the Bountygate scandal. Ornstein never officially worked for the team, but the two time felon was a mainstay around the Saints. And depending on who you asked in the organization, he was either an asset or a detriment.Ornstein was cited as a figure that pledged money to the Saints’ bounty pool in the...

Surviving Sundays With No Packers Football
I was watching the Minnesota Gophers play the Michigan Wolverines in the Big 10 tournament on Friday night and somehow the end of the game made me think about the NFL.
It was one of those down-to-the-wire college basketball games that makes the sport so exciting, or at least should make the sport so exciting. Unfortunately, whenever the...
