TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts, Green Bay Packers
I can think of few things more appropriate than a team, whose head coach announced earlier in the week he would be out, likely for the season, as he battles a treatable form of Leukemia, being beaten down in the first half only to come roaring back as if they were battling for their lives, to upset the Green Bay Packers 30-27.While it may be breast cancer awareness month, it might as well be cancer awareness. There is little doubt it was exactly that for the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, adorned in pink garb playing under the slogan "Chuck Strong."So let Chuck Pagano be the hero of the game. He is most certainly a hero of life, as is anyone that has to endure cancer of any sort.He was surely on the minds of the players all week and during their inspirational second half comeback victory on Sunday.Honorable mention goes to Andrew Luck and Reggie Wayne, who connected on six of seven completions during the game winning drive, including the winning score. Wayne finished with 1...

Meet The Spaniard Version Of Aaron Rodgers
It has come to our attention that there exists an indie pop band from Barcelona named Manel. This outfit would be of little consequence to us, save for the fact that it is fronted by a beardy little hipster named Guillem Gisbert, who bears a striking resemblance to Aaron Rodgers.
Now, it is possible this is a crafty alias concocted by Rodgers to indulge his chill bro side without...
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers Admits He's Not Playing His Best Football
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was brutally honest about the issues slowing down the Green Bay offense. The reigning MVP took responsibility for his own play on his radio show with Jason Wilde on WAUK-AM in Milwaukee.

Packers at 2-3: Looking ahead at the rest of the season
Rodgers and the offense have time to right their wrongs.Looking at the schedule before the season, I thought the Packers would be 5-0 at this point. Instead, the team sits at 2-3 with a tough matchup next week against the undefeated Houston Texans.Through five games, the offense has yet to score 30 points in a single game, while the defense has been up-and-mostly down. Sure, there...
Packers victims of their own press?
Last season, the Green Bay Packers followed up their improbable Super Bowl run to close out 2010 with a 15-1 regular season record. As a team, the Packers seemed on top of the world; they were unstoppable. But with one of the most prolific offenses in NFL history, the Packers opportunistic defense has been less than desirable; an Achilles heel so to speak that cost the Packers...

NFC Best? The NFC West Makes a Strong Super Bowl Case
“Offense wins games; defense wins championships.”Whether or not that’s how the phrase originally went is moot. Unless you’re the 1999 St. Louis Rams, simply outscoring the opponent with nothing but copious offensive firepower just doesn’t cut it. Many a quarterback with a 40 TD/8 INT season has been sniped in the playoff thicket by sharpshooter corners and artillery linemen...
Little Mistakes Add Up to Big Loss for Packers
There’s nothing worse than missing a game where the Green Bay Packers lose. Yes, it saves some heartache and keeps the remote control from flying across the room, but it’s disheartening to know that, when I go back and watch it, I’m only going to be disappointed. The one silver lining, however, is that the emotion has taken its course, and I can look at things a little more...
