Hall of Fame quarterback collapses during speech

Posted December 04, 2012 on AP on Fox
TEAMS: Green Bay Packers
Hall of Fame quarterback Bart Starr collapsed during a speech in Madison, Wis., on Tuesday. Conference organizers say he appears to be OK. The Green Bay Packers' former quarterback and coach finished speaking at the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority conference at Monona Terrace, then collapsed on stage. Authority spokesman Kevin Fischer says Starr then sat up and said he was fine. Fischer tells the Journal Sentinel (http://bit.ly/VjSiLi ) the 78-year-old Starr was speaking coherently and left the convention center with his wife, Cherry, got into a limo and was taken to the Dane County Regional Airport. Starr led the Packers to five NFL titles and two Super Bowl championships. He was Green Bay's head coach from 1975-83.

Packers atop division after 23-14 win over Vikes

Via AP on Fox  |  December 03, 2012
The Green Bay Packers are back atop the NFC North, and they have a very unlikely source to thank. Minutes after the Packers wrapped up their 23-14 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon, Seattle beat Chicago in overtime to drop the Bears back into a tie with Green Bay for the division lead. Yes, that would be the same Seattle team that stole a win from the Packers...

Jason Wilde reports that the Green Bay Packers have reached an agreement with their former running back Ryan Grant.

Muy Frio: Aaron Rodgers

Via Juan Elway  |  December 03, 2012
I drafted me first too Juan… In most fantasy leagues, Aaron Rodgers was the first QB taken and quite possibly the #1 overall pick. He started the year slowly as teams adjusted to the Packers pass attack, but then in a 6 week span he scored 24 or more points 5 out of 6 games. Rodgers is back in a funk with 3 straight games of 15 fantasy points or less. Of course if you are riding...
