ESPN’s Matthew Berry, aka The Talented Mr. Roto, and his annoying voice want to make it official – Jermichael Finley is irrelevant. He is being phased out of game plans on the field and he is being dropped and traded on the fantasy football virtual gridiron.
Or at least that is the suggestion:
“I’d trade Jermichael Finley for a bag of doughnuts. Or a small Slurpee. Or for my roomie to give me the remote for a half hour. He shouldn’t be on a roster in a 10-team league. Or a 12-teamer. And I can’t imagine how desperate I’d have to be to start him. Ugh.”
“…And now, like Jermichael Finley on a fantasy roster, away we go.”
“Tight Ends I hate in Week 11 – Jermichael Finley, Packers: Death, taxes, Jermichael drops.”
Ouch. I would really like to know what is going on in Ted Thompson’s head right now. There are five tight ends on the team and none are better than a “C” level.

Don’t Write Off Packers’ RB Alex Green
RB Alex Green still has value to the Packers this season.
It looks like James Starks has passed Alex Green on the Packers’ depth chart, but that doesn’t mean Green won’t get his opportunities.
Think back to when Ted Thompson drafted Green in the third round in 2011. Most people didn’t peg the Hawaii running back as a guy who’s going to carry the ball 25 times per game...

'60 Minutes': Rodgers is sensitive
Aaron Rodgers isn't a fan of how 60 Minutes portrayed him in a profile piece last week, but a producer says that shows how the Packers QB "tends to be overly sensitive."
'60 Minutes' fires back at Packers' Rodgers
Apparently "60 Minutes" isn't going to sit back and let Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers take shots at it without a response.After Rodgers told the Detroit media in a conference call on Wednesday that his feature story on "60 Minutes" was "cut for their purposes, their agenda," the CBS news magazine fired back at the NFL's Most Valuable...
Aaron Rodgers Won’t Tell us He’s Engaged
No comment T…
Aaron Rodgers spent last Saturday night watching his brother play quarterback for Vanderbilt University, but it was the ring on his girlfriend’s finger that ended up drawing attention to his personal life. We broke the engagement story about a month ago, but initially reported on it back in July “My personal life is my personal life,” Rodgers said. “It...
Packers coach sticks with Crosby
The Green Bay Packers are sticking with struggling kicker Mason Crosby.
Coach Mike McCarthy told reporters after the Packers' 24-20 victory over the Detroit Lions on Sunday that the team won't ''blink'' in its commitment to Crosby.
Crosby has missed seven of the 18 field goals he's attempted so far this season. His 61 percent accuracy rate is second...
Cedric Benson Targeting A Return In Week 15?
Packers RB Cedric Benson is aiming to return to the team around December 16, according to Jason Wilde of ESPN Wisconsin.
“Cedric had the opportunity to have some testing done (recently) and everything’s positive. His rehab has picked up,” said head coach Mike McCarthy. “We’ll see where we are next week. We don’t have a startup date exactly when he’s going to be ready...
Suddenly Wisconsin Media Pestering Aaron Rodgers About Engagement
We tried to warn Wisconsin media types last week that BC was about to dominate their asses on salacious sports/entertainment news. Then we broke the news that Ryan Braun was engaged to Larisa Fraser. A few outlets blew us off as just being some annoying, disgraceful blog that investigates stupid athlete relationship stories for pageviews.
Then, on Monday, we took two screencaps...
Williams Eager For Mega Challenge
Healthy and on his game, cornerback Tramon Williams will square off against wide receiver Calvin Johnson on Sunday. "Everyone around the league knows Calvin is one of the best in the game," Williams said.
Quick SPIN: No Timetable for Cedric Benson Return…
We get questions every week on whether or not owners should be holding onto Benson in hopes of playoff glory. Benson, who claims to be 65% and not in a hurry to return before he is healthy, is eligible to return in Week 14. Benson said he is very confident that he will return before the end of the year.
Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions: Week 11 NFL Pick
Green Bay Packers (6-3) at Detroit Lions (4-5)
I don’t think it’s possible to talk about the Packers without first talking about how bad their injury situation has gotten. Already missing stud middle linebacker Desmond Bishop and replacement DJ Smith for the season, the Packers have also put starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga and starting rush linebacker Nick Perry on injured...
Benson Probably Couple Weeks Away
Injured running back Cedric Benson is eligible to return to practice next week, but that seems unlikely. Plus, much more from a busy Friday at Lambeau Field.
Tramon Williams calls himself Optimus Prime, says Calvin Johnson pushed Richard Sherman around
Green Bay Packers cornerback Tramon Williams is apparently not very original. Earlier this week, Williams dubbed himself “Optimus Prime” in anticipation of his upcoming matchup against Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson, a.k.a. Megatron. That sounds awfully familiar.
A few weeks ago, Seattle Seahawks corner Richard Sherman changed his Twitter name to Optimus Prime for...

You still have plenty of time to set your rosters for Sunday. Take a few minutes and see if any of these guys are available.

In the Packers last game, Starks was handed the ball more times than starter Alex Green and is now reportedly the Packers’...
Lions Respect, But Don't Like Rival Packers
The Detroit Lions have watched Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers rise to league stardom on the field -- and off the field, with the endless "Discount Double Check" commercials. Although they have respect for their NFC counterparts, as one Lions defender stated, "there's no love lost between the two of us."
