Hard Times for Frederick “Fuzzy” Thurston
With little for Packers fans to do these days than watch Game of Thrones and pray there’s actually a football season next year to defend their title as Football Champions of the World, the only real news out the last few weeks is a rather sad story. Frederick “Fuzzy” Thurston apparently owes the tax man [...]

Vikings vs. Packers: Oh My
Sunday October 24th has been circled on both Packers and Vikings fans calendars for months now, with all the waiting and anticipation coming to a frothy head in just a day. It’s not like Packers fans and players needed any more motivation to get fired up for the game, but we can’t wait to see [...]

The Colored Glasses Come Off
Green & Gold punch is a powerful concoction — it must be to have kept Lambeau Field sold out through the 1970s and 80s — but for this season, at least, that elixir’s spell has worn off for me. The loss last Sunday to the Panthers was a little too much and there’s a little [...]

Vegans at Lambeau?
I’m not sure how I should feel about this, but PETA recently named Lambeau Field one of the top five vegetarian-friendly stadiums in the NFL. While it’s nice to see the historic stadium recognized, should we be worried that they’re serving too much tofu up in brats and beer country?

With the 24-21 loss to the Texans, the time for excuses is over. How do you let Houston beat you in the cold of Lambeau Field? How do you come up with four turnovers but still lose the game?
Today’s loss, like last week against Carolina, came down to the final minute and once again the [...]

Is It That Bad?
The Packers’ season is all but over at this point and there’s not a lot left for us fans to do but to wait to see what moves Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy make during the offseason. But is it really so bad that at packergeeks they’re posting about the Vikings?

Gene Chizik Has Left The Building
“At the end of the day, I’ve got to do what’s best for my family and myself.” Like get the heck out of Dodge (or rather Ames) while the getting is good.

Do It For Donald
Lori Nickel of the Journal Sentinel has an excellent article about Donald Driver and his spectacular career in Green Bay. DD says he plans on playing for five more years and just wants to get to the Super Bowl. Obviously as fan I have my own selfish reasons for wanting the Packers to get to [...]

James Jones: Another Good Guy
At the end of a disappointing season, some “stars” in the NFL might be interested only in their own stats — or worse yet throw their teammates under the bus for not contributing enough. Not so with Packers wide reciever James Jones. After an injury-riddled year, his frustration is that he couldn’t make more plays [...]

The House Cleaning Begins
First Monday of the New Year and the Packers make some big staff moves, mainly moving people out. Six — count ‘em — six assistants were fired this morning, including Bob Sanders and a good chunk of his defensive underlings. Secondary coach Kurt Schottenheimer was let go, which has been a long time coning, but [...]
