Green Bay Packers Draft “Needs” A Phrase You Should Use Cautiously
By: Zach Kruse
If you’re a Green Bay Packers fan, you probably have a pretty good feel for the way GM Ted Thompson goes about his business.
For starters, he doesn’t overpay for big name free agents. That has frustrated fans in the past, but I think most have come around on this part of his management strategy. Thompson’s other most visible principle is his use of the draft...

Asomugha Wish Won’t Come True

Remember five years ago when The Packers signed then-free agent cornerback Charles Woodson to a big, fat contract? Most of Packer Nation, including myself, said, “Um, what the hell is wrong with Ted Thompson?”
Yeah, sorry about that, Ted. Good call, man.
Guess what? Now there are a few rumblings that free agent, all-world corner Nnamdi Asomugha may be...

Will Donald Driver be Back?
By Kevin Gibson
Donald Driver, you just got your first Super Bowl ring in your memorable 12-year NFL career: What’s next?
Good question.
Green Bay’s elder statesman has indeed had one heckuva career, and he’s signed for two more years of a total $17.8 million contract. However, at age 36, he’s clearly on the decline, having just completed what stands statistically as his...

Thanks, Packers; It’s Good to be 9 Again
By Kevin Gibson
As I stood alone, staring into the television at the aftermath of the Green Bay Packers’ Super Bowl victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, I was 9 again, just for a few moments.
It was age 9 when I became a Packers fan; my youth league team was called the Packers so, hey, I had to root for the “big” team, right? After all, I was now part of the family. I was...

Driver is Reason Enough to be a Packers Fan
By Kevin Gibson
As a Packers fan for 35 years, I’ve seen everything from Super Bowl campaigns to scabs to the forgettable Randy Wright era (although I cheered for Wright as much as I ever did Brett Favre — maybe more). Still, few Packers have been easier to cheer for than wide receiver Donald Driver.
Donald Driver is perhaps the easiest Packer for whom to root.
When Favre...

Pro Bowl, Schmo Bowl – Packers Have Better Things To Do
It’s Pro Bowl Game Day and all I have to say is: Whoopie!.. no, seriously, big deal. I say that for two reasons, 1) The Packers are preparing for Super Bowl XLV and those who were or weren’t nominated have much better things to do with their time, and 2) I’ve been in Hawaii for Pro Bowl week and for the game.. let me tell you, it’s NOT a real game.
