My first year of watching football was 1989. Chris Jacke was the first kicker I had ever known. I knew he was a rookie but I never thought much about how he got there or why the Packers used a draft pick on him. I came to find out that 1988 was a terrible year…
The Packers have the 28th pick in the 2022 NFL draft (assuming they don’t trade it). If history is any indication, they will use the pick on a defensive player. The Packers have picked 28th on five different occasions and have selected a defensive lineman twice, a defensive back twice, and a guard. Let’s take…
Now that the 2021 season is officially over for the Packers, it’s time to turn our attention to 2022 à la Bill Belichick. Below is my first mock schedule including playoffs. Yes, I think the Packers will once again have the #1 seed but this time the make it to the Super Bowl where the…
Mina Kimes had a question earlier this week about your goofiest sports take that you actually kind of believe and I feel passionately about mine: getting rid of the NFL draft. What's your goofiest sports take that you actually kind of believe? Mine is: If the Bills want to truly get the most out of…
Before everyone realized that Matt Nagy was a terrible head coach, he had a very promising start. Everyone was impressed with his bald head and visor combo and how he was going to turn Mitch Trubisky into the next Rex Grossman. One of the things that commentators and media pundits loved early on was that…
Everyone used to have a nickname back in the good ole days so I wanted to recreate those simpler times by giving each NFL Head Coach a nickname. AFC East Sean “Opie” McDermott Buffalo Bills Vacant Miami Dolphins “Cheatin” Bill Belichick New England Patriots Robert “In Over My Bald Head” Saleh New York Jets AFC…
There are still 12 teams in the NFL that have never won a Super Bowl (4 have never even been to a Super Bowl). Will their luck change this year? Probably not, but just for shits and grins, I’m going to rank how likely each of those 12 teams will come to bringing home their…
If I am to believe the thought leaders in LinkedIn, everything is about branding. With this in mind, I think Lambeau Field needs a new nickname. The Frozen Tundra worked for a while but I think we need something fresh and non-redundant. Ohio State’s stadium is called the horseshoe. In the early 90’s, they called…
I know this next stat I am about to throw out seems hard to believe but no Quarterback in the league has beaten a team with a winning record this year. Not Brady. Not Mahomes. Not Stafford. In fact, every team that they’ve beaten so far is winless on the year. I think this proves…
When Browns receiver Rashard Higgins fumbled out of the endzone in the AFC Divisional playoff game against the Chiefs, and the Chiefs therefore gaining possession, Twitter lit up with people calling it the worst rule in the NFL. I disagree. It makes sense if you understand how the NFL feels about plays that occur in…
Brian Gutekunst received a lot of criticism this past year by not drafting a wide receiver early on in the draft. The familiar theme of dejected Packers fans seemed to be that they were one playmaker away from reaching the Super Bowl and that we could have found one in the draft. This made me…
Someone needs to check in on the GOAT. I follow him on Twitter and for as good as he was on the field, he equally bad behind his screen. He hits us with the most room temperature takes. Look at this scorcher I’m going to say it people!!!!Tiger Woods is baccccccccck!!!! — jerryrice (@JerryRice) March…
