Last year Ragnar demanded $20,000 per game from the Vikings to be their mascot. I thought it was in their best interest to pay the man. He was the only respectable thing on the Vikings and you would have to pay me close to $500,000 per game to go watch that horrible team 8 times…
Growing up in Titletown, I used to always look forward to the Packers fence (singular) along Lombardi Avenue getting a new slogan. They were punny and fun, now they just suck. They have something like ‘through something and pain the pack will reign’. one is a comic of Eddie Lacy as the hulk and he…

Close your eyes. Go ahead, close ’em. Picture owning a piece of Packers history. Imagine owning game apparel from the historic, 1996 World Championship season. Apparel that was used in the mud bowl game in the divisional playoffs against the 49ers. Apparel that was used on the same the turf that they sold afterwards for…
Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties ’cause it’s cooooold out there today. It occurred to me that the Packers draft day is much like Groundhogs Day. I swear we draft this same guy every single year. Apparently the Packers have been so impressed with Datone Jones that they needed his clone. How…
The Sweet Sixteen is here; and teams are playing to get to the elite 8. But what about all the other numbers? Luckily, I’ve made a chart for you to reference. NCAA Tournament Names 1 Only 1 2 Tremendous 2 3 Terrific 3 4 Final 4 5 Fantastic 5 6 Superior 6 7 Stunning 7…
Hi fellow beard lovers, Jason here. After a crushing overtime playoff defeat at the hands of the Cardinals I did the noble yet painful thing of shaving Samson, the playoff beard. Were their tears? Sure. But fear not, just like Frosty the Snowman comes back every winter, Samson will be back for next season. For…
As the 2015 has come to an end, it’s already time to start looking forward to some of the new faces that will be part of the team next year. Below is a comprehensive list of all of the potential free agents that could quite possibly be joining the Packers this year: (crickets)
I’m sure we’ve all heard by now that at his end of the year press conference, Mike McCarthy said that Eddie Lacy has to be in better shape next year if he wants to be part of the team. I never really noticed him being out of shape before because I am a beard expert,…
Back in 2010/11, I started a tradition before the game against the Eagles of by creating a playlist of the best EDM and 80’s progressive rock / soundtrack/ montage that I would loop all weekend. I want to share my list with you so that you can join in. Sandstorm by Darude This is really the most…
I can still smell the late Autumn bon fires and hear the crunching of the leaves. The Packers were 6-0 and had the world by it’s balls. Then they had a bye week and most of the players went, “bye”. Since that time, they have gone 4-6. So what happened during that bye week? I…
If you’re a frequent visitor to this site, you know I’m a big, big fan of Andrew Quarless, otherwise known as “God’s Gift”. He is such a dynamic playmaker that it’s easy to see why he has stuck around for 6 years. Don’t believe me? Let’s look at the facts. Almost Scoreless Without Quarless During…
