Good read about the NFL Labor Situation

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/03/03/20-questions-about-the-uncapped-year/

Nothing seems too brutal yet, but imagine if in 2011, no NFL is played?

Punter Please

Someone should be accountable. I watched all or most Packer games this past season, you are the primary reason for the lack of the inside the 20 production. I can think of maybe 5 times where it was the coverage fault. It was routine for the Packers to go three and out from around the 30, and for Kapinos to kick it to the other 30. That's horrible.

Packers tender everyone but Kapinos

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/03/03/packers-apply-tenders/

No one should be surprised at the players whom the Packers tender. The best news is no Kapinos. Perhaps Daryn College was a bit of a questionable move, but he was a second round pick, so its best to not lose him for nothing.

Packers one of the interested clubs in Badger O'Brien?

http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/85748082.html

O'Brien Schofield was a stud for the Badgers last fall. Not to mention, he always had a smile on his face. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL at the Senior Bowl, and now is likely to be selected toward the end of the draft. If the Packers are truly interested, it would mean a change in direction for a team that hasn't exactly teemed with Badgers over the years. Passing Chris Chambers for Robert Ferguson, Troy Vincent for Terell Buckley have haunted the Packers for years now. I always thought that Jack Ikegwuonu would do well in this league, and he had a knee injury as well, but Schofield measures much higher on the character and intangible scales than Jack ever did. I would take Schofield in the 5th round, stash him on IR (perhaps he can keep Justin Harrell company, let a medical professional track his rehab, and groom him into a solid 3-4 DE or OLB.

DeShawn Wynn not tendered

Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Joe McKnight?

Childress "pretty good"

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/26/childress-pretty-good-if-favre-has-same-timeline-as-last-year/

Well guess what Childress, Favre is going to take his sweet time. When you sell your soul to the devil, you have to deal with the heat. Favre is going to come back during training camp, for one reason, because he can.

Joe Thomas going to SE Asia?

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/25/four-players-heading-to-southwest-asia-for-uso-tour/

Sounds good to me. Joe Thomas is so good, and I'm not saying that because he is from Wisconsin, went to Wisconsin, and I have his jersey.

Take him Packers

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/21/myron-rolles-off-field-success-could-hurt-in-the-draft/

Rolle might score twice as well as Nick Collins did on the Wonderlic. I think the Packers should take him in the middle rounds. I am rooting for him, and so should you, but you don't have to, ha.

Favre on Leno

http://www.thejaylenoshow.com/backstage-with-bryan/updated-the-tonight-show-with-jay-leno-listings/

Another Ho-Hum day on Leno I presume. Ha. Two washed up egomaniacs, is your TV big enough?

Packers franchise Pickett

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/24/packers-franchise-pickett/

Sign him long term, da da dadada Sign him long term clap clap clapclapclap. At this point in their respective careers, Pickett is much better than Raji at the nose. With more seasoning, Raji IMO can still become a effective nose tackle in the 3-4. But for now, with the Packers thinking Super Bowl, the time is now.

Corey Williams is due some big money

http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d81689343&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true

Great move by Ted. Williams was Cletius Hunt II, and we got a 2nd round pick, from the Browns, for him.

Packers resign Special Teams Ace Martin

http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/85001657.html

Well there's one way to improve special teams, but yet another player who thinks they can play in the secondary but can't, yeah I'm talking to you Jarret Bush. Nice trade in September to get anything for Tony Moll.

Sharper not tagged

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/23/sharper-prepares-to-say-farewell-to-the-saints/

The Saints don't want you because you had a great half season and a mediocre second half. Darren worthless INTs and tackles 5 years past the 1st down marker Sharper has now entered the building ladies and gentleman.

Nick Barnett soundbite about Brett

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-network-total-access/09000d5d816861e5/NFC-North-outlook

"It's better for him to make the decision faster," Barnett said. "But I doubt that he's going to do that."

Nick, like Packer fans, know this trick all too well. Although he become something great during the season last year, he is still the same old Brett.

Collins to hold out for real?

http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_main.aspx?sport=NFL&line=167962&id=3194

I personally think that Collins is a tad overrated, but I think that he could become much better if we had a competent safety along side him, further allowing him to ball hawk. That said, his smooth transition to the 3-4 screams contract extension. Come on Ted, you build through the draft, and you drafted Collins. We know he is tremendous, but he is a B+ football player.

Jolly's court appearance delay again

http://new.wtaq.com/news/articles/2010/feb/18/court-hearing-packers-dt-jolly-postponed/

Now his court date is past the tender date. Great.

Troy Vincent jions the league office

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/18/troy-vincent-lands-with-league-office/

Still in disbelief that the Packers didn't draft him. Or Chris Chambers. Robert Ferguson, "Oy vey!?!"

Daniels might hold out?

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/18/owen-daniels-says-he-might-skip-training-camp/

Not a smart move by probably the best all-around Tight End, yes Jermichael, you must imporve you blocking. He has a torn ACL, no team is going to give you a huge contract until you at least prove you can still painstakingly plant your pivot foot. Just get your reps in, rehab well, and come back and set the league ablaze again.

Fat Williams is coming back

http://www.twincities.com/sports/ci_14418568

The Williams brothers, they aren't really brothers, have been a devastating DT combination for the Minnesota Vikings since they were brought together. Now, they should be back for another season, or what should be 75% of a season. They used StarCaps, which was a banned supplement, they got caught, and still haven't been suspended. Talk about an absurd rule. Won't be easy sledding for Ryan Grant again this season.

Last Packer Super Bowl punter retires

http://nashvillecitypaper.com/content/sports/hentrich-plans-announce-retirement

There are few players left from that magical 1996 Super Bowl champion Packers team, and now there may only be one. Craig Hentrich retired today at the age of 40. The Packers have had horrendous punters ever sense, Jeremy Kapinos, Jon Ryan, Derrek Frost and Josh Bidwell come to mind, or give me nightmares, and to think that Hentrich didn't even have an ACL? If only Brett would get the message.
