Hello Packer Nation!
If there is one thing no one is fond of, it is loss of life. While we all know we cannot live for eternity, it still doesn't make it easy when people we know or follow are lost. The best thing we can do is remember the good times and cherish the memories they left. http://www.nfl.com/photoessays/0ap3000001026242
We've all seen Ty Dunne's article about the apparent disfunction of the M.A.T. regime (MAT = Mike, Aaron & Ted). For those who live under a rock or have chosen to stay above what many have considered tabloid journalism, please CLICK HERE to see the article.
Hello Packer Nation!
I am sure we have all followed (or at least heard about) the McCarthy/Rodgers drama. While the drama is all fine and dandy material for the National Enquirer, I have to question how much we want to rehash this topic. I will keep this short because, personally, that is all the time I feel is worth devoting to this topic.
Things are happening with APP and the team! We are working on making the podcast and collective experience better for all our fans out there.
Hey Hey Packer Nation!
We are days from the beginning of the 2019 league year. That means the NFL calendar starts over and teams will figure out ways to improve their teams starting on March 13th. The Packers should be involved in the free agency frenzy. Free agency involvement is something fans are not used to when Ted Thompson preached building his teams through the draft. New GM Brian Gutenkunst has shown he is not cut from the same cloth.
Hello Packer Nation!
Wow, what a year! Are we happy that 2018 season is over with? Like many fans, it would be wise to assume we are all happy to move on to bigger and better things. But, what does that all mean? Let's examine what the upcoming offseason has in store.
Hey Packer Nation! In light of today’s events, most importantly the firing of head coach Mike McCarthy after the teams 20-17 loss at home to Arizona, we need to be thankful for the success McCarthy brought to Titletown during his 13 year career as head coach of the Packers. Let’s recap;
Hello Packer Nation!
The 2018 off season started off with a bang for the Packers, uncharacteristic of years past but well overdue. Changes started at the top and worked down into the coaching staff. Ted Thompson was relieved of his GM duties. Eliot Wolf and Alonzo Highsmith took a "red eye" to Cleveland. Dom Capers received his long awaited walking papers. Edgar Bennett, Darren Perry, Mike Trgovac and Alex Van Pelt were told their services were no longer needed.
The fact that the actual genesis of this entire discussion was born of a quasi "paid-patriotism" business model between the US govt and the NFL basically tells you everything - none of this anthem celebration business was pure, true patriotic spontaneity between the league, owners and teams.
"What in the hell...?!"
Those were my exact words when I heard the Packers drafted a punter in the 5th round in the 2018 NFL Draft. I had horrible flashbacks to one BJ Sander, a punter that Mike Sherman traded up to draft in the early 2000s who, as it turns out, could not punt. A punter who cannot punt is an issue.
