Aaron Rodgers has put on an imaginary championship belt after each touchdown this season. Here Clay Matthews has a real one for him (pic from ESPN.com)...

I’m still in that euphoric phase where I’m a little dumbfounded that this is actually happening, so forgive my ramblings! Heading in to this season, it was clear that the Packers had the pieces to put together a championship season, but 11 players on the IR later, it seemed less likely that the team could put together a playoff run. You’ll remember, the Packers lost to the Lions this seaso...

Can't believe the two big receivers for the Packers have been Jordy Nelson and Jermichael Finley.Also can't believe that the O-Line sucks as much this season as they did the last. I mean, it was obviously going to be rough, but at least last season you knew that the line was bad. After the preseason, we had no idea the line would be as porous as it is. I know that a lot of it has to do with mis...

In a lot of ways, I’m super excited the Packers have the Bears the first week of the season because it will be a very early indication of whether or not this team is for real.After each impressive preseason win it got harder and harder not to jump on the “Super Bowl or Bust” bandwagon. It’s been very difficult to find a balance between being overly optimistic and being a complete Nega...

If this is true, it’s seriously one of the oddest sports crossovers I’ve heard in awhile. American Idol top 3 contestant Danny Gokey is from Milwaukee and he’s in town today to get footage for Idol to show during next week’s show. They call it hometown heroes and the contestants go back home and do parades and performances. Danny will be at the Harley stage at the Summerfest grounds and wi...

Stop me if you've heard this one before...The Packers dominate a game, both in points and possession, fail to score all the points they should, have a fourth quarter lead and fail to bring home a victory. I believe yesterday was the sixth loss of four points or less on the season. Had the Packers won just half those games - or really, even just a third - the NFC North playoff picture would look co...

  Having learned nothing from jumping the gun on Ryan Grant, the Packers have extended Aaron Rodgers' contract for 6 years. Look - he's been pretty damn good so far, and I'm totally grateful for that. But he still hasn't proved he isn't the Packers equivalent of Ben Sheets "The Man of Glass." It's great that Rodgers has been playing through the pain - but still. It's been 7 games. I'd love to se...

I try not to do too much horn-tooting, but this is a big shot for me to reach a bigger audience, so I'm passing on the link. If you'd like to, click. If not, no big deal. No pressure!   My packers thoughts on the game Sunday night...Are written at my (hopefully) new gig as the Packers columnist over at Real GM.Go here and read it. Comment. Tell your friends. Get me traffic. Thanks!...

From Kevin Seifert's NFC North Blog on ESPN.comRodgers is comfortable enough with the Packers' playbook that he has been able to improvise a touchdown out of a busted alignment on at least one occasion, displaying the instincts and moxie that made Favre so successful.Early Sunday in Detroit, Rodgers walked to the line of scrimmage and noticed running back Brandon Jackson was lined up on the wrong ...

Aaron Rodgers is the man.And Mike Tirico is also the man for telling Kornheiser he was wrong and to stop talking about Favre last night. Kornheiser continued to insist he wasn't the one making it a story, that it's all anyone could talk about and therefore he was talking about it - but his broken record was ridiculous and the rest of us just really wanted to enjoy the game. Thank you Mike Tirico f...
