The Packers will have to cut the current 90 man roster down to 53 for the season's start in just a few weeks and one of the players who's destiny is in the air is Donald Driver. There are currently 12 men fighting for five or six WR spots on that final roster. It seems a foregone conclusion that guys like Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, Randall Cobb and James Jones are already penned onto that final ...

When it came down to whether to sign Cedric Benson, a back with no home and a slightly shady past, or Ryan Grant, who'd put in many years with the team, the Packers chose Benson. The rumor is that the team was worried Grant wouldn't be able to live up to expectations and wanted to keep him from suffering the indignity of being released. Benson spent the off-season as a free agent and didn't get th...

The new NFL CBA mandates no two-a-days, but otherwise the recently released Packers training camp schedule looks like it has in year's past. Mike McCarthy talked about eliminating night practices - something he'd himself instituted a few years ago. Those practices are super-popular with the fans and apparnetly that was enough to convince McCarthy they should stick around. With all the Packers' pre...

Reader's Digest, the known authority of sports, has compiled a list of the best football stadiums. The list ranges from high school to pro stadiums and Wisconsin holds two spots and a third in an honorary sort of way. Not a bad way to represent, Badger State! The list includes Camp Randall, Lambeau Field and the Rose Bowl, but Wisconsin is in great company with Notre Dame Stadium, The Big House an...

Who says the Packers didn't win a championship this year? Last week Donald Driver, with help from Packer Backers around the country, was voted to the title in "Dancing With the Stars." But grabbing the Mirror Ball...

Call the Observers what you will—traitors to the American way, apostates to the great creed of sports fandom—but the NFL's annual pageant for restocking its rosters...

The Packers drafted a total of 8 players during the draft - I blogged about Nick Perry again, so the others are Jerel Worthy, DT, Michigan State Second Round (51) Casey Hayward, CB, Vandebilt Second Round (62) Mike Daniels, DT, Iowa Fourth Round (132) Jerron McMillian, C, Maine Fourth Round (133) Terrell Manning, ILB, NC State Fifth Round (163) Andrew Datko, OT, Florida State Seventh Round (241) B...

Pre-draft reports on Perry are somewhat spotty - he'll have to transition from DE to a 3-4 OLB, but current Packer OLBs Jamari Lattimore, Vic So'oto, Frank Zombo and Erik Walden were all college DEs, so position coach Kevin Greene does have experience helping guys through the transition. Scouting reports say that Perry is explosive, but did gain a lot of leverage from having his hand on the ground...

Call it the Final Five: the hours it took for Wisconsin's agonizing one-point loss to Syracuse, followed by Marquette's cold-shooting exit against Florida. A sudden ending just two steps short of the Final Four always stirs the...

The Packers received four compensatory draft picks - two in the fourth round and two in the seventh round - as a cumulative recompense for the loss of free agents following the end of last season. The free agents lost are Daryn Colledge, Cullen Jenkins, Brandon Jackson and Jason Spitz. The overall number of the picks is 132, 133, 241 and 243. These four picks will be added to the seven picks th...
