The Journal-Sentinel is also reporting that Aaron Kampman has a torn ACL, though they have said those reports are unconfirmed....

This seemed like the likely outcome, but it still hurts to hear - the freak play that happened far from the action late in Sunday afternoon's game has resulted in an injury that will keep Al Harris from playing the rest of the season. No more news, yet. But Nick Barnett just tweeted about it: NickBarnett Bad news!!! Lost al this whole season   According to the Journal-Sentinel, a website part-own...

Clearly as frustrated as the fans were by the two recent embarrassing losses to the Vikings and He Who Shall Not Be Named, Cullen Jenkins became the second Packers defenseman to tell the media he's not so happy with what has long been the vaunted change to the 3-4 defense under new coordinator Dom Capers.Jenkins said he and others felt "handcuffed" by the new scheme. These comments come on the hee...

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...

...when even the ref is trying to keep from laughing at you.......

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.

Wrote this down during the Vikings preseason game last week - aka, the return of the Favremonster - and put the note in a drawer and forgot about it. But it's just too good not to share - Ari Wolfe, a local play-by-play guy in MN, said "As far as I'm concerned, the Vikings took 43 sacks last year - that's unconscionable. Having Brett Favre there will reduce that number by one-third." So a...

A few of us here at the Shepherd have a fantasy football league and we had our draft tonight.   Here's my team:   ...

Peter King  >  INSIDE THE NFLFavre fools us once againI give up.All along, Brett Favre's decision was supposed to be simple. He had surgery in late May on a nagging biceps tendon in his throwing arm for one reason -- to clear the last hurdle toward playing a 19th year in the NFL. And his surgeon, the noted James Andrews, told him he was making splendid progress and he'd be fine and be able to th...
