Well, folks, the Green Bay Packers have blown another one, this time to the creamsicle-clad Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 38-28. It feels like the 1980's Packers-Buccaneers matchups which turned into horrible experiences of frustration, time and time again. Now, check out selected verbiage from the 20009 Packers' version of Bart Starr and ...

That's more like it, Packers. Your 31-3 broasting of the Browns, and the way you did it, was a lot better than the performance you provided against the lowly Lions. That's more like it. Last week, five sacks allowed on Aaron Rodgers. This time, zero. Of course, the fact you were able to run the ball 40 times for 202 yards helps. ...

Repeat after me: thank goodness they were playing the Lions. 13 penalties by green-and-gold clad heroes for 130 yards. Four calls against Chad Clifton by himself. Thank goodness they were playing the Lions. Five drives reaching the red zone. Only one breaks the goal line. Thank goodness they were playing the Lions. Aaron Rodgers threw for ...

Yes, Chad Ochocinco got his Lambeau Leap into the loving arms of orange-and-black clad Bengals fans. But the famous act he committed isn't the most critical Ochocinco-produced theme coming from today's 31-24 Packers loss to his Cincinnati Bengals. It's the words "Child, please." Those words could have been uttered who ...

Postgame 10:50 p.m. On the NBC postgame, Rodgers "to get a win, under these circumstances tonight, big for our team."  Jennings credits the poise of Rodgers and hard work in the offseason. 4th Quarter 10:42 p.m.  Bears' 3rd Drive  1:11 I see Hester move to an upback mode.  Reverse.  Reverse.  ...

Postgame 10:58 p.m. This isn't good.  B.J. Raji has a sprained ankle.  Coach McCarthy says they hope to know more Friday.  Please know about the injury not being serious. 4th Quarter 9:38 p.m.  Titans' 3rd Drive  6:23 "Man, is LP Field empty," says Larry.  Gee, I wonder ...

Had Ted Kennedy given a different response to a letter from a Packers head coach, it's possible Senator Ted Kennedy may have become Packers receiver Ted Kennedy. The senator's web site says that Kennedy, a senior right end for the Harvard football team in 1955, received a letter from Packers head coach Lisle Blackbourn. "You have ...

A web site that forecasts sporting events says that Aaron Rodgers will again outperform the purple-clad Brett Favre, and that the Packers have better than 50-50 odds of playing in mid-January.
