Most of the time, when someone compares a person to Michael Jordan, it’s meant to flatter. Seattle Seahawks defensive end Cliff Avril, however, found a way to do that without implying greatness, when he said in an interview with Gregg Bell of the News Tribune that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the Michael […]

For the first time in his NFL career, former Pro Bowl running back Eddie Lacy will be taking the field in a regular season game not wearing a Green Bay Packers uniform. Lacy will be doing so with the Seattle Seahawks, with the season opener against the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. This has […]

The Green Bay Packers made some changes during the NFL offseason. The team brought in a new tight end in Martellus Bennett and to replace Eddie Lacy Green Bay is converting wideout Ty Montgomery to running back. Although it isn’t an easy transition to go from wide receiver to running back, Montgomery seems to have […]

New L.A. Clippers forward Sam Dekker could be making $1.8 million this upcoming season (his third in the NBA), but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t face the mundane problems that everyone else faces every once in a while. As it turns out, Dekker had some problem with his sink pipes, so instead of looking at […]

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a unique position in the NFL as one of the most visible faces under a helmet every Sunday, but being one of the elite-caliber gunslingers doesn’t exactly net him the powers an NBA star has in this day and age. The 33-year-old is coming off another dominant season […]

NFL fans have much reason to rejoice with the start of the regular season just a week away. Players are just as psyched to return to the field, but it seems that two receivers from from the Green Bay Packers are having more fun in the waning days of the offseason than most. Wide receivers […]

Earlier this week, the Detroit Lions made news by signing quarterback Matthew Stafford to a historic contract. Stafford is now the highest-paid player in the NFL with others like Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers waiting to get their new deals. Rodgers, who goes head-to-head against Stafford twice a year in the NFC North, […]

The Green Bay Packers have a reputation for treading lightly in the free agent market, but when they identify the right guy to fill a need, Ted Thompson has no problem pulling the trigger. Take former Chicago Bears and New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett, for example. That was the case again on Wednesday […]

Through the first three weeks of the preseason, Los Angeles Rams second-year quarterback Jared Goff has shown some encouraging signs through his play on the field. In light of that, Gary Klein of the LA Times is reporting that head coach Sean McVay has decided that Goff will not play in Thursday’s preseason finale against […]

New York Jets fans seem to be anticipating yet another disappointing season, for good reason. The team has lost an abundance of talented players and have now conceded to rebuilding. What if I told you the Jets could be palatable to watch this season by solving two big problems? Currently, the Jets have Josh McCown, […]

Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers is set to enter his 13th year in the NFL, which logged plenty of mileage on his arm up to this point of his career. Although there haven’t been any concerns stemming from any arm issues, Rodgers is hoping that the break away from throwing could pay him […]

After parting ways with the Kansas City Chiefs following nine seasons with the team, veteran running back Jamaal Charles was given a second chance by the division rival Denver Broncos. Although Charles was once considered to be the best back in the NFL, the four-time Pro Bowler is simply hoping to land another job in […]

Legacy. We hear this word get tossed around a lot, especially in the world of sports. But what does it mean? If you really think about the term, it is very subjective and relative. The only way to figure this out is to use a point of reference. Before we get into that, let’s address […]

Stephen Curry has made the most of this short offseason by indulging in his favorite hobby — golf. But it wouldn’t make any justice to have one of the best arm talents playing at the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament, Aaron Rodgers, and not be able to catch a long pass traced by the […]

It’s been a long and winding road, but we’ve finally made it to the NFL’s Wild Card playoffs. On Saturday, one of the best tournaments in sports will finally kick off. Unfortunately, injuries to key players have dimmed the excitement for a few teams. The Raiders‘ grand return to the postseason after 14 years away […]

Time flies by when you having fun. It’s hard to believe, but we’re already in the final week of the regular season, and there are plenty of NFL playoff scenarios left to sort out. A lot was decided in Week 16, though. The Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans, Indianapolis Colts, and Denver Broncos were all eliminated […]

Packers fans can easily remember back to the end of the 2014 season and Green Bay’s playoff run. They had to defeat Detroit to win the NFC North and clinch a bye in Week 17, and with a narrow lead at the end of the first half, Aaron Rodgers went down. Fans immediately feared that […]

With only four weeks remaining in the 2016 NFL regular season, a number of teams are still fighting for the final playoff spots. At the moment, only the Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, Oakland Raiders, and Seattle Seahawks can feel confident as postseason participants (Dallas has already clinched a spot). The rest of the field […]

With their season on the line, the Green Bay Packers brought perhaps their best effort of the year in a 27-13 victory over the Eagles. Aaron Rodgers, who has performed at a high level despite the team’s struggles over the last few weeks, shined once again, completing 30 of 39 passes for 313 yards and […]

The reassertion of Jordy Nelson into Green Bay’s lineup has undoubtedly been a huge boost for the Packers. He’s currently on pace to gain over 1,000 yards through the air for the fourth time in his career, and he already has seven touchdowns. But, just because the numbers are there doesn’t mean Nelson has played […]

It was only a couple of years ago that Aaron Rodgers urged Packers fans to relax after a slow start. Sure enough, that Packers squad went on to the NFC Championship game, and was on the verge of a Super Bowl appearance. Rodgers had a much different tone on Sunday. The Packers fell to 4-4 […]

The Green Bay Packers are 25th in average offensive yards per game, with most of the struggles coming from the passing game. A number of factors have contributed to the dip in production, but most of the blame is directed at Aaron Rodgers. The former MVP and Super Bowl champion has dazzled fans and opposing […]

One of the few bright spots for the Green Bay Packers‘ offense has been the running of Eddie Lacy. Unfortunately, he just can’t stay on the field. Lacy has regularly been pulled off the field every few plays to receive treatment on a nagging ankle injury. It’s previously been reported as a sprain, but it […]

The Green Bay Packers offense has disappointed with their production this season, and a lot of the blame has fallen on the shoulders of Aaron Rodgers. The former MVP has seen his completion percentage and overall output drop immensely, which has shocked many experts considering the dynamic play that we’ve witnessed from him previously. It […]

Last week was a frustrating one for Jared Cook, on and off the field. First, he injured his ankle and is expected to be out for the next four-to-six weeks. Then, while trying to enjoy chicken wings from Buffalo Wild Wings, Cook discovered a chicken head. In response, PETA decided to try and persuade Cook […]

Eddie Lacy was gashing the New York Giants‘ defense on Sunday night, averaging about eight yards per carry while bullying through defenders. Then, he came off the field gingerly. Lacy hurt his ankle, forcing him to miss the rest of the game for the Packers. Luckily, head coach Mike McCarthy doesn’t believe the injury is […]

It’s been a frustrating first season in Green Bay for Jared Cook. An ankle injury this past weekend will likely keep Cook out for four-six weeks. In the three games he has played, Jared only has a total of six catches; not exactly the kind of production the Packers were hoping for when they signed […]

We’re only two games into the 2016 NFL season. There’s still plenty of time for teams to figure out their problems and fix them by the end of the year. But, it’s still frustrating when you’re struggling out of the gate, and especially when the media is letting you know about it. That appears to […]

The White Mamba is back terrorizing ESPN’s offices, this time with former Green Bay Packers standout Greg Jennings prior to their appearance in SportsNation. In the video below, Brian Scalabrine and Jennings share a few laughs at the expense of some of ESPN’s employees, as they go from floor to floor with a portable basketball hoop […]
