Packers last Wednesday game came nearly a century ago

The NFL has successfully invented a new timeslot with the Packers and Rams playing on “Thanksgiving Eve” this year.  And though a game on the night before Thanksgiving might be a new phenomenon, it’s not the first time the Packers have played on a Wednesday. Buckle up, because this is a weird one. Though it’s […]

The Packers are playing some interesting financial games

The Packers’ way of doing business is so dyed-in-the-wool it’s hard not to notice when they’re doing things differently.  And sometimes different feels bad. Weird. Uncomfortable. Reckless, even. Especially when money’s involved. First, the Packers spent $500,000 just for a look at Trevon Diggs, the former All-Pro cornerback for the Dallas Cowboys. One meaningless regular […]

Packers fail TE Luke Lachey’s physical

Tight end Luke Lachey, whom the Green Bay Packers picked up off waivers on Tuesday, had his physical failed by the team on Thursday and is now a free agent.

The NFL’s schedule release is more than just a list

Before we get started, yes, it is ridiculous that the NFL turns the RELEASE of the SCHEDULE into some big hairy deal that you will watch on TV. In the universal perspective, nothing could be more banal than the release of a list that is already made and out there! However… The NFL schedule is […]

Green Bay Packers News: The Packers are a test case for streaming 

It’s schedule release day — or as my podcast cohost Alex Petakas sarcastically refers to it: “the day we learn the days.” No doubt you’ll be inundated with schedule-related content, so I thought I’d offer a slightly different take on a related topic.  On Wednesday, the NFL announced that the Packers will face the Los Angeles […]

As part of the NFL’s slow-dripping of its schedule release, the league announced its full international schedule on Wednesday.

With the release of kicker Brandon McManus, the Green Bay Packers’ offseason roster currently sits at 89 players, including their international exemption for defender Dante Barnett.
