Aaron Rodgers Has A Pretty Good UFO Story
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was a recent guest on the You Made It Weird podcast with Pete Holmes, and he somehow ended up describing the time he apparently saw an alien spacecraft in the night sky over New Jersey....
Man, Vince Lombardi Really Dumped On The AFL After The First Super Bowl
One of those historic sports things I understand but don’t really get is the state of football leading up to the NFL-AFL merger. It was the first of the three big sports mergers over the next decade, and it’s absolutely alien to me: I’ve never lived through a successful competitor to a Big Four spor...
Report: Mike McCarthy Fed Up With Packers Management Refusing To Sign Free Agents
The Packers are notoriously skittish about signing free agents. They have signed a few big names over the years—Julius Peppers, Desmond Howard, Charles Woodson—but in general, they are committed to building through the draft. This is a great policy when it works (you’ll always have a cohesive, well-...
Mike McCarthy Says Eddie Lacy Needs To Lose Weight
It was a bad year for Packers running back Eddie Lacy, who entered the season as a young, rising star and spent it battling through injuries, briefly losing his starting job due to ineffectiveness, briefly losing it again after missing a curfew, and setting career lows in carries, yards, and touchdo...

Charles Woodson Says Marvin Harrison Was The Best Receiver He Played Against
Charles Woodson is retiring after tomorrow’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Over his 18 NFL seasons, he’s amassed 13 defensive touchdowns and 65 picks, good for first and fifth respectively (both in ties) of all time. He’s won a Super Bowl and is the last defensive player to win a Heisman trop...
The Arizona Cardinals Are Absurdly Deep
With a dodgy offensive line and an unreliable running game, the Packers haven’t been as strong as usual this year, but the Cardinals made them look like a fourth-place team on Sunday. Arizona pasted Green Bay in a 38-8 win that revealed why Bruce Arians’s team is so scary: Their depth chart is stack...
Oh No, Eddie Lacy
This is what happens when you try, Eddie Lacy. Never try. ...
Packers running back Eddie Lacy had five attempts for four yards and one catch for a loss of three yards in last night’s game. His lack of touches was due to him missing curfew on Wednesday, according to ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. Running back Alonzo Harris also missed curfew; he was cut before the game. ...
The Facemask Penalty On The Lions Was The Right Call In The Moment
This will sound self-contradictory and bring consolation to absolutely no one, but the facemask call that extended the game and gave the Packers the chance to win on a hail mary was the wrong call—and one that no official should be blamed for making....
No One Has Ever Seen A Hail Mary Like Aaron Rodgers's
The thing that stands out, amid all the craziness in Green Bay’s miracle 27-23 win, is just how damn high that pass went. It flew about 70 yards in the air, from Aaron Rodgers to Richard Rodgers, a heave that not many quarterbacks are capable of, but it’s the height of the thing, more mortar than mi...
Aaron Rodgers Shocks Lions On Untimed Down With Hail Mary Winner
An untimed down due to a facemask penalty on what should have been the final play of the game allowed Aaron Rodgers to find Richard Rodgers in the end zone 61 yards away to give the Packers an incredible 27-23 victory. The Lions defense, which had made Aaron Rodgers look merely average on the evenin...
"Ah, Fuck!"
If only Aaron Rodgers realized he would suffer an injured wrist moments after this, he might have come up with an even more profane ejaculation....
Apparently, You <i>Can</i> Wear A Hoodie Under An NFL Jersey
This is the NFL, where you will get fined for wearing the wrong cleats, or eye black, or headphones, or baseball cap. So when Packers WR James Jones played the entire 30-13 win over the Vikings with a hoodie on underneath his jersey, most everyone figured he’d have to cut a check to pay for his cozi...
Aaron Rodgers's Throwing Shoulder Is "Banged Up"
If this doesn’t fully explain Aaron Rodgers’s (relative) struggles this season, it sure goes a hell of a lot further than hypotheticals about his girlfriend. Rodgers appeared on the injury report for the first time this week with an unspecified injury to his right shoulder, and since there was no ob...
Olivia Munn Doesn't Appreciate Being Mentioned As A Possible "Off-Field Issue"
ESPN’s Rob Demovsky wrote an article titled “Five reasons why quarterback Aaron Rodgers is struggling,” in which he tries to figure out why the Packers’ star quarterback hasn’t been his impeccable self in the last few games. The reasons Demovsky gives range from perfectly reasonable—Jordy Nelson is ...
Aaron Rodgers Criticizes Packers Fan Who Screamed "MUSLIMS SUCK!" During Moment Of Silence
Morons at Lambeau Field interrupted yesterday’s league-mandated moment of silence for Paris terrorism victims with all manner of ejaculations, including “MUSLIMS SUCK!” (We isolated a crowd-level audio feed of the moment in the above video.) Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers addressed the remark in ...
