Other than President of the United States, there’s probably no more prestigious position in our country than an owner of a professional sports team. Sure, there are jobs that may offer a higher salary or more exposure, but owning a team is the top of the heap.
Read MoreSunday night marked Aaron Rodgers’ ninth time starting the final game of the regular season. In his previous eight, the superstar quarterback completed 70% of his passes and averaged 280 passing yards and two touchdowns.

Green Bay evened the all-time series in the NFL’s oldest rivalry, beating Chicago 30-27. Mason Crosby’s 32-yard field goal as time expired stopped a furious Bears comeback and put the Packers in the driver’s seat for an NFC North title.
Read MoreIf you’re looking for a scapegoat for the Packers’ sluggish season, it’s not Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers was in rare form on Monday night.
Read MoreIn the midst of a four-game losing streak, the Green Bay Packers enter Monday night’s game as a five point underdog. Since 2011’s 15-1 season, Green Bay has been an underdog 20 times (with tonight being the 21st), winning outright in just 4 contests.
Read MoreSeveral different media sources have pointed out that the Packers haven’t seen a four game stretch this terrible since 1953. Let’s comfort ourselves by pointing and laughing at a team that was so hapless that it managed to post separate losing streaks of three and five games.
Read MoreIt’s been overshadowed by some extra-insane happenings in Seattle, but the Packers and Cowboys may have one of the weirder rivalries in the NFL.
Read MoreSunday night's prime-time tilt with New York reminded me in many ways of the end of the 2011 season, with the Giants attempting to derail the Packers' offensive attack by dropping seven, rushing four, and hoping Aaron Rodgers wouldn't be able to thread the needle against a horde of defensive backs.
Read MoreI want this one. I want it bad. Surprisingly, this is the first time since 1924 that the Packers have played their first two games on the road, but it’s already the second time the Packers and Vikings have christened a new or renovated stadium together.
Read MoreMonday’s prime time flop featuring the 49ers and Rams was undeniably bad, but the Packers have been involved in a few stinkers of their own, including one of the worst Monday Night Football losses ever.
Read MoreIt was good. It was bad. It was beautiful. It was ugly. It was perfectly executed. It was sloppy. It was Week 1.
Read MoreI would say these aren’t your father’s Jaguars, but they’ve only been around for 21 years. These aren’t the Jaguars you grew up with. The Jaguars might actually be a competently run football team now.
Read MoreHere it is: preseason game number four. It should have been number five, but the turf in Canton saw to the end of that idea. No, here we are at the fourth and final preseason game, and I am glad.
Read MoreThroughout the offseason and training camp (and even back to late last season), a narrative has steadily emerged: John Crockett is doing good things for the Packers. However, third string running backs simply do not matter to the Packers.
Read MoreBody language is overrated, until it’s not. Watching from hundreds, if not thousands, of miles away, it’s easy to project your own feelings onto a player’s reactions on the field. I’m pretty sure this phenomenon has defined most of Jay Cutler’s career. Sure, he’s hardly the most warm and cuddly guy, but with a few more charming shrugs and grins, he’d probably be Matthew Stafford.
Read MoreFootball is essentially a game of limited opportunities. A particular game might only have 70 to 80 offensive plays, and the best performers will maximize those very limited shots to show what they can do best.
Read MoreIt's easy to compare the 2015 Packers and the 2010 Packers. Both were 10-6. Both were perceived to have underachieved. Both finished second in the NFC North behind relatively strong defenses and relatively inconsistent offenses, at least at times.
Read MorePacker Perspective writers Jon Meerdink and Jordan Huenink traded emails about the Super Bowl this week. Here's what they talked about.
Read MoreI've scoped out a few of the major sports sites and compiled a list of positions that they think the Packers need to address at the draft.
Read MoreFootball is a rare commodity. You're guaranteed sixteen games a year and no more. As Packers fans, we're already well into bonus coverage. Our team gets another shot this weekend, and we get another chance to see them play.
