OK...Bear-Packer Week-Worldcrapping down-Nowhere to post my funny...
Why oh why do we hate the Packers so...feel free to add to the collection I've been picking up from across the web...
Because their name refers to the act of stuffing raw ground meat into sausage skins.
Because John Madden licks Brett Favruaha's jewels.
Because pi$$ and puke look like crap.
Because Don Majkowski was over the line.
Because Charles Martin was a thug.
Because Vince Lombardi couldn't carry Papa Bear's jock.
Because neither could Curly Lambeau before him.
Because their existence hinges on an act of charity by Papa Bear.
Because the NFL Championship Trophy should be named for the man who started the league, not for who it's named for now
Because of Chester " I kickee Touchdown!!!!" Marcol, Brett Favre, Chuck Cecil, Forrest Gregg, Mark Chmura, Charles Martin,
Don Majkowski.
Because of those freaking cheese heads.
Because of that stupid leap.
Because they're from Wisconsin.
Because it's what we do.
Because my Father brought me up right

I make KILLER homemade stuffed peppers. Some people don't believe that rice should be in the meat mixture, but I insist on it for texture.

Peckers were lucky Tarvis Jackson is still the Minny QB. he does nothing. Benard Berrian a non-factor.
Aaron Rodgers looked OK at times - but his TD pass was very close to incomplete and that one long bomb he lucky the DB didn't pick it off or it was knocked away - terrible D by the DB - also, apparently that DB was a second stringer.

I make KILLER homemade stuffed peppers. Some people don't believe that rice should be in the meat mixture, but I insist on it for texture. Are you kidding me? If the stuffing is all meat that would make for some greasy ass stuffed peppers. Mine are probably 90% rice and 10% meat if that. I used 4 cups of seasoned rice and only 1lb of ground beef. Seasoned Rice... 2 cups raw rice 1 cup fresh chopped parsley 1 cup chopped green onion 1 tsp salt 1 tsp minced garlic Cook per instructions. I use a rice cooker. This shit can be eaten as is if you want. Stuffing for 6 lareg Bell peppers... 4 cups of the seasoned rice 1lb hamburger (or try other meats) 1 cup chopped tomato 1 cup chopped fresh parsley 1 cup chopped green onion 1 cup chopped yellow onion 2 tsp minced garlic Hot sauce to taste. Brown hamburger. Add all other ingredients (except rice) and cook until yellow onion is opaque. Mix this all into the 4 cups of seasoned rice. Hallow and clean out the peppers by removing the stem and cleaning out all the seeds. Stuff the stuffing in the peppers through the hole in top that you made. Cooking Sauce: 8 oz can tomato sauce 1/2 cup favorite dry white wine 1/2 cup water Place in a baking dish. Pour the mixture AROUND the peppers not on the tops. Bake @ 350 for one hour. KILLER SHIT RIGHT THERE! |

Typical Thompson move:
Tom Silverstein of the Journal Sentinel Feb. 24, 2011
Indianapolis — The Green Bay Packers chose not to use a franchise or transition tag on any of their impending free agents and for defensive end Cullen Jenkins it means just one thing:
He's out of here.
After the deadline passed Thursday afternoon for NFL teams to apply the restrictive tag to their free agents, Jenkins said his chances of remaining with the Packers were slim and none.
"I'm 99% sure something won't happen," Jenkins said when asked in a phone interview from his home in Michigan whether there was a chance the Packers could re-sign him before the start of free agency. "Not at this point. You get to a point where you want to go where you feel you're wanted.
"The way everything came down, it's just time for a new start."
More than a dozen teams applied the tags to individual free agents, fearful that they wouldn't get deals done with their best players before the start of free agency on March 4. There's a good chance free agency won't start on time because of a work stoppage, but the tags would likely be in effect when the two sides finally do come to an agreement.
It's not surprising that the Packers didn't franchise Jenkins, their best inside pass rusher and a staple on the defensive line since 2004. He is generally considered the best of the Packers scheduled to become a free agent, but the price to put the franchise tag on him would have been around $12 million for one year.
The franchise tag would have prohibited Jenkins from shopping himself on the free-agent market. The Packers also could have used the less expensive transition tag (about $10 million) to guarantee they would have the right to match an offer he received from another team.
Instead, they chose not to use either tag.
"It's just part of the decision-making process," general manager Ted Thompson said during a break at the NFL scouting combine. "We chose not to use it this time."
Speaking before Jenkins had made his remarks, Thompson said he had not given up on re-signing any of the team's free agents before the signing period begins. Whether that is March 4 or later will depend on whether the players and owners can negotiate a collective bargaining agreement.
Jenkins wasn't necessarily expecting the Packers to put the tag on him. He said it has been clear since the end of the 2009 season that the club was not interested in signing him long-term and that his future was going to be somewhere else.
"We've gone for so long," Jenkins said. "We approached them last off-season about doing an extension and we haven't heard anything. You would think you would have received an offer by now.
"It's just one of those things where they have other plans. They showed that in the way they went about it. It's time for me and my family to look at options somewhere else. Whenever they get the CBA done, I'll get out there and see what the situation is."
Asked if he thought the Packers could still convince him to stay, Jenkins said it wouldn't be easy.
"You know obviously that you never close the door completely," he said. "But it will be real tough."
Even though Jenkins has been the team's best pass-rushing defensive lineman - he has 29 sacks in seven years, including 14 in his last three - he is 30 years old and has missed 17 games over the last three seasons due to injury. He missed five games in 2010 with a recurring calf injury. Jenkins made $3.5 million in the final year of a four-year, $16 million deal last season.
His role has been limited more to an inside pass rusher in nickel situations - the Packers play nickel more than 70% of the time. He was replaced by run-stuffing Howard Green on early downs after coming back from his injury.
Despite the reduction in snaps, Jenkins finished second behind linebacker Clay Matthews in quarterback pressures and was versatile enough to play both inside in a 4-3 setup and end in a 3-4. The ability to play both positions should broaden the number of teams that are interested in him and possibly create bidding that could result in a big contract .
As for the future, the Packers are high on defensive linemen Mike Neal and C.J. Wilson, both rookies in 2010, and may feel they can get by fine without Jenkins.
Neal was a force in the Washington game after overcoming a side injury early in the year, but he tore his rotator cuff the next week in practice and was lost for the season. The injuries to the tightly muscled Neal may raise a red flag and result in them drafting another end.
The only other player who probably drew some consideration for the franchise / transition tag was kicker Mason Crosby. It would have cost the Packers around $3 million to keep him for this season and it probably didn't make sense to spend that much on him.
Franchise salaries are based on the average of the five highest-paid players at a position from the year before. Transition is the average of the 10 highest-paid players.
Crosby will have a chance to find out how he's viewed around the league if a deal isn't reached with the Packers. He connected on 78.6% of his field goals this year to raise his career mark to 78.1 He is 1 for 4 in game-winning kicks in his career.
Among the Packers' other free agents are receiver James Jones, safety Atari Bigby, safety Charlie Peprah, running back Brandon Jackson, guard Daryn Colledge, center Jason Spitz and running back John Kuhn.

plays on offensive line
By Pete Dougherty • pdougher@greenbaypressgazette.com • February 27, 2011
If the Packers select a tackle in the early rounds of this year’s draft, maybe that will decide Lang’s future for them. Perhaps the same if they take a guard.
For now, Lang’s best chance to get into the starting lineup is at left guard, especially if the Packers don’t re-sign Daryn Colledge, whose free-agent status remains in flux with the league’s collective bargaining agreement set to expire this week and no new agreement in sight.
But there are plausible, if less likely, scenarios that have Lang competing for the starting job at right tackle in 2011 also.
“I always thought T.J. was a left guard or a right guard,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said at the NFL scouting combine last week. “But he’s pretty natural outside. You don’t want a guy to get into that he’s a jack of all trades master of none. I think we need to find out, he’s getting to that spot where he needs to go compete somewhere. That’s a great question, because I always thought he was a guard, but he’s pretty natural at tackle.”
Going into the offseason, Chad Clifton seems likely to return as the Packers’ starting left tackle at a salary of $5.25 million when the 2011 season opens. He’ll turn 35 in June and has a long history of sore knees, which are reasons to wonder whether he’ll hold up for another year. But he came back from knee problems early last season to provide solid play protecting quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ blind side, and he maintained that level at the end of the year, when older players sometimes fade. He also did not have any surgeries this offseason.
“Yeah, we certainly plan on him being with us,” General Manager Ted Thompson said.
That means the Packers’ first-round pick last year, Bryan Bulaga, won’t be their left tackle in 2011, at least as long as Clifton is healthy and maintaining an adequate level of play. Bulaga likely will remain at right tackle for a second season after starting there 16 games last year, playoffs included, in place of injured Mark Tauscher.
Bulaga still looks like Clifton’s successor at left tackle – during the stretch run last season, quarterback Aaron Rodgers several times referred to Bulaga as the left tackle of the Packers’ future – and for that reason there’s a chance the Packers could move him to left guard. That way, he’d have an easier transition to left tackle if he were needed to replace Clifton during the season. That also would put Lang as the front-runner to start at right tackle, depending on this year’s draft.
Bulaga’s future could change if the Packers draft a tackle they think is better suited long term for the left side, and McCarthy said that regardless, the Packers want left tackle-type athletes on both sides because he runs so much offense out of spread formations that both can end up on islands as pass blockers. Also, defenses more than ever are moving their best outside rusher against the weaker tackle on passing downs.
“We’re playing our best football when we have two left tackles,” McCarthy said. “The thing about the old right tackle, you had the big tight end right next him, but you play with an open edge as much as we do with no tight end right next to him, you better have a right tackle than can pass protect too. Ted and I talk about this a lot, we don’t do the big mammoth right tackle, athletic left tackle.”
McCarthy wouldn’t say whether Tauscher will be back with the Packers this year, though his return appears unlikely. Tauscher turns 34 in June, and after a long, accomplished 11-year career his body is breaking down, as evidenced by the shoulder injury that ended his 2010 season after four games.
McCarthy said he spoke with Tauscher on the Wednesday after the Super Bowl and wanted to wait a while before they seriously addressed Tauscher’s future. Tauscher has one season left on his contract at a salary of $4.1 million. If they don’t meet by March 3 and there’s a lockout, they won’t be allowed to have contact until there’s a new CBA.
“Just get some distance (from the end of last season), sit down and talk,” McCarthy said “We have a great relationship with Mark, see where he’s at, see where his mind is at.”
Regardless of where the Packers play Lang, they have another potential future starter at guard or center in Nick McDonald, who made the roster last year as an undrafted rookie out of Division II Grand Valley State.
The 6-foot-4, 316-pound McDonald needs an excellent offseason to improve himself physically. A lockout could set back his development if it wipes out the team-run offseason workout program, which is the optimal way for a player to get stronger and improve individual skills.
“I think (McDonald) definitely has a chance at center, and I think he’s a very natural guard,” McCarthy said. “I like his body. I think he’s definitely a guy that has a very bright future.”
McDonald’s rise onto the roster last year was a surprise, because he regularly was beaten, often badly, in one-on-one pass blocking drills during training camp. But in games, he proved to be a tough, physical fighter, and he has the kind of big, square build and strong anchor that hold up well in interior line play in the NFL.
“Your interior linemen, one-on-ones is not their best drill,” McCarthy said. “I remember (former NFL center) Tim Grunhard in Kansas City, Tim was a hell of a football player. You’d go to one on one, he’d get his (butt) kicked every day. What you have to do is watch their feet. If you’re watching a guy winning and losing (the drill), that’s not as important as watching his feet – his hips, feet and ankles.”
