He is knowledgable about the game and history but comes off as condescending and rude. I used to read his stuff but it got to be too much. If you attempt to prove him wrong he will go on a long rant to justify his point. I expressed my displeasures about him to the Packers and they basically said "Don't like it , Don't read it." He's controversial and that's what gets the attention.

If Vic Ketchman is not your cup of tea , then who is. Who do you like to read and why ? Any other cities and/or sites that get it right most of the time. Many just post the media story of the day, who is seeing the less heard important news and reporting about it today. This site post lots of headline stories, who do you read ?

Let's face it. These guys plagiarize us all the time. We're the most interesting sports writers around.

Cheeseheadtv isn't bad.

Oh...and I do enjoy Vic from time to time.

Demovsky comes across as having no personality. He's fine, but nothing special.

Cranky ol' Bob McGinn is a guy who moves the needle to where a lot of popular opinion seems to corral. Sort of the zeitgeist for Packer nation. But it should be known that just like everybody else, he'll be proven to be wrong about Green Bay. He'll really like a guy who doesn't pan out, etc. But he's still one of my main dudes.

Micheal Rodney, Packer Update. Must read.

I like a number of these fan sites. Jersey Al, Packernet, Arrigo.

I don't think much of Vic Ketchman... he is what is wrong with sports media in general.

When you have to question his objectivity there is little to glean from reading him.

Give me Bob McGinn...some feel he is the polar opposite of Vic in that he just tries the reactionary columns. I disagree...he is the ONLY reputable Packers source in the mainstream media.

Michael Rodney of PackerUpdate.net is a guy I generally admire...a lot more knowledgable and definitely more objective than most Packers scribes.

Demovksy is relevant but pretty vanilla.

I'd rather read the objective Packers fans on this site. Wish we had even more.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I don't really like Nagler. Seemed to have some kind of superiority complex going on back when I followed him on Twitter. I loved the show they used to do on CheeseheadTV and he's a knowledgable guy, but that kind of ruined it for me.

On topic, I like Ketchman. I actually think that, for a writer employed by a team, he's rather objective. Of course, he won't be calling for heads to roll, but he does point out the negative.
