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.

Zero2Cool (21h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (21h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (21h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (21h) : Against tbd
dfosterf (21h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (21h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (21h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (21h) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (21h) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪
Zero2Cool (22h) : Did we do one of those prediction threads yet for 2024 season?
dfosterf (22h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (22h) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (22h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Lengthy explanation at PFF if you click the link
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Kickoff rules officially changed.ngthy explan

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
