Mike Vandermause is 1000 times the Packers fan than he is a journalist.
A Homer's Homer if you will.

That article that he wrote after the Packers loss to the Cardinals was downright embarrassing.
All he did was cry and wail over how he refs screwed the Packers....nothing about how the Packers vaunted "playoff caliber defense" that he himself had just praised weeks before, allowed 45 points in regulation play.
But I must admit, his melodramatic skills are superb.

"On one of the biggest stages of the NFL season, in front of a national television audience, in one of the most dramatic games in playoff history, the officials flat out choked on the final play of the Arizona Cardinals 51-45 overtime victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Their miscue in the most critical moment will haunt the Packers for months, if not years.

The gory details will live in team infamy......."

Have you ever listened to Paul Allen call a Viking game? That's a homer for you.

Well old Sid is damn near 90, a fixture in the Twin Cities sports scene, and as such is allowed some lee way
And he must be given credit for essentially founding the Lakers and ran them for years .

With that said.... In the world of sports writing, Sid Hartman is the crazy uncle who lives in the back bedroom and has been known to show up for dinner sans pants. Yes, he once confused skater Tara Lipinski with Monica Lewinsky.
Once in a radio interview, he continually referred to NBA star Spud Webb as Spider Webb.
Reading Sid is like listening to one of your Grandpa's crazy stories; it can only end in one of three ways: 1. You get up and leave, 2. He falls asleep, 3. Death.

As to my point....I have no point.
I just like to stir the pot from time to time. But you cheeseheads and your reactions are getting to easy, I'll have work on my technique. ::wink:

You may now continue with your discussion on Rodgers.

If you want an excruciating Queens homer, look no further than that puke Kevin Seiffert who obviously blew someone to get a writing gig at ESPN.

Watching other teams scrabble around desperately for even half decent QBs makes me so grateful we have Rodgers.

When you factor in his age, his talent and his character/leadership there are few better QBs in the league.

The very best (Manning, Brady, Brees etc) are all in their 30s. Who knows how much longer they'll be at the top of their game.

If I was starting a franchise today Rodgers would be my choice of QB.

We are fortunate indeed. #4 gave us many years where we did not worry about who would start at QB and Rodgers has given us a nearly seemless transition to another great QB.

I look forward to Rodgers proving himself even more in the years to come.

Zero2Cool (7h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (21h) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break

wpr (15-Nov) : wow. That three different things for the kid.
