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.

beast (27-Dec) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (27-Dec) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Dec) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (27-Dec) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (27-Dec) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (27-Dec) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (27-Dec) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (27-Dec) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (27-Dec) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
