What words do you want to hear?
When the legendary southern rock band, Lynyrd Skynyrd came out for their encores, they always asked their audiences, "What song is it you want to hear?" The wasted audiences always shouted back in unison, "Freebird," easily one of the top rock songs of all time. Today, I am asking a similar...
Another New QB In The NFC North
Maybe the Packers were NFC North trend setters in 2008 when they made the transition from QB Brett Favre to QB Aaron Rodgers. With Detroit's announcement that they've signed Georgia QB Matthew Stafford and will select him with the No. 1 overall pick tomorrow, every non-Packer team in the NFC North...
With The First Pick, The Detroit Lions Select...
It looks like the Detroit Lions will announce and sign the top pick in the NFL draft later this week. Sean at Pride of Detroit has already taken his card up to the podium: If I went off that and nothing else, I would be inclined to go ahead and fill in Stafford's name in my draft tracker. ...
Cutler Deal Affects Every Team
The trade that sends Denver Broncos QB Jay Cutler and their 2009 fifth round draft pick to the Chicago Bears for QB Kyle Orton, two first round picks (2009, 2010) and this year's third round pick will resonate throughout the league and may greatly affect the NFL Draft later this month. Even with...
Detroit Would Trade The 1st Overall Pick
I doubt an NFL team hasn't considered trading the top overall pick in my lifetime. "We're open to all options with that pick," said Detroit GM Martin Mayhew, just as long as we get a boat load of picks in return, I'm sure. San Diego has started a tradition of trading away the 1st overall pick, in...

I'll discuss the other NFC North teams because I know a little bit more about them and it has a direct impact on the Packers. But I just don't know enough about any other NFL team to say who...
I Hope Detroit Takes Matthew Stafford First, And You Should Too
As soon as it looked as if Jay Cutler was legitimately going to be traded, I started singing the doom-and-gloom song about why the Texans wouldn’t be getting any takers for a trade down. My rationale was that with Cutler available and Josh Freeman becoming a more viable option, there were...

I Hope Detroit Drafts Matthew Stafford
Since the Packers are in no way considering drafting Georgia QB Matthew Stafford, I haven't been reading too much about him. But I have been wondering if he's turning pro early before teams find out he isn't that good. His selection does affect the Packers since he's widely expected to be taken...
