GREEN BAY, Wisconsin (Reuters) - To understand what the National Football League and the beloved Packers mean to the residents of Green Bay you need only ask for directions. Chances are that sooner or later you will find yourself on Lombardi Ave or Holmgren Way, or might swing by Brett Favre Pass or find yourself on the newly paved Aaron Rodgers Avenue. In Green Bay, all roads eventually lead to Lambeau Field but on Sunday, many of the city's nearly 104,000 residents did not know which way... Read Full Story

One coach parted with a legend, shipping out the most decorated quarterback in league history in favor of a younger, newer model. The other coach was "willing to cut off his arms and legs," as one Minnesota Vikings player put it, to convince said legend to come out of retirement a second time and join the Vikings. Fair or not, both Mike McCarthy and Brad Childress likely will find their coaching legacies tied to how they handled Brett Favre. McCarthy and Packers GM Ted Thompson decided to... Read Full Story

MIAMI (Reuters) - Brett Favre returns to Green Bay on Sunday for the first time with the Minnesota Vikings, lining up against the team where he broke so many records.

Aware of that, some Packers fans are trying to see the funny side of Favre's return in the purple jersey of their Minnesota rivals and the mayor of Green... Read Full Story

Head Coach – Brad Childress - 2006 – Present. His 3 1/3 year record is 31 – 25 – All of a sudden, he’s become a real strategic genius. Talent will do that for you. Getting a QB who can play will do that for you. It is quite likely that “Chilli” wasn’t as inept as previously thought. I never really thought of him as “inept”, just as I no don’t think of him as the next coming of Vince Lombardi. But seriously, Childress deserves credit for surrounding himself with an excellent and highly... Read Full Story

Brett Favre is downplaying any anxiety about returning to Lambeau Field, though he expects to hear both boos and cheers.

Favre says he doesn't believe he'll be as nervous as... Read Full Story

I know I am a bit late on this, but wanted to make sure I let you all know that the Vikings did win on Sunday. Just playin’.  The truth is that Mrs. Warwas and I moved to a new seaside mansion trailer with a view.  Thus, I was without internet for a short span.  But now I am back at it (after Mrs. Warwas checked on the latest romance between the starts of Twilight: Nice Moon or whatever the hell it is) and want to give some general thoughts about the Packers game. We Won No matter... Read Full Story
