The Green Bay Packers kick off their 2017 “mandatory” minicamp on Tuesday at Clarke Hinkle Field. They’re set to practice Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with all three practices being open to the public.(And the media.) But as it turns out — much like last year — the minicamp won’t be mandatory for the veterans. Head…… MORE
Back to Football for Kevin King
The Packers used their first draft pick on Washington cornerback Kevin King, but an NFL rule has prevented the rookie from joining the team. (Until now.) Because of the class schedule at the University of Washington, King was unable to participate at OTAs with his new employer. Last year’s first-round pick, Kenny Clark, went through…… MORE
Patriots (and Marty B) get their rings
Packers tight end Martellus Bennett is headed back to Boston … to get his Super Bowl ring. Tonight, the Patriots will receive their Super Bowl LI rings. For Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, this makes a handful. (That’s five, for those of you scoring at home.) Marty B — the Packers new tight end —…… MORE
Ty Montgomery is confident; are you?
Packers running back Ty Montgomery is, in fact, a running back. (And he’s also sticking with No. 88, in case you’ve been living under a rock.) Montgomery understands the questions about his jersey number because, as he put it, “it’s not normal.” But at the same time, Montgomery knows a jersey number doesn’t define…… MORE
Long road home for Davon House
The Packers held their final open organized team activity (OTA) today at Clarke Hinkle Field. Veteran cornerback Davon House was there, but not without some travel issues. Last night in Minnesota, House tweeted that he was having trouble finding a car to get from Minnesota to Green Bay. But as we all know, Packers fans are loyal. And…… MORE
Busy day for the Brewers: Trades, calls and Giants
The Milwaukee Brewers host the San Francisco Giants tonight at Miller Park. It should be an interesting matchup between two of baseball’s surprise teams: the Brewers have surpassed expectations and sit atop the NL Central, while the Giants have fallen flat and are looking up at the rest of the NL West. Away from the…… MORE
Packers Defense: Versatility the Key
The Green Bay Packers used safety Morgan Burnett as a linebacker on passing downs last season. Last month, they drafted Josh Jones to do the same thing. Jones has a similar skill set to Burnett, although Jones is even bigger and faster. What does that mean for Jake Ryan, Blake Martinez and the “traditional”…… MORE
And then there was one (Packers Punter)
Undrafted rookie Justin Vogel signed with the Packers because he saw an opportunity. Now in early June, he’s the only punter on the Packers’ roster, after the team cut ties with Jake Schum. “There’s only 32 spots in the world at my position,” Vogel said Thursday in the locker room. “There’s no backups being…… MORE
Packers in good hands at QB
NFL.com’s Elliot Harrison compared teams’ quarterbacks now, to what they had 25 years ago. You know, when Jim Harbaugh was starting for the Bears instead of Mike Glennon or Mitch Trubisky. But for the Packers, it’s like picking between a Cadillac and a Porsche: Aaron Rodgers or Brett Favre? Who ya got? “Air it Out”…… MORE
Opening Day for the Green Bay Bullfrogs
As the Milwaukee Brewers cling to first place in the NL Central, it’s time to throw out the first pitch for another season with the Green Bay Bullfrogs. Former MLB All-Star Chris Sabo takes over as manager, and WWE Hall of Famer Booker T will be on hand for Opening Day with the Bullfrogs.…… MORE
