Just in time for the holidays!

The Green Bay Packers could begin selling shares of team stock next week.

Lambeau Field expansion

According to an October 13 letter from the Foley & Lardner law firm, outlining the parameters of a sale, the cost of shares is likely to exceed the cost of a share in the previous sale (1997-98 – $200).  The new price could go up to $250.00 a share.

The Packers plan to sell the new shares online.  The National Football League approved the sale in October.

The Packers announced $143 million in renovations to Lambeau Field back in August.  Profits from the sale of stock would go to help pay for that project.

When will the Packers learn?

November 6, 2011 By

The Packers trail the San Diego Chargers 7-0 after Green Bay won the toss and Mike McCarthy deferred to the second half. 

When will Mike McCarthy learn? 

Now, that doesn’t mean the Packers are going to lose the game.  But when you have the games #1 scoring offense and the #1 quarterback in Aaron Rodgers, why wouldn’t you take the football every time you have a chance. 

The Packers defense ranks near the bottom of the league.  Why would you give the football to Phillip Rivers, instead of your own guy right from the start. 

This isn’t college or high school, this is the NFL.  It’s where the big boys play.  If you have the games #1 offense, then use it.  I’m not sure if it’s Mike McCarthy out-thinking himself or if it’s cockiness.  I just think it’s wrong, especially on the road.

Rodgers NFC Player of the Month

November 3, 2011 By

Aaron Rodgers

It’s beginning to look like a broken record.  Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is the NFC’s Offensive Player of the Month for October. This is Rodgers’ fourth career Player of the Month Award and third in a row.  He joins Pro Football Hall of Famer Barry Sanders as the only players to be named Offensive Player of the Month in three consecutive month.

Rodgers led the Packers to a 4-0 record and completed 97 of 136 passes (71.3%) for 1,455 yards with 12 touchdowns and two interceptions for an NFL-best 129.4 passer rating.

In all four October games, Rodgers had at least 300 yards passing, two or more touchdowns and a 110+ passer rating.  He has posted a passer rating of at least 110 in every game this year and is the first player in NFL history with a 110+ rating in each of the first seven games to start a season. Rodgers is already drawing mention as the odds on favorite to win the NFL MVP Award.  Rodgers was asked about that yesterday.

start.  They’ll try to make it 8-0 with a win at San Diego on Sunday.

Will the S.I. jinx come into play?  Let’s hope not. 

This is not a regional cover either.  According to Don Walker’s story in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, St. Louis and Missouri will get a cover featuring the World Series champion St. Louis Cardinals.  The remainder of the country gets Aaron Rodgers and the rest of receiving cast.
