Knock on Woodson: Green Bay’s Cornerback Named Defensive Player of the Year
It’s no secret that Charles Woodson did not want to play for the Green Bay Packers. Let’s be honest, Green Bay doesn’t exactly have the best reputation for young super star athletes looking to make the most of their fame. It’s a small town, it’s cold, and it most certainly takes a certain amount of adjustment. To outsiders, the appeal of Green Bay is slim. However, to those who know and love the land of the frozen tundra, Woodson got lucky with Green Bay, and as it turns out, Green Bay got lucky as well.
Pack Ready to Attack Cardinals… Again
Who would have thought in Week Nine that we’d be watching the Green Bay Packers take the field in a playoff game mere months later? Most Packers fans hopes for the season were in serious doubt after a bad loss to the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The team that defeated the Arizona Cardinals this past Sunday looks like an entirely different group of athletes than earlier in the year. Having won seven of their last eight games, the Packers 4-4 start is merely a distant memory and they are now playing their best football going into the playoffs. Coming off the victory in Arizona, the No. 5-seeded Packers will embark on a rematch to the No. 4-seeded Arizona Cardinals. Players and fans alike are hoping that the 33-7 win from the previous Sunday can and will be repeated.
The Little Cheeseheads that Could

Though the 9-4 Green Bay Packers are on a five game winning streak and the Steelers are on a five game losing streak, the former Super Bowl champs are still a very capable and challenging team. They rank ninth in the league in total offense and fourth in defense. Ryan Grant will have a tough time putting up big numbers like he did against the Bears, as the Steelers are first in defense against the run.
(Packers) Chick in the (Windy) City
As a Packers fan living in Chicago, I must admit to the sweet satisfaction I feel each time the Bears lose. Walking in to my Bears-fan-filled office on Monday morning is like Christmas day. This week, I’m hoping for a particularly sugary Sunday when the Packers take on the Bears at Soldier Field in the city.
Defending Titletown
There’s no doubt about it, this season the Green Bay Packers are riding one heck of a roller coaster wrought with highs, lows, drama and disquiet. First there was the whole Favre thing—yes, I know, we’ve heard enough about the emotional turmoil resulting from a former quarterback turning to one of our biggest rivals. That “will he/ won’t he” mentality was followed by the much-hyped game against the friend-turned-foe that the Packers lost. Badly. When Favre returned to Lambeau to once again defeat his former backers, Packer fans kissed their hopes of a NFC North divisional title goodbye. A loss to the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers brought out dismal thoughts of a loss-ridden season, which can only be topped off by Favre having one of his best seasons of all time.
