Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers won the 2011 Associate Press NFL Most Valuable Player Award. Not even a close match.
Super Bowl Quarterbacks Special: Every Super Bowl QB Matchup Ranked 1-46
February 2, 2012 By 1 Comment
Two weeks between the NFC and AFC Championship games and the Super Bowl seems like way too long.
I’m a Packers fan, so I’ve been on both sides of the spectrum. Last season, I could not wait for the Super Bowl to come, the anticipation building each and every day.
This season? I can’t wait for it to be over.

Of course the Super Bowl is next week, so this is Pro Bowl week!
The NFL’s annual all-star game is being played on Sunday in Hawaii, and it features all the stars of today’s game, minus those who are in the Super Bowl and preparing for their game next week.
A Brief, Comprehensive History of “I’m Going to Disney World!”
January 25, 2012 By 3 Comments
25 years ago this week, Disney ran the first of its now iconic “What’s Next?” spots.
The commercial opened with highlights of New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms picking apart the Denver Broncos defense in Super Bowl XXI to the tune of “When You Wish Upon a Star,” a song made famous in the 1940 Disney film Pinocchio.
A voiceover asked, “Phil Simms, you’ve just won the Super Bowl. What are you doing next?” Simms, who had been named MVP of Super Bowl XXI, looked into the camera and said, “I’m gonna go to Disney World!”
Jay Cutler Dominates: Listen up, Packers Fans. It’s not going to be all right. Jay Cutler won’t allow it.

Earlier in the week, fellow MSF writers and diehard Green Bay Packer fans, Amanda Lawson and Chris Calloway wrote an article to abate any sad feelings Packer fans might have had over their embarrassing loss to the New York Giants last weekend.
In the article they tried to pull the ever-so-cliche stunt of trying to look at the positives. It’s the oldest trick in the fanbook. Did your team not win the Super Bowl or not make the playoffs? That’s ok because “There’s always next year” or “Hey, Aaron Rodgers had a great season, so I call the season a success,” or, my personal favorite, “We have a lot of young talent coming in, so I see this team competing for years to come.”
All those statements are signs of repressed acceptance that your favorite team sucks.
Listen up, Packers fans. It’s going to be all right.

Editor’s note: Chris Callaway and Amanda Lawson teamed up to write this article about their beloved team, the Green Bay Packers.
Chris: Amanda Lawson and I are not just part-owners of the Green Bay Packers. We’re die-hards. The loss to the Giants this weekend sucks. But Packers fans, keep in mind all that your team has achieved and what it stands for.
I think I can speak for both Amanda and myself in saying that February 6, 2011, was one of the happiest days of our lives. The Green Bay Packers capped off an incredible run through the playoffs with a 31-25 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV. It’s been just shy of a full calendar year since then, and Sunday’s loss to the New York Giants makes me realize just what kind of year it has been. [Read more...]

This past weekend featured two highly anticipated quarterback matchups – Brady v Tebow and Manning v Rodgers – and a third that unexpectedly ended up being the most thrilling of the weekend – Brees v Smith.

Wait…what?
New York Giants-Green Bay Packers 5 P’s: Preview, Point Spread, Pick, Prediction, and Poll
January 15, 2012 By 1 Comment
In this afternoon’s late game, the surging New York Giants travel to frigid Green Bay to take on the defending champion Packers.
New York’s furious late-season finish and dominance in the Wild Card Round against Atlanta is generating comparisons to the unlikely Super Bowl winner from a few year’s back. Meanwhile, Green Bay’s dominance over the last calendar year is being somewhat taken for granted, overshadowed by the Giants, Tebow Mania, Tom Brady’s ruthless record-setting, and the perfect football game.
Here is all the basic info you need to know, what MSF’s writers have said about the game this week, and a poll so you can take your pick.

In Green Bay’s run to the Super Bowl last season, it traveled from Philadelphia to Atlanta to Chicago before heading to Dallas. If the Packers are going to head to the Super Bowl this season, the only field they’ll have to play on is the Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field.
Jay Cutler Dominates: Despite Absence, Jay Cutler’s Dominance Lives On In Generosity, Eloquence, and Shredded Muscles
January 10, 2012 By 2 Comments
I have been documenting and showcasing Jay Cutler’s dominance for four months now, but the dominance has long preceded just the last four months.
Cutler’s whole NFL career is pure dominance, whether it be the baby-face looks on the sideline, the shining moments when Cutler throws it to the other team, or the carefully placed hand-offs to the running back…Cutler has and does it all.
The Top 3 ‘New Era’ Touchdown Celebrations: Cam Newton’s Superman, Victor Cruz’s Salsa, and Aaron Rodgers’ Championship Belt

Being in the NFL gives football players a chance to do something that they cannot do anywhere else in their lives, and I’m not just talking about getting to play in front of tens of thousands of people for millions of dollars. No, there is something greater than that.
They get to (creatively) celebrate a touchdown.

Where Will Free Agent Matt Flynn End Up In 2012?

It was absolutely sick what Matt Flynn did to the Detroit Lions in the snow globe conditions at Lambeau Field Sunday. In fact, it was sick what both Flynn and Matthew Stafford did in snowy, windswept Lambeau Field.
