With every full-swing fist pump after a completed pass in […]

The NFL needs a playoff committee

January 8, 2018 Rick Solem

The NFL needs a playoff committee. I’ll just lob that out there. It’s a weird time to live in Wisconsin. In the sports world, anyway. It’s still cold as F. The Badgers just lost to Rutgers. Rutgers? The Packers aren’t in the playoffs. And the Bucks have the most popular player in the NBA. What? […]

Packers cleaning house to ring in new year, firing Capers and replacing Thompson

The Green Bay Packers rang in the new year with a cleaning house of sorts. It’s funny what the team’s first sub-.500 record in nearly a decade will do. First, 67-year-old defensive coordinator Dom Capers was fired. Then reports were that 64-year-old Ted Thompson was being replaced. Thompson, who’s been the GM since 2005, is […]

Not much at stake for this year’s Lions-Packers finale

December 29, 2017 Rick Solem

Twice in the past three seasons, this was a de facto NFC North title game. Now, the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers are already out of the playoff race. So much for another big showdown in the regular-season finale. For both the Lions and Packers, the offseason begins the moment Sunday’s game ends in […]
