There's always mocking!

It’s been a little slow for Packer news lately, so I figured that it would be a great way to end the week by looking at what the rest of the division is doing. Let’s take a stroll down NFC North Way shall we? La la la

Chicago Bears
Their offense was downright poor last year so one would think that they would do something to help that side of the ball out. So they went out and got… Brian Griese? Wait, I thought that Rex Grossman was the answer at QB? Don’t look now, but there is a bona-fide QB controversy in Chi-town. These never end well and I’m looking forward to the constant QB yanking and frustration that will inevitably be caused. Given the Bears did nothing in the draft to help the offense, that unit is only going to get worse. Defense can only carry this team so far.

Detroit Lions
Well, they didn’t draft a WR in the 1st round for the first time this decade it seems. Much-maligned QB Joey Harrington, the man GM Matt Millen took in the 1st round 4 years ago and swore was the man for the job was traded for a *giggle* 6th round pick. There is still nothing to fear from this team. What about new OC Mike Martz? His ego is far too big to be kept in check by this organization. He’ll be rubbing people the wrong way before too long and causing problems. Also, the Lions violated practice rules and thus lost a mini-camp session because of it. They narrowly beat out the next team on the list for the worst management in the division.

Minnesota Vikings
Where oh where to begin here? We could start with new owner coming out after the draft saying that no team had a better offseason than the Vikes. This was following what has been seen as one of the worst drafts of any team by virtually all football people. Dude, put down the bong and take a step back. Then, the guy in charge of that draft, Fran Foley (if that’s his real name) gets canned because he lied about as bad as Reggie Fowler (remember him?) on his resume. This “greatest offseason” also included trading Pro-Bowl QB Culpepper for a wasted draft pick that was part of that horrendous draft, to Miami. Sure they signed Hutchinson, but who is he blocking for? Brad “noodle arm” Johnson and RB Chester Taylor. Those two names don’t strike fear in anyone’s hearts kids, sorry to say.

So you see fellow Packer fans, we don't have too much to worry about with this division. The management is by far inferior to that which resides at 1265 Lombardi Ave.

Ok, I’m off to watch the Brewers/Twins series at Miller Park this weekend. I’ll be catching Saturday’s and Sunday’s games with my good buddy Gabe. Brewers have won 5 of their 6 games this homestand and look to make it 8 of 9 after this weekend. Whoo Hoo!!!!
