Tim from Champaign, IL Responding to Johnny from Madison, WI, about the "star" position, the name is most likely a reference to the fact that some defensive systems represent the slot corner with an asterisk in the playbook. Likewise, the dime DB is sometimes represented by a dollar sign and...

Charlie from Morgan Hill, CA Fans make it all possible yet we have absolutely no influence in affecting the final outcome of the Aaron Rodgers situation. I feel so useless and helpless, but the Packers can count on me to cheer as loud as ever at the 49ers game regardless of who's under center...

Matt from Beaverton, OR Pretty clear now that the Packers value Dean Lowry a lot more than all the talking heads that had him as good as cut. The 2022 cap situation is getting more and more interesting. Lowry is as durable as they come and has a thankless job, doing a lot of the dirty work...
