Aaron Rodgers must be benched. Jordan Love has to play NOW! Joe Barry must be fired, yesterday. The defense needs to be torn down and rebuilt! We should tank for the highest possible draft pick. These and other over-heated takes are all over the internet and various Packers coverage. Yes, I plead guilty, as I may have thrown gasoline on some of these fires. Sometimes, in a year … [Read more...] about Deep breathing

Jaire Alexander seems far more … [Read more...] about D is for Disappointing
