If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I have finally finished setting up the new site so if you would like to check it out you can find it at Packerholic.com This will become the official site so there will be no more updates on Packers Nation. Packers Nation will also be taken down within a month so be sure to move to the new site soon. I hope you join me at the new site since I think I will be able to provide a much better experience there than I could at this current domain.

I’m sorry that I didn’t update yesterday. I am currently working on moving Packers Nation to a new domain. I haven’t finished the new site yet but when I have it finished I will put up a link so you can check out the new site. I am moving to a new site so I can hopefully give everyone a better Packers Experience.

Poppinga Extended

Posted by admin On July - 24 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

A news story just came out of the Shareholder’s meeting that Brady Poppinga was just signed to an extension. This actually comes as a surprise to me since I didn’t even know that they were that close to an extension. As long as the Packers didn’t pay Poppinga a ton of money (no details were released) I really like the extension. I have always liked Poppinga for his attitude and energy while playing. While he isn’t the best linebacker in the league I think he is a pretty good linebacker. He also adds to our special teams. Overall I am happy with the extension. It’s now time to give Jennings an extension.

Packers Sign Two

Posted by admin On July - 24 - 2008 ADD COMMENTS

Yesterday the Packers signed two more of their rookies; 4th rounder Josh Sitton and 5th rounder Breno Giocomini.At this point I really don’t have any thoughts about either of them. I really don’t know a whole lot about offensive line play in general, so I really can’t tell you a whole lot about either. At this point I think they will just be solid depth. While they both have a chance of getting one of the starting guard spots I doubt either will be able to pull it off though. You never know though.

What do you think about Josh Sitton and Breno Giocomini? Do you think they will even make the team? Will they just be depth? Or will they actually win a starting spot on the team?

What do you think about Matt Flynn? Is he a career backup or do you think he a real chance of making an impact in the NFL?
