Surviving Sunday with no Packers Football

This is the time of year when we plant our flowers/veggies while NFL teams hold rookie camps. There are some parallels there.

We select what we think look like healthy new plants/vegetables, and give them an initial strong foundation, planting them firmly in the ground. We then watch over them, monitoring their progress and giving them the care and nurturing they need to sprout into flower or veggie-producing mature plants.

NFL teams pick this years plants (rookies) in the April draft and the free agency period in the days following. Rookie mini-camps are held, where the players are given their initial foundation of knowledge with regards to team operations and offensive/defensive schemes. They are evaluated by the coaching staff, who then decide what kind of individualized ongoing attention and care they will need.

Training expectations are established and their progress is monitored and assisted. The goal is for these young players to develop and blossom into valuable producers in their own right.

Staying on that theme, today’s “Surviving Sunday” will focus on these new Packers players. While we all know their names by now, here are some articles that will tell us a little more about some of these players.  Read more... (396 words + 1 image, estimated 1:35 mins reading time)

Aaron Rodgers at Packers Family Night

Back for it’s twelfth year, the Packers’ Family Night festivities will take place on Friday, August 3rd, 2012. The festivities will include fun-filled activities for the kids,  the Packers intra-squad scrimmage, jersey give-aways and a fireworks show.

If the evening is anything like other recent Family Nights, rain may also be on the program. To that point, Packers president mark Murphy quipped, “We are guaranteeing good weather this year.”

Tickets will cost $10 and will go on sale at 9:00AM on June 25th. They can be purchased through Ticketmaster or in person at the Packers’ ticket office.  There is no ticket limit on purchases and special plans for groups of 50 or more are also available.

The festivities begin at 5:30PM, followed by practice drills at 6:30, the intra-squad scrimmage at 7:30 and finally the fireworks show to close out the evening.

For those unable to attend, the evening will be televised statewide by WLUK-TV FOX 11.

Full details can be found at Packers.com.

Video from week 9 (Semi-Finals) of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars. Lets see how Donald Driver and Peta Murgatroyd perform the Samba:

Donald and Peta reached a new season high with a score of 29 from judges Carrie Ann Inaba (10), Len Goodman (9) and Bruno Tonioli (10). Goodman has still not awarded the pair a 10, consistently finding something technically imperfect with Donald and Peta’s performances.

Packers Free Agent Ryan Grant

Since this has unofficially become running backs week at AllGBP.com, I’ll chime in with some thoughts on the one guy who hasn’t been mentioned, Ryan Grant.

This is also the first in what I hope will become a series of “I have a feeling” posts, based on nothing more than what my gut tells me and intended to spur active discussion and debate. So, let’s get started.

Earlier in the week, Matthew Stein asked the question, “Which running back gives the Packers the best chance to win?” That was followed up on Thursday by Adam Czech, who gave us a look at some other players in the mix; the Packers UDFA running backs.

After reading and dissecting both posts, I came to this rather unlikely (for me) conclusion; Ryan Grant could be the guy that gives the Packers the best chance to win.

Those of you who remember some of my past posts on Ryan Grant, (like “Ryan Grant can’t cut it“), can all pick yourself up off of the floor now. But lets remember that several years have passed since that particular post. In the time that has elapsed, I came to accept what Ryan Grant provides (when healthy) to this pass-first Packers offense; dependability and accountability.  Read more...

Donald and Peta received a total score of 28, including their second perfect 10 of the season from Carrie Ann Inaba, followed by 9s from Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli. This was a new overall high score for them.
