Monday Packer Hits: Favre, Hunter, and Carlos Dunlap

by Brandon on May 11, 2009 1:15 AM CDT in Green Bay Packers News

X-rays of Brett Favre's injured shoulder have been sent to the Vikings. Or maybe not. I'm sure this is driving everyone over at Daily Norseman to drink an extra 6 pack of Grain Belt.
DE Jason Hunter was released on Monday and found a new home in Detroit by the end of the week. Sean at Pride of Detroit thinks he might be useful as a special teams player.
Get an early start on the 2010 NFL draft rumors. The Packers might draft Florida DE Carlos Dunlap.
J.I. Halsell has an interesting website if you're a salary cap geek. When a recent unsigned draftee suffers a season ending injury in minicamp, the injury has no effect on his rookie contract.
There is an advertising link on this site for the upcoming Spike TV show, 4th and Long, so this might seem like a shameless plug, but is there any shameless plug the Dallas Cowboys won't subject on their team? All their dirty laundry was aired out a couple times on Hard Knocks. Now "Hall of Famer Michael Irvin is on a quest to give a football hopeful a shot at making the Dallas Cowboys roster." Does any team need some guy from a reality show hanging around their training camp? Although I'm feeling a little less annoyance these days at the sight of Irvin since he had a cameo on my favorite TV show, Burn Notice.

Grain Belt?

I am a native Minnesotan, lifelong Viking fan, and a Daily Norseman member. But I prefer Leinenkugel’s. You cheeseheads know how to make beer.

Leinenkugels is pretty awesome.

Especially for the price.

Beer tastes horrible.

Yes, I said it.

Lots of beer tastes horrible

Like Grain Belt, for example. I’m cool with people that don’t like good beer because that means more for me. I’ve got some Leinies Sunset Wheat chilling in my fridge at the moment.

dallas cowboys show

Just why does it bother you so much that the Cowboys have a show? Wouldn’t you love it if it was the Packers?

not me

I’d rather have them work on improving from a 6-10 season than muggin’ for the cameras.

its typical Cowboys to be more focused on flash than substance

There is absolutely no way that having film crews around and turning your team into a reality show helps your team win games. The show will defiantly hurt the team, as a sports team. It might help the players get their names out there, and the organization get some time on the national stage, but it will hurt the team’s chances of winning games.
