Mostly I read a lot of bitchin about writers who stink. Somebody must be good.
I wasted 15 minutes making this list. If nobody responds, there will be repercussions.

Did I mention there will be big trouble if this poll goes ignored? I'm serious about this, I'm not an entirely stable person.
Hell hath no fury like a pollster scorned.

LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
I didn't see my name mentioned
I call bullshit on this poll

*AHEM*
Rob Demovsky was an oversight. Bill Schroeder is familiar mostly in the Upper Peninsula. Clef Crusty retains a small but dedicated following among HAM radio enthusiasts. The Nomination Committee did not receive a satisfactory background report for Mark Chmura or Red. It is hoped that Chmura may become eligible with the passage of time.
I checked 'other'.
I don't have a preference for any particular Packer beat writer.
I read and garner as much as I can here and online and from the NFL Network to get an overall impression of things NFL and Green Bay Packers.

Fr.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Smith_(sportswriter)
" ..."Open a vein and bleed"
Smith is one plausible source for the quotation, "Writing is easy. You just open a vein and bleed." In 1946, sportswriter Paul Gallico wrote, "It is only when you open your veins and bleed onto the page a little that you establish contact with your reader." In 1949, columnist Walter Winchell wrote, "Red Smith was asked if turning out a daily column wasn't quite a chore. ... 'Why, no', dead-panned Red. 'You simply sit down at the typewriter, open your veins, and bleed.'" ..... "

Red Smith is from Green Bay, a school there is named after him. He was kind of a celebrity in 50s and 60s, he was the most famous sportswriter in America, I hear his name in old movies sometimes.
I get all the news I need right here.

Check out Demovsky's recent Pulitzer-worthy piece (lol):
http://espn.go.com/blog/green-bay-packers/
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers' beverage of choice after games has long been a Grape Crush soda.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback doesn't always bring it with him to his postgame news conference like he did after Sunday's 24-21 win over the Minnesota Vikings, but he says he was not sticking it to the purple-clad team or its fans by doing so.
And to anyone who doubts how long he has been drinking that after games, he had a message Tuesday on his ESPN Milwaukee radio show.
"To all the idiot trolls out there, seven years," Rodgers said adding that he also enjoys a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. "PBJ and Grape or Orange Crush. It's been grape for the last five; the first couple years it was orange or grape."
Nevertheless, the image of Rodgers drinking from a bottle of Grape Crush got some people riled up after Sunday's game.
"Any of the local media or anybody who's seen me after a game, I'm always carrying that around with me," Rodgers said on his show. "That's probably the only soda that I ever drink – right after the game, when you've got to get those nutrients back with you. So that's my postgame [snack], PBJ and the Grape Crush. I do like it, contrary to anybody who thinks I was trolling anything. It's absolutely ridiculous. It's comical."
The Packer Pulitzer for Photography is chosen separately. This could be strong candidate, the field is weak in 2014.
With the timing with which this picture was captured, it sure does look like he's hawking the product. Head turned sideways so you can see the product, perfect hand placement so you can see the label. I'm sure it's not the best thing to drink after a game, but as long as he keeps playing like he is, they might start promoting it as an energy drink!

Here's hoping he needs to get a certain barley and hops in his system after this Sunday.

Does anyone remember the soda "Squirt?" Mraynrand remembers it, and made the terrible error of doing a Google Image Search for it. NSFW!!!!! Oh, the HUMANITY!
"Never, never ever support a punk like mraynrand. Rather be as I am and feel real sympathy for his sickness." - Woodbuck
Yes and yes (NSFW). You can still get it at the grocery store around here.
The drink, that is.
McGinn has the most info from roster to draft to X and O to player grades. If he left, they would have to drag Bedard back.
However, his weekend celebration/hit pieces on how the team has either solved cold fusion or is in danger of coming apart at the seams and turned back over to the VFW are terrible.
If you want to know what the team and players are actually thinking with some mix of X and O stuff, better off with Bill Huber (Packer Report).

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
