Packer Pundit Pulitzer

[Harlan Huckleby]

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.

[Harlan Huckleby]

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.

You're retired, bitch.

Can't believe that fucker Harlan didn't include ex-Packer great Bill Schroeder, who currently works for the NBC station in Green Bay, and Rob Demovsky, the ESPN NFC North blogger.

[Harlan Huckleby]

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.

" ..."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.

Rob Demovsky was an oversight.

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.
