It has been almost 30 years since the Green Bay Packers outfitted an official cheerleading squad in contemporary attire.

Too many problems under Gregg when they had Lofton and all those guys. LOL

"I think our fans are unique in that they don't need a big circus atmosphere," said tight end Ryan Taylor. "Because they're football purists and enjoy the game as is."

There you go.

A couple of years ago one of the college girls was just a little plump. I had to smile. Only in GB could a girl who has probably been teased her whole life stand on one of the biggest stages of the NFL and cheer. Ok not on stage. they are only on the sidelines and an the back of the endzone.

Best Name of a Cheerleader Group: the Rams group was called the Embraceable Ewes.

I suppose we could call ours the Packers Porkers.

I've got a couple of Old Style beer posters from 1985 and 1986 of the Packers cheerleaders and while they certainly are not porkers they don't don't look much like the squads of today. Most of them look to be in their 30's and 40's and there is even one that looks to be at least 50.

CHICAGO, CLEVELAND, DETROIT, NEW YORK GIANTS, PITTSBURGH:

I read the article on CBS and left this reply ...

"Please leave it the way it is. The college cheerleaders are much more fitting for Green Bay. The teams like Cowboys, Raiders, Dolphins and Vikings need professional cheerleaders (dance troupe) to distract from the less than adequate product that they put on the field. As W. C. Fields said ... "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull." "

"The Packers are doing just fine."

It may be appropriate now but it has not always been the case. Except for the vikings, it has always been more pleasant to watch the vikings cheerleaders.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
