Happy Tuesday, folks. It's Tuesday, right? Right? I don't know what days are anymore. Apparently Donald Driver danced last night and we'll find out tonight how well 'Murrica thinks he danced tonight. This is totally 10 times more important than OTAs. Also, it's approximately 20 times more important than whether or not Donald Driver has a job next year. Here's your daily Green Bay Packers ...

The Phinsider (Kevin Nogle) —
Over the past 10-days or so, the Phinsider Community has predicted the 2012 NFL Playoffs. We started by looking at the AFC and NFC playoff teams from last year. Then, using the average 50% turnover from year to year that seems to have become standard for the NFL postseason, we eliminated the six teams, three per conference, that made the tournament last year. After that, we took a poll of...

Titus Young has been asked not to attend the Lions OTAs because he sucker-punched Louis Delmas last week. The Lions have a lot of really interesting characters on their team. Rolondo McClain, on the other hand, is attending OTAs for the Raiders despite the fact that he was sentenced to 180 days in jail last week. His defense team is currently appealing the ruling. Mocking the...

The Redskins ' current Safety depth chart to put it bluntly is messy: Brandon Meriweather ( recent law troubles ), Tanard Jackson are penciled in at Free Safety, and Madieu Williams joins the two holdovers, Reed Doughty and DeJon Gomes at Strong Safety. With 7th round draft pick Jordan Bernstine from Iowa trying to win a roster spot, I asked former Redskins and Hawkeyes' safety, ...
Yahoo.com: Shutdown Corner (Doug Farrar) —
If things like this keep happening, I'm going to start believing all the people who tell me that football is a violent game. When the Detroit Lions took the field for their OTAs on Monday, receiver Titus Young was conspicuous by his absence. Turned out that Young, the second-year player taken in the second round out of Boise State, had a "confrontation" with veteran safety Louis Delmas during...

Stamped Blue (Brad Wells) —
How desperate is Indianapolis for veteran players at the cornerback position? So desperate they recently worked out (arguably) the worst corner in football last year , Justin King . I note "arguably" because I've never seen King play. However, Pro Football Focus is pretty adamant that King is a terrible corner , and it seems the St. Louis Rams agree with them. The 25-year-old Penn State...
