Yahoo! Sports tries out innovative new journalistic technique of just making stuff up.

A Yahoo! Sports headline screams:  “Packers’ Kampman appears unhappy with move to LB.”

So, why does Yahoo! Sports think Kampman is unhappy?  Allow them to explain:

“There’s always a learning curve,” said Kampman.”

I wonder what their headline would be if Kampman had actually made a quote indicating any unhappiness whatsoever.  “Kampman threatens to kill Ted Thompson?”

Offseason Update: Dom Capers Hired as D-Coordinator

Despite the fact that both Winston Moss and Mike Nolan were touted as sure hires for the job by the incredibly insightful consistently wrong Mike Lombardi, neither find themselves in the position of Packers defensive coordinator.  That job belongs to Dom Capers, former defensive coordinator of the Dolphins, Steelers, and Jaguars and “special assistant” to Bill Belichik in New England.

Capers has always used 3-4 defensive schemes, so Green Bay will probably be the latest NFL team to utilize this 4-linebacker look.

Offseason Update: Winston Moss and Mike Nolan are sure things.

1.)  Both Winston Moss and Mike Nolan are sure to replace Bob Sanders as the new Packers defensive coordinator.  Just ask Michael Lombardi from two days ago and Michael Lombardi from yesterday:

Michael Lombardi from two days ago:

Keeping Moss tells me the Packers may interview others, but they will end up hiring him.

Michael Lombardi from yesterday:

Mike Nolan is coming on board very soon. 

It’s always great to be sure that you’re right, no matter what.

2.)  Railbird Central has taken a look at some of the potential first round draft picks for Green Bay in April.

3.)  After contemplating offseason shoulder surgery, QB Aaron Rodgers has decided it is not necessary.

4.)  Green Bay’s 2009 opponents:

Home:  Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, San Francisco, Seattle, Dallas, Baltimore, Cincinatti

Away:  Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, Arizona, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Cleveland, Pittsburgh

The dates and times of the games will be determined at a later time.  The Packers should have a great shot at making it back to the playoffs with a schedule like this.  They’ll play the worst division in the NFC (the NFC West), the other 3rd place finishers from the NFC East and South, and the 2nd-worst division in the AFC against NFC teams (the AFC North).  (Source:  NFL.com)
