Packers sign 4th round draft pick

The Green Bay Packers signed guard Allen Barbre, the team's fifth of 11 draft selections. Barbre , a 6-foot-4, 300-pound player from Missouri Southern State, was selected in the fourth round (119th overall) of the 2007 NFL draft.

The Packers have a real gem with this guy he has all the athletic ability and tremendous speed he will definitely make an impact on the offensive line in the future.

Packers Sign Draft Picks Harris, Wynn

The Green Bay Packers Wednesday signed RB DeShawn Wynn and TE Clark Harris, the final two players they selected in the 2007 NFL Draft, and released C Pete Bier and DT Devarick Scandrett. Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson made the announcement.

Wynn, a 5-foot-10, 232-pound selection out of Florida, was the Packers' first of two seventh-round choices (228th overall). After Brandon Jackson, selected five rounds earlier in the same draft, Wynn became just the second running back chosen by the Packers since 2002. He was Florida's leading ground-gainer each of the past two years, including its National Championship season of 2006. Among freshmen in Florida annals, his seven rushing TDs in 2003 ranked third in school history, trailing only Emmitt Smith (13 in 1987) and Fred Taylor (eight in 1994).

Harris, a 6-foot-5, 256-pound choice from Rutgers, was Green Bay's final 2007 selection (243rd overall), the first tight end selected by Green Bay since David Martin in 2001. Despite playing in a run-oriented college offense, Harris caught 143 career passes for 2,015 yards and 11 touchdowns. He helped turn around a Rutgers program that went 1-11 in 2002 and finished 11-2 with a second straight bowl appearance in 2006.

Brewers Rolling Along, Pound Stros

The Milwaukee Brewers game last night was a beautiful thing to watch. Although Brewers pitcher Ben Sheets got his 9th win of the season, he did struggle early. Playing at home the Milwaukee Brewers have been especially sweet, they are an NL-best 28-13 at Miller Park and have won 10 of their last 12 games since being no-hit by the Tigers' Justin Verlander on June 12. We need the Brewers to keep the ball rollin'!

Jenkins jack shoots Brewers past bothersome Rangers

Milwaukee Brewers Geoff Jenkins wasn't by any means having a career outing against the Texas Rangers Sunday night. Jenkins went 0-for-5 before coming up to bat in the 12th inning and crushing a 3-run blast to center to salvage the weekend series with the Rangers that ended with the Brewers only able to take 1 game from the bothersome Texas Rangers in a 3 game series.

Green Bay Packer release 2 O-Lineman

Kevin Barry's once-promising career with the Green Bay Packers ended Friday when the team cut the backup offensive lineman.
Also released was left tackle Josh Bourke, who less than a month ago was practicing at minicamp as the primary backup to Chad Clifton. Both Barry (torn quadriceps tendon) and Burke (back) missed the entire 2006 season with injuries.

Smooth Sailing!

The Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs I witnessed on Tuesday night went without a single hitch. The tickets my brother purchased from Ticket King, a local ticket broker in the Milwaukee area were will-called at the stadium something that I originally was very weary of. I mentioned in the previous post how I was concerned about driving 2 hours to Milwaukee without the tickets in hand, all the concern was for nothing when we received the tickets and went on into Miller Park to watch the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs.

Goin' to Miltown!

In about 15 minutes I will be getting in the car and heading for the Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs game tonight. My brother was able to obtain tickets from a ticket broker in Milwaukee known as I guess, Ticket King. We are suppose to pick the tickets up right at the stadium via the will-call window. I am extremely excited and hope the Brewers can get a will needed win over the Cubs. I am a little leery about heading down to Milwaukee without the tickets in hand but I was told by another colleague that I have absolutely nothing to worry about. He said he has dealt with this particular ticket outfit before and assured me that I have nothing to worry about. So here I go!!!
