In the closing minutes of the Packers' latest loss Sunday night, Washington wide receiver Pierre Garcon added insult to Green Bay's very real injury, displaying his feelings of exultation in his team's victory by absolutely murdering an innocent foam cheesehead on the sideline.

Garcon, who had six catches for 116 yards and a 70-yard touchdown – one of about a hundred long scores allowed by Green Bay's utterly decimated defensive backfield – slammed the poor cheese hat on the ground and then easily ripped it in half, before shouting something seemingly toward the stands, perhaps at Packers fans who'd thrown the unfortunate cheddar-slice headgear onto the field.

The Packers did not play well Sunday night, and they deserved to lose. The injuries are borderline unbelievable at this point, and certainly a big reason for the team's struggles, but they're a part of the game. Green Bay's lack of depth and inability to overcome their injurious impact with better coaching and execution was on naked display in the nation's capital. The win meant a ton for Washington, which lost at home to the Packers in the playoffs last year and is contending for position in the crowded NFC playoff race.

So, celebrate however you want, Pierre, you earned it; you'll hear no crusty, "have-some-class!" sports-writer grumbling from me. I thought it was pretty funny. Maybe he's lactose intolerant. Maybe we can send Garcon some of Wisconsin Cheese Mart's finest and try and change his viciously anti-dairy sentiment.

Incidentally, the Packers cheesehead hat actually has a pretty interesting history, which you can read about here.

For his part, Aaron Rodgers played well. He completed 63.4 percent of his passes for 351 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions, an impressive rating of 115. But there was once again almost no running game, and the defense physically was unable to defend Washington's attack. 

Cornerback Demetri Goodson was carted off the field in tears in the first half, Don Barclay and Blake Martinez left the game with injuries, and even backups-to-the-backups LaDarius Gunter and Kentrell Brice went down, further damaging the already-depleted secondary.

There are major problems with this team and huge holes that need to be filled. But, perhaps Packers Nation will find some solidarity in everyone coming together to simply hate Pierre Garcon.

Born in Milwaukee but a product of Shorewood High School (go ‘Hounds!) and Northwestern University (go ‘Cats!), Jimmy never knew the schoolboy bliss of cheering for a winning football, basketball or baseball team. So he ditched being a fan in order to cover sports professionally - occasionally objectively, always passionately. He's lived in Chicago, New York and Dallas, but now resides again in his beloved Brew City and is an ardent attacker of the notorious Milwaukee Inferiority Complex.

After interning at print publications like Birds and Blooms (official motto: "America's #1 backyard birding and gardening magazine!"), Sports Illustrated (unofficial motto: "Subscribe and save up to 90% off the cover price!") and The Dallas Morning News (a newspaper!), Jimmy worked for web outlets like CBSSports.com, where he was a Packers beat reporter, and FOX Sports Wisconsin, where he managed digital content. He's a proponent and frequent user of em dashes, parenthetical asides, descriptive appositives and, really, anything that makes his sentences longer and more needlessly complex.

Jimmy appreciates references to late '90s Brewers and Bucks players and is the curator of the unofficial John Jaha Hall of Fame. He also enjoys running, biking and soccer, but isn't too annoying about them. He writes about sports - both mainstream and unconventional - and non-sports, including history, music, food, art and even golf (just kidding!), and welcomes reader suggestions for off-the-beaten-path story ideas.
