Forget about the Favre thing, the horrible OL, etc.

The thing that still gets about Ted Thompson is the whole Randy Moss thing. That was a horrible judge of talent. But I guess thats why their BB and the Pats.

You do know Moss didn't want to play here because he resented being told that he'd be held accountable for his behavior here, right?

I don't understand what you mean. Who told him that? And BB didn't tell him he would be held accountable? I'm confused. I've never heard that the Randy Moss deal was not possible to begin with. If its true that Randy Moss did not want to play in GB, then I stand corrected but I had never heard that Randy Moss didn't want to come here.

This blog sums up my feelings about the Moss thing:

"Randy Moss eventually went to the New England Patriots for a fourth round pick. What made this so baffling? Ted Thompson selected wideout James Jones in the third round, a long-term project at wide receiver. Do you go with a long-term project in round three or arguably the best receiver in the NFL in the fourth round? If you go with the long-term project, then why keep Brett Favre around with such a commitment to rebuilding?"

I've read several articles in which Randy Moss is quoted as scoffing the Packers' management for telling him that he would be expected to behave well in Green Bay. He seemed to find it insulting, beneath him. Apparently the Patriots didn't demean him in such a fashion (plus they offered a higher pick at the last minute for him), so he went there instead. Of course, Moss was at the time considered a terrible team player, so I don't know why he found it so shocking that a team would expect him to resolve his behavioral issues.

We didn't need Randy Moss. We had Greg Jennings.

dfosterf (21h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
