Remember when everyone was upset on how James Starks wasn't getting reps or wasn't activated for a game or two after he returned from his injury. Do you guys think MM was getting him ready and trying to keep him off NFL tapes?

Like that opposing team had no idea how to stop him come the playoffs, they had no idea what kind of back he is / could be therefore it gave us an edge?

Excellent strategy move by MM IMO if it actually was that, caught everyone off guard.

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

I mentioned this back then too, but considering how he still managed something like 4.7 yards on 11 carries against one of the best run defenses in the league ... I lost my belief in it, lol.

Honestly I don't think MM is that kind of coach. If Starks wasn't ready then he wouldn't play but if he was ready I think MM would play him. I think MM would do his best to win every game, especially concentrating on the next game on the schedule and would use all the best available players to win that game.

Some people go so far as to say that MM doesn't even really strategize until the playoffs. He doesn't want other teams to know what to expect. I'm not sure, myself. It does seem like they start out fast every year, then suck for like 8 games before squeaking into the playoffs.

I think it just happened. Starks was finally 100%, and ready.
MM saw the chance, took it, and it paid off.

dfosterf (4h) : Can't find the toggle, lol

dfosterf (4h) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .

Zero2Cool (4h) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.

dfosterf (5h) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes

dfosterf (5h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (5h) : *Friday*

dfosterf (5h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (5h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (5h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (5h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (5h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (5h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (5h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (5h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (5h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (5h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (5h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

beast (5h) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?

dfosterf (6h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol

dfosterf (6h) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.

dfosterf (6h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise

dfosterf (6h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...

beast (13h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea

dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk
