I don't think the naming of a street has anything to do with money ... as per the hold up.

It is a topic that will generate press.. you can be sure that some politician is going to utilize it for their gain. Without a doubt.

Street Signs.. deed changes, zoning changes.. etc.. a politician can have a field day if they choose to oppose it.

I third the idea of renaming Holmgren Way after 🇲🇲. Still bitter about '97. [assault]

Btw, I don't think Holmgren survives the upcoming zombie plague. You all know what happens to people who lose their cool.

This option cost zero dollars, as there is a Thompson Lake  in WI already. Up in my neck of the woods it is.

I don't remember anyone saying it was too costly, but rather the political candidate saying that amount should be used elsewhere instead. That's how politics ruined it. It wasn't because it cost too much. As the initial post states, the Packers bring in TONS of revenue. Renaming a sign shouldn't be an issue and once the election garbage is over, it'll probably happen within a year or two of the elected's term.

In other words, some bitchass politician figured they could use a gesture that shouldn't be debated as a tool for their being elected. If I could remember whom that was, I'd cast an ignorant vote in spite of them. Purely out of their blatant utter idiotic ignorance of what the Packers do for, not just Green Bay, but for the whole damn state of Wisconsin!

Ted Thompson fishes on a regular basis.

I think Thompson Lake sounds better than Thompson Way, Ave, Dr, etc...

did Ron Wolf get anything named after him?

with Thompson white hair maybe a snow top mountain might be something good to name after him

Also I thought about maybe renaming the local airport? But that's named after the first aviator from Brown County to lose his life in his country's service...

Wolf has the Wolf River!!


Nah, I don't think Ron Wolf had anything, but I feel he should too.

Wolf, Thompson, McCarthy, Favre and Rodgers. As a person, I understand why Holmgren left, but as a fan it pisses me off. Packers had a good thing going and he bailed and left us fans with ... Ray, frickin, Rhodes. Okay, so that's on Ron Wolf, but if Holmgren had stayed, it wouldn't have happened!

See why bother naming a street after any of them.. they own their place in Packer history.. and everyone (yes even the most belligerent Viking or Bears fan :-" ) knows the Packers history.

If you must do some sort of statue or landmark type decor instead of altering the navigation system of a city.

Not to mention it will affect my Garmin and cost me money to update. [palm]

If it is a new road.. fine.. but renaming a random road around the stadium district.. just to match another mistake in time.. doesn't seem logical.

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
