Anyone more familiar with a "broken leg" know if it will have any long-term implications career-wise for Sherrod? I sure hope not, but a nasty leg break seems like it could be potentially career threatening. Someone tell me otherwise!

Wow, that's great news. I wasn't aware of that. Although I guess it depends on exactly what bone (s) are broken and how bad. At the very least, I'm sure this will hinder his development. ::sigh::

But from what I've heard, Nerd is right. His season's over but he'll return 100% next year most likely.

Yeah, Finley's drops are a real head scratcher. No doubt in my mind he's still a Top 10 TE in the league, but he's not as good as Gronkowski or Graham. Could be be playing a little scared since coming back from that knee injury last season? I suppose anything is possible, but I really hope Rodgers and his receivers really buckle down this week and work on their catches outdoors. It's been pretty mild for this time of the year so far and it's only going to get colder as we get into January and the ball gets even harder to catch.

I wouldn't mind seeing Gurly activated, but in all honesty, with Sherrod out for the year and potentially not having Bulaga for this game and Clifton probably still at least a week away from playing a game, my guess is they'll activate T Chris Campbell of the practice squad for depth.

Finley didn't take offense when it was suggested that a player of his caliber is supposed to make spectacular catches look almost routine and routine catches automatic.

At least he's owning up to his mistakes. See, he's not really a hot head like many of you think.

There is more of a need to activate some O-line warm bodies rather than activate Gurley.

According to Packers News, Derek had to have emergency surgery in KC to insert a rod in his leg because they were clean breaks of both his tibia and fibula.

Am I the only not ready to give up on Finley? The guy is a freak athletically and has had some great games. I also don't think he's completely to blame either. I think Rodgers has gotten used to Finley as a big target and throws him a lot of passes that aren't easy to catch. Of course a few of his drops are dumbfounding.

We need to retain him, as our offense is the only thing keeping us afloat so far this year. With each dropped pass, Finley's asking price for his next contract drops as well. I know he's cost us some points, but it might be for the best in the long run because we'll be able to resign him to a reasonable long-term deal.

beast (13h) : 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

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
