--- We're lumped up with another NFCN team and I'll bet you know who that is without looking.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

"learn from Raji" - that's a laugh.

I am extremely pleased with the Clinton-Dix pick; I'm moderately pleased with the Adams pick - I didn't want a WR that high in the draft, but he seems like a good choice - similar to James Jones but better at holding onto the ball - hopefully. I didn't like the choice of a D-Lineman and a TE this early in the draft also, and neither seems like much of a bargain. I'm willing to keep an open mind on Thornton and Rodgers though. They both seem like projects.

Ted shoulda got an ILB and a second Safety by now. Hopefully he accomplishes that effectively on Saturday.

"When you're younger, you're a little more impressionable, it's easier to get (to them) than a guy who's been doing it for six or seven years. I want to get my hands on those young guys." -Mike Daniels

No worries about being around Raji, in Mike Daniels I trust!

Hey guys!

Haven't posted in a while. Thought I would try to contribute some more when I can.

I actually like our draft so far. Seem to be hitting on need positions.

Not sure about the talent a inside backer in this draft. Shazier and Mosely were both guys I would have picked over Dix, but I think getting the consensus best safety was a great fall-back plan.

S Clinton-Dix - Will be immediate upgrade over MD Jennings and anyone else. Will help the defense from day 1.

WR - Davis - intelligence is biggest attribute. Contributor from day one. Can play all three WR positions which GB loves. Most productive WR in college.

DT/DE: Thornton - can't say I've heard of this guy. Seems to have great size for both DE and NT in our 3-4. Highlights show a big boy with great speed and athleticism. Potential seems high.

TE: Rodgers - looks a little soft for a TE. Could likely use some conditioning + going up against Clay, Peppers, Neal, and Perry for a few months this offseason. Another potential pick. Should not unseat Quarless. Still holding out hope for a Finley return.

I like the Thornton pick. One of those prospects you didn't hear a lot about going inLooks like a kid who had to deal with a lot of adversity playing on a bad team particularly on offense. He has all you look for in a 3-4 defensive end prospect. I believe he was picked to later fill the void left by Jolly.

Zero2Cool (1h) : if you're on mobile, open the menu and its the "sun" icon

dfosterf (1h) : Can't find the toggle, lol

dfosterf (1h) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .

Zero2Cool (1h) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.

dfosterf (1h) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes

dfosterf (2h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (2h) : *Friday*

dfosterf (2h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (2h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (2h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (2h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (2h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (2h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (2h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (2h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (2h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (2h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (2h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

beast (2h) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?

dfosterf (3h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol

dfosterf (3h) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.

dfosterf (3h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise

dfosterf (3h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...

beast (9h) : 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) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

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

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?
