Free agents often not worth the money, Ron Wolf says· Page 2

You have got to be kidding me? Ron Wolf says something vanilla in support of the Packers and that means he's fully onboard with the way Ted Thompson is running them? Did you expect him to be critical even if he hated what Ted Thompson was doing and thought he was squandering Rodgers career? You just don't get it. I worked in media and got quotes from guys like Ron for years...got some from him in the bowels of Lambeau with Favre and Holmgren many moons ago.

What you've done is EXACTLY what I've said you enjoy here. You love your ears being tickled. Ron Wolf's quotes are repeated by many on a daily basis in similar situations. It's like Jon Gruden talking about QB's...he rarely says a bad word...he just loves them all. Do you honestly think Gruden loves all the QB's he says he does on MNF, or do you think he's grandstanding? Go work in media for any length of time and perhaps you'd understand.

I pulled more than just one thing from the article...the ambiguous statement was very curious. He also didn't sign off on TT's free agency approach even though some of you think that he did. Read with OBJECTIVITY and you will see he clearly didn't but that is too much to ask of you. You want that feather on the earlobe gently stroking back and forth.

Give it up.

You've been exposed again.

Not that it was hard.

Senseless dribble!

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."

Yes...I won't be posting in-season. I'm active during the draft time and TC/pre-season.

I'll NEVER stop answering back to people who want their ears tickled.

Would you pay good money to guys like EDS, Erik Walden, Darryn Colledge, Tramon Williams, AJ Hawk, Davon House? Nope...clowns like that aren't worth it but stupid teams pay big money for garbage. The FA I speak of is of the gamechanging variety .

As Ketchman often says, if you're paying for a FA from another team, you already overspent because you just paid more for that guy than the team with the best intel on him is willing to pay.

If anything I actually think you're better off with the 2nd tier EDS/Guion/Sean Richardson types. Identify specific needs at affordable contracts. The Saints tried to solve their safety problem by throwing money at Byrd and he was done for the year so 2014 they're still down a safety AND 8 mile in cap space.

Ruminate on it. Seriously. Vic Ketchman is one of the worst "journalists" I've ever read. If you find yourself getting your opinion on the Pack from Packers.com it's definitely time to find a new source of Packers news.

I'm sure Vic doesn't put the Blood Sweat and Tears into his column as you do into your online posting.

Please expand your thoughts on Vic.

I think he is entertaining and at times, informational.

Look....

There's a painted pony!

Zero2Cool (18m) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (14h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (14h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : what's so funny?
