No...READ Demovsky's piece if you want to read RIDICULOUSNESS. To post it and be proud of it is insane squared.

Yes, I honestly think that you and some others are happy we have a lot of good players over having more elites because of your worry about the cap.

If we had a Dez type talent at WR...are you freaking kidding me? We could have 4 guys as average as Davante Adams be super at WR.

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."

I dont care about Rob's article...I'm commenting on what youve said.

Read sschind's post, you can thumb your nose at the cap because you're a fan, not a GM. Some of us choose to understand the reality Ted and 31 other GMs live by. You are governed by a budget that has to influence every decision you make.

I don't want Dez because I don't like the idea of hiring babysitters for my employees I'm paying millions to because they can't act like adults in society...but other elite players, yes, give me as many as feasible. Draft well, and hopefully all picks become elite. I want Randall, Lacy, Elliot, and Pennell to thrive. Why would I oppose affordable excellence?

This is a sophmoric discussion on par with epic debates such as water is wet and the sun is hot. However, it's like watching Miss South Carolina discuss maps...it's painful to watch but I can't turn away.

If every drafted player becomes an All Pro, we won't have to worry about affording them all because the new drafted players will also be All Pro. Kind of a failure in logic, yes?

I hope they become studs too for the next 3 years. Cheap productive labor replenished each year sounds like a great way to win if you ask me.

Everyone will be happy.

10 seconds into it I remembered how awful, and funny, it was and had my first good laugh of the day. Well, not first good laughs, I did read some of Uffda's posts earlier.

Thank you.

You are probably right though about the other part.

dfosterf (5h) : Feelin' pfowish can't find the sun. No big deal, will drag a laptop out when the time comes

Zero2Cool (5h) : if you're on mobile, open the menu and its the "sun" icon

dfosterf (5h) : Can't find the toggle, lol

dfosterf (5h) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .

Zero2Cool (5h) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.

dfosterf (6h) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes

dfosterf (6h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (6h) : *Friday*

dfosterf (6h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (6h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (7h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (7h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (7h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (7h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (7h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (7h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (7h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (7h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (14h) : 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?

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

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.
