I think the franchise has done themselves plenty of favors with the Lambeau remodel and what not. This current team is going to be able to do much better in a capless NFL (lets hope they can get a new CB agreement in place by March '10 so this doesn't become a reality) than the old Packer franchise from the 70's and 80's.

I didnt gear much about this - so what happens in 2010 no cap on what they can spend anymore?

Sounds like what its like here in england with soccer and it sucks. Only the 'best' teams can afford all the good players ie best by teams that have the most money. Simple as that. BORING ... not that I care about soccer but from what I hear it sounds boring as heck.

I personally dont enjoy sitting in front of my PC for 3 hrs to watch the Packers games. I live in Idaho so I am pretty much stuck with Seattle or Denver every week - barf. I know I could go to a bar or stream it online, but I would much rather a few bucks and watch it on my own couch.

I'd be all over PPV. I have been calling for it for years. The stranglehold they have on NFL broadcasting is annoying as hell. PPV and other avenues to watch the NFL would be great. You can get ten times as many games with mlb.tv for what, 75 bucks a year? Yet you need to have Direct TV and then buy NFL Sunday Ticket to have the game at home.

Who'd go for pay-per-view? I wouldn't even shell out five bucks for a PPV. Cable, satellite, etc. are already expensive enough -- now add on an extra fee per game? Not me. I'd just go somewhere that was showing the game. The Joint downtown hands out free shots every time the Packers score a touchdown.

You'd be surprised with how many people would buy a PPV game...I would. I rarely get Packers home games here in Virginia, I'd talk my mom into letting me get it, lol.

I wouldn't be surprised because I'd pay to see the Pack. My old way of doing it was costly - go to bar. That means take wife. Wife eats. I drink. Ends up being a lot of money every weekend.

Also, when you're at a bar, wouldn't it be hard to consentrate on a game?

I guess I was thinking about those of us in the Packers' natural viewing area. For us play-by-play wouldn't make sense. For those of you in other parts of the country, I can see how it would be cost effective. And even at $80 a year ($5 x 16 games), that's a hell of a lot cheaper than buying the Sunday Ticket (assuming you're not interesting in watching other teams).

I still think it's ridiculous that Monday Night Football got moved to ESPN, so you have to have cable or satellite to see it.

Mucky Tundra (1m) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (2h) : HUMP DAY

beast (2h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (2h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (3h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (3h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (3h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (3h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (3h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (3h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (3h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

beast (5h) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (5h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (5h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (5h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (5h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (5h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (18h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : Packers have $60M+ of 2025 cap space on paper TODAY.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : I'm rooting for the Lions to lose.
