Cramming for finals lasts a week or two, remember how mentally exhausted you were?

This is 24/7 for 7-8 months. And if ya goof up a final or two you're ridiculed in the press and savaged across GB forums and blogs. And then because GB is such a tight nit community w/ the fans one may desire to hide with shame in the corner of his room.

I'd want it just because I'd want to be that successful and helpful not to mention the fame and fortune that went with it.

The wall appears to be real if only in the mind.

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."

Let's ask a rookie from last year who is a WR...that would be a nice apples to apples comparison:

I dont know what Cooks thinks he was feelin'; but it wasn't no "rookie wall." LOL, Rookie wall! Funny. How many padded practices did he have by week 10, SIX in the previous 10 weeks, one of them being a Bye week?????? 12 hours of padded practiced in 10 weeks caused Bradin to get tired? Bullsh!t!!!!!! Methinks 10-12 weeks of a 21 YO millionaire imbibing the NO's night life was tiren' ole' Bradin out. LOL, Funny! Rookie wall?!?!?!?

Note unrelated to post: Some feel they always have to be right; I dont get it; but it's a reality. One desperate to be right, trying to disprove or prove a theory cannot do so by presenting one purported outlier fact. It is simply irrational.

Sound like Randall may miss a game or 2.

Adams, White, Montgomery, Janis and a UDFA?

Jones comes available , I think we will see him in Green Bay.

Only way the Packers get James Jones is via trade and unless it's for Chris Banjo or some other fringe player we don't "need" as much as we "need" James Jones. I say forget bout it!

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.
