Just seems that they were messing with him a little bit in the way it played out. Kind of feel like he pissed Ted off somehow. Then again, Ted's not really emotional like that I guess.

Why would the NFL and Packers be different than other business? when people in business get let go, they are often get the time it takes to pack personal items and get escorted out. Been there done that.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

It happens to everyone except for the very few who retire when they chose.

beast (20h) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (20h) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (20h) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?
