Rumor has it DT Ricky Jean-Francois could be released to call up G/T Adam Pankey from the PS

(Thanks uffda udfa, for shouting it in shout! PS calling it rumor because the up and down swing of this story... Is Francois staying or going)

IN 2015 our BU preseason OL was Vujonivich, Walker, Tretter, Taylor, Barclay. 3 are starters, Barclay has started and Walker is 9th OL in Jax. Many thought Taylor [or Walker] would be cut. I thought both were in the top 53 and both were kept on roster.

This is a shock! I dont know why they signed RJF in the 1st place; but you can never have enough CBs. Pankey for Gunter; never would have guessed that in a million years. They must feel comfy with Odom as #4 for a few games, I guess they could put Ryan or Thomas out there as well. Maybe someone offered Pankey a roster spot; I gotta go watch him again.

I'm guessing they really like Dial or were just doing the vet a favor.

I don't remember thinking much of Pankey but Spriggs did leave the game Sunday because of a hamstring. I don't like how it looks for Bulaga though. What exactly is Patrick doing on the team if we need Pankey so much then? He isn't active on gameday so they don't see him as the top guy to back up C or G and Murphy/Spriggs are the guys at T.

Bulaga might still be on the shelf and Spriggs got hurt against the Seahawks. If Brian and Spriggs can't go Sunday against the Falcons, Pankey is your backup to Murphy at RT.

Yeah 5 OT seems like a lot. But Pankey did finish among the better pass blockers in one on one drills

And during week 1 there was a number of struggling OL, I can't help but wonder if some other teams might of been sniffing another for another OL to add, especially with some questioning if Spriggs is 100% because I guess he left the game with a hamstring injury?

Maybe they are going to bring RJF back once Spriggs/Bulaga are healthy. Since he's a vet he won't go to waivers and since they already paid him maybe he agreed to stick around and come back.

dfosterf (15m) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes

dfosterf (30m) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (37m) : *Friday*

dfosterf (40m) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (41m) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (52m) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (59m) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (1h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (1h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (1h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (1h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (1h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (1h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (1h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

beast (1h) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?

dfosterf (1h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol

dfosterf (1h) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.

dfosterf (1h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise

dfosterf (1h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...

beast (8h) : 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?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : *years

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea

dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

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

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

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.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.
