The more I think about this, the more I like it. Bennett was a better blocker but wasn't going to get open like Jimmy can. We just need a sure-fire guy to complement Davante with suddeness, height, and power, and we'll finally be able to beat these teams we haven't been able to beat in the last 8 years.

Loyalty and tributes have their place at banquets and parades, but to win in the NFL that must be set aside in favor of fielding the best team that one can. Releasing Jordy Nelson was the correct thing for BG to do. CBs were finding it increasingly less of a task to to defend him in spite of his above average route running skills. He has gone to play for the Raiders and I wish him well as GB is not scheduled to play them this year.

Next, GB saved $10 + million that enabled BG to sign TE Jimmy Graham and improve the team. After all improving the team is the #1 job of any GM. and IMO, BG is doing just that.

I still have, and always will have, unending respect for Bart Starr and Ray Nitschke and Randy White and many others that played for the Packers. Yet time and death await us all and sometimes we just have to put on our big boy pants and move forward in the best interest of "The Team".

You're making excuses for one side that in reality work for both sides. Packers are a business, BUT so are individual contractors, such as players. It's all business so that excuse doesn't work.

Nelson got paid well, but the Packers also got some damn good results from him too, so again that again is a wash. And when Nelson signed that contract many were surprised it was so low... claiming Nelson clearly left money on the table as WRs of his talents were getting a good bit more elsewhere.

We are Packers fans and we do love our team. But that doesn't mean we can't love our players as well. Nor does it mean our team is always right.

If the Packers asked Nelson to reduce his salary to 50% he probably would... but less than 20%... when he probably would be a starter? I don't think there is a single person that would do that...

(Tom Brady doesn't count as he was the very poor one in his marriage)

Listened to the interview at work. It's clear the Packers wanted to go in another direction. It wasn't just about the $$$

dfosterf (5h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (5h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (5h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (5h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (6h) : In your face, HBO!

Mucky Tundra (6h) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

Mucky Tundra (6h) : *years

Mucky Tundra (6h) : @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 (6h) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (6h) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (6h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (6h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (6h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (7h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (9h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (9h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (10h) : 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.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Packers introduce 1923-inspired classic uniform, leather-look helmet

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Happy to see site feels more snappy snappy

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
