That’s pretty neat.
Shows you that not all of his ex team mates don’t think he’s a jerk.
It’s like anything....some people just don’t get along or see eye to eye.

This article lost my interest as soon as I saw Grog Jennings name. I'm pissed I even gave them credit for a click/view. Next time put a warning label on the link or something.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Did you try this on First Pick to see if it would fly? 😝

Maybe some dead money due to guaranteed money, but both teams were going to pay it anyway.
Aaron Rodgers playing in Las Vegas in 2020.
The League would do anything possible to make that happen.
The Packers would have 5 - 1st round picks, they could fill any needed hole/holes they feel the need.
Murphy didn't have the balls to blow up the team a year ago, no way he has them to make a move like this.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

If Aaron is running all this, it will not work. If Aaron spread bad rumors about Ted's health, tanked a season to get Mike fired and is making Mark Murphy order personnel moves like signing Jimmy Graham, this is going to crash and burn spectacularly.

Fortunately that scenario is far fetched. Right?

And I believe the Dolphins were interested, just not as much as the Vikings or Packers.

So I found it funny that their seeming plans for warm Florida beaches plan got moved to the land of 1,000 frozen lakes, lol, at least for two years... then he got down to the Dolphins but only for a year.

As for Finley, for years he's comments have just seemed like generic fan comments, not much insight. The only non-generic comment was when one tries "overcoach him, that’s when he’s going to do his own thing". But that can mean so many different things... including when Finley tried to coach Rodgers on how to throw the ball to him his rookie year... to more important coaching like please use the check downs... but it's so general, it doesn't tell us anything.

Though the last line leaves me confused... as Finley seems to think it's trust that you have run the right routes and show that know the plays to gain Rodgers trust.... how exactly is that crazy?

Finley's last line (I tried to quote it): "It's crazy to say, I played with the guy 6/7 years and, uh, I had to gain my trust BY, uh, running the right routes and knowing the plays [shaking his head side to side] it's crazy"

Certainly seems crazy that he would expect his guys to know the plays and what route to run? Why would Rodgers care if his receivers know what they are doing? Mind your own business, Aaron.

Finley doesn't confirm anything. He's turned himself from athlete who can't shut up to someone who wants to be a shock jock to get on radio shows.

When Jordy Nelson or Randall Cobb says something, then I'm ears.

dfosterf (now) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .

Zero2Cool (5m) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.

dfosterf (50m) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (57m) : *Friday*

dfosterf (1h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (1h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (1h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (1h) : 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

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) : 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
