Overview
The Green Bay Packers were ranked 6th best in the team guide. As one of the best ranked teams in our league-wide survey, there are not many things that are drastically wrong here, but there is clear consensus among the player respondents regarding what they would like to see improved.

For starters, while the locker room has a ton of space, players believe it can use a refresh and modernization. Second, we learned that players believe that additional physical therapists should be added to the staff; many players noted that they have outsourced their physical therapy due to understaffing.

As the only team without a private owner, 82% of the players believe that the team is willing to spend the money necessary to upgrade the facility, ranking 22nd in that category.

For me, it seems like this is a very important opportunity for some competitive advantage. I would take to heart the players critiques and do everything in my power to correct all things correctable, I'd do it fast, and I'd be public about it. The Packers do not lack for money, the cap is what's tight. e.g. no daycare facilities- On a team that touts itself as family friendly - Mark Murphy could correct that pretty much instantly, same with a shortage of physical therapy personnel. The Packers should absolutely attack any perceived shortcomings, especially that lack of daycare, one of 11 teams not providing it...stupid... Rod Tidwell and his wife would never put up with that shit...failure to do so should require an explanation to the shareholders, and by extension, all Packer fans.

Ha. Nice catch. Taking the reference a bit further, imagine the conversation:

Husband: Jerry says we got an offer from Minnesota and Green Bay.

Wife: Did you see what the union said? Green Bay don't even have daycare.That"s messed up.  They're cheap, and I don't want to have to go looking for daycare.

Husband: Jerry, We going to Minnesota 

Happy wife, happy life. It's a thing.

So are they wanting free daycare? If so, that’s bullshit. Us regular working folk have to pay out the ass for it so why should they have it for free?

Instead, what you want, imo, is for Mark to get his hands on that NFLPA report card, with all 60 questions asked and answered, and fix what can be fixed. We only saw what the NFLPA wanted us to see, so far. My bet is they will trickle more information going forward, we shall see. If I was Mark Murphy, I would have already called the two upholstery shops that I found online in Green Bay and had them in my locker room yesterday coming up with innovative and attractive cushioning solutions for my players. I would have put out the help wanted sign for the missing staff, and I'd be clearing some room for our new daycare center in the existing facility, or buying one in the community, and/or 
getting an engineering  firm hot on designing our new daycare center. 

It isn't his money. In a way, it's kind of nobody's money, and all he has to do is make sure we dont run out of it. There might have been a time when that was a concern, but that time is long gone. Coddle the hell out of these entitled bastards and their families, and as I stated earlier, be public about it. Fans may think its great being 6th on that list, patting the Packers on the back, and US news might call Green Bay the 2nd best city in America to live in, but I doubt any prospective player ever read that article or would give a shit about the why behind it. The Packers should absolutely strive to be the biggest ass-kissers of players in the NFL, for practical reasons, not philosophical ones, INCLUDING the visitors side locker room and staff accommodation, as yet another example of creating competive advantage where possible.

The Packers complaining about the "modernization" of the locker room is a joke. You soft panzies maybe if you string together multiple wins in the playoffs you can get the luxuries. You didn't see Rocky Balboa or Léon Gaultier crying about needing to be pampered you damn princesses!!

NUT UP

Maybe this makes me "sexist", but if I'm pulling in over $450k a year, I'd rather my wife be raising our kids than daycare. 🤷‍♂️ I'm weird like that.

I'm thinking olive drab with white piping for the cushions, kinda get away from the BP British Petroleum) green and gold (really yellow, but whatever). I'm not sure on the cup holder situation in the locker room, but I'd look into it.

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
