Wolf really did hit a grand slam with his evaluation of Favre. I mean nobody saw it coming, but Wolf himself. I think one of the reasons why Thompson was hired was because Wolf recommended him and quite honestly, Wolf would know best.

Wolf also endorsed Sherman as GM... so just as he was as a GM.. Wolf missed on a 1st round pick of GM in Sherman.

When your a decision maker if your hitting on about 35% of your moves your not doing so bad. Wolf wasn't going to hit everything and you can also point to Rhodes being a disaster as a hire, but I would still value his opinion over maybe anyone's that has worked in this organization in the past two decades.

No doubt.. just throwing it out there that he has missed his share.. do you think 35 is the benchmark? not sure it is that high...

Man, that would have been great if the Packers could have snagged Andy Reid, damn!

Truth be known, I'm TT's baby!

I heard that somewhere and I can't remember from who. Maybe Wolf himself in an interview.

I would say between 30% and 35% is where you'd want to be with your moves if you want to be a Super Bowl contender.

GM's make so many decisions that there is no way you can get more right than wrong. It's just the nature of the business.

We're all people so criticizing Thompson over his massive ego is hypocritical especially when half of the people that we all admire like a Brett Favre and a Mike Holmgren also have egos.

Mucky Tundra (15m) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (36m) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (2h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (3h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (3h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (20h) : 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) : 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?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I saw that and thought it was kind of lame.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : Packers new locker room is pretty awesome. Great for morale, imo

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Shuffled things on the web server. Hope it makes it faster.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Other times, it's turtle ass

beast (23-Jul) : Thanks for saying something, I thought it was slow, but assumed it was on my end

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Yeah, I noticed that too. Is it slow for PackerPeople.com too?
