During a Friday appearance on Sporting News Radios The Monty Show, Packers safety Atari Bigby disputed the notion that hes unhappy with his contract, or that he is boycotting offseason workouts because of it.

I think youve got the wrong guy, Bigby said regarding reports that he doesnt like his contractual situation.

I am at off-season camp, so lets get that straight, Bigby said. My ankles doing good. Im out there on my own on the side doing my little drills, running around . . . just, you know, taking it easy and making sure we go into the season healthy.

Even if theres no problem with his contract, it sounds like there was a serious problem with his ankle as evidenced by the fact that his ankle is still not sufficiently healed to allow him to participate in team drills five months after the season ended.

The ankle is good now, Bibgy said. I cant say its a hundred percent because I havent played a game, I havent done any cutting competitively. Ive been sprinting, jumping and hopping around, but it was a tough injury when I got hurt last season and I dont think everybody got the full understanding of how bad it really was. But the guy you saw in 08, that wasnt the Atari Bigby that we know.

Bigby signed a one-year, $1.545 million restricted free agent tender in April. Absent a new CBA, hell be a restricted free agent again in 2010.



There was a dispute about his contract?

It's starting to feel like there is a pronounced dislike for the Packers administration in the media, and I have to wonder why. They seem to be deliberately trying to discredit Ted Thompson in insidious ways.

I agree. They have to have something to report on in these quiet days. Maybe get the fans pumped with bringing out multiple items in a short time span.

If these reports where true, it'd be one quiet OTA.

just looking to get the OMG factor and increase traffic to their site. It's like the John and Kate Plus 8 effect. Lots of people watch the show. Now, they're going through a family disaster, and waaaay more people are watching the show now than ever before. Don't like that analogy? OK. It's the train wreck effect. You don't want look, but you can't look away.

Mike Forio is from West Virginai and liked Randy Moss and then became a Vikings "fan'.

Look in the pattern of stories on his blog:

The overboard defending the steroid maskers of the vikings
All the hope for the vikings.
The excessive atacks on Brett Favre who has said I am retired.
The attacks on Collins
The slander of Donald Driver.
This thing out of left field on Bigby.
Saying Aaron Kampmann is unhappy.

Mike Florio at PFT has not had one positive Packer opinion.
Nearly zero negative opinons on the Vikings.

Consider the source when you read this crap.

Same with Jay Glazer whom McCarthy considers a liar and despises.

It bugs me when Packer "fans" go on Florio's site and make anti-Packer comments actually falling for the Florio crap.

Mike Florio has said several positive things. In fact he agreed that the Packers made the right 'decision' with selecting Rodgers and moving forward with Rodgers.

However, he does not say many positive things. Why? Because turmoil sells, cheery does not. Blame the game, not the player.

It is nothing new. They have been doing this for the last 3 years. The Green Bay media are pathetic it seems. When there is no story, they just make one up.

It is the effect of 24 hr news, twitter and all this other bullshit. "Journalists" have become far from people who report news. With their blogs and such, it really is about how many hits a website can get, rather than reporting sports.
