I know he knows he's not a journalist, but Florio pisses me off. I like the site. Let me rephrase that. I like to stay in the loop on NFL rumors. What pisses me off is skewed and biased slant toward the Vikings. Let me rephrase that. What pisses me off is that he acts like he's not biased toward the Vikings. Look at the rumor mill right now. Top story relates Childress wearing a visor to practice. Is that seriously news? What the hell? How about little love for the Packers. No way, that is way too much to ask. Can't talk about Rodgers' huge potential, or any news on the competition along the o-line, or getting our defense healthy... NO WAY! All that is ever on PFT about the Packers is "Collins is unhappy!", "Bigby is unhappy!", "Jennings is unhappy!", "Kampman is unhappy!", "Driver is unhappy!".... BLAH BLAH BLAH!

what the heck, another blurb on PFT where Florio does his best to bring down the hammer on the Packers.

Isn't EVERY team pretty secretive when it comes to injuries? I mean, it makes sense. It's not breaking the rules. If it's not cheating, then I don't have a problem with the organization being secretive about the injuries so that opponents have to game plan like the player is healthy.

It's something all NFL teams do. It's just the way it is.

lol, yeah, that's lame.

Of course the Green Bay Packers are the only NFL team that are secretive against injuries. It's common knowledge. Duh.

Reading those comments at PFT ... makes me glad we're not a 'mainstream' website. Lots of negative and pessimistic people out there. Wow.

Florio blasted the Patriots for their injury report too. I've been reading his stuff for years. How many of you actually read the other articles that are NON Packers? He's jumped on other teams for this too. Someone in the WI media wrote something about Florio and his mistake on Bigby and that is probably why he spent so much ink on that story. Not to mention things are kind of slow. Speaking slow, I'm sick of the one liners that are for the Packers but regard Brett. He's not a freaking Packer anymore so stop wasting our one line spot on a Free Agent!

I've read many of his articles over time that aren't Packer related. I do think he has a slight Packer biased in some way, but I'm not "Florio expert" as are you, so I can only speak from what I know.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (11h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (11h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (12h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (12h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (13h) : Who? What?

beast (21h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
