According to the Pete Dougherty of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, any Packer who uses Twitter in camp while on the clock will be fined the maximum amount of $1,701.

How the hell did they come up with that exact dollar amount?

There must be some significant meaning to 1701?

I'm guessing it's not significant, but rather probably a calculated nominal value based on whatever formula they've used to determine the maximum amount of a fine (e.g. 1/100 of minimum rookie wage or whatever).

In unrelated news, I'm paying just about that much for a new i7 computer/workstation soon.

I would like to ofer a standing ovation to the Packers staff for this decision, and cordially suggest that they treble or quadruple the fine.

Fuck Twitter. :pottytrain2:

By the way, $1,701 is a rather harsh penalty for training camp. According to this site , for the 2008 NFL training camp, rookies made $775 per week and veterans made $1,100 a week. So $1,701 would represent more than a week's salary even for veterans.

Again, I applaud this decision on the part of the Packers staff.

1701 -- it's homage to the anniversary of the formation of the Kingdom of Prussia.

Either that, or it's LisaNova's phone extension.

This means...during practice? I love to hear what the guys have to say after.

I know players get fined $17,000 if they skip a day of training camp. Maybe they want to fine them a little over a tenth of that.

Edit: I saw on Chad Ochocinco's twitter that he posted a picture of his team's practice schedule of an entire day of training camp. Bet the Bengals coaches weren't too happy about that.

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot
