FWIW, Dez Moses just left minicamp practice with ice on his lower right leg per Jason Wilde tweet.

Also, Starks is fumbling a lot and Crosby and Tavecchio look to be battling head to head in their kicking competition.

I have listened to people (Not necessarily nerdmann) complain that coaches and GM don't tell the fans everything they know about the players and their injuries and do they all get along in the showers or not for years. Not one organization has opened up more because of these complaints. Those coaches who seem to want to be the buddy of the fan don't seem to last very long in this league.Perhaps it is just a coincidence.

As for the OTAs and mini camps and the like, I don't really pay a whole lot of attention to them. They don't REALLY count. Year after year after year we see one player getting more snaps and assume (At least some people do) that he is higher up the depth chart only to see that same player released before the final cuts are made. A great run or catch or pretend tackle in May, June, July and August does not show up on the NFL record books. I certainly like to see a player making adjustments to his new team or position but until he faces first team players from another team it is almost impossible to assume what he does in the spring or summer will actually transfer into something meaningful in the fall and winter.

This team should definitely put themselves at a competitive disadvantage during the season by fully disclosing injuries for no reason other than to make some fans happy. That's how a winning organization would run and not these crap teams the Packers have been putting out there.

If gangsters have inside knowledge of injuries, that knowledge can be used to increase gambling revenue. The injury reporting rules are meant to prevent this.

Hence, when lying on injury reports during the season, teams are benefiting organized crime.

If a player is out I personally do not give two shits why he is out because it doesn't matter. The guy isn't going to be playing whether I know if he has tendonitis or a severed tendon or a hand injury it simply doesn't matter if I know.

I doubt you care that much about organized crime anyways that it makes you want to vomit if they don't tell you if a guy strained his calf during OTAs. You are just whining because they aren't giving you what you want. LOL Organized crime is going to go nuts over the mysterious Dezman Moses OTA injury rofl give me a F-ing break.

I agree with your assessment above Steve but I thought the NFL gave the Packers a somewhat mild reprimand about 3-4 years ago when it came to listing injured players on the weekly reports and Mike got a little miffed and then put everyone down even guys who didn't miss any practices and still played that weeks game.

Rather derisively Mike said he wasn't a doctor and he couldn't tell if a minor ache or pain was going to keep a player out of the game.

No, players are required to sign a waiver to disclose health information.

Because messing with the honest gambling industry is the worst thing a player or team can do in any sport. Which is why they only lifetime ban players for a first offense if it is gambling. You can play on roids for 300 games and get a short suspension. But throw one game to mess with the gamblers and you are done forever. Even if you are only peripherally involved.

Because gambling is important. Careers built on cheating are not.

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!
