Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon really aren't all that bad.

For those who don't know Wayne's background, read this and tell me why the GREEN BAY PACKERS ever hired him?

From Wikipedia:

Despite his current job with the Packers, Larrivee has long been associated with Chicago sports, having spent over a decade as the voice of the Chicago Bears and nearly twenty years as the television voice of the Chicago Bulls.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Rodgers gives to Lacy. Lacy is tackled for a yard gain. Its 2nd and 9 YAWN"

Same with watching the Brewers on TV and listening to Uecher. Have to ask yourself at times, are they calling the same thing I'm watching.

But gotta keep the radio audience from changing the channel.

OK so maybe his actual calls on the game leave a bit to be desired but is there anyone else you would rather listen to when your team is on the losing end of a 8-0 beat down? In fact, on the off chance I do tune into a Brewers broadcast I kind of hope for a drubbing because Uek is so much more interesting when we are losing. He's really not that much different than Harry Doyle. He is one of only two living sports personalities that I would like to have lunch with (Bart Starr being the other) Not that there are any dead people I'd like to have lunch with but before they died there were a few I could think of.

You don't hire some kid out of college or from a 100 Watt FM station in Baraboo. You want someone who has been a major player for a number of years.

Personally I don't mind his enthusiasm. It's kind of funny because people are quick to complain about play by play announcers who lack a bit of excitement in their calls. He has too much for some. I like it. I want to think that I should be at the stadium and that I am missing a great game

What BEARing? Lol. A lot. Makes org look like it has little man syndrome. We just were so lucky to get a P x P guy from the big city. Not to mention it's from your most hated rival.

On Saturday night I listened to the Lions game on the radio.
Talk about amateur hour compared to Larivee and McCarran.

The Redskins local / regional TV broadcast personalities includes Joe Thiesman. Talk about a guy that never let's anyone forget he once QB'ed the Redskins. [horseow]

Zero2Cool (11h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (15h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (15h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16h) : that from Jaire

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

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

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

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

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

dfosterf (17h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (17h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (17h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (17h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (17h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (17h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (17h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (19h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (19h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (19h) : 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

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
