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]

wpr (4h) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (18h) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (20h) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (20h) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (23h) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (23h) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (23h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (26-Aug) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Packers signed someone for three year deal

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know

wpr (26-Aug) : YES!!!!!!

Mucky Tundra (26-Aug) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha

wpr (26-Aug) : He played pretty good.

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NAZIR STACKHOUSE HAS MADE THE 53

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks

schroeder84 (26-Aug) : @dfosterf I suspect Elgersma WILL be hard to hide. Raw, but talented
