All Things Packers
I've been pretty silent about the Green and Gold this off-season, even though it has been a relatively newsworthy offseason. They drafted a QB, got a new defensive coordinator, had their star RB facing domestic violence charges, had their only good defensive back facing possible rape charges, their top wide-out refusing to report for camp, their star TE still not under contract, and their top defensive lineman refusing to report to camp.I did comment breifly about some of these issues, but in past years I would have had lots of profane things to say. Not this year.
You see, it doesn't really matter. Ted "Teen Wolf" Thompson doesn't care about winning now. He's rebuilding, ...Favre be damned.
This season is already lost (by "lost" I mean no playoffs).
Teen Wolf knows this, and for that reason he's not breaking the bank on any of these hold outs. His reasoning is, if we ain't going anywhere anyway, why not go nowhere at a lower price?
And I agree.
As long as he is rebuilding (an idea I think is stupid beyond belief), there is no point in giving Javon or Grady what they're looking for.
I'd throw all caution to the wind and play tough with them, make examples of them. We don't need them to go 8-8, we can do that just fine with Lee and Chatman.
Still, the wet socks in the local news sports departments continue to treat this like a big story, it's actually just a smaller consequence of the real story here. That we have a hall of fame QB, had one of the best offenses in the NFL, and were a handful of defensive veterans away from a legitimate Super Bowl opportunity. Facing this great, once in a lifetime opportunity, our new, dunderheaded GM decided to scrap the team.
Like I said before, ...at least we have our Sunday's back. For the first time since 1992 I will actually be able to get something done on the weekend!
I'll still watch, but my mind won't be running the "Packers.exe" process at 99% CPU for months on end.
With all those resources freed up, who knows what I'll be able to accomplish.
The sky's the limit.
