Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Good for him. Nice to see members of the Packers front office being recognized for their success.
He has been in GB a long time. It is a real loss, as he was reported to be one of the real solid scouts that have made the Packers so successful. But, the packers seem to find (or develop) good scouts one after another, and the history of Packer scouts moving on to bigger and better things will attract the good ones to GB.
Maybe he's got a son the Packers can hire. Did you notice this year that Elliot Wolf was more front-and-center than ever before? He's certainly rising through the ranks.
I don't know if it's the quality of the scouts or the intensity of focus throughout the organization, but the Packers seem to scour the bushes more thoroughly than other organizations - there they go again, this time signing another corner who'd been in two other teams' rookie camps. Of course, the vast majority do not end up on the team, and fewer still as significant contributors, but in a game whose rules are based on achieving parity, any talented stone you can unearth is an advantage.
