    I found illuminating this quote on Kyri Thornton, contrasting him to Abbrederis:

    '"I think Thornton has really turned the corner in the weight and conditioning part of it," he said. "And Jared is here every day. So, he just has to get stronger, a little bigger. Everybody felt great about the way he showed in spring and the training camp he was having. So, yeah, definitely. It won't be lack of work ethic, that's for sure.​"'

    Turned the corner? In other words, he got his head out of his ass.

    Nobody's talked much about Mike Pennel, but I wonder if he has an opportunity to start in GB, and if his potential will influence a decision about whether to bring back Guion or Raji or both.
    Weight and conditioning is usually more of an issue for 300+ lb. DT's than it is for wide receivers. Hopefully Thornton will get it together.

    I would like to see them bring in Raji, Pennel and Guion and let the 3 of them battle it out for 2 spots.

    The gun was registered, the money was a payment from the Packers, and the smoke was confirmed as his weekly private consumption amount.
    LOL

    I mean, if you have a large entourage, it's conceivable you and your people could smoke it and you'd never sell any. Still, that's a lot of hash...

    Seriously doubt even wist could consume that if he played golf all week.

    But never mind that. Let's bring him back. I hope he is just in Stage 1 of the Drug Program. Might miss a suspension.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    He is a monster and if he gets the hang of playing with technique and a little discipline, he was play like a monster.

    EDIT:
    Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 18s19 seconds ago
    Again, I misunderstood what the Nelson injury was. It was his hip. Will clarify more in the blog in a little bit. #Packers

    ORIGINAL POST:
    Jordy Nelson had surgery.

    Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 1h1 hour ago
    McCarthy says WR Jordy Nelson's knee surgery was a cleanup and took place after Pro Bowl. Said its 6-8 weeks and things went well. #Packers

    Possible reason his production tailed off or was he simply drawing the lion share of coverage?

    Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 1h1 hour ago
    Nelson's knee issue was not related to the surgery in 2013.

    How about ST? Perhaps he would cover/block the correct guy, and do it well.

    Also, Murphy said plans are in place to renovate old luxury boxes and convert them to open air capability. Said #Packers fans requested it.

    Reminds me of back in the 1990's someone actually floated the idea of the Packers putting a dome on Lambeau. Packer fans were up in arms against it. Someone wrote "You can give Packer fans 30 years of listless, pathetic football, but if you try to keep them warm and dry, that's going too far!"

    i've wondered why the roofs that they use in england haven't cought on in the US. makes it louder and a lot better then watching a game in a dome

    something that keeps the rain and snow off the fans yet still lets all the light in

    like so

    They are going to try to make the windows open AND add heating so the die-hards don't get too chilly.

    Young man, are you trying to heat the whole neighborhood? Shut that door!

    Those things would cast from pretty weird shadows on the field at certain times.

    Packers are expected to reveal new throwback uniforms soon.

    Perhaps early 1950's version?
