Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Eddy Fanor is the greatest fastpitch softball pitcher who ever lived...The King and His Court.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

I forgot about that guy....dude had a crew cut and a beer gut if I recall.
Yup. And he struck guys out pitching from 2nd base. His pitching arm was ripped and his other arm puny. LOL

Kind of the softball version of the globetrotters.
Every year the local sports media (especially Wayne Larivee) says a lot of the final Packer cuts will be on NFL rosters. Usually they turn out to be more green than gold. I think this is finally the year where some cuts make 53-man-rosters.
Hundley was 16 out of 23 for 236 yards and 4 TD's!

HOFer
guy really looked good the last two weeks
i'm thinking he could be the #2 this season
Agreed!
When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.
Pinkard looks like he might have a future in the NFL. The guy he smoked (Jean-Baptiste) is goingto be an opening day starter for the Saints (perhaps only due to injury to Keenan Lewis)
Not that he'll make the roster, but if he works hard on the practice squad, he could find himself on the 53 during the season with a strong candidacy for playing time in the future with GB or another team. Physical skills seem to be present.
He was plenty athletic enough. He got high enough, he just did so a half second early.
If we need to win this season with someone at QB other than #12, I'd say our best chance is with Hundley, from what I've seen of him. The reason is his strength and mobility in the pocket, his running ability and his ability to extend plays. If Tolzien starts, you get a typical, backup QB game manager. Defenses can easily game plan against him. Basically, pressure the hell out of him, and force him to make mistakes. You saw it last night with the attempted pass/almost a fumble play.
With Hundley you get Rodgers-lite (very lite but lite nevertheless). His legs are a real weapon despite his lack of experience. If he tucks and runs, his legs can mitigate mistakes and inexperience. His strength and ability to extend plays add a measure of unpredictability that defenses can't game plan for.

Best part of Hundley's game as a rookie is his pocket feel. For a kid that ran quite a bit of shotgun and some spread in college, he looks perfectly at home staying in the pocket and finding space to throw. He wasn't perfect, but he reset in a new spot more than once and was able to throw well.

I'd be shocked if Tolzien isn't #2. He's a gym rat and knows the offense in and out. He's certainly no Rodgers, but with him you'd at least be able to run the majority of the playbook. With Hundley I think the offense would be scaled back quite a bit.

I like Hundley's game. I think he'll be good - we keep saying "we know he won't be as god as Rodgers, but..." - but who's to say he won't be next in line of the Starr-Favre-Rodgers succession?
But I do think he needs a couple years of old-fashioned watching and learning.

I'm trying not to be too greedy. But say he is the next in progression. Even if he will one day be that good, unless Rodgers falls off a cliff or retires early, Hundley will have prove it somewhere else. That's why I wish he showed up four years later.
No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
He is going to be this generations Brunnell, Brooks and Hasselbeck.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Trade him in 2 years to an AFC squad for their first or second round pick. Until that time, he is insurance for the unthinkable.
Yeppers.
