    yup. the personnel guy over the numbers guy. that's good. hope he's got balls. guess we'll see soon enough. if he does that'll put the onus on MM to put up or shut up.

    We are 2/3 in agreement on remaining issues! I hope he knocks some heads together and gets the drama ended.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    GOTTA SAY THOUGH

    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    I got to someone other that Russ Ball as I thought more about it last evening before bedtime. I wanted to sleep on that. Take a break from Packerrats and watch Buffalo @ Jacksonville.

    Suddenly...Mae leaked that maybe a New Packer GM might have been named. I was surprised and went to Google before Packerrats.

    Questions?

    What TRUTHFULLY was going down and Houston and Brian Gutekunst?

    Was Eliot Wolf that far behind in the Interviews and Qualifications?

    It actually went down a day earlier than I expected although it was my analysis it had to go down ASAP; as I was paying a lot of attention to MM's behaviours. Why name the New GM Hire today?

    Did Packer President and CEO Mark Murphy hit the PANIC Button? If that's the case!? Who played any roles and that?

    If we couldn't get Schneider Gut was the guy I wanted Murphy to hire. I'd wager MM didn't want to lose him to the Texans.

    Love it.
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    E. Wolf must be feeling gut shot over this decision.

    Isn't Wolf like 34? No chance do I want someone that young to be GM. Assistant sure but not the big chair.

    Gute is phonetically correct and also a nod to his Minnesota heritage. Like lukefisk, notice the "e" in there?

    I like it. The packers have had their personnel team raided the last several years. This might be our last strong, capable and ready guy in the wings. Now we have to keep it going. Thompson will still scout and advise. So that’s very helpful.

    Do you really think this? If it was a planned transition, then sure. But if it wasn't, it sure sounds like he was given a token title and severance for a year.

    I also really want to know how much of Russ Ball's front runner status was an invention of the coverage.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    OK, last of the bad attitude:

    Predict when BG will have to fire the guy who might have paved the way (M3) for his ascension?

    If Spoon was right in his assessment of this as a win for M3, then its the worst reason to hire a GM. I don't care if the coach survives in his job, I want the fundamentals of the franchise maintained and McCarthy doesn't represent a key cog there.

    Of course, we could also use the back end of his name and call him Kunst. "That Kunst is really on fire in the draft this year." Then, when he inevitably disappoints us in a major way, we can drop the "s" and really let him have it
