    SPEAKING OF MIKE SHERMAN, the TRAINWRECK AS A GM

    Wide told a story about the trade of when GB traded, I think Matt Flynn to move up about 6-7 spots in round 1.

    Ron Wolf created and handed out a bunch of press on Dan Morgan to the media as he was convinced that is who GB would end up with.

    But there was a disagreement

    And since Sherman was taking over, he trumped Wolf and drafted....yup...JAMAL REYNOLDS

    interesting to hear all of that
    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 assume you meant Hasselbeck. But wait a minute. Wilde is saying that Wolf was telling the press who he thought the Packers would be drafting before the pick was made? That seems hard to believe. There has always been speculation though about whether that was Wolf's last draft or Sherman's first draft.

    I assumed it was material prepared to share after the pick. Still odd.

    yes, that could have been we well. I thought it was slightly before the pick. Either way the GB media heads covering GB knew Wolf wanted Morgan and Reynolds was all Sherman..per Jason Wilde

    Wolf’s ego was bigger than Bobble’s - and Bobble’s as big as his net worth. No fucking way Wolf would ever yield to anyone. Either Wolf put out misinformation on Morgan or he, ever the egomaniac, was trying to dissolve himself of the Reynolds fuck up in the aftermath.

    Wolf was giving pressors/info to the GB media. So not to anybody outside of the building. Times were very different back then.

    No cuz he inherited a great roster and then lost the job before the effects of his drafts took full effect.
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
