    Another JSO Non-Story Story

    http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/79587142.html


    If you grant that professional football players at skill positions have confidence in themselves and that they'd like a lot of touches, then there is no story here at all.

    If you read the article, Silverstein essentially manufactures a controversy that doesn't exist. Everybody acknowledges they'd like the ball, and everyone acknowledges that they think they can get the job done. Silverstein's so desperate that at one point he makes up a response McCarthy might give if his receivers demanded the ball more.

    I know they have to fill space, but how about a breakdown of exactly how special teams coverage works and what happens when it breaks down, or an article about ways coordinators of successful red-zone offenses tend to attack?

    This...this is just garbage.

    Your thoughts are the same as mine. Essentially they built the story off Donald Driver being silent since the game. The only possible conclusion, according to Tom Silverstein, is that he is upset that Finley has seen more targets since coming back from his injury.

    It was funny to read James Jones talking about the talent in the 3 WR sets like he was on equal footing with the other two, though.

      The TE centric formation looked great in the first half. Not so much in the second. The story has half a case.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        I thought the same thing when I read it. Same with Silverstein's column about Nick Collins after Brandon Chillar signed his new deal.

          Except that the hook for the Finley story is Driver's silence. You must infer something from that to make the story. In Collin's case, you at least have an affirmative comment from his agent about unhappiness over his contract. Six months ago.

            The JSO column comments sure are a fun read.

              PR used to do stories like that. If we can come up with stuff like that, you'd think "professionals" would spit out quality without thinking about it.

                  Agreed. Ziggy's post-game summaries kicked ass as well and Winners and Losers always showed Nutz's genius (and started some fantastic discussions)

                      AAhhhmmm.... I did the Studs and Duds column last year and no one ever mentions that!
                      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.

                            Crusty's post-game chats were stupor...I mean super!
                            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.

                              In a strange way, that's frightening.
